    Awful and a waste of money, worst narrative I've ever seen from a AAA, the worst thing is the disappointment of waiting that long for this, by far one of the worst games of the generation.

    After waiting years for this game, it was the biggest disappointment ever for me. I played it twice now, with several months between. I really wanted to like it and thought maybe the second time I can feel the story better and will not be that distracted from all the changes and political aftermath. But sorry no!

    Pro: - nice graphics Contra: - Story completly lost its spirit - Ellie is

I really wanted to like it and thought maybe the second time I can feel the story better and will not be that distracted from all the changes and political aftermath. But sorry no!

    Pro:
    - nice graphics

    Contra:
    - Story completly lost its spirit
    - Ellie is out for rage, but her face and speaking give me a vibe of Valium... there is nothing except some rare moments - the gameplay is really tiring. You want to open a drawer and get that stuff inside... but no, first she has to put her gun down, then she needs to step back, so you can see inside the drawer... and yeah then you can finally grab that stuff - the gitar moments and control feel like they were added afterwards - so much more little pieces, which make the game overall inconsistent

    Additional:
    I feel like the press gave this game the best ratings in advance just because of the name and studio.
    And it feels like every real rating, is pushed away from the press with the comment, oh they didn't like the LGBT content, they didn't like it politacally... F*** no, I dont care about this. This game was expected to be the best of the best, but IT IS NOT and the so impartial press pushs the disappointment of this game back, and make the few political reviews feel like they are the only that matters.
    For me it was a waste of time and money and if they will ever make a Part 3, I am not in the line of fans and buyers. Thats it for me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us is about Joel Miller and Ellie Williams.Take those out of the games - it is not The Last of Us anymore.

    I loved TLOU because of Joel and I was hope to play by him again in part ll But instead of that I play with Abby who killed him.

    And the idea of SJW was push into game more than the original story.

    I hope from naughty dog to set the priority for the original story of the game before anything else.

    They ruined this game. It’s very far from the tlou1. Focused on political correctness. LGBT agenda. If you enjoyed first game do yourself a favor and avoid it. Not worth the money. Story is very weak.

    al juego lo arruino la ideología política que tiene como mensaje además de personajes totalmente distinto y arruinados comparado con la primera entrega. destrozaron joel y ellie. es lamentable lo que hicieron, nunca debieron sacar una secuela o en caso contrario hacerlo con nuevos personajes en fin.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a mess, it wants to be unpredictable at the cost of stupid acts. The gameplay and graphics are decent, but the narrative is what totally destroys the experience, from the prologue you can see how they dispose of one of the important characters from the first game in such a horrendous way and the supposed lesson Ellie learns in the ending doesn't make any sense. This game appeals to the morbid to attract attention, but without a good story it becomes tiresome. The franchise did not deserve this type of treatment. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра в мире зомби апокалипсиса и жанре survival-horror, звучит неплохо да? А вот и нет, почему практически в каждой игре про зомби люди не используют защиту от укуса? И вроде бы гг ещё в прошлой части получила укус за руку, т.к. руки - это основной инструмент ведения ближнего боя, так может стоит перевязать их или ещё что-нибудь придумать? Не, зомби здесь не представляют опасности, люди ходят в легкой одежде и не задумываются о будущем.
    Наверное главный противник людей в зомби апокалипсисе является человек, но и здесь игра умудряется разрушить всю атмосферу, когда в патруль отправляют беременную мадам. И ты уже не веришь в опасность происходящего. Чего? Враги там стреляют по нам? Да патроны просто холостые, ничего страшного, просто не смотрите на них и они не будут отрисовываться.

    Сюжет банален и прост как день, но с такими логическими дырами, что в жанр игры хочется добавить "комедия". Эбби, которая всем так нравится по сути является той ещё крысой, предавая своб общину ради... чего? Девочки, которая считает себя мальчиком. Вот это ПОВОРОТ, вот это сюжетищееее.
    Концов вызывает отвращение и непонимание. Элли, которая решила тайком слинять и завершить свой поход, да бы наконец-то быть спокойной и оставить прошлое в прошлом, оказывается пойманной Диной, которая уже родила и вместе с Элли растит ребёнка. И фактически ставит бросает Элли, ведь именно так и поступают близкие и любящие люди. Поддержать человека, прикрыть и остановить в нужный момент, как это сделала Лев для Эбби, нееет, а зачем, гораздо проще просто кинуть значимого для тебя человека и уйти в закат.

