    The game has very nice graphics, but it is not the best, some bugs at certain points in the game, the gameplay of the characters is wonderful and far superior to the first game.
    but the story of the game is a complete disaster, with holes in gravitational scripts and the mischaracterization of some characters, that made me sad because we created high expectations because of the first game

For those who don't know, there has been a ton of controversy for TLOU2 having things like LGBTQ acceptance (which is a big no-no I guess?) and having realistic proportions for their characters (usually these people like immersion, but I guess not now that immersion means their fantasy girl is more athletic than their fat ass).

For those who don't know, there has been a ton of controversy for TLOU2 having things like LGBTQ acceptance (which is a big no-no I guess?) and having realistic proportions for their characters (usually these people like immersion, but I guess not now that immersion means their fantasy girl is more athletic than their fat ass). These idiots just can't shut their mouth whenever anything is "political", i.e. has a character who is anything but a straight white male with zero personality. They simply cannot fathom having a main character be something other than what they are: a boring guy with no personality and no motivation. It is simply disgusting to think that, at the point of me writing this, 6000 people were so affronted at the idea of diversity and acceptance for their fellow man that they felt the need to review bomb a masterful game. To the close-minded people who are also about to give a bad review for no reason other than "politics": I have a message for you. Go **** yourself. Go stick a lego up your microdick's urethra as you bawl your eyes out because your tiny mind cannot fathom diversity. Go back to your little basement and hop on **** Keep your hate on that **** useless website and stay there. Either learn to accept others or stay in your ad-hoc incel bunker for the rest of your life. I'm sure me and many others hope that you are able to choose the first option, but know that our expectations are so low for people like you that if you chose the second option we wouldn't even bat an eye. 9/10 game, 0/10 fanbase.

    All that gone. The story is horrific, like written by someone who has serious mental issues. It tries to be dark, but it is way beyond what is enjoyable to someone just wanting to play a game. I thought surely there must be some payoff at the end, some light, but no. What's worse, you are made so angry, but then have no ability to chose anything. The game has all been laid out, and you have to just accept it.

    It's like Naughty Dog spent all their time on the game play, graphic engine (which is stunningly beautiful) and audio; and then just outsourced the story writing to some third tier hack. It isn't intelligent, it isn't fun or endearing.

    I just don't know who they made this game for. I'm just depressed, if I didn't get the digital edition I would be getting a refund.

    I eagerly started playing TLOU2 upon release. The opening sucked me in, the chemistry, the writing, the visuals. All stunning. I was excited to see where these characters are going next and what conflicts they will face? Without saying spoilers, my expectations were subverted. The decisions naughty dog made in the last of us are admirable and brave, more studios should take bold choices with their art. Just because they are brave and admirable however, does mean they are good. TLOU breaks down the depth and resources of the actors and characters and turns them into 2 dimensional figures and they are, the saddest thing for any high calibre art, predictive. Once my expectations were "subverted", the rest of the game fell neatly into place, it was a dark, bleak and non redeeming mess. The writing staff and ND must have such a low opinion of it's player base that they feel this game is a necessary commentary on vengeance. It is not. There were themes of forgiveness, and the ending reinforced them, however they were drowned out by the loss of credible characters and the needless vengeance plot that i had to think very hard that they were there. If you loved the characters and story of TLOU 1, don't buy this game, some stories don't need conclusions.

    it's basically a hentai for people with low self esteem and thirst for blood, characters are ugly but the violence is actually the fan service of the game.
    If you are a lgbtq+ you will love the fornication (or if you are a psychopath, the killstreak LOL), if anything else, probably the multiplayer will make it count.
    I gave this high score because i think there´s no limit for escapism in entertaiment, and if you want to experiment how is to be a quite violent person, that´s where this game really shines. I can´t really blame a totally change in direction if that is what the creators wanted, but i can do is just boot up a colorful and warm japanese game and see happy characters again.

    It's clear the game was made with politics in mind and a lot of focus went there rather than polishing the game's quality but i am not going write about those.

    To keep it short i will just write some of the things that i didn't like at all.

    I didn't like the forced brutal moments of the game that where there just for the sake of having something shocking. I felt like that they exchanged characters value for the shocking moments. There were also some really awkward unnecessary private moments that cheapened the characters value even further.

    I didn't like that unlike the previous game, the drama is way too artificial. The characters just weren't convincing enough, both in writing and voice acting.
    Same with the story of the game. I was expecting to see a lot of moments with our beloved characters from the previous game, now that they have grown wiser with the time, unfortunately that wasn't the case (I can't expand more on this without spoiling things).

