    This game has the story of a blues clues episode, I can't believe Neil Druckmann would try to create this sequel in large part by pushing his own political agenda.

    Not as good as the first one, but still a FANTASTIC game. Had trouble putting it down because it was so engaging. Took me about 19 hours to finish and I loved almost every moment of it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Opinion about this game is very controversial. In fact, she is excellent. It can be seen that people really tried to make the game perfect, they love this game, in 25 hours I had 1 bug. She is infinitely beautiful. But the plot.
    Joel’s death is very controversial, because the game is about the connection of two heroes, about how they pass through the world of apocalypse. And at first I thought that Joel was replaced by Dina, but she is not the main character, unlike Abby. Here the situation is directly heating up, because even with Abby's unbelievably cool background, she should not be the one for whom we should beat Ellie. At this moment, I was simply waiting for an end without emotion, which was drawn out indefinitely. Unnecessary storyline with Leo and Yara. People were waiting for a game about Joel and Ellie, and not about soldiers and freaks. When Abby came to Ellie, I thought it was the end of the game. But the game did not end very long. Just a lack of understanding of the reason why I saw what was happening was throughout the rest of the gameplay. But even if you do not focus on the storyline of Abby (he is not bad, but the game is not about that), then beating Ally is the peak of trash. Then stupid mercy. Then already a nasty family life, after that everything. AND THIS IS NOT THE END. You go to kill Abby, and you **** do it so stupidly, and most importantly not to the end, this release, this useless fight, it was so unpleasant to look at all this.
    It is very difficult to describe in text the opinion of such a game when you have infinite love for the heroes of this game, its plot, which even in the second part was sometimes amazing, is not rare. But how the game led to the ending, and what it was, cannot be perceived .
    And I, of course, understand that non-traditional orientation is not critical. Yes, even game characters can have this kind of problem. But LGBT propaganda is not the most pleasant thing for the community.
    My rating is 4, because it is really a great game, and although terrible, but the absolute end of the game for most. And an objective assessment, better than a meaningless hat, for those who have made an unlimited contribution to its creation.

    This game, what to I have to say? It's one of the best and most exciting experiences in my life. I never ever played a game like this and felt this feeling about a game. When Joel dies, you think that the game is destroyed, it's not worth playing anymore. But, trust me, you I'll get one of the best experience of your life. The Last Of Us Part 2 shows us that revenge is a fool's game. The Last Of Us Part 2 teaches us that there isn't a good guy or a bad guy, there are people, trying to survive and make the life worthy. If you ask me about the Gameplay, Music, Scenarios, Characters and all that stuff, you will get from me a ton of 10/10, the gameplay is like the first game, with some good improvements. The music by Gustavo Santaolalla is perfect and fits perfectly with the style of the game. Characters may not see quite "good" at first look, but, as the story is been told, you start to love and understand them. The graphics are astonishing, and probably the beautiful graphic of the generation. But, what really catches you is the story. At first you don't understand why to play with Abby, and you become very mad to play with Joel's murderer, but as the game continues, you start to see that Abby is like Joel, a person who is strong, and very mad with everything, and when Lev is introduced, Abby starts to change and become as Joel were in the ending of The Last Of Us. I cried so much when Ellie was trying to play Future Days without her fingers, and when Joel was trying to apologize with her and her was trying to sorry him. It's a very Must-Play game, and I'm sure to say that it I'll be the GOTY 2020. Play The Last Of Us Part 2 now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here's the problem: People are upset that Joel died, he's a great character, and very lovable, and all the little touches down to the book on his bedside table make his death hurt even more. But the reality is honestly, he had it coming, he made way too many enemies to not die, and honestly when it comes down to it he made a selfish choice at the end of the first game and paid the price within the first four hours of the second. If it wasn't Abby it would be someone else sometime soon that kills him. As for the rest of the story, ya a lot of the stuff that happens sucks, but they beautifully manage to take a person who brutally murders your favorite character and make her rather human, even likable at times, it's a brilliant example of no good or bad characters, only humans, and if everyone would stop review bombing and just play the game I think the reviews would be a lot better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I spent a good amount of time and effort avoiding spoilers, I figured it was all being blown out of proportion and there was no way a game as good as TLOU would get a sequel that was anywhere near as bad as everyone was claiming. I was warned by more than one friend not to spend the money but I did and now I understand the hate. I went into it knowing that Joel doesn't survive and I kinda understood that decision, he was getting older and honestly he wouldn't be capable of the level of fighting and action it would take to survive the hostile landscape they exist in. I expected him to go out in a cliche but respectful way, saving Ellie or Tommy (his only family) but the choice they made here just pisses in the face of all the emotion and connection players developed over the course of the first game. I assume a lot of people did what I did and replayed the first game recently to refresh all the info, so these emotions were in full force. The fact that NaughtyDog was willing to treat his character with that level of hate and disregard shows how little they care about anything other than making money by pushing whatever agenda is hot.