    Gameplay und Grafik sind grandios. Ich habe selten das mich in den Punkten so gecatcht hat wie dieses. Trotzdem ist das nicht alles was ein Spiel ausmacht.
    Es ist einzig und allein auf die Autoren zurückzuführen, dass das Game nicht zu dem BESTEN Game allerzeiten wurde. Da jeder Charakter von Grund auf verändert wurde. Wie soll man Sympathie für jemanden entwickeln den man vorher abgrundtief gehasst hat? Außerdem wurde dem transgender Thema viel zu stark thematisiert und Bedeutung zugesprochen.
    Es hätte so toll werden können, stattdessen wurde es in meine Augen zum Paradebeispiel dafür, wie man die Qualität des Spielerlebnisses von perfekt auf miserable herunterwirtschaftet.

    The storyline is one of the worst I have yet to encounter in a game. Since "The Last of Us" is such a story-driven franchise, replete with numerous cutscenes, for this game to fail on this front drags down the enjoyability and quality drastically. The awfulness of the storyline is further heightened by the stark contrast to the original "Last of Us" with its engaging story.

    So, I would give the gaming experience itself a 4/10.

    However, taking into consideration the highly deceptive - and I would argue, even criminal - marketing and censorship surrounding the game prior to its release, not to mention the game's ugly and gratuitously manipulative political agenda, I really can't give this piece of turd more than a 1/10. What a disaster.

    They no longer resemble the people you fell in love with. Characters are stupid, nothing like they were before. The new creators do everything in their power to get you to hate the man we all fell in

    The new creators do everything in their power to get you to hate the man we all fell in love with. Joel was a hero to us all. He was smart, cautious, highly efficient and was willing to sacrifice himself for others.

    This new Joel is weak, stupid, and naive. They want you to hate him.

    They make him out to be a monster because he is a man, and being a man is wrong. They want you to believe a man who protects a women is wrong. Even being a woman is wrong

    When using the characters you love, the creators punish you for it. You won't find ammo, health is scarce, firearms are butter knife like. They are stupid and don't live up to the characters they were before.

    Now take this same recipe, and apply it to every character in the game.

    When using their woke character. You'll be almost invincible. Weapons, health and everything is plentiful. You're strong, move at super speed and everything seems easy. That's the point. They want you to believe their woke character is better, stronger and faster. To fit their woke agenda. But the truth is. If there is anyone in this world you would have wished dead. It would be this woke character that you are forced to use for the majority of the game.
    You'll end up scarred playing this game.

    Remember the story? Well now there isn't one. It's **** At every point of the game, they continue to push this woke agenda on you, and try to make you feel bad for not opting in.

    You don't have a choice either.

    Be careful of all the fake reviews giving it 5 stars. The company likes to pay critics and automated bots to review their game, to get you to fall for their woke narrative, and their **** game.

    Save your money. This game is **** You wouldn't even wipe your arse with this game.

    Only good thing about the game is the graphics. Gameplay is clunky, story is infuriating, and the most loved characters from the first game turned into some of the worst character development I’ve ever seen. Ending makes no sense and we are given no explanation for why it happened. They could’ve made a masterpiece with the momentum they had from the first game but they blew it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a big fan of the first game, but this one, although it has technical quality, is far from the first one. Neil Druckman filled the game with left bias policies, destroyed the character of Ellen we know from the first game, in that she was cool, persistent, faithful, loyal and had a focus on her goal, in this game right at the beginning shows an Ellen spoiled, with no respect for others, because although the bartender was wrong to judge her, he tries to redeem himself by even making a snack, which she calls him precociousituiche. She gets freaky and doesn't want to talk to Joel who just treats her like a daughter. At all times there is a force of the bar, Joel appears to be a childish and foolish ingenuity, his death occurred in a light and banal way, it could have occurred but respecting the player's intelligence. Naughty Dog Stop this SJW and focus on gameplay again. PS: Neil Druckman claims to be a champion of women but he didn't think twice about taking the position that belonged to Amy Hennig in Uncharted.

