Now that i had finish the game i will give you specifics reasons why indeed deserve a 0 and i'm going to compare with other Subvert expectation games and explain what's going on here .

    Remember Mgs2 Sons of liberty were the tank mission is playable by Solid Snake. Kojima mislead the audience by pretending the whole journey was from Solid Snake Perspective. It was a marketing stunt. After the First Mission the game changes to Raiden and the script kicks out . What happen here in my perspective is that I let the game flow for what it's before jumping to conclusions. What i got was an incredible 4 wall breaking experience giving context to the rookie character as the protocol for Solid Snake Simulation. Side characters works, the Dialogues are outstanding and you even have the chance to fight alongside the legend solid snake. The character is respected in every single way to the point of being him the one giving the last words until the credits role and of course he lives. The fanbase was still divided but after many years the groundbreaking story is still a substantial point of how to subvert expectation properly.

    Now compare this to the last of us 2: Joel an iconic character arm with knowledge and experience in survival for 25 years all the sudden forgot about to survive in an apocalyptic environment and the script which is all over the place butcher the man in less than 20 minutes on screen. 5 as playable character and 15 until he lied death.
    The game forced you to play with the killer and the director tried to hard making her character human or feel sympathy with the player. This doesn't work so the player grab hopes that the ending fill this whole by at least complete the goal of the story which was revenge. This is portrayed as ellie hunt every single member of the screw but throw everything away by letting the killer alive into a nihilistic ending. So you have an iconic character death for nothing. You forced the player to accept his presence as flashbacks and send the entire weak script to the sky by thinking the message is more important than character progression and cohesive storytelling layers.

    it's a story that don't give you anything . Throw away every feeling you got toward this characters and pretend to deliver a message within all the violence. There is no more be said and no reason to discuss any Agenda or feminist frequency ideologies Druckman loves so much. Instead of been a love letter to the fans it become a tool for divide gamers and send them into a depressing journey without conclusion.

    This game deserve a 0 because what it does is nothing more than inflict damage to our society and to the few places humans had to shield themselves from reality. Video games    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loved the first one with this I really have some issues
    Pro: good looking graphics, the world and characters look just awsome, some really gross moments (even for me as a video gamer verteran), still some hints of a good story design....
    Contra: .... which could have been good if they did it like in TLOU1 where you WERE Joel i mean they just nailed it in this part you were so invested in the charakters Ellie&Joel especially that you just wanted to get them through the story and survive and even at the end (I wont spoil) which was debatable I was very excited and happy/adrenaline fuelled. But the Story in TLOU2 oh man... i dont even know where to start so Ellie is mad at Joel for the end of the first one which for me is kinda fkn **** he just saved her life period. (Spoiler) Killing Joel in the second half is not too bad of an idea if they did it correct but it was just so underwealmingly bad written, even more after that you had to play his killer to see her side of the story i mean like come on thats the least thing i want to do i just want revenge. Even more of a thing that bothers me is the end which denies you as a player the revenge Ellie just decides like "nope I m not gonna avenge the person that was like a father to me" but killing everybody else on this journey to revenge was ok ? Jesus what a letdown. I really expected better writing of naughty dog.    … Expand

    The whole dreadful, depressing, infuriating, cut-scene heavy reality slaps you full-on.

    You'd think after a 7 year lag, you'd get a more substantive experience, however in this case you'd be wrong. In a game where you're forced to act as despicably as possible only to get lectured and shamed for it later on, the most obvious gun we come across is Chekhov's Gun. You can't build something up for 20+ hours of gameplay and then not bother to pay it off--that's Chekhov's Gun Apparently in these past 7 years full of crunch, fired employees, Take Down notices, Simpering "critics" and general angst, Neil Druckman has forgotten how to tell a story.