    There are so many other ways they could have told this same story that would have been amazing, instead they chose a way that has established characters doing things that go completely opposite of their personalities and instead of figuring out a way to make us feel some sort of compassion for Abby you take the easy way out and force us to play as her for 10 hours and just hope we care enough at the end to overlook the insane choice Ellie makes by not killing Abby because woman beating in man's head with golf club, good but woman killing woman who took almost everything she cared about, including her fingers, bad.

    The game has positives, when I first started it I was blown away by the visuals, they're breathtaking. The game play is good and everything seemed polished with none of the glitches or issues that seem to be present in most AAA titles lately. The only problem is the story and there is nothing that can save a story this bad.

    The narrative is gripping, some really powerful moments, and a game I couldn’t put down even though it was really hard to play because it’s so gruesome.

    I wish I could make it a 9.5, it’s not perfect, but it’s really really superb. Play it with an open mind and you’ll be rewarded.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A HUGE LETDOWN! Everything is good except the writing, The Last of Us 2's Writing is absolutely **** here's why I think that:

    - The Story -
    In a nutshell.. The Entire Story is "ReVEnGe iS BaD". That's the theme.. "ReVegne SUper BaD" The same **** thing beatin unto you constantly throughout the story. It got tiresome & boring quickly. It's a generic cliche story told million times before, it feels so lazy specifically compared to the first game which was so unique and masterful in it's themes & storytelling. It's really disappointing.. - The Characters -
    So Many Characters in this game are introduced then Forgotten completely. Most of them lack depth and development because you barely even see most of them. they feel so bland. - Jesse impregnates Dina, then fights with Ellie a bit then dies suddenly, and then he's completely forgotten as if he never existed.
    - Dina has no real character to her, she just makes jokes sometimes & she's the main love interest for Ellie.. That's all. Barely any reason to care about her

    - Manny.. Literally all he does is that he spits on Joel's body & says pendejo a lot.. He dies in front of Abby then completely forgotten. - Abby's character was handled horribly.. Joel kills Abby's Father to *Save* Ellie, because she's like his daughter & the surgery is not even guaranteed to work, so Ellie might of died for nothing, Abby tortures then kills Joel out of *Vengeance* literally minutes after he saved her life without any hesitation, and the writers expect me to care for Abby?? I think Conceptually, the idea of making the player control the villain is great, but the execution was absolutely terrible. Showing flashbacks of her 9 HOURS after she killed Joel, forcing you to play as her for 10 HOURS.. Totally disastrous attempt to make us "care" for her.. She could of been a really great character but they managed to effed up the execution sadly.. - Ellie suddenly becomes an insufferable brat and completely changed from the first game without any real believable development to her character

    - Joel barely appears and dies in the first 2 hours out of nowhere in the most pathetic way possible. His character was really dumbed-down. He survived in a zombie apocalypse for 25 YEARS and knows not trust anyone, but they made him stupid enough to share his name to total strangers. Completely out of character. This is the same with Tommy

    - There's this pregnant women who looks like she's about to give birth, stupidly.. she fights in the front lines?! Literally with Guns.. How are we supposed to care about characters like these when it feels like the writers themselves don't care about them.

