    I have no problem with the graphics, gameplay its amazing. But the story is so bad I couldn't get into it I honestly had to grind just to finish it. I stayed away from leaks so I was so shocked the whole game like disbelief how long and boring like a bad fan fiction. How they treated ellie & joel I don't count it as cannon.

    As a great fan of the 1st TLoU game I was dramatically frustrated with characterless plot full of cliché (The walking Dead, GoT etc.), wanton acts of aggression (irrational even for TLoU universe) and for unforgivable and irremissible betrayal of fans' expectations and feelings.
    I feel shattered and devastated.
    As for me, TLoU is over after beloved character's execution!!! Graphics -

    Game-play - 4/10 The same mechanics and duct tapes from the previous game.

    There is a scene inside the game where Ellie give a memorable speech about the internal strength and resiliance she has. This spoke to me. I come from a family of polish refugees. I then later found out the game wont let you shoot anything semetic related. This is a disgusting method and subtracts from her previous statement.

We beat it in just under 26 hours because toward the middle we were just rushing and trying to get through this thing because we were super bored.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us is my favorite game of all time. This game on the other hand is awful. It's hard to even put into words how disappointing it is. I wanted to like it so much. I constantly watched all the trailers for month's, year's. I was in shock and confusion over what happens in the first act and it just get's progressively worse as it goes on. The best parts of The Last of Us are the little happy, heart warming moments, looking at the capital building at sun rise, the car ride to Pittsburgh, Ellie's jokes, Henry and Joel talking about Harley's, the moment's from left Behind, the Halloween shop, brick throwing contest, the merry-go-round, the arcade, playing Jak X, playing the turning, the water gun fight dancing on the display case, Riley and Ellie's Kiss, and the most important of all of them the giraffe scene. There are none of those moment's in this game. Everything in this game is miserable, uninteresting, messy, and boring. The very few good moment's are immediately halted. The visuals were not that impressive, I think Uncharted 4 looked a million times better. The Gameplay felt sluggish and not responsive, and probably one of the biggest let downs is that the soundtrack sucked, It felt so generic and boring. It felt like they were trying to recapture the music of the first game but it just sucked. The story was horrible both from what actually happens in the game and also from a writing and storytelling perspective. This may be hard to believe but I played the whole game in one go. It took me 23 hours to finish. I did not sleep because I knew I wouldn't be able to. It is so miserable that I wanted to get to the end to hopefully get some sort of closure and a tiny bit of happiness but nope. I get these flash Images of the ending in my head and it makes want to throw up, thats how bad it is. Weather it was intentional or not, I don't care. I really really really wanted to love this game. I love everything that The Last of Us and Naughty Dog represented, but this was spirit killing. Ellie has been my hero for seven years, she would always give me hope. but in this game, she let me down so much, everyone let me down. The Last of Us will always have a special place in my heart, but as far as I am concerned, this game does not exist. For me The Last of Us Ends with Ellie saying okay. Expand

Despite what many critics, gatekeepers, and general “rule makers” of video games would say this review is not written out of a place of spite or anger. Purely disappointment. From a gameplay viewpoint, many areas of the game play unbelievably slow and I found myself more often frustrated and bored than any other feeling. Now to what everyone is up in arms about. The story. The dialogue alone makes one wonder how this storyline made it past multiple levels of approval. The story seems to follow the ever popular trend of the entertainment industry of “subverting expectations” which usually entails moments crafted purely to provoke emotion of the consumer. Rarely are these moments provoking in a positive connotation. It’s extremely telling when youtube comments and posts on social media are more thought provoking and lay the groundwork for an exponentially better story arc than what played out in the multiple hours of game play found in The Last of Us 2. This video game pales in comparison to the first iteration and I advise against anyone wasting their money and especially time on this dumpster fire. I suppose the expression “the sequel is always worse” hits it mark once again. Ill give this game a 1/10 purely for that fact that it ran. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While the game is certainly an eye candy and it's music is top notch that does not save the game from its storytelling directions. Decisions like Joel's death, the introduction and focus on a brand new character (Abby) with very little backstory and depth and the many obvious politically influenced implementations all result into what might be my least favourite game of ALL TIME...and i have some very low standards.
    #GodBlessTheLeaker
    All the Negatives(+some extra)
    -Repetitive gameplay
    -Typical Revenge story
    -''Brand new combat'' consists of dodge, throw and strike
    -The game is a lot more linear the the first
    -The stealthy approach in any situation is undertaken by the fact that you can clear a wave of 20 enemies by shoot an' run.
    -The antagonist is an underdeveloped character with a strong motive, but that is just it...there is nothing else about her.
    -Sonic Level Fanfiction writing
    -Zombie encounters are none existent
    -Story Telling plot holes
    -The game spits at you AND Joel's face