    A washed out, plot-hole riddled corpse of game that killed all the good of the first outing, and did it with a grimaced smirk.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Imagine this situation. Suppose you are a fan of the Witcher game (I deliberately chose a game of approximately equal cult status), and the publisher showed you a trailer with the continuation of the story of Herald and Ciri. And then the game comes out, and you instantly buy it. And ... Full **** up. This is not a TLOU. Cool graphics, a normal plot with gray morality, good gameplay, but this is some other game. I am now using the TLOU2 plot in The Witcher World. This is a spoiler ... A dumb pumped woman kills Herald from Rivia at the very beginning of the game, and you are offered to play for Ciri to avenge Herald. When Tsiri reaches the peak moment of his story, you are switched to that dumb woman who killed Herald, and they show that she is exactly the same as Herald. Look, she has the same skills, she has her own Enifer, her own Ciri, we returned the Herald to you, only now he is not a charismatic man, but a boring and not beautiful woman. Rejoice ... Why? How should we like her? That she saved the deer? Oh god ... No. I will not accept it. In general, it lasts another 10-15 hours, and when you reach the peak moment of meeting with Tsiri, you are forced to kill Tsiri with your own hands. Well ****, really? Personally, I just tried to die, but the game made me kill Ciri. This is hell, honestly. Well, the final part is just some kind of cheap Brazilian series.
    In general ... If this story was a separate game, I am sure that the feedback from the players would be good enough. And so. We were deceived ...    … Expand

    A história do jogo é muito bem contada, e sem pontas soltas e a imersão criada nesse jogo através da narrativas, cenários, inimigos e trilha sonora complementa o sentimento que esta imerso no jogo e deve ser algo a ser seguido nas próximas gerações!

    Minha recomendação é para pessoas com mente aberta e maduras, que tolerem o gore, porque ele esta bastante presente no jogo, mas a violência não é forçada, ela existe dentro daquele contexto porque a história leva a esse ponto. E sobre as críticas a homossexualidade, religião, aborto, drogas, etc, não influenciam na narrativa, são temas que estão presentes mas como pano de fundo, é apenas um background que faz parte dentro do contexto social, e não como agenda política como pessoas ignorantes e com mente fechada para novas experiências não foram capazes de absorver o melhor desse jogo, meus parabéns a Naughty Dog e espero novos games com a mesma imersão e qualidade!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here's my take. For reference, the first game is easily my favorite game of all time and my favorite story ever told. I do not understand all the negativity that surrounds this game. I hear people complain about how the characters that we grew to love are treated, and you know what? First off it's a post apocalyptic world, people die, get over it. Also, at first I was a little mad about Joel's death, but as the game unfolded it made sense. Everyone **** about Abby, and at first I didn't like the idea of playing as her, but she also has a side to the story, and she is not the monster that everyone puts her out to be. Her side shows she has heart and care for others. Those others just happen not to be the characters we love from the first game. What this game really shows is that Ellie is no more evil than Abby is, and Joel was no more evil than Abby is too. I think Tess said it best in the first game. "We're **** people Joel, it's been that way for a long time."

    NOBODY in this world is a saint. Ellie and Joel are just as bad people as all of the WLF and Abby. This shows you that the world is dark, and it's meant to be. Once I warmed up to Abby as a character, I really did not mind her place in the story, and I think her motivation for killing Joel is well warranted. Did I want it to happen as a fan of the series? No. But I feel it was necessary to make a sequel worth anything. If you're a hater, take a second look. Put yourself into the shoes of every character, especially the ones you take control of. It's not a bad game. Matter of fact, it's fantastic. Cheesy moments from time to time, but not enough for me to go review bomb this game like everyone else is doing. Enjoy it, and realize at the end of the day, it's just a video game. Don't take it too seriously, and don't let it upset you like it has so many people.    … Expand

If ND really wanted me and others to like Abby, they should’ve made her spare Joel (who had just rescued her from certain death), thus ruining their whole revenge idea for the rest of the game. What does this mean? They should’ve scrapped this terrible plot. Out of all the directions they could have taken this once great story, the direction they went was just incredibly bad. Why not make another dr/scientist character who was able to find a cure, only to fail at the end after Ellie willingly lets them kill her if you wanted to really tug at my heartstrings. That could have been a huge amount of gameplay if the goal in the story was to find the cure like it was last time. Other good ideas would include... having that creepy cult be full of immune people and purposely, even forcefully breeding to make more immune (pure) people and would better explain why they’d want to kill other people and having it revealed that the team with the scientist who may have a cure has been kidnapping and killing these immune people over and over to find the cure and failing before they even attempted it with Ellie. Then a revenge story would make sense. Dina and/or Joel, hell, even Abby would want revenge against them for lying to Ellie. Or the cultists could have kidnapped Ellie, discovering her immunity and trying to force her to breed. That would be a compelling story about rescue/and escape. If they had taken a different course, Abby could’ve been likable and even friends with Ellie. This entire thing was just a slog. I couldn’t believe I had to go through that huge traversal with Abby, knowing she was going to find her friends dead... where’s the suspense in that? I truly didn’t care about what I was doing for most of this game. I was really hoping to see some characters actually make more good decisions in this game. I don’t know why they decided to make most of the characters dullards with no emotional intelligence. Why not give them the ability to have conversations and empathy that could avoid violence. In the first game we see the separation of evil people and good people. Guy protecting spunky girl who reminds him of his daughter vs. cannibals and merciless highway robbers. In the end he makes a tough choice that puts him in a grey area, but those In this game we are forced over and over again to murder people who we don’t really want to because of nonsensical decisions. Sure it’s a complicated world with monsters around every corner, and no therapists, but Jesus, give us some hope for humanity. I was extremely disappointed by the events of this story. Bleak indeed.… Expand

