    When all this woke crap made to loved games franchises will end? I can't remember a more disgusting and frustrating premise, history development and outcome in any game i've ever played. To say naughty dog new team hated tlou1 with all their hearts is surely a understatement. My score is 10/10 because metacritic blocks any score under 9.

    The story is just wrong, the characters wouldn't do what they do. They could do this type of story if it didn't have characters with already established personalities, from the first game, that wouldn't do these things.

Congratz Naughty Dog you have cost SONY a customer for life, with your shameful DM CA attacks to keep your bad deceitful ADVERTISING, your pathetic director's crappy story from coming out in mainstream reviews and trying to crush the leaks. all in an attempt to fool customers into buying your depressing preachy HYPOCRITICAL product. Seriously SONY some ANIME cleavage is absolutely unacceptable but you are allowed to put that awkward sex scene with Abbey and Owen, by the way a question Owen looks alot like Abbey's dad, are they related?????

    The "critics review" score shows how rotten is this industry. A 100 is meant to be a perfect game. this is not a perfect game, not even a good game.
    Unless you want to play a videogame about political agendas, this game is not for you.
    Also, i Deducted 2 points from the score due to MUSO, and SONY **** tactics with youtubers and the false copyright demans ignoring fair use.

    To paraphrase Jim Sterling talking about Shadow of War:
    - TLoU was an example of how to take a tired formula and turn it into a great game
    - TLoU II is an example of how to take a great game and turn it into a total f*ck

    My 8 year old son would come up with more interesting and engaging story/narrative. It's basically the same level as GoT s8 or Star Wars Rise of the Skywalker.. The game that main point's the story, isn't even delivering on that front. Sad.

    they kill a favorite character in a way out of character and lie about it
    the game is fall of agenda
    the game isn't replayable
    the pacing want to make you finish it fast and not paly it again
    the game destroys the first lore and history
    the ending is not really its **** to not kill the **** let her go for forgiveness after you murder people who protect her
    overhaul who is it for Niel its not for the fans you show it when you destroy people who talk about the game leak **** ND the game is **** you butchered a good franchise it is 3 or 2,5
    worst it's worth 0 but I give it a there because the game is average at best the story is **** don't buy and if you want to play buy a 2 hand is a lot better to let it to not let your money

    Technically this game is well executed. The landscapes and sound quality is excellent, as is to be expected from a Naughty Dog game. The game loop is incredibly repetitive, I am not sure how anyone is expected to play this game more than once. While I am only some hours in I am already tired of the same old hackneyed hide, grab, and stab.

While I am only some hours in I am already tired of the same old hackneyed hide, grab, and stab.
    The major negatives...where to begin, I suppose the story should be first up. This game is depressing... like I would recommend people avoid it if they have any signs of depression or anxiety because it might push you into a really bad place. There is virtually no hope or joy in the world to speak of, and whatever might be considered joy is dashed by character actions.
    This segues nicely into character problems. I was not as enamored by the original TLoU characters as some people were, but their motivations seemed logically consistent. Honestly what the hell is even going on with these Ellie, Joel, Abby? Joel is completely out of character in comparison to the original game. Ellie and Abby's deathmatch over the course of the game has done nothing for me either as it seems as they will never grow into fully formed characters, rather they will just perpetually be in a juvenile state of vengeance to the end of the game. It has already been spoiled for me so I know what happens, but I am not sure I can last that long even though I am trying to make a review for the game. I was hopeful that this would live up to all the hype that surrounded it, but I have just been disappointed.
    As I said earlier I am not sure why anybody would give this more than a single playthrough, perhaps a completionist or someone who wanted to fiddle with the varied settings could get more out of it, I just don't see myself caring that much. There is nothing to care about in this game, it is brutal for brutality's sake, and the characters are two dimensional at best. It would be interesting to see how many of the critics who gave this a perfect score actually pick this game off their shelf to play it again now that they've reviewed it. Game of the console generation, huh, sorry TLoU2 I've already played Breath of the Wild, and you ma'am, are no Breath of the Wild,    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A murdered franchise, not only are the Americans so finished that they reckon with the opinion of LGBT people, now they have dragged them into the game, this is only 1/3 of the problem. Next comes the completely rotten plot. The murder of Joyle is simply the wretched character of Messrs. (Ally), which changes 4 times per game. Abby so put out the lights. I was disgusted to play for Abby, because this character killed my beloved hero, and I was simply not interested in playing for her. And as for the ending, I’ll say this, “the game of thrones” nervously smokes on the sidelines.
    Убитая франшиза, мало того что американцы настолько конченные что считаются с мнением лгбт, теперь ещё и в игру их притащили, это только 1/3 проблемы. Дальше идёт полностью всратый сюжет. Убийство Джойла, просто убогий характер гг(Элли) , который меняется по 4 раза за игру. Эбби так это вообще тушите свет. Мне было мерзко играть за Эбби, поскольку этот персонаж убил моего любимого героя, и мне попросту было неинтересно за неё играть. А про концовку скажу так, "игра престолов" нервно курит в сторонке.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us part 1 was a masterpiece of a game, it had clunky gameplay at times but it was a beautiful game set in an interesting and compelling world that pulled you in both violently and subtly, it was a true work of art. Unfortunately everything we loved about the first game was thrown away for cheap shocks and poor writing in the sequel. Everybody in the game is either an idiot or an unloveable a-hole leaving you almost nobody left to care about. They completely disregard how characters they've developed characters and how they act in order to force the plot to go where they wanted it to go. It feels like they wrote who they want to kill and how they want it to end and then went eh we'll figure it out at some point and then just forced the plot down a railroad to disappointment. They to be quite honest just spit in your face and the characters we've grown to love faces to tell this really cliche revenge story that has been told a hundred times and a hundred times better than it is told in this game. The game is paced rather poorly and you are bored for at least the first 2 hours if not the first half of the game entirely as it just crawls along like your grandfather driving on the freeway. It then forces you to play as a character you have no desire to play as and no interest to play as trying to humanize someone they've already made you hate. The graphics look fantastic and the voice acting is amazing but those are really the only good things about the game, the gameplay despite seven years hasn't really been innovated at all and remains the same thing we've had for years and the story is written so poorly that all the pretty graphics cant cover it up and even if the voices are great when the material is garbage you cant really get excited for it. Overall this game is sadly an insult to fans and itself and leaves you with only anger and disappointment as you wish you never played it and could take back the time stolen from you by this pointless slog through the sewer known as The Last of Us Part 2.… Expand

