    Game gets a 2 for beautiful graphics, game mechanics are not really that much more impressive than the first. Story is garbage and really feels like naughty Dog was pissed that people loved Joel’s character
    The sex scene was disgusting and awkward, they continue to claim that Abby is a girl, but they prob say that about Bruce Jenner too.

    I deleted the first game off my console, naughty dog ruined TLOU, it had so much potential but they had to force their wokeness. Wtf happened to the gaming industry

    Naughty dog will get no more money from me ever again. Their show on HBO will prob flop harder than this game.

    As a long time film critic im not new to **** people being **** over something as stupid as a video game. Most reviews of this game are the worst thing to me. They take personal vendettas against a message brought to us through art. With that said I also don't believe that the message of tlou2 is pro gay but its more that gays just exist.

The first couple of hours are not anything special but really it picks up and becomes truly amazing. The new character of Abby is easily one of my favorite characters in gaming period. Alot of controversy surrends her saying that she has poor writing but personally as a kid coming from similar circumstances I can personally say that she is perfectly written. The game has no to little plot holes which I see in many reviews they state. This is false. Last of us 2 is truly a masterpiece of both storytelling and gameplay. Most of the negative reviews are review bombing against the "gay" agenda which if that is you. Go **** yourself. Expand

I really enjoyed it and was surprised by some of the things that happened, things I nor my friends expected but even though I was mad at first I remembered what type of game it was and put it in a real world situation and it all made since. Overall this was an astounding game, it’s in a tie for game of the year with Final Fantasy VII Remake for me Expand

    The gameplay hardly changed or upgraded from the last game, the enemies are more tedious (not fun) and killing them feels more like a shore. The storyline keept me uninterested and it was poorly executed. Definitely a giant downhill downgrade from the first game.

    Spoiler free this is more addressing the ridiculous scores a bunch of "players" are leaving. Firstly leaving a score review when you've clearly not played the whole game or at least a significant chunck is pointless and ridiculous. I've heard things like it's not open enough yet at points the area's you can explore are substantial if you look.
    People saying it's boring.....you move to one

Firstly leaving a score review when you've clearly not played the whole game or at least a significant chunck is pointless and ridiculous. I've heard things like it's not open enough yet at points the area's you can explore are substantial if you look.
    People saying it's boring.....you move to one area kill enemies then walk around for 20 mins with nothing. Yes at some points there isn't a lot of action but that's not what this game is about. You need atmosphere, a lot of the time the down time moments are to allow conversation between characters or simply to allow some atmosphere. Also a lot of the time these moments allow exploration where notes can be found for more world building or safe codes. Equally the contrast between the quiet moments and then the moments of action are key to the experience.
    This game is about story, it's about creating a believable world with relatable characters. It hasn't evolved a whole load from tlou 1 but then why change something great? If anything this improves on the first. Movement and conflict is so much smoother with more fluidity to motion. The only criticism I can find is that there are a few light glitches but v rare and insignificant.
    Finally anyone bombing this score because there is a feminist undertone or because Ellie is a Lesbian who has a relationship with (shock horror) a girl.......
    Go look at yourself in the mirror and question what you are doing.
    The game is excellent. Tlou 1 is one of my fav games ever and this definitely joins that list. Well done naughty dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought the gameplay, graphics, scenery where amazing and so was the story until the ending. It makes no sense why Ellie didn’t kill Abby, she killed so many people and lost so many people on her path to revenge just to let her go in the end because a flashback of Joel playing a guitar. Makes 0 sense she’s lost everything for nothing. Couldn’t have ended any worse. There is to many holes in the story, but in the end i enjoyed it, really should’ve went a different route with the ending tho Neil. Expand

Funny how a little moment some people didn't even think about ended up becoming important to the story. Killing abby’s dad like that goes to reinforce the narrative in these games that messed up things tend to happen oit of know where all the time in these games and you just have to accept that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This 7 years of waiting just didn´t worth it. I didn´t saw the leaks, so I felt very shocked and cheated when the Joel death scene came up. In the trailers they make you believe that he will go with you in your revenge mission. That NEVER happens...at all. And telling that is to avoid the spoilers, is just plain lying. One thing is avoiding the spoilers, and other thing is completely lying to the consumers showing them something they will never have. Joel dies in the most gruesome way in the first 2 hours or less, in hands of a character that is totally new and that no one cares about. Mr Neil Druckmann said that this sequel will honour Ellie and Joel. I really didn´t saw ANY of that. He disrespected both of his characters, turning a badass survivor into a stupid old man, and a charismatic girl into an adult with almost no emotions.