    The real problem was how they royally f*cked up the story. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay was Okay, the environments looked gorgeous. But omg Abby. She was never needed in the story in the first place.

And that s*x scene, at least give her fkn b**bs man, I gagged at that scene and with the music, it made it even more horrifying. I just wanted to play as Joel or even Ellie and them meeting different characters, factions, groups, govts or anything and surviving different situations and dangers. Opening up this post-apocalyptic world to us more than ever you know, kinda more like the walking dead game but better. Take me on an adventure and not some cliched revenge story eww. Fkn milk the game, maybe kill Joel in the third game due to him being bitten or something and us continuing to play as the ever-maturing Ellie. Something on those lines and I'll still buy the game man. But don't get stupid sub-plots and NPCs and suddenly making it/them relevant to the main story. As a narrative-driven game, your USP has to be an enthralling story which unfortunately was the worst aspect of the game. I'll still congratulate naughty dog for making a bold move with the story and honestly, they should've known it was gonna be a hit or miss and unfortunately it was the latter. Really had something going on for you, but I guess mistress Anita had to be satisfied. Kudos to the person who leaked the story-line, you saved money for a lot of other people who just might take a pass for this one and instead buy cyberpunk. At least CD Projeckt respects it's consumers and their wishes. Had high hopes for TLOU 2, I cri now :(… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a shame that all the hard work the developers and artist put in this game was overshadowed due to the disappointing story line. When it comes to scenery, voice acting and acting in general, the lightning, all the mechanics and how well every detail in the game was amazingly thought out, truly I was in awe for all of those things, but it´s A STORY BASED GAME, and it´s sums up to nothing when the story is disappointing. Now I expected to Joel to die in this second part, I was ready for that, but to kill him that way? I got mad at the fact that Joel and Tommy walked into a group like that without any hesitation, they survived for years, they know not to trust people, but they did and that was so out of character from both. Also this games forces you to do the worst things when you´re playing as Ellie, and then tries to be the savior with Abby with a hidden agenda to get you as a player to like Abby which fails completely on my part. Also those 5+ hours of playing Abby were so boring, I found myself not even searching for collectibles and just wanted to get it over with. Lev and Yara were interesting characters which lighted up the mood when playing as Abby. Also hated the fact that you have to beat up Ellie. Spent the whole first game trying to protect Ellie so that they make us beat her on the second? what is all that about? I wish we had more character development with Jesse and Dina, they had great potential. Like that bonfire scene talked about Ellie mentioned before playing the guitar, I would have loved to see how they played out. that way we had a better idea of how good Ellie had it and how much she cared for Dina and threw it all away for revenge. that would have been more impactful than the manipulative story line of trying to make Abby the better person when she is in fact the worst. She takes pleasure on pain, Ellie got traumatized. I'm honestly disappointed.… Expand

And the second part just killing this relationship .