    Positive Points (+some extra)
    -Eye Candy
    -Beautiful Music
    -Flashback set pieces are enjoyable
    The 1 new type of zombie they added is a pretty cool addition (too bad there wasn't more....)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay is decent it has some interesting stuff yet it doesn’t feel like you are exploring and tends to get boring in a point, the story overall is just bad, the way they killed joel was simply infamy, taking out such a legendary character in a dirty way, they didn’t make any justice for the character, also abby which is one of the playable characters is completely un relatable like you don’t even know why you should play with it, the lgbtiq thing is okay however it feels a little forced but mostly because of the needs of the company to let everyone know how inclusive they are even though no one gives a F about it, but it doesn’t affect negatively the story, however its not a big deal though the real problem its the main plot and the way they told that story and how they ended it. The ending its just an insult, and literally its like spitting in every single thing that the franchise did good with the original story, its just outrageous. I don’t recommend you buying this game at all, don't waste your money and time on this, its not worth it better save up that money for college ps5 xbox series x or other games but not this trash.

How could ND do something like this to this game? I'm so mad. It's not even the amount of violence that puts me off this game, it's the actual writing. Jesus wtf did they think? And on top of that they used false advertisement to make people believe that they were going to go on another adventure with Ellie and Joel where in reality every trailer involving Joel was fake. I'm lost for words really. I hope they pay for it somehow.

    but man if you want a good story with believable characters just play a game called last of us 1, it is pretty sick.i cant see how tlou2 should be worthwhile FOR ANYONE when there are literally hundreds of better games out there. if you really want to continue ellies and joels story it saddens me to say but you cant. all you get from part 2 is some crippling depression without any conclusion or overall theme, which made the first one so good.

    I am a huge fan of the Last of Us original game, however the story in this game is very poor and the characters are strange and inconsistent. Visuals are amazing but the core of the game, which is the story, is a weak and uninspiring effort with a sub par ending. I paid for it and I regret it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve been seeing online that this game has been getting review bombed, leading to people not taking the reviews seriously. So as a person who has actually played the game I wanted to give my own take. And that is , is this game shouldn’t exist....period.

    *I pre-ordered and got the game early*

    So where do I begin.

    I think it is purely insulting to say the least that you have Joel in a lot of the advertisements leading up to the game but you use him for what seems to be 30-40 minutes. Yes you heard me right. A character you spent hours even days playing in the first game , is killed off within the first two hours of the game. To put that into context , within the first four hours of the game I had played with Ellie’s guitar more than Joel. Let’s not mention the fact that Joel is killed off in the most “Weak” Way possible. A character who single handedly took down buildings of dozens of men in the previous game. Is mortality wounded within 5 seconds Without a chance to fight back ... A character who deserved a death like Arthur Morgan or John Marston is killed within five minutes. Joel was a bad guy at times in the last of us 1.
    He chose Ellie over a cure but that doesn’t mean you go off and kill him so quickly....brutally and without any dignity. CHRIST you know it’s bad if the main creator of the game Neil Druckmann is one of the bad guys and SPITS on Joel saying “Burn in Hell pendejo”

    His death seems even more unjustified when you play as a younger Ellie in flashbacks and you see him actually putting in effort , actually acting like a father figure. But no He is killed off so brutally and almost synonymously , his death was like long time fans of the game where also getting hit in the head by a golf club by the creators.

    From this point on the game gets almost immediately ...depressing? ....like yes I wanted to go and kill Joel’s killers but at the same time ...Ellie wasn’t acting the same, she was a lot more aggressive and rightfully so and she didn’t even seem remotely similar to the girl I met or the girl I see in the flashbacks.