    I will start by writing that yes, the game doesn't objectively deserves a 0, but I rate it that way because it doesn't deserve a 10 either - far from that and what matters is the average score so I want my contribution to bring it as low as possible.
    This out of the way, people might think that is stupid, please read to the end.
    Everyone is unanimous to what's good and what's bad in    I will start by writing that yes, the game doesn't objectively deserves a 0, but I rate it that way because it doesn't deserve a 10 either - far from that and what matters is the average score so I want my contribution to bring it as low as possible.
    This out of the way, people might think that is stupid, please read to the end.

    Everyone is unanimous to what's good and what's bad in this game - at least everyone who's honest.
    The mocap and other technical aspects are top notch and the accessibility features will probably be a proof of concept for years to come. That's said, good job on that.

    Now on everything else ... To me, the game is a complete failure on mostly everything.
    The gameplay in the last of us 1 was quite simple with gathering supplies, crafting different tools and shooting/melee sneaking on ennemies. What has changed in 7 years ? Not much. So little actually that it wants you to wonder, what have you guys been doing for 7 years on that front ? Did you really spend 10% of your time working on the actual gameplay and 90% on accessibility features ?

    Now to be honest, it wouldn't even be that bad since once again, everyone agrees that what made the last of us 1 a great game wasn't really the gameplay, but the story and its characters.

    Now is the rollercoaster and where i've got my beef.
    I didn't really care for that infamous scene - I was actually expecting it even though I hadn't seen any leaks, I mean the game has been advertised by Sony and ND as a quest for revenge, and in all gameplay trailers you would see Ellie as the main character ? You don't need to be a genius to make 2+2 and figure out the very few reasons that would be a motivator for Ellie to start a revenge spree.

    Does it make sense though ? Most people are arguing that involved characters would have not acted that way and it's true. You don't build up a character with traits, knowledge, behaviors, to throw that up the windows because it is convenient to make a plot advancement. And that stuff also happens with Ellie who is really just **** most of the time.
    The rest of the cast is honestly weak and uninteresting and the story in itself is pointless. I guess you would say thats the whole point of vengeance being pointless but after 30 hours of doing repetitive scavenging hunting, it leaves you with a bitter taste, not because of the story ending but because you wasted your own time. The game leaves you with nothing.

    Finally, I want to emphasize that i'm not one to care for political agendas and stuff in games, mostly I don't even care about reviews - my account creation was to make a review against what blizzard had done with warcraft 3 reforged, that says a lot about how much it had to take for me to write a review.
    Regarding the whole agendas stuff, I didn't even knew who Neil druckmann was but I have to say after seeing the bigger picture, I'm convinced that there actually is political agenda in that game.
    There's too much of it. Too much of Druckmann himself in the game :
    The DR Uckmann game card ?
    The motion capture for Manny being Neil Druckmann ?
    Neil Druckmann being jewish and the only represented religion in the game being judaism ?