    What bothers me the most are this specific points:

    1. They want to make you believe that Joel was bad and that he deserved that. Yeah, he killed lots of people, but for surviving. Not because it was funny or cool for him . He was killing bad people who tried to killed him and Ellie during ALL the first game. Have you heard the audios and find the notes in TLOUS? THERE WAS NO CURE PEOPLE! The fireflies kept experimenting with inmune people and killing them for nothing, also they were going to kill Joel. THEY WEREN´T GOOD PEOPLE!!! So, for Joel are consequences but for them not? If you take this whole plot of actions and consequences, well I´m sorry but Abby´s father deserved to die, because he was killing innocent people to try to find a vaccine. This is what they are trying to say, but why it has to affect the main character that everybody loves?

    2. They try to make you empathize with Abby, showing you OH LOOK! she plays with dogs, OH LOOK Abby and his father. Sorry but I just couldn´t empathize with her. She was a mean person. She enjoyed making people suffer. And also her friends told her she should stop killing. SHE IS THE VILLAIN HERE! Stop pretending she is not! And after all she has done. She deserves being forgiven? Is this a joke? She killed Joel, she killed Jesse, left Tommy blind and also she was going to kill Dina, and after all of this Ellie is like...meh..I´ll let you go (?) It doesn´t make any sense!

    3. Druckmann and some people think that every one that doesn´t like this game is an incel, and homophobe or a hater bot or a crying baby . It´s not like that. What bother us is how the story was handled after all they achieved with Tlous 1. They wanted to kill Joel? FINE! But not in suck a stupid way, taking him out of character. He could smell a trap from miles away, he didn´t even helped a family in the prologue of the game to protect his family, but here, him and Tommy are giving all of their personal info to a group of armed people (?) As I said before. They are old, but they are not stupid. I love the diversity of the game, the inclusion of LGTB+ community, the fact that Abby is buff as hell, I think that those factors are AMAZING, the only problem here...is the story.

    It´s sad that a game with such beautiful environments, gameplay mechanics and music, is not good enough for a lot of people just for the story. I finished TLOUS 1 very quick because I was immerse in the story and I just couldn´t stop playing. In this game I was really having a hard time to continue. Specially in the Abby part. And people who says that they owe nothing to the fans, they are so wrong. They owe everything to the fans, because they are where they are because of them. A good example of treating the fans with respect is the development of Sonic the Movie. I hope mr Druckmann can learn a bit from them. You can have a lot of sales, but that doesn´t mean that every costumer is enjoying the game. People bought the game because of the trust in Naughty Dog, but it was worthless.

    Where do I begin? Joel previously left a family pleading for help on the side of the road. Joel saw through an ambush and ran a man over. He was willing to kill both Henry and Sam and yelled at Ellie when she intervened. He's a 25 year apocalyptic veteran with hundreds if not thousands of kills and murders under his belt.

    Where do I begin? Joel previously left a family pleading for help on the side of the road. Joel saw through an ambush and ran a man over. He was willing to kill both Henry and Sam and yelled at Ellie when she intervened. He's a 25 year apocalyptic veteran with hundreds if not thousands of kills and murders under his belt.
    Yet he voluntarily saved Abby despite a hoard of infected all rushing them. He volunteered personal information to her and treated her as if she were a guest of his and offered for her to come back to camp and resupply. He dropped his guard and followed her back to her place to meet up with her people. That's not what Joel does or who he is.