Some are mad that they killed Joel. Let me ask you, what did you expect? He had enemies and if you ask me, he deserved to die. What he did in the end of TLOU 1 was selfish. I understand why he did it, killed all the medics and saved Ellies life, but for what cost? Save one life, because you cannot handle your emotions and let millions to suffer. That is a scumbag move. Beggining of TLOU 2 felt like a High school drama game and again, what did you expect? We are playing as a 18 years old girl, who is in love, no freaking sh*t that they did it. And what does it matter who she kisses boy or a girl.
    I'm not done yet with this game and I don't know if I like this game. But for now gameplay 9/10, atmosphere 10/10 and story is 9/10, lvl disain 10/10, sound/audio 10/10. Details for this game 10/10. Holy flying crap, those details are amazing, how glass shatters, snow physics, if you headshot someone or shotgun the leg out of window :) and so on. Details ARE amazing. Graphics 10/10, feels like playing with ps5

    Why do I rate this game right know? Because of bombing...
    I hate then games or movie/TV series try to write some SJW or some forced gay sh*t into the story. Key word is forced.
    Example is Netflix Witcher. If it's not forced SJW then I don't know.
    But for know TLOU2 does not feel forced and all is going smoothly, reccomend to play. Have been playing for 9 hours and already shocking.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, so.....the ones who gave a rate from 0 to 4 to this game are dumb, seriously.
    It’s incredible how stupid peoples are, saying wrong things about the gameplay and horrible things about the story, a story that completes the first game in all of his aspects.
    Main critics :
    - Terrible characters
    - Terrible gameplay
    - Terrible story
    Ok.....so, you didn’t play the game at all or you played it with a mask on your face.
    The characters are wonderful, every facial expression is full of feelings and with every blow given / taken you can feel the heaviness of the actions and the tenacity with which Ellie, morally destroyed and with only the desire for revenge, makes her way for a story extremely rich in twists and indisputably breathtaking moments. Now, you're all pissed because they killed Joel, you're ridiculous. You can't accept the fact that Joel, as a human with dubious moral choices, died like any other **** person you kill in the game. It is hateful to play with Abby, and rightly so, I do not dispute the fact that some stylistic choices of the character did not make me appreciate her but, morally what she did is right (although she could have killed Joel without torturing him ), just accept it. The plot is poetry, the destruction of a little girl's mind as she makes her way to give space to her revenge, another girl who sees all her friends killed and the desire for revenge that grows in her too .... **** it.
    The gameplay is absolute perfection in a game like this, so many ways to complete a duel and so many ways to die trying it.
    The AI is the best that i’ve seen in a game (you have to turn it on in the game settings, dumb).
    The end of the story is the only thing a bit disappointing, Ellie’s decision to retry another time to kill Abby( losing everything she had, Dina and the possibility to play guitar) is stupid if you look it with your eyes and not with the eyes of a mentally destroyed 19 years old girl during an apocalypse.
    But Ellie had to kill her, and so the game would have the best ending possible.
    This is the only thing i have to say on the story of this colossal game, perfect in every other aspect, in every other character and in almost every developer decision in the plot.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would like to just let you all know, those bad reviews written on June 19th when the game was just released and players probably only played 2 hours of the game should be totally ignored.

    I have finished the game and I can say, with confidence, that this game is a masterpiece. Yes it has a lot of moments in the story we would have liked not happening, but let's face it, the world of TLOU is cruel, is dark and it's realistic.

    Ellie makes weird decisions that can be seen as unnecessary or dramatics, but I honestly think, placing ourselves on her shoes, this girl has gone through hell and back. She has lost her friends and family and was born on this crazy world filled with monsters and people killing people to survive. She is hurt, she is traumatized and we can see this towards the end of the game.

    We don't deserve Ellie. She is strong, she is the embodiment of lost and suffering, and still she is a fun charismatic character in the story. She is seeking revenge, and it's valid, she was angry with Joel for something totally unnecessary, she lost him without being able to fix their issues. She feels committed to seek revenge because of this. It makes sense.

    Abby, her back story, it's so raw. Ellie takes away from her, basically everything doesn't she? Is her reason to kill Joel valid? YES! He did not only kill her Father, he took the chance of a cure away from humanity! Do we support Joel's decision on saving Ellie on the first game? We did, but just like Abby tells her Father, if it was her she would have liked him to sacrifice her to save humanity, and Ellie feels the same doesn't she?
    Abby is such a strong and interesting character, she has lost her father, the man she loves who got another girl pregnant and still she is there. She has a heart, she saves Lev and Yara and forgives Ellie's life, even after they almost kill each other and Ellie has taken everything away from her. I respect her 100%. I must say, I didn't want to like her, but I ended up really understanding her and her motives.

    The game itself it's to play, the story, its darkness, facing decision you must make (having to fight against Ellie had me tearing up) but this is the story this characters are living in. What's bad? The game can be exhausting. You feel like it's going to end and it keeps going. After playing with Ellie on the farm, you believe it's all over and the game just keep going.