The author wants us to sympathyze the enemy, showing a "grey moral". But it just makes the game even more repulsive. Not to mention the lack of logic amid postapocallypse and senseless agenda. Wanted to throw away the game and completed it only out of respect to the characters. Very dissapointed. The first game made me buy PS4 and this sequel "turns me against" Sony.
    The devs made great work, though.

After having seen an unknown person brutally murder one of the main characters we are already familiar with, we are then forced to play as this very person. I cannot even imagine why someone would want to do a trick like that. I got so repelled and disturbed by the scene of Joel’s death that I couldn’t sleep the following two nights. And now I have to play as his murderer. I do not think this is a contribution that matches the first part. Brilliant design and graphics, I admit that. But the plot truly disappointed me. Expand

    Please mark this game with the following:
    Caution: Pathetic, soap opera-like sh.t. In case you don´t like this, skip it, because you´re gonna spend hours on useless, boring scenes.

The world building is nonsensical and boring. The advertisement and those trailers ND showed before had nothing to do with the final product. Outright fraud in my opinion. In no way is this a organic continuation of the first one, or a opportunity to reconnect to the characters youve grown to like.

    All those praises from the "official gaming journalism" just shows how much those is worth these days. If i could have gotten my money back, i definitly and gladly would have given the game back. Naughty dog hasnt seen a single dollar from me since then, and they likely never will again.

All attempts to justify Abby are worthless. I was sincerely glad when her friends died. Since the obsessed with revenge was NOT ELLIE, but ABBIE. WHO PREPARED FOR REVENGE MOST OF ALL? ELLIE OR ABBIE?

    Saying that I disliked this game would be an insult to every games I disliked..

    This game goes far beyond "subverting expectations", far beyond "disrespecting the people who literally built your success..", it goes far beyond anything I thought could be possible! And I say this even after Star Wars VIII !! Here are the same mechanisms, again and again...to hijack some iconic product, some whole franchise, some whole fanbase, hijack them to bring them where you, some extraordinary minor but extraordinary ultra radical minority, want them to be put!

    You know that if you did, by yourself, create a completely NEW product completely in line with your ultra radical political agenda, you know that this product would not pass the number of a couple of thousands sold copies !! (Even more without the false advertising you are experts at !)

    So you hijack some big names which by themselves, you know it, will sell millions of copies! That's your kind of people's strategy, here and everywhere, again and again! Of course, false advertising is professionally applied!

    And this game set a new record in that strategy! Congratz to you! But you'll learn that many, many, many people can acknowledge them being fooled once! But you'll learn that they are learning too !

    As it is said : Vote and express Yourself with your wallet !!
    I don't need nor want to swear, just believe me when I say that never ever will I buy any more product from Naught Dog!

    Here are my ratings :

    1 point for the technical side of that "game". That point goes to you all, the tech devs..

    0 point for.. everything else.
    The scenario is one of the worst I played, and you can repeat this appreciation to everything else (Artistic design, character design, scenario, originality, "respect" of the franchise, "respect" of the gamers, "respect" of anything of value in the franchise)

    So that's a score of 1/10.. but I really should remove 1 point to respond to all the 10/10.. Adapting myself to the audience here around.. but no.. here too, I'll keep the respect I have for myself..

    Some final words :
    Thank you Naughty dog for making me a "different" gamer! You indeed made me "progress". I'm now open to spoilers! I'm now ultra careful before buying any AAA or any big franchise's products ! I'm now far more radical, following your example, with my opinions and search criterias !

    I was a radical "no spoil" gamer.. since TLOU2 now I simply cannot and will never ever again preorder any games! I'll patiently wait for real people's reviews and for real people's feedbacks before thinking of acquiring any game ! Thank you soo much Naughty Dog!

    Saying that I disliked this game would be an insult to every games I disliked..

    Can't wait to see how will perform your next games.. I predict the same things as for Star Wars (you fool and totally disrespect people once, but you should not be able to repeat the process..)

    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.