    About the sound i will say the soundtrack is not memorable but passable. Voice acting felt a little dry but that may have been due to the script being so stiff and artificial.

    As far as gameplay goes, it wasn't anything revolutionary or new, i will just say it did the job. i just wish there were fewer QTEs, in any case this is a story driven game, and that's where the game didn't deliver.

    Like Liana K said, Last of Us 2 feels like mud wrestling - vapid entertainment involving two angry women in the midst of all the mess and violence (I'm paraphrasing here).

    I had a major blast with this game from start until finish. The wait was worth it, and I find myself enjoying this game more than the first.

    To start, this game is not nearly as awful as everyone makes it out to be. Objectively. I've heard so much about it being "miserable" and "misery p*rn" but that simply isn't the case. The tone is darker than the first, and our heroine Ellie goes through so much hardship - yet there are plenty of reprieves from the trauma that it's more of the same from the first game.

    Next, the main villain. I do not have qualms about playing them; I don't have a problem with the events she makes happen within the game. I think it's very interesting to be able to play as villain and act on their motives- and it works well here.

    Mechanically this game is far above its predecessor, and improves on everything it did originally. The accessibility features have been very helpful for a disabled gamer like me - in particular, half-pushing the stick tires out my arthritic hands/thumbs, so being able to lower stealth detection and crawl invisibility has helped a lot, and neither of these things have hampered my ability to fully enjoy the horror of this game.

    Finally to mention, the game really is beautiful. It looks and feels nice and I can't help but be totally in love with it every second I'm playing. I cannot wait to platinum this and I cannot wait to see what may be in store in the future for this series, if anything.

    Thank you Neil and Naughty Dog for your tremendous work on this game - even through the crunch and bad press you've received for choices of plot in this fictional work. Thank you for bringing it to us, despite everything. Both me and my partner have thoroughly enjoyed this game at every turn, and it was well worth the wait.

    La muerte de Joel me parece una falta de respeto y que el juego acabe para una tercera entrega si o si, me parece aún peor, esto no es una serie de televisión. El juego vale 70 euros y hay que esperar años cómo para que te hagan algo así, no es justo, merecería un cierre, un cierre de etapa en la vida de Joel y Ellie.

    ----Tengo que aplaudir, solamente, por el hecho de incluir al colectivo LGBT, un aplauso a ND, pero nada más.----

    Por lo demás pongo un 3, por la increíble falta de respeto de un producto engañoso, donde lo único que se hace es sacar el dinero de los fans, yo no puedo gastarme 70 euros y ver como el juego termina con Ellie herida o medio muerta sin saber nada más, y un Joel con una muerte malísima y sin respeto.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game was impressive in regards to its visuals, sound design, voice acting, scenery and game play. What brought this game down was the story and more specifically its execution.

    It opts to go for the bleakest possible outcomes in every scenario. It glorifies its misery. It cynically and naively assumes the worst of humanity out of literally every single person left in the world.

    The game wants you to understand there are multiple sides to every story/person but in doing so, it forces that down your throat while almost ignoring all attempts at developing other parts of the story. An example of this is when Abby kills Joel towards the beginning of the game without (to the knowledge of the player) any reason. This immediately makes the player despise the character, regardless of what justifications they may have in the future. It makes the player completely unable to empathize with Abby getting her revenge. But it constantly tries to make her more likeable and more human in most of her scenes, while at the same time making Ellie and Joel look as bad as possible.

    Then there's that ending. Put simply, "revenge is bad" but only if you're Ellie. Whereas Abby gets hers and more.

    The entire game is just the player watching helplessly and annoyed as the characters make bad decision after bad decision that you don't want them to make. It removes player agency entirely,

    For a story-driven game, the story was a let-down.

    seriously ND, I never expected you to join EA's club. This game is a spit in the face of everyone who loved the first game. I will never give you my money ever again. And i'm also glad Crash Bandicoot isn't in your hands anymore. I've seen fanfics having better story than this garbage

    Graphics 9/10
    -/Animations and detail 8/10
    Story 1/10
    -/Screen writing 3/10
    -/Script 1/10
    -/World building 1/10
    Characters 1/10
    Gameplay 3/10

    Not worth $80 (CAD) or $60 (USD). Feels like a really long DLC with no content. Playing as Ellie was boring with no character ark or building with Dina, they are the same from beginning to end with no adversity or change. Playing as Abby was even more boring with 0 motivation from her actions and 0 character or world building.