    I played the game for a few more hours until the ending itself was spoiled for me. Normally it wouldn’t but after I heard what Ellie does I REFUSE to play the rest of the game for now. It left me with such a sour taste when I watched the end fight scene.

    The scene itself looks boring.. it’s just two of them in a lake going in circles.
    Abby ends up biting Ellie’s fingers off resulting in her not being able to play the guitar again I believe ? You know that feature that was put I so we could bond and remember Joel ...gone.
    And then Ellie let’s her go and cries in a lake ...by herself. It’s a depressing and unjustified ending to a sequel we didn’t want or need. I could go on and on for why this game totally sucks , people bring up Joel’s death and the sex scene
    The scene itself didn’t bother me when I watched it , but I believe the character who is f**king Abby is the creator of the game ? If so , did he Mocap himself doing that with the actress ?
    That’s just wrong on so many cases. Bet he created that scene purposely haha

    Now why am I not giving this game a completely Negative score even though it deserves it , well because .the game is good looking , at points it looked like concept art , the really highly detailed stuff. . The world itself is just amazing , an upgrade from the first one but it sucks to that because the could have done so so so much more with it but they just don’t. And that’s it , I was gonna write more about this game but just like the thing in question at the start I had a lot of passion but near the end I just got bored and gave up because , it’s all been done and said before. Just like this basic revenge story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Эту игру надо было назвать не часть 2 "Как плюнуть в лицам фанатов серии".Буду говорить только про сюжет.
    Первые 30 минут игры мне понравились даже не смотря на ЛГБТ повестку.

    Что мы имеем нашего любимого главного героя по первой части убивают с невероятной жестокостью.Какой то недомужик по имени Эбби забивают клюшкой как какого то насильника и убийцу детей.И тут становиться понятно что уже не будет этого дуэта.Нил Дракман ха я вас обманул вы что хотели в продолжении увидеть их двоих вместе? Ха да пошли вы на х*й!.И просто плюет в лицо фанатом.Но дальше еще больше...
    После того как Элли убивает всех друзей этого недомужика нас заставляют играть за нее.И как бы Нил пытается показать тех зверей и в частности Эбби что они хорошие.Вот посмотрите они живут как все защищаются как все спасают незнакомцев которые им помогли.Но вот только существует одна проблема.Вы этому просто не верите!Хорошие люди не идут на другой конец света чтобы забить человека стадом и мучат его до смерти на глазах у человека который ему дорог!!И даже когда Элли просит не убивать его Эбби все равно это делает.После такого ты уже не можешь сопереживать этому герою каким бы его не показывали.Кто то может сказать Джоел убил цикад и врача который мог спасти всех.Да Джоел тоже не ангел но между ними есть огромные отличия.Во первых Джоел убивал цикад не ради мести и не ради своего удовлетворения а для того чтоб спасти близкого для себя человека.Элли она стала ему как дочь.И прошу заметить что ни у Джойла ни Элли не спросили хотят они пожертвовать жизнью Элли или нет.Цикады сами так решили и им плевать хотелось на жизни этой девочки.За что они и были наказаны Джойлом.Но прошу заметить он не пытал их не издевался над ними как какой то больной психопат он только хотел спасти Элли.Почти все люди об этом думали кто проходил первую часть и так же как и я проникся к этим героям.А нам просто наложили в душу.Иногда в игре показывают флешбэки от которых ты радуешься как малолетняя девочка.Но этого мало мы хотели гораздо большего.Развития отношений и новой истории.Что мы увидели?Плевок в душу фанатов первой части.Жестокое убийство главного героя а соответственно никакого старого дуэта и навязывание истории никому ненужного недомужика.Концовка с выводом к чему приводит месть.И последнее что хотелось сказать последний ролик... Как фаната первой части я не мог сдержать слез но правда эта все заслуги первой части а не этой.Мое мнение фанатам первой части лучше вообще не играть в нее ни в коем случае.Вам нагадят в рот и добавят блевоты когда вы все проглотите.Это серия игры для меня уже мертва и я ни в коем случае не буду играть в продолжения если оно вообще будет.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only thing i liked from this game (Is this a game, tho?) is the graphics and atmosphere. That's it. The gameplay was just the same and there's nothing really innovative in this game. Only some great evolutions in combat, i would say. The gun fight is a bit clunky for me. And i found several bugs in my 25 hours of playing, which is really annoying.