    - The Ending -
    Ellie mercilessly kills HUNDREDS of people without hesitation throughout the Game, she left her home to kill Abby after she let her go Twice, she was determined to kill her, After gunning through countless of soldiers to get to her. She starts fighting her with a knife..?? Then Using her Fists?? SHE HAD GUNS, WHY DIDN'T SHE SHOOT HER?? Feels like the writers wanted Ellie to lose her fingers at the end but couldn't figure out a competent way to do it..

    The Ending is just so unsatisfying.. Ellie literally ABANDONS HER LOVER & CHILD TO KILL ABBY but she let her ago? After ALL THE TROUBLE she went through, she decides to change her mind when there's literally only the character you're SUPPOSED to kill left..

    One of the most underwhelming endings to a story i have ever seen.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. - "Huge spoilers alert"

    Where to begin... first of all, this is not the game everyone has been waiting for. At the end of The Last of Us, I was waiting for Ellie & Joel's journey to continue in Part II. I was hyped to discover what will happen to them in this game, and take part to their journey once again... that was my big mistake. Although I watched every gameplay trailer for Part II, I could never imagine the real story behind all of this. The only reason I don't put it a strong 10/10, is mainly my mistake, because I was hoping to play the game out of my imagination, while I should've let my imagination, and play the game Naughty Dog wanted me to play... Yes Joel died, yes you're obligated to play as Abby for way more time that you'd like to, but if you've never played The Last of Us, you'd feel ok with that, because you've never experienced the strong link between Joel & Ellie, and you wouldn't feel the pain that Ellie felt when Joel was killed directly in front of her... yes, I'm kind of trying to say that this game isn't made for those who've played the first part. What I'm also trying to say, is that all the critiques towards this game are caused by the fact that players got disappointed by the story, not because it is bad, but because it isn't what they'd like it to be.

    This game is a masterpiece. Once again, Naughty Dog proved their capability to approach the scenario like no other studio is capable of. The graphical design is stunning, I could never feel myself as emerged in a video game, as when I've played The Last of Us Part II (maybe except the first part, obviously).

    The first disappointment came, when I started to understand that it's been too long that I'm playing as Abby. I felt more & more angry, since I wanted to end this as soon as possible to play as Ellie again. This moment could've almost ruin my whole gameplay experience. I didn't even care about looting, I just wanted to finish... when came the day 3 at seattle, playing as Abby, once entering the aquarium and finding all her friends killed by Ellie, I finally understood why Naughty Dog did this. They wanted us to feel both sides of the story. When you kill them playing as Ellie, you only see them as enemies, not knowing what they've been through. But, once you end the journey of Abby, and realise what really happened, that's where things change. What really got me mad, is when I had to fight Ellie, beating her almost till death, while playing... as Abby.

    I had the same confused feelings for the rest of my gameplay. I didn't know on which side I was, but I was curious to see how it would end up. In the final fight between Ellie & Abby, I suddenly felt bad for Abby, because I started to understand that she doesn't deserve this... or I could simply feel her pain, since I've been on her side during my gameplay. At the end, It got me kind of happy that they didn't kill each other. Although, Ellie lost two of her fingers... now she can't play guitar normally... maybe one of the most memorable things she had from Joel... those were the consequences to the violence that Ellie brought...

    Neil Druckmann said: "people will either love or hate this game." I can understand his words more than ever, after I've finished the game.