    We then take over the game as Abby AS JOEL'S KILLER and play 40% of the game as her with the intent of killing Ellie. The story of the first game is actually detrimental to the story of this one. The writing in the first had us grow with her, bond with her, and become family with her. You now want us as the player to actively try to kill her?? Without establishing any context beforehand, just out of the blue murders Joel. No amount of writing will ever get us to see things from her point of view after that. First impressions take seconds and changing that viewpoint can take years. No amount of playing as Abby has changed my mind that she killed Joel the way that she did and so soon in the game.

    The first game was THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME and Naughty Dog just shat all over us. Neil wanted a divisive game about hate, said it would polarize the fans, and said repeatedly the game is not fun. F this. How is a game about hate, violence, and revenge going to end on a note of mercy and compassion? It's very clear that the writers of this game are not the same writers from the first.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing sequel to easily one of the best, if not the best, game I have every played. The story takes a drastic turn from the expected early on, I personally feels like it drags during the middle of the game, but toward the end it is once again enthralling. The gameplay was better than the first but decent at most, but this isn't a game you play for the gameplay, although I did feel it suited the type of game very well. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. MY TOTAL SCORE | 10 | - Everything i wanted in this game was to play like Joel and Ellie. NaughtyDog dind't gave me that chance. Instead they paired me with the most unpleasant situation that i lived in a videogame. I had to see with my head pinned down, how my favourite character died like a dog. Then, i wanted to cry and kill everyone. But the game forced me into Abbie's storyline. I felt awkward playing as her. Part of me wanted to drop the controller and let the infected kill her over and over again. As the story was told, i understood that Abbie's group were people too. There was no good or bad guys, no black or white, even the Scar were gray. What Joel did in the first game had a major impact and ruined their lifes. Even if i was attached to Ellie, i understood. Every flashback, every cutscene was perfect, and had the perfect timing. I wanted to cry every time Ellie played Future Days.
    This game is PERFECT and it diserves a high score and probably GOTY award, but understand this: the game deals with mature content, storyline and character developement. That's why it has a low review score. Because people wanted a cheesy revenge story, plain characters and straight-forward moral situtations.

    MY REVIEW:
    CHARACTERS | 10 | - One of the best character developement that i ever seen. I feel attached with each and every one of them. I hated Abbie and the Wolves, but the game drives you into their story right after your favourite character was killed by them and shows you that they are people too, and that (from Abbie's point of view) Joel diserved what he got. Abbie was Ellie's Joel.

    STORY | 10 | - The game is not a classic revenge story by any means, and it's not for everyone. The mature content and depth of the characters combined with the story hits you right in the feelings. The different versions of the same event allows the player to understand everything that the characters are going trough. Everything is GRAY, not the clasic black and white, good versus evil.

    WORLD | 10 | - I love the world. What can i say? The world feels alive, every NPC of every faction has a name and probably a story. You hear them, they miss people, they are afraid, and when you are done hearing them and hiding, you kill them and the other NPCs scream "OH GOD, MARTHA IS DEAD". Freaking GREAT. The ambience and the ruins of the city are immersive, the sounds are incredible. Every part of the world design is awesome!

    GAMEPLAY AND ANIMATIONS | 9 | - The gameplay feels true to "The Last of Us", stealth mechanics, spam-grab everything, fluid combat, etc. I have one critic: The stealth-kill animations. I mean, come on, it's always the same. Couldn't you add at least two? Anyway, it's a minor thing, everything else is excelent.

    ______________________________________________________________________
    ADDRESSING THE CRITICS:
    1) A character you liked died. So, what? You deal with it and see where the game gets you.

    2) I absolutely HATE games, series or movies that force the LGBT+ in their stories. This game is an example of how to deal with that without forcing it. We have a lesbian, a bisexual jewish, a trans-gender Scar-asian boy, and TONS of NPCs talking about "Getting back with my man/woman". I didn't feel forced into that not even for a second. The game deals with it with absolute grace in a normal fashion, without imposing ideals. Just people dating people.