    The gameplay, it's pretty much the same as the one on the first game, of course new abilities are added given character's size and strength. But overall you do feel familiarity and continuity with the first game.

    Overall, I loved this game, it's so worth playing, it's too long but you love it. I recommend it 100% and I am thankful with the amount of work Naughty Dog invested on this masterpiece.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics are beautiful and gameplay is similar to the first game with some additions, which I don’t think is a bad thing.
    But the story is so bad that it feels like an insult, relying on cheap shock value at several points. Introducing a new playable character and having her brutally murder Joel BEFORE giving players a chance to sympathize with her does not work, and then being forced to play as her for a large chunk of the game where you even have to beat the living crap out of Ellie is just a straight-up middlefinger to anyone who loved the first game.
    Of all the new characters introduced, Lev is probably the only one I liked, the rest of them were just there so Ellie and Abby wouldn’t be talking to themselves. At at least three points, companions on both sides even get suddenly killed off (cheap shock value) without any real feeling of loss.
    And the ending is just a joke, after murdering her way through Seattle and Santa Barbara, Ellie suddenly decides that revenge/killing is bad and lets Abby get away.
    Like I said, gameplay and graphics were good, but nothing groundbreaking. So the one point I have to give is for the ability to play with dogs trough out the game, because dogs are always good bois, except you Naughty Dog, shame on you.    … Expand

    Ellie ends up taking care of a Child after her girlfriend sleeps with a random man of African descent. She accepts the affair and just raises a dead beat mans child, and this is portrayed as a positive.
    And of course Joel is murdered before Ellie and himself can reach any reconciliation with regards to his actions at the finale of the original game, no attempt is made at compelling writing he's killed as shock value.

    There is more to hate, but you shouldn't plsy the game to find out. I refunded it the next day. Don't feed the trolls who claim all criticism of Tlou2 is homophobic, fans welcomed the Left behind DLC with open arms despite it establishing Ellie as a lesbian this game is a train wreck, a power fantasy of a director who decided he wanted to use Tlou as a springboard for his own game instead of crafting a sequel. Naughty Dog didn't even pay the dev team during the final months of development.
    This game is a disgrace to the original and its core theme if Fatherhood.    … Expand

    Years wainting for this game, in part for the promising huge game that developers told about...

    Well this game deserve a bad score, not just because of it's lame history, but it isn't nothing more than the same game with a little grafics improvement...

    Looks good but game play is the same as 7 years ago so big disapoitment. The important choices in the game are also zero so it felt more like I was watching a film tha playing a game.
    The biggest let done was however the the story..unbelievable nonsence....This is the 11th time I've tried to leave a review

    Beautiful looking game with dated gameplay and a terrible story. For a single player story based game that is the most important part. It's written like a badly done fan fiction that thinks it's telling a deep story when in reality it's just a mess.

    Fantastic gameplay and graphics, but let down by the story. Shallow shock value, plot holes, confusing timelines, and meaningless subversions drag down whatever Naughty Dog is trying to teach me.

So basically the story felt lackluster and all over the place. The idea between the story was good but everything executed in a bad way. New characters felt bland and hard to like. Combat felt clunky, camera does not follow the action most of the time, aim assist shows enemies through walls, bugs in combat and level design, crashes are not rare. The only points this game gets from me is from voice acting and looks of the environment.… Expand

    I cryd a few times because the Story is so deep and you feel with the Characters. You feel the pain and the madness of Elli. A another Point is absolutely fantastic you see the Story from different Sites and because of this you understand why these people do this Things and at the End the hole Story makes sense. For me its the best game I've ever seen before.

The games first flaw is the inconsistencies of the characters we know, and their development being widely already explored and established.This game dismantles all of that, changing Joel into a clumsy gullible fool, as opposed to who he was in the first game. Joel's inability to trust people and their motives, are what kept him and his loved ones alive, he lived as well as he would die by the guidelines he set for himself in order to survive in a hostile world where anybody is susceptible to malevolence. This is seen practiced in Joel's and Ellie's journey across the country. In the 2nd game, Joel is transformed into somebody who is virtually unrecognizable by allowing his trust to put him and his brother in immediate danger, and this wasn't subtle in the least, not only did he agreed to follow Abby into her lodge where there were other people with motives unbeknownst to him but he didn't even question himself nor the assailants intentions, he acted through a persona that goes against everything he is. Furthermore, it just gets comical to the effect of even giving them his name and where they live.