    This stuff is Kojima level of putting yourself as a director into your game to the point where you put some of your own personal beliefs into the game and to the player that you shouldn't be.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the representation of minorities, sharing culture and all of that but here there is something really wrong and at some point we can't just shut up to SJW and political correctness bullying.

    I guess anyone's take on the game is as good as mine but at least in put my cent to the discussion because I don't want the videogame industry to become what Naughty Dog just did.    … Expand

Don't be fooled by all the positive reviews.Game journalists now a days have no standard whatsoever and rate every AAA game 10/10, as they fewer braincells than a chicken(sorry chickens).gameplay was the same with an added jump button and more puzzles than the previous one,Graphics OMG they are marvelous,fantastic.Seeing it on my 4k Tv ,playing on my ps4 pro never felt so awesome.Voice acting and music is awesome no complaints there.But a naughty dog game with idiotic.non sensical story with stupid characters taking stupid decisions , never ever thought of that.I don't like the newly introduced character at all,she is like living embodiment of all the stupidity there ever is(Don't want to include any spoilers ,so not going any deep into it).All in all they really ruined the game.i'll sell the game asap on gameloot.Bought the game from gameloot,they delivered it quite early.Anyway Hardcore fans of the first part like me skip this one,you wont like it.If you are new to the franchise and are just here to enjoy a quality game from sony,albeit with a nonsensical and a braindead story this game has your back.

    I admit I only played for a few hours. I didn't have enough nerves for any more. I had never disliked the protagonists so much, and without J there was no point in continuing.
    The graphics is good and that's the only positive. Boring, repetitive gameplay. Disgusting characters. But the plot is the worst part, and I've heard that it only gets worse later.
    I will never buy anything from these developers again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is bad "The Last of Us" fanfiction pretending to be a video game. It's complete with the Original Character Mary Sue beating (and/or killing) the previous protagonists and having sex with the author's Self-Insert.

    It is a perfect example of how a company can completely misunderstand what made it's previous product so successful and go out of it's way to destroy beloved characters.

    Just like Game of Thrones Season 8 and The Last Jedi, it's a demonstration of what happens when people with more ambition than talent are put in charge of a project and mistake subverting audience expectations with producing a quality product.

    Add into this Naughty Dog and Sony's false advertising and blatant abuse and misuse of the Copyright system to silence critics and the and you are left with a product isn't worth picking up at a bargain bin price, let alone a full AAA price.    … Expand

I think it’s strange of sony/naughty dog, to be pro trans but make a trans character that everyone will hate. seems like maybe they are trans phobic themselves but hide it under virtual signalling

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all,I have to state that the game is not really a "0" score game,due to the amazing graphic and not evolution though still intriguing game-play. If I want to give the game a fair score, it probably will be around 7, purposely because of everything else, which is good game by and large.

    BUT!! the idea of shoving a horrible political correct story in player's arse just for political correction sake is definitely needed to be terminated, even not just for gaming industry.

    Almost all of the plot driving points are just stupid, long time survivors Joel and Tommy are just lost all the cautiousness, lead to Joel's death, Killing spree machine Abby just let a girl who is apparently closed to Joel go,and the ending which everybody hated.

    And the so call meaning of the story is butchered so hard, killing is a big part of LoUS, it is in the game mechanic let alone story. People get reward by killing especially in this sequel which we dealing human much more than the original, it is Apocalypse after all. You want to talk about circle of hatred, that is fine, put in the content, shows in emotions, alter some of actions. Not just consistent killing each other with cold blood and all of sudden spare some lives just for haunting them later at last second. They are just not what people will do in that situation.

    All in all, garbage story telling and script, have so much potential with changing ideas of integrated LGBT element in games among gamers but failed miserably, and hated it even more. 0/0    … Expand

I love that it told us about hope in a world of despair. I love that it had memorable, precious moments between characters, but this game is MISERABLE.

They destroyed the characters we loved from the first game and the new characters they introduced were not interesting at all. The story didn't make sense and the worst part is that they force you to play as Abby which is like torture after seeing what she did to Joel. The game tries so desperately to make you like Abby that it's hilarious, meanwhile Ellie is treated like a villain. The pacing of the story isn't good at all either. The gameplay is okay but I was expecting more improvements from the first game, it gets repetitive especially because the game is needlessly long. Super disappointed… Expand

You are told that nothing is wrong here. You see, the food on this menu was not meant to taste good, that is part of the experience.