It massively explored our feelings and the ability to empathize with someone who hurt you really bad. I do feel that the ending was "cut short", which kind of reminds me of Life is Strange 1. As if they were in a hurry. I liked the gameplay, although it's not for everyone. If you liked the gameplay in the first one, I don't know why you wouldn't like it in the second one. It's weird that the most emotional parts were during flashbacks, but they still hit the spot. I'll think about this game for a while. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game isnt perfect, and worse than the first one. But more than half of these reviews are by people who have either not even touched the game or have not even finished it, which u can tell based on the fact that 18k ppl review bombed it in the first few hours when this is a 20+ hr game and from the fact that a lot of the reviews have no clue what happened in the game, which is quite sad, because this is a good game. The best parts of the game are the graphics and the gameplay, but the story isn't nearly as good. I don't understand why tf they made us play as Abby after she killed Joel, I feel like playing as Abby should've been dlc or smth rather than something I have to do to see the finale. But the parts with Abby still had enjoyable gameplay and great scenes. Now the story, it wasn't bad but not great either. The only two problems I really had was the **** ending, and playing as Abby, I understand that the end is supposed to show how Ellie accepts Joel's death and knows that killing her wont bring Joel back. But Ellie killed hundreds of people to get to her, and now when she finally does she feels empathy or regret?

    Anyways apart from that the game is pretty fantastic, playing on the hardest difficulty was extremely fun to add a sense of realism and made each encounter so much more stressful and exciting. And even though there aren't too many new things in stealth, the fact that u can now prone and some of the sequences with water lets to experiment with the combat system a lot more. Basically, u should buy this game but the story might be a bit of a dissapointment.

    La verdad tiene todo lo que un buen juego tienen que tener, los gráficos son excelentes, la jugabilidad bueno es igual a la de la primera entrega pero aún así es bastante cómodo, en resumen me ha parecido excelente y me apena muchísimo la calificación, no se puede criticar un juego entero por una parte de la historia, el mundo de the last of us es así, cruel y despiadado.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everyone giving this game 0-4 haven’t had many good reasons for hating this game that I’ve read. I’ve seen a lot of people talking about how bad the ending was (just because it wasn’t where most games/films would go, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad ending). Now I do agree that it feels like Ellie went through all that effort and pain almost for nothing by letting Abby live. But I commend ND for doing something kinda of different (It especially contrasts from the first game). By Ellie seeing a vision of Joel it seems as if she realises that she’s almost replicating his actions from the first game by going on this mass revenge spree.
    All in all I believe this ending fits the theme of the back half of this game.

    As for all these plot holes everyone keeps going on about the only real one I was confused about was why Abby never turned after Ellie bit her arm in the theatre. But other than that it was a fairly solid story.
    From everything else I’ve seen it doesn’t seem like people really have actual reasons they hate this game so much, others have said they don’t like the “agenda” they’re trying to push, but in all fairness by complaining that Ellie is gay and there’s a trans character (that isn’t Abby, I mean really everyone’s complaining about it but she’s clearly always been “Abby”, that’s proven in flashbacks. Sorry you’re scared of her because she’s just absolutely ripped). But if you’re complaining about the agenda by doing that you’re just pushing your own agenda of non acceptance. Call me woke or whatever but just because you don’t usually see people like this in other games doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Just wake up and realise that they aren’t the point of the game, they’re just there like they are in the real world.

    Quick one too, and it’s important. JOEL BEING KILLED DOESN’T RUIN/MAKE IT A **** GAME. It’s clearly here as a story driver (hence we wouldn’t have this game, which some people including myself agree that we didn’t really NEED a sequel, but that’s beside the point now). Joel really did kill a lot of people in the first game, he was going to die at some point; and someone seeking revenge on him should never have been out of the question, Abby’s agenda was fairly legit and not overly arguable, Joel really did kill everyone. Now this brings me to what I didn’t enjoy (hence a 9)
    While the story was in my opinion super solid and another incredible story driven journey across post apocalyptic America. It did drag on at times; especially when playing the same three days as abbey straight after playing them as Ellie. Giving Ellie a beating playing as Abby was also incredibly hard to bring myself to do as we’ve painted Ellie as the heroine the entire two games. There were also a few times where I would sit there almost stunned about where the story went. Often taking a moment to comprehend how the story jumped, Although none of this really affected my opinion of the game overall. To me. The Last Of Us part two is an incredibly detailed, immersive and stunning game, with a solid story and an always incredible performance from all the actors. To me it wasn’t quite as masterful as the first game, but still a worthy sequel to what I believe is one of the greatest games ever crafted.