    And this game's selling point is THE STORY... IT'S BY FAR THE WORST STORY I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED IN GAMING HISTORY. It's like a big middle finger to the fans of the first game! If you messed up your story in a story-driven game, the entire game will be ruined, no matter how good the gameplay and graphic is. And it's just your basic fan-fiction level of writing. The ending is very unfulfilling and terrible. Fails so hard because Neil really trying too hard to make this game different than the first game.

    And there's no likeable character here. Almost every character in this game is weak! Joel being unaware, Ellie portrayed as a cruel girl overtime, Tommy being inconsistent, Lev's back-story being unnecessary and so much more. Jesse might be the only character that i could say, decent. Lack of logic in decision making, Character's inconsistencies, forced agenda, weak build-up in their storytelling really burden this entire game.

    7 years waiting, for this? I really made a new account just to express my anger after played this game. DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!

    This review is only based on the first couple of hours of the game as I have stopped playning and likely will not continue. Like everyone else I have been looking forward to this game for at long time as i completely loved the first one. The Last of us 1 is proberly the best game i have ever played and it is not likely to be topped. Leading up to the release of part 2 I have avoided spoilers to the best of my ability and though I heard rumors of a lacking story and charcters i dismissed them and wanted to try the game witha open mind. At first i was so excited to be back in the world with charcters i missed and the stunning world naughty dog have built. But all my excitement quickly faded and i was left with nothing but grief and despair when Joel died in the starting moments of the game. Why oh why did you make that choice Naughty dog? Up untill i saw the tombstone i was still hoping that he somehow pulled through, hoping for a coma or anything that would save him but alas when the tombstone appeared all hope faded. I was left empty and with no purpose to continue. I played till i got inside Seattle but had no enjoyment or want to continue the story, I have now learned the ending of the story and now i have even less desire to finish the game. This game should have been so good even if you just did more like the first one maybe not a 10/10 but certently not a 3,6. Rest in peace Joel.

    The gameplay is very so slightly improved from the previous game, but it’s not what I expected after 7 years of improvement from the previous game. It feels closer to “Last of Us 1.5” unfortunately. Maybe I am too harsh but there

    The gameplay is very so slightly improved from the previous game, but it’s not what I expected after 7 years of improvement from the previous game. It feels closer to “Last of Us 1.5” unfortunately.
    Maybe I am too harsh but there is a very high bar for Naughty Dog games, and this fell short by a long way.

    The characters felt so different that the characters I thought I knew, and I thought I loved, but turns out they are not who I thought they were after-all. The story is too dark and full of plot holes, I wanted to stop playing several times because I didn't want to continue, I didn't like what was happening. Naughty Dog made this into a game it didn’t need to be. It’s not the game fans were expecting, or one that fans wanted.

    I really wanted to love this game, but now I wish I had read the spoilers, I would have lowered my expectations and entered with a lot of caution. I feel my love for Naughty Dog and the Last of Us franchise has gone from Hero to near Zero.

    I hope they create a Last of Us 3, but pretend that this game never happened.
    It feels like this game is a statement from Naughty Dog. “The Last of Us (Naughty Dog)”.

    The one good aspect of the game, graphically it looks above average, sadly everything else is below.

    The last thing I will say, is I am worried at how there can be such a huge difference between “Official reviews” versus real players. I did take a sneak peek at the Metacritic before playing the game to see the fantastic 96/100 from official reviewers. This increased my expectations. So when I finally played it and was shocked at the player experience. How can I be having such a bad time and really not enjoying the game, when the critics who loved playing this and gave it such great phrase? How can there be such a disconnect between review and consumer...

    Sadly I really cannot recommend this game. It's a total disappointment and not worth your time. Just watch a playthrough online and save your money. I wish I had.

One of the worst things about this game is how it forces new characters on you, characters that you don’t care about and the game tries to make you like them but the way they were written is so terrible that you still don’t care about them by the end of the game. It also pushes an agenda on you and when I say it pushes an agenda I mean to say that it SHOVES an agenda on you ! There is nothing subtle about this. The game was pandering to a certain audience, so much so that they kind of forgot to write a good story with good characters. The story is awful, the gameplay is decent, the graphics are stellar and the characters SUCK !

