    The plot is pure trash, graphics and mechanics are beautiful but the story completely overshadow it. 1 just for the playability and some characters. Anyways this game is awful, play TLOU 1 instead

    What a garbage story, what a disrespectful way to kill a beloved character, what a way to push agendas using video games, compare the first LOU with this rubbish, yeah the play is assume but everything else is trash, if you are a fan of the first LOU, you are up for a disappointment and bad experiment when you finish this rubbish story.
    The game will be returned, what a waste of time.

    Just finished this game, and I am really not sure why people are defending it as much as they are. The characters have no depth. the story is a jumbled up mess that has you dying to care about the characters in the game, but never achieving that. The writing is terrible and it is easy to see that naughty dog has lost several key creative minds since they released part 1 of this game. IJust finished this game, and I am really not sure why people are defending it as much as they are. The characters have no depth. the story is a jumbled up mess that has you dying to care about the characters in the game, but never achieving that. The writing is terrible and it is easy to see that naughty dog has lost several key creative minds since they released part 1 of this game. I have no issues with any "agenda" they may have been pushing, but outside of Ellie and Joel there is not a single character other than "maybe" one that you meet extremely late in the game that you feel the slightest bit compelled to care about. The gameplay is pretty much identical to the first the graphics look awesome, but everything else is more than underwhelming. I am heartbroken they took such a fantastic story and spit right in its face along with all the fans that held the game near and dear coming into this one. I will give it a 1 because there were only a few bugs which is sustainable. Terribly upset this game exists.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “After everything we’ve been through, it all can’t be for nothing.” - Ellie to Joel, The Last of Us. Well, it sure felt like it after this game. Let’s get the obvious out of the way: Graphics were probably the best the PS4 has ever seen and will ever see. Nobody’s going to dispute that. But The Last of Us wasn’t about its stellar graphics when it came out in 2013. The game itself was tied together by the two characters of Joel and Ellie. Not only did those two make the game what it is today, the story itself couldn’t function properly if it WASN’T Joel and Ellie. And that’s the biggest problem with its sequel. The devs made it evidently clear they didn’t view Joel with the same amount of importance as we the fans did. And in little over two hours of gameplay, Joel and Tommy, two of the main character of our beloved first game, two of the most untrusting and hard-headed characters, casual walk into a stranger’s base, and give up their real names and where they LIVE without thinking, KNOWING that Joel is being hunted down, and that’s how he dies. Remember how Joel couldn’t come to trust Henry and Sam, and if Sam wasn’t there, he admits he would’ve KILLED Henry? That’s the type of character Joel is. Whoever Joel is in Part II, that’s not him, and the devs proved it to us they had no care with creating this game and making it about its characters. The best new character we meet, Jesse, gets killed off like he was nothing, and we’re supposed to find a way to sympathize with Abby? They expect us to WANT to play as Abby for over ten HOURS of the game? Yeah, no thanks. But, we have no choice. The game itself demonizes Joel and Ellie to the point where it literally asks you: “What, he didn’t deserve grrring his skull caved in with a golf club?” As well as trying to send they main message they revenge and violence is bad. The entire story felt lazy and uninspired, and had more cringe-worthy sex scenes and unnecessary attempts at decent character development with characters we don’t know nor care about then it did moments that felt like a game about characters that I enjoy. The best moments of this game came in flashbacks that took place right AFTER the events of the first game. Ah, what could’ve been, am I right? The actions all these characters make make little to no sense with who they were compared to the first game, and at the end, when Ellie lets Abby leave on the boat with Lev, after everyone she’s killed, after leaving Dina, and losing Jesse, Joel, and almost Tommy, she doesn’t even carry out her promise to Tommy of avenging Joel, and we, the player, are suppose feel satisfied?

    Gameplay and graphics are great, nobody is saying otherwise. Though there’s so much walking and taking and long, boring moments within this unsatisfying fan fiction of a story that takes an absolute **** on what the original game had created. They didn’t further explore the actual world of The Last of Us, they didn’t continue on with Ellie’s importance of being immune, or even discuss the idea of a vaccine. In the end, it was a worthless game, made for money and money only, and to have our beloved characters lose everything, with no choice or input from the player. A literal interactive movie, that forces us to watch out characters be anything but themselves for twenty-five hours. For a story driven game, this one didn’t hit home. Far from home, really. A disappointment to the fans who waited seven years to see what Naughty Dog could create. And after all the false-flagging and taking down of YouTube channels, videos, and Twitter pages? This is what Naughty Dog deserves. I’m sorry Ellie, but everything you’ve been through, it reall was all for nothing. Save your time, and tor money. 1/5 — 2/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра невероятно скучная и унылая. Геймплей остался в 2013 и практически никак не развился. Сюжет отвратительный, вся магия первой части игры испаряется просто в никуда, и в конце концов у нас тупое унылое овно про месть. Подачи сюжета рваная и огромное количество моментов происходит аля "вот это совпадение". Новые персонажи неинтересные и не получают какого-либо развития, большинство просто сливают под конец, и это вызывает только одну реакцию - п@хуй. Вторая часть игры за Эбби вообще бред сивой кобылы. И финал... Отвратительно.
    Плюс всё это обильно приправлено повесткой. Можете глянуть видос "The NaughtyDog Agenda" и поймете, почему это важно. Если конечно по английски шпрехаете.