However, the way they killed my boi Joel, who we followed through the first game is pure wrong. It is not like him to drop his guard like that and just describe who he is and where he lives, that’s my first problem. The second is that I did not care at all about Abby, I wanted her dead as soon as she killed my boi, and they they had the audacity of playing as Abby for 10+ hours and guilt shame us into thinking that she’s this angel for looking after a bunch of kids. Ellie has remorse for the ones she killed Abby does not. Good game **** Abby! Expand

    Where to even begin with this mess. The game is suppose to be a sequel to the first game but takes a dip on it's story telling, characters and world. This game should be used as an example on how to not make a story heavy game. As a loving fan of the first game I would now like to just forget that this mess ever made it onto my console.

The game makes you kill, even if you do not want, dogs of people, children, what nonsense?

    - Graphics and sound are awesome.
    - Gameplay is passable. Nothing exceptional.

    Cons:
    - Story. Oh gods the story. It tries to be an edgy revenge story but falls soundly flat on that because there is no payoff. It forces you to play a character where it's made clear early on that you're supposed to hate her and tries to make her seem more 'sympathetic'. Honestly how they thought they could pull this off is a joke. For the ending I thought nothing could top Mass Effect 3 for a horrifically bad end but this game does it by a clear margin.
    - Mis-advertisement ND uses Joel to promote the game. Joel barely exists in the game and virtually all the promotional imagery wasn't in the game or it was doctored.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a game that knew it was going to be hard to swallow. It knew that killing the main character from the first game in its opening hours was going to infuriate people. That people would be so terribly angry that he was crippled and beaten to death with a golf club.

    “That’s not how you treat the damn hero of the story!”

    That’s the point. This game wants to show you just how horrible its world is. How there aren’t heroes, there are people surviving and dying. What makes Joel special? The fact that you connected to him so well in the first one? The fact that he lost his real daughter at the beginning of the outbreak and that’s sad? The fact that he loves Ellie like a daughter And it helped heal his brokenness? So what? Tough **** That doesn’t give him plot armor. He’s a man that made enemies and those enemies caught up to it.

    That’s not to say I wasn’t hurt when it happened. That I didn’t feel a little heartbreak watching someone that I also connected with so much back in the first game (especially being able to project on to him having become a father pretty recently at the time) get belittled and murdered in front of who was effectively his daughter. It **** SUCKED and I wanted to kill Abby for it. BUT that’s the POINT! I felt how Ellie felt (though obviously not to the same extent since he’s just a video game character) and I wanted revenge!

    The scene afterward when Ellie stops by Joel’s house one last time before heading out on her revenge mission had me tearing up my living room. When she put her face in his jacket and breathed in his scent one last time...chills and tears. But it also put me in the right mindset for the game to follow. It’s sad, it’s depressing, it’s HEAVY. But it’ powerful too. Just like the first game, you follow a character who is broken, makes selfish decisions and causes pain to a lot of people, but from THEIR perspective it’s the right thing to do. There is no easy answer, it’s not simple “I’m the good guy, they are the bad guy” and it makes you really stop and think about everything from a much more mature and nuanced way.

    And that’s just the STORY! To me the most important part of a game simply because I love single player story driven experiences but this is a game after all and it doesn’t sit well with me to only review the story.

    The gameplay is very signature Naughty Dog and perfectly in line with the spirit of the first game. By that I mean the com at is intense, brutal, and sometimes claustrophobic. It’s also not perfect. I can’t really point out what specifically about the combat in Naughty Dog games that doesn’t feel QUITE right but I think most people (even mega fans) know what I’m talking about. You have a blast during the combat, don’t get me wrong, but the actual gunplay is outclassed by other games. Not a deal breaker, maybe not everyone agrees but that’s my two cents.

    Graphics get a 10/10 from me. What more can I say than the game says for itself. The lush forest environments and overgrown cityscapes pop and are the most readily apparent example of course but even the drab, damp indoor areas lit only by natural light (in most cases) managed to amaze. This is maybe even MORE impressive because of how easily these areas could look flat and uninteresting. It takes a lot of work to simulate indirect lighting on a system that can’t do ray tracing but they manage to do it with amazing technical skill and talent.