    If the game was a person it would be a good-looking girl with a terrible personality.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The amount of soul crushing disappointment that I feel is beyond words. For me, TLOU has so much emotional value, it has been such an intense part of my life for years. It managed to get me to care about characters that had very little screen time or dialogue. How this sequel managed to not only lose all of that, but got me to feel either dislike or nothing at all, is something I couldn't explain.

    Very flat, repetitive dialogue. Ellie has no resemblance of who she was, or who she used to be. She is not the snarky, smart-ass we grew to love in the first game, and even though she has changed, I feel that part of her would never truly go away. The most emotion she even emits is during the dreaded scene. I feel like I don't know who this is. This isn't Ellie. You can call her that and claim that it's her, but that's not her.

    As an LGBT person I feel used. The context of Joel's death was "if only Ellie hadn't been having sex with Dina, Joel may still be alive". That rubs me the wrong way. How dare you. You can sit there and tell me that the only people who dislike this game are homophobes, but I've seen what you've done. Absolutely unacceptable.

    As a trans person, I feel utterly disrespected. Trans villains are fine & dandy, but the villain you have crafted we are given no reason to empathize or sympathize with them, understand their motives until AFTER they have killed an already well-established, beloved, well rounded character. We spend the game playing the person we now hate, being forced to relate to her /now/.

    Terrible.
    Doing this in the first few hours was one of the most risky decisions possible, and it is one that I will keep in mind as what NOT to do when writing stories in the future. You bank off of our trauma and call it progressive. Call us wrong for not enjoying what you have force fed down our throats.

    I really did at one point believe that Neil Druckmann meant what he said, that TLOU was about the story of Joel and Ellie. They were a unit and you broke them up. For what? What happened? I don't even want to know anymore. I'm tired of everything I love being **** with. Lesson learned! Never get emotionally attached to anything because the creators will make you feel like a horrible person for doing so.

    I was excited to see Ellie in a same-sex relationship, but now it only leaves a sad, bitter taste in my mouth. You want people to hate your game? You don't want to have fun? Fine. I don't have to acknowledge the existence of this game anymore than I have, because it honestly doesn't deserve it.

    You want representation? Hire LGBT/POC/Black staff. Listen to their voices. Don't ever do anything like this. No amount of good graphics or improved game mechanics or accessibility options, as good as they may be, will ever cover this up or somehow make it less hurtful or harmful. What a terrible time to release a game such as this during Pride month.

    You killed my fictional father and spat on his face and ended not only his life, but any kind of **** that I was going to give about this series.

    I say goodbye, knowing that I will never look back on anything other than the first and only game.

    The story completely throws away most of the themes, ideas, character motivations/relationships of the first game for a crappy revenge plot that is stretched out and painful to get through some encounters are fun the gameplay although repetitive and not really improved from the ps3 game is still pretty well done with some of the best animations ever and obviously the game looks nice thoughThe story completely throws away most of the themes, ideas, character motivations/relationships of the first game for a crappy revenge plot that is stretched out and painful to get through some encounters are fun the gameplay although repetitive and not really improved from the ps3 game is still pretty well done with some of the best animations ever and obviously the game looks nice though being very linear this does not really matter I thought the first games graphics were enough. if this was a standalone game unrelated to the first i would rate it a 5/10 but as a sequel to the first which was carried by its emotional story i see why fans of the first are upset as the story to The last of us part 2 is utter garbage! I have no problem with Ellie being lesbian (OBVIOUSLY - it was established in the first game and i enjoyed the dlc) but Naughty dog clearly has an agenda... there are bigots, a weird cult that dont like trans people and other than that adds nothing to the story (apparently 30+ years into a tragic apocalypse people are still obsessed with gender and sexuality) The male characters are useless, killed, crippled or pushed aside.
    overall: 1/10 its a sequel to a heavily story based game ( which could have easily worked as an interactive movie but shoehorns in boring, repetitive combat and awful platforming ) and this game completely **** on the characters and themes of the first for a preachy revenge plot that dosent even END! Dont buy if you even appreciated the first Game!

    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]