    Ellie's demeanor is dubbed down as a linear character with no nuance or growth, she has a single narrative, and that is *Kill Abby* nothing else matters, and you see this unfolds as she mows down dozens of men and women with no hesitation in order to get what she wants, this also goes against Ellie's principles that are apparent in the first game as well. The rest of the cast serve no relevance to what is going on around them, they could've easily still made the game without the excess of characters, and it wouldn't have affected the game's main story at all. Abby has to be the worst written character in all of gaming history, she shows no regrets, not once does she reflect on her actions, I've seen enough dateline and crime shows to see that Abby shows every characteristics of a sociopath, lacking any empathy for the people she's killed, there's no relatable trait that makes me care for her as a person because she doesn't have any, and forcing the player to play as her for the entirety of the 2nd half of the game is unforgivable. Number 2: The story.

    The story in this game feels so redundant because it never gives the player the ability to sit and fathom what is going on, so the experience and the impact the game tries to express through its shock value, feels empty and drained of any context of what its trying to convey to the player, the message is drowned out by forced plot points that excruciatingly drags on just to arrive at no conclusion, the only saving grace the game's story had to cling on was the climax, and that was snuffed out by having Ellie save Abby's life (Her father's murderer and a sociopath) just to then let her walk away. The game lost it's inner core of what it was supposed to be about: THE **** ZOMBIES, in this game they were just there as props to serve a mundane and pointless narrative in revenge.

    Number 3: The politics.

    If you go back far enough, you'll see these subtle hints being expressed by the actions and words Niel has used, for instance: Neil Druckmann was doing a conference where he was suggesting that multiple gaming developers were sexist and part of the "problem" by allegedly monopolizing women's sensuality for profit. That alone gives you the impression of what Niel Druckmann assumes about the gaming community and developers of being a bunch of sexist pigs who looks at women no more than sexual objects for our desires and profits. He hired a transgendered individual because of his/her sexual identity and not because of his/her experience and performance, that is in itself the ideal irony in all of this, because what he assumes about the gaming community, is true of what HE IS, looking at people only through the lens of dirty politics and not for who they are as individuals, what only matters is what group they belong to. Number 4:The Controversies.

    Neil and naughty dog with sony, used a company called "Muso" to find and strike independent gaming journalist on youtube, for even muttering any hints at the game's leaks, multiple channels were susceptible in losing their careers over something so damn trivial, because Neil can't stand having dissonance being discussed about his overly pretentious game. I'll end with this: People loved The last of us because of how easy it was to relate to Joel and Ellie's story, the zombies were there for a purpose, everything and everyone in the game served a purpose and a meaning, and all of it was served masterfully as a complimentary to Joel's and Ellie's development as characters and their story. None of that is potrayed in the last of us 2.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really don’t know how to describe what I’ve been threw in the 20 hours of gameplay. I don’t understand the meaning of the game. Joel’s death I guess nothing to Ellie because some how after pretty much killing all of her friends and now going to kill abby, Ellie some how feels bad for abby ( in which I was in raged about ) without the death of abby this game felt no meaning to me. I love when naughty dog try’s to make us feel bad when her friends die but we don’t. Every time one of her friends die I was cheering and rooting her to be next. I wish Jesse didn’t really die in the way he did. I think it was messed up in a way. He didn’t even get to know Dina was pregnant. Overall this game isn’t worth your time. When I finished the game I sat threw the credits wondering what just happened now the last 12 hours of the game. It’s sad to see this game end up this way . There’s going to be a 3rd one and it’s gonna be worse then the second one.… Expand

After the beauty storytelling of the part one, I can say that The Last of Us: Part II is severely lacking. The story is predictable, yet all over the place. It’s a revenge story with kill after needless kill, after needless kill. It basically numbs the player to the point where you don’t care about why you started this journey in the first place. The violence became exhausting even before the second half started. There are no new meaningful relationships in part two . The only relationship I cared about during the whole game was the one between Ellie and Joel. ( There’s a scene in this game that’s even better than the giraffe) I didn’t care about any of the new characters in this new story, because I was never really given a reason too. The positives are the graphics are beautiful and the music is amazing. I hope Naughty Dog can take this constructive criticism from the fans and move forward with their next game.… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    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]