It crushes and guts you to a point, where you're at the edge of stopping to play it, but you just can't quit it because the story magnetically draws you back in, it takes such a massive toll on your emotional comfort. I've never experienced this with any other game before. I still catch my mind grinding about the story, even though I finished the game three days ago and this will probably not stop for a long time. I'm sure there are many ways how they could have told another story for Joel & Ellie in a different perspective, but I think they executed it in the most difficult, dark, outrageous, crushing manner, rather than playing safe and pleasing the majority of gamers with a "this is how the story must have proceeded, everything else is BS" storyline.

    From a tech point of view it's also almost perfect. Only had one AI issue with Dina trapping me in a corner one time in a very diverse 28 hour run. The graphics are astonishing and the, in my opinion, already good control system of part one got refined and enhanced. That's why I can't understand how anyone could give this game less than a 3/10. The achievements of graphics, audio and atmosphere technology are unquestionably great. TLOU2 sets the bar very high for any following games, just like the TLOU1 did 7 years ago.

    For me, expectations were met and also exceeded in many ways. I hope that this was not the last part we will see of The Last of Us franchise. I feel obliged to have this as my first review on metacritic, because I think the backlash for Naughty Dog and Druckmann is too harsh in many ways.

    I also respect your opinion if you don't like it, This review here is just my opinion.

The graphics were amazing. the gameplay as always was interesting. but the story? what were the creators thinking? pushing us to like Abby by making us play her character half the game. we don't care about Abby! especially when in the first two hours you'll realize she's the reason Joel dies. and the way he died was so stupid. they shouldve at le ast tried to make it more sensible in relation to Joel's character. I just cannot comprehend how would they ever tell their true names knowing they are men who are being hunted by many people with grudges. i mean they should have changed their true names (Joel and ellie as well) in the 1st place once they started their lives in Jackson don't you think? And also, who would in their right mind go in a wild revenge when you're pregnant??? especially when Ellie and Dina isn't even that close in the beginning. I mean. really? Dina really? And the ending. ugh. it was so unsatisfying. ellie could have at least handicapped Abby. maybe cut her legs or squeeze her eyeballs. or something. I hate hate the story and the characters were bland af. Made me play the game just so I could at least have some of my money's worth. but damn. after moving on from sadness and infuriation due to Joel's death. it just became boring for me because I couldn't care about the endgame of it all.for me, it was over before it even started.

    2.lootear y lootear hasta morir: en la entrega pasada tenias que planificar bien tus acciones por las balas y los kits...aqui no tienes que preocuparte por esoo cosa que quita rralismo al juego
    3. De un juego de aventura y sigilio pasamos a lo etico y moral: todo lo que pasamos en el 1 trabajando sigilosamente contra todos aqui pasamos a dialogos super forzados y el juego te obliga a pensar como ellas....no naughty dogs NO.
    4.Joel.no merecia morir tan pronto: su muerte no fue absolutamente buena al contrario...FUE PESIMA
    5. Ellie tu venganza fue fallida (veremos en el punto qque sige)
    7. EL FINAL MAS HORRIBLE: ok que puede ser peor que todo lo anterior? Simple in final sin satisfaccion alguna. Ellie no mato a Abby al contrario la perdono y la dejo ir. Y se regreso sin sus dedos , toca la guitarra y ahi la deja....jamas perdono a joel y tendra que vivir con esooo nos enseña a que debemos apreciar lo que tenemos antes que lo perdemos de una manera muy patetica sin sentimiento.

    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.