    What I’m saying it this game really is every bit what the reviewers say it is. Don’t believe the crap about paid-for reviews and people sucking up to a Sony and Naughty Dog. Experience it for yourself. If you don’t like it because you don’t agree with the story direction or what have you then that’s fine. Your opinion is valid and I don’t knock you for it. If you never cared about the game to begin with I don’t expect to change your mind with this. Just please don’t buy into the hate that spewed out after the leaks. It’s just isn’t fair to yourself more than anyone else.

    While Having amazing graphics and attention to detail the game in general feels like its trying to be red dead redemption 2 but failing miserably ar it, the gameplay feels outdated and clunky at times, the story is unsatisfying and all over the place, the characters act like anything but human.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So here is my journey with this game. The first game is one of my top 4 games of all time. the characters and story moved me in such a way that i was overjoyed to hear there would be a sequel. We could learn what happens when ellie finds out what joel did. She could decide to use her immunity to the most she could to help people. We could find other immune people who were not as well intentioned. We could expand the story of the infected and maybe make them more then just jump scares. We could contend with the corrupt military. But we get none of that. When i heard the leaks i did not want to look because i have always trusted ND because everything they have done was so high quality but the worse peoples said things were i had to look. And when they said that Joel is murdered and you have to play half the game as his murder that's when I decided this was not an instant buy. I decided to wait until there were definitive reviews that could confirm it and there were. But even after this my love for ND and the Last of Us characters was so great that i watched the story playthrough saying if it fit i would buy the game because the Graphics, music and gameplay look amazing. but sadly this story is just plain bad. none of the characters from the first game feel or act like the characters we all know. And the new ones make the same incomprehensible choices. And i just can't support this bad a story. If its others cup of tea so be it but i don't even want to play this game or even watch this as a playthrough a second time the story and the way it's told is just that bad. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From the very start of this game i enjoyed it, the game is dark, gritty and very emotional. Joel's death hits like a truck and throughout the game you can sense the loss in Eliie. Ellie's thirst for revenge it something you can get behind, well, for people who played the first game. And as the story unravels and you learn of Abby's reasoning you can start to understand her reasoning. As for the technical parts of the game, the graphics are top notch, the combat feels like an improved version of TLOU1, which i loved. The music in this game will give you serious nostalgia for the first game and some of the songs in it will get you emotional and in some cases, may even make you shed a few tears. one thing i wasn't keen on was Abby's section, especially after what she had done to Joel but i think that was intentional. All in all this is a great game that is deserving of all the praise (and some of the critiques) but not deserving of all the review bombs from people who claim to hate the ending even on day 1 of release. No game is perfect and all have their flaws but this to me is one of the closest you can get to an actual 10/10 so that is the score i will give it. All of this comes from someone that has played and platinumed the game. Expand

The story though doesn't make much sense: Characters don't behave like we know them and make choices that every fan of the game would frown upon. The game also made a false advertising over who we play as. Frankly, we play the second half of the game as a character that is hated by the player. The also try to tell us she's a great characters by showing her pet dogs and be an animal lover.
    If you only knew what she did at the beginning of the game you'd hate her. Despise her.

The way they killed Joel off was extremely idiotic and never would have happened in TLoU part 1. The story just seemed to be one big pandering session for the LGBT community. It's not bad to have SOME Inclusion but it seemed that the whole game was only made FOR THEM while disregarding everything that happened to the last game.

    The gameplay doesn't look to be any improved from the last one, which is rather sad.

    Not only that but at the last battle, it simply leaves a sour taste and a slap to every fan of the first part. Ellie, who cut through and killed hundreds to get to Abby, Joel's killer, Decides on the last moment; when she could kill Abby right then and there, drowning her, to grow a conscience and lets the KILLER OF HER ADOPTIVE FATHER LEAVE. While Abby had some knife slashes to her, Ellie got two WHOLE fingers BIT off. But no, it's a game clearly worth of a near perfect score right?