    Not to mention the gameplay is copy and paste from the first game and it's repetitive with no interesting content to keep you entertained.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had such high hopes when they first announced this game. Having already played the first game, I was excited. Then I finally played it and it was a major disappointment to me. The one thing I must say I love about this game are the visuals, they are gorgeous, along with most of the sound design as well. The gameplay is still relatively the same, not merely as polished or improved as it should be. Most of the unique movement puzzles that were in the first game have been replaced by practically just the same exact thing. The AI is pretty bad to for the most part, half the time I could just walk right by the zombies of this games universe. Now the thing that made this game’s predecessor great was its story. That is completely absent from this game. This game takes a huge dump on all your old favorite characters, giving them stupid deaths, or just making them completely stupid and simply annoying. Most of the new characters as well, especially the golf girl, are bad as well. All though there were a few new characters that I enjoyed. The ending is one of the most unsatisfying things ever in a game in my opinion, the game repeatedly tries to teach you the cycle of violence and fails to do so in the most important part. I’m hugely disappointed and hate this game. I don’t recommend this game, unless you like Star Wars The Last Jedi, or Game Of Thrones Season 8. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do I begin with this disappointment? Hasn't 2020 kicked my ass enough? I got an early release of the game. Tried to avoid spoilers as much as could, did hear that Joel died, which didn't bother me to hear, but to see him get murdered in such an undignified way and how Ellie basically let this butch androgynous unlikable creature walk free, I just cannot express the injustice that was done to these characters. The weird sex scene was unnecessary and saw no point in it besides Neil Dickman or whatever the hell his name is, get off on his bizarre fetish and get "woke" points for being "progressive". At a certain point the graphics and scenery stopped being impressive and there were certain moments where I was bored and had no motivation to play especially as a character which I strongly disliked. Steroid Mary Sue was just not a good character. I felt forced to play as her but I couldn't give less of a crap about her or her story. Did not enjoy this game, it was a mess and cursed to begin with once the leaks and employee drama started to come out. Does not live up the beauty of the first game at all and it seems no beautiful story and characters are saved from the destructive clutches of progressivism. Expand

The overall mood is angsty, depressed and anxious in a cringe way. If it were a movie it would be one of those straight to DVD low-budget teen flicks.

    A game that improves over all aspects on the first entry and that focuses on character growth rather then the opposite. This is a game for those people who want developers to challenge you, be ready to be surprised!

    To me this game tries something that other games rarely do:

    -they challenge your views, both on what a game can do and what it can be.

    TLOUS2 is an amazing game:

    - it improves over all the good aspects of the first game.
    - Story telling is very well done, character design is superb.
    - The STRONG point of the first game was in the Character design and growth which is the main focus of this game, not in the main "plot line" of the game. Naughty dog did not reinvent story telling with TLOUS (since this kind of plots have been all over the place in post apocalyptic literature, it goes to show you how ignorant the majority of this reviewers are).
    -They designed a story that follows the natural progress and logical flow starting from the very last scene of the LAST OF US.
    - Its a game that doesn't try to please you, or go out of its way to give you what you want (go to Disney for that).

    If you want a game to please you and that you know what to expect from it then please buy Call of Duty and Assassin's creed, I don't hear you complaining about those games being always the same and having the most deviating stories. Gameplay virtually hasn't changed for the last 10 years.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Trying to extend the story of The Last of Us in a meaningful way was always going to be an uphill battle. What’s so frustrating about Part 2 is that the game seems to have all the pieces necessary to do just that. But those pieces end up getting lost as the game also tries to tell an entirely new story, one that tries to expand the Last of Us world into a generalized setting for an anthology of loosely connected stories. The end result never comes together in a satisfying way.

    That doesn’t take away from the many enjoyable, memorable, and even emotional moments as Part 2’s barrels from promising start to messy conclusion. But it also serves as a marked comedown from the quiet, directed, self-contained confidence of the first game.

    I don’t regret the time I spent back in the world of The Last of Us. But a big part of me was left wondering if its creators just should have left well enough alone.

    Postive things
    - The gameplay feels so close with part 1 that makes you feel like you were in home
    - You're gonna love Ellie's flashbacks.
    - Ellie and Dina have a natural relationship that does not feel forced at all.
    Neutral things
    - Despite the fact that it's a PS4 game the graphics feels so PS3, Do´not misunderstand me, they look great but ND could improve more in some facial actions like Dina, sometimes feels kind of computarized compared to Ellie.
    - Sometimes the exploration takes so much time just for nothing that makes it boring, kind of Death Stranding
    Negative Things:
    - Flashbacks inside flashbacks
    - The History has a bad writting, the circle of violence became a joke
    - Abby is not what you though but her character feels forced in the history

    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.