    Yeah I recently played the DLC for part 1, what a shame. It is just a political correct story, play the first one and compare it with this part 2, play it, and don't take only my comment as absolute, but probably most of you are going to agree that it was made only from the idea everyone should be like new society demands, just no.

    This is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous and painful to even hear about tbh, left alone to actually play it, I mean even Ellie in the first game knew to stay vigilant and defensive in the first encounter with David. How dare Naught Dog just gave my old man Joel such an undignified death??
    This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I can still remember the goods days with the first game a few years ago back when I was in highschool and after all these year of waiting my man was killed by a witless woman in the first few hours into the game. No matter what the background story of that woman is, I simply DO NOT CARE ANYMORE. The only regret is I wasn't able to kill EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the hospital building back in the ending of the last game.
    Besides not even giving the option to avenge Joel is like John Wick lets the brat who killed his dog live after all the pursuit and battlescar he suffered which makes completely NO sense.

Showing the warm relationship between the two main protagonists that we hugely got attracted to them and having a lot of strong scenes and plot twists that will never be forgotten.
    Unlike Part 2 that lacks a lot of feelings and only focuses on one main thing that is revenge, and that doesn't attract me at all cause I am not even attracted to the new characters that they've projected in the game. They are forcing the player to interact with the new characters that I personally feel no sympathy for them nor for their stories.

    I was against the idea of making a sequel out of the game from the beginning, because I knew that TLOU is just so great and is just a pure masterpiece that I think no game can ever be compared to it.
    I am really disappointed.

    ---SPOILERS AHEAD---

    I think the main reason why this plot decision does not work very well with most players is that Abby killed Joel, a very likable and easily relatable character from the first installment, way too early into the game. We've seen some character development in the first part, got deeply attached to Joel and Ellie's chemestry and then the writer immediately devalues evetything that happened back then. We know it was done on purpose to show that there is so much more to the overall picture of this 'civil war' between 'the last of us' and that there are no winners.
    However, the way it was so forcefully presented so early into the game feels so wrong and unjustified that you don't want to accept this. And you probably won't since the character do not act like themselves. While Ellie has never been particularly bright she has never been this careless about decision making and Joel has never been this passive and reserved when talking to Ellie. How the hell are we supposed to believe they haven't talked about Joel's decision to save Ellie before we get to see it near the end of the game?
    When a writer or game developer introduces many new characters there are going to be problems. We've not seen the logical end of the first story, yet the author still tries to make us believe it did not matter trying to shove his view on the situation in general without proper understanding of what made the first one so likable. I think it was a huge mistakes to opt for something new without finishing the old in this case.

    TLOUS2 is the only console game I have requested a refund . I bought the original on the PS3, this sequel is a betrayal to the fans. I truly pity people who aren't able to refund their money. Graphics and sound do not make a game, Tetris and Chess are timeless regardless of the money put into it. If the game's not fun, it isn't "required" to give it a specific rating quota.

    What was that. Disappointed. I trully think it was going to be in the same genre as the first one. I really don't understand what happened in their heads when they all approved this. I wish they could redo it, with the first one's energy