    Graphics / Lighting / Effects / Animation -> 9.5 out of 10.0
    The graphics are beautiful. The landscape and the surroundings look astonishing. The lighting especially inside of buildings with direct light, indirect light and defuse light is one of the greatest I've ever seen in a video game up until today.
    Sound / Sound effects / Music / Voice Acting -> 9.5 out of 10.0
    The sound and the sound effects are on top f.e. the sound of the rainfall is impressive or the sound of the wind howling through the tall grass. Yes, you can actually hear that. The music, the score is beautiful and emotional and adds perfect to the visuals.
    The Voice Actors have given their best to make their characters come to live on screen.

    Game play / Mechanics / Controls / AI -> 6.5 out 10.0
    The game play and the mechanics haven't changed a lot from the first part and they still feel like 2013 and a bit outdated in 2020. There a more possibilities for modifying the weapons and the abilities of the character you are controlling/playing. But that also means that the flaws of the first part have found there way into the TLuO2. The gun play still feels a little bit clunky and so the spare ammunition is sometimes wasted in a game where every bullet counts. Sometimes the camera positioning isn't quite right, so that suddenly a clicker instantly takes you out unseen and in a stealth section your character may act uncorresponding or in an unintended fashion, because some buttons are tied to different functions simultaniously. Apropos stealth; the enemy AI is sometimes shifting between good to dump like a rock. You can flank nearly every enemy even groups in in a circular motion, so you can kill everyone or everything off from the end of that chain.

    Story / Storytelling and Pacing / Characters and Character development -> 1.0 out of 10.0
    The problem with TLoU2 is the story and the way it is presented. TLoU1 was a story and character driven game. That was the reason the fans loved that game so much. We played 90 % of that game as Joel and 10 % of the main story as Ellie. Then there was the DLC, which focused more on Ellie and her "coming out" and her relationship to Riley. So the fans of the first game cannot all be homophobic as Neil **** now tries to imply upon the ongoing so called "Review Bombing", which by the way happens in both directions.

    The new characters are not introduced in a believable way.
    The known characters from TLoU1 act completely out of place -> the way Joel dies. Ellies reaction to being lied at by Joel about Salt Lake City.
    The Story is not believable. -> Abby spares Ellie and Tommy on two, different accounts.

    They way the story is presented is awful. All the flashbacks are destroying the pacing of the story and the game play as well. Sometimes through all these flashback you even don't know in which timeline you are right now, when you continue to play. These time lapses and flashbacks are also interfering with any character development or introduction in this game, so that every identification or understanding of any of these new characters and there motivation is nearly impossible or not believable. And unfortunately the very good voice acting cannot safe that.

    There is no build up in this story to a real climatic moment, only shocking moments of violence, which are also presented in an awful way, so that it seams, you are watching a low budget action- or horror movie.
    A movie with a completely unknown cast and the one actor you know has only a minute of screen time, just enough to push the sales, because you can put him in the trailers and in the marketing like Robert Englund's appearences in so many low-budget horror flics.

    In addition some of these violent scenes and acts are forced upon the player. The player has no choice, because all this is scripted and even worse, some of this scenes are intended to manipulate the player in the way he sees and feels for these characters. That is a real cheap trick by the way.

    The linear, scripted and time lapsed broken story and gameplay is in my opinion a complete failure and is outdated in 2020. Naughty Dog has proven that they are not able to deliver a game in which you as a player have the choice, what you want to expercience. They are only capable of forcing you to play what they want you to play in a linear, restricted fashion.

    And I am absolutely sure, if Naughty Dog would have given the player the choice and freedom to play Abby or not, most of the players would have disagreed and skipped this possability, because of the way her character was introduced or “injected” here in this way.

    Here is the real Final score -> only 5.0 out of 10.0