    horrendous story line and indescribable amount of disappointment of the story. The graphics give it a 1 but you can't have a game with horrible plot. This is the equivalent of having a 3 course meal but the meals consist of a grain of rice for each. The story has no fulfillment. No satisfaction except that the game is over and I now will play the last of us remastered to bleach my eyes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay and the story was fine. The reason why I chose to give this game a bad review is because of Naughty Dog's false advertising to make us believe that Joel was alive in their trailer with the fake scene with him.
    Joel being killed off is hardly an issue to me. If anything, they could obviously not be accused of fan service because of what they did and we could sympathize with Ellie's anger throughout most of the game. However, Naughty Dog obviously chose to change the story last minute and chose to kill him off after releasing a trailer showing Joel being alive and joining Ellie, which explains the multiple delays.
    Instead, what we have is Naughty Dog deceiving us with false advertising from their trailers and Neil Druckmann had the audacity to mock our massive negative reviews for the game.
    Even though I've heard that spoilers were released, I've chosen to avoid them, like how spoilers are occasionally released for other games, movies, and TV shows.
    Naughty Dog should be investigated by the FDA and should be sued for false advertising because I'm sure there are many of us who have chosen to not see the spoilers and who are also upset that Naughty Dog sold us a lie.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For fans of the original, this is a joke and a absolute disappointment for all of those who have waited seven years for a great, and even better sequel. The story is mediocre and is a slap in the face with razor blades and lemon juice. Yes the gameplay and graphics are some of the best I have ever seen, but the story is so atrocious, that I had constantly found it challenging to continue my play through. My hands were as if they did not want me to pick up the controller to pick up where I left off. Spoiler warning from this point on: In the beginning we play as Joel for only 1-2 minutes and then his killed off in a terrible way. For the rest of the game we play as Ellie and Another woman whom I cannot name. These two women are suppose to be “strong female characters” or that is what it appears to me. I do not have a problem with playing as women, the problem is how they decided to make us play with the person who killed the protagonist of part one, who was loved by many because of how relatable and defined his personality was. That was all thrown out the window for part 2, because Joel is much more carefree and friendly. For anyone who as played part one, this is a different Joel compared to the cruel survivor of part one. The cool character that we once knew for his rampages and one man army fights, was easily taken down by just a small group, not to include that Tommy was there too. Half of the game we play as Jack M. Crazy Fist (the woman who killed Joel) I don’t what the writers were thinking when they made the choice to make US the player, play as this hated character. If they wanted to tell her story, then just do it in flashbacks that aren’t long. As for Ellie her story is getting revenge for her father figure, Joel. Revenge and a love story is what Ellie’s journey is. Normally I wouldn’t have a problem with choices like this, but the way they chose to show and tell these events were just awful. Back to Joel, he is just a “memory” in this sequel, as he is only seen in flashbacks from the moment of his death that happens in the beginning of the game. We the fans wanted a fully playable Joel with a combination of his old man strength, and raw beard power. If we could not play as Joel, then it would have been nice to at least have him as a companion with a later death with a purpose. There are many other factors to contribute to the downfall of such a beautiful masterpiece, such as the trailer that had many fans believe that Joel was alive and was with Ellie during her journey. My last point is the ending. Ellie’s entire journey was to kill Joel’s murder, and at the end she lets The ox woman live. Not to mention that Jack M. Fist bites Ellie’s fingers off and she doesn't finish her off. Ellie forgives for the cold killing of Joel, but doesn't forgive Joel for saving her, this made me want to grab a brick in real life and throw it through my TV. The only reason I don’t give it a zero, is because of the graphics, gameplay, and attention to detail. This game was a HUGE let down and disappointment.… Expand

    Incredible visuals and music can't make up for a complete lack of skill in writing. The story is unbelievable, full of plot holes, often depraved in failed attempts at adding shock factor and spits on the legacy of the original. A painful game to experience.

    It is further insult to injury that Naughty Dog used false advertising to sell the game to fans of the first.

Of course its sad that joel died but that makes you want to go after abby and kill her. The second part of the game all the way to the end is buns. You play as abby through the second part of the game almost all the way to the end. You find and kill jessie, wound tommy, wound dina, and almost kill ellie. The last part of the game you play as ellie to go kill abby. You find her and have a fight but end up letting her go. Thats what made me put this game as a 1/10. The person you were going to kill gets let off. Thats complete utter horse poop. #Justice For Joel. So stupid that ellie let abby get away. No wonder why critics could only talk about the first part of the game. So stupid. I'll be returning the game. Not worth the money.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. **STORY**

    TLOU fans loved the bond between Joel and Ellie and that's what many expected to see more in part 2 but instead Naughty Dog (ND) decided to kill the main character brutally. Within the first hour, the story lost its purpose and we play the rest of the game heartbroken to explore the crap. It took me a day to get back to the game and finish it.

    On one side ND injects anger against Abby, the person who killed Joel with no mercy, and later we play as her. I hated every single moment playing as Abby as she doesn't deserve the screen play. She popped into the game like a random ad.

    We played the whole game to take the revenge and after all the hassle we let Abby go. Why?! Where is Ellie's big mouth which always disrespected Joel and argued? ND completely ruined the story and I wish there was no part 2 for The Last of Us. The trailers were completely a bait to encourage everybody to buy the game and get themselves disappointed.

    **ROMANCE**
    Comming to the back and forth scenes. There was no point of Romantic scenes while the players are eager to kill Abby! I wasn't able to explore the environment, kill enemies and infected with the same energy when I played the first part. **GLITCHES AND BUGS**
    The AI, Diana and other followers, tend to block my path and sometimes kicks us out of cover. Moreover, my character glitched at a point when getting on the boat. I streamed it for 3 minutes on YouTube for the record (Riz_Mub).

    After waiting for 7 years, The Last Of Us fans were stabbed in the back and their emotions were completely ignored. Naughty Dog ruined the story. I regret pre-ordering my game and a special thanks to Anita Sarkaseen for ruining the game.    … Expand

    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.
