    Neil has proven that without Bruce or Amy to steer the ship, he's a completely incompetent writer. The game is a pandering mess with ridiculous characters, subplots and writing. Beloved characters from the first game are disregarded and desecrated so you can focus on Neil's new cast of diverse characters.

Bueno, ayer me he terminado el juego que ya es más de lo que muchos de por aquí pueden decir porque al momento de hacer esta review solo el 6% de los jugadores han terminado el juego según los trofeos. El juego es una maravilla y la historia es BUENÍSIMA. Es un juego mucho más oscuro que el original, he visto gente quejándose de que es un juego de venganza en el que al final no hay venganza (Es como si en Kill Bill al final no mataran a Bill), enfadada porque una buena historia sobre la venganza tiene que acabar como John wick matando a todo el mundo y a dormir como un bebé esa noche. Pues la cosa no va así, La venganza destruye completamente a sus protagonistas dejándoles sin nada de lo que querían todo por la pura venganza.

    Algo que me parece un total acierto por parte de ND es que la muerte de Joel sea tan cruda y abrupta, hace que realmente quieras acabar con Abby. Te hace empatizar con Ellie y quieres llevar a cabo su venganza pero a medida que vas avanzando en su arco ves que estás haciendo algo terrible y que no tiene porqué seguir sufriendo así cada enemigo tiene nombre y tu no haces más que matar y destruir partes de tu alma para acabar con alguien como si todo esto te fuese a devolver a Joel. Y lo MEJOR viene cuando empiezas a jugar con Abby y ves que no estás matando a malas personas y te hace sentir un monstruo todo lo que has ido haciendo durante el juego. Viene el arco de Abby un arco de redención en el que salvaremos a unos serafitas que se han visto envueltos en una guerra sin sentido. Ella trata de redimirse haciendo algo bueno por alguien con la esperanza de que sirva de algo (Como hizo Tess en el primer juego ya que ella se sentía como lo peor y quería hacer algo bueno antes de morir). Pero hacer lo correcto en el último momento no sirve de nada y Abby lo paga descubriendo que todos sus amigos han muerto por culpa de su venganza contra Joel. Va a por Ellie y tras el enfrentamiento decide PERDONARLA por SEGUNDA VEZ ya que matarla solo haría que volver a empezar este horror de nuevo. Pero todavía queda Ellie ya que después de todo, de tener a su pareja con su hijo y una casa donde poder empezar a ser feliz decide dejar todo esto atrás para vengarse. Ellie pierde TODO por su venganza, hasta pierde dos dedos y su capacidad de tocar la guitarra, única cosa que le une emocionalmente a Joel y el último plano de ella dejando la guitarra atrás y alejándose es una representación de como a decidido poner fin a ese capítulo terrible de su historia y seguir adelante. Resistir y sobrevivir.

    Yo diría que este juego no está por encima de la obra original pero está al nivel sin ninguna DUDA. Un absoluto y merecidísimo 10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is not what I imagined. It is very very upsetting, it is a shock that they went in this direction. However, it's a bloody zombie apocalypse. No one is safe from anyone. Even though the story broke my heart I still think it is an amazing story, and I wouldn't feel the way I do if it wasnt. I just wish it was concluded in a more rewarding way. The gameplay oh the gameplay. Its amazing, just like the 1st which is what I was hoping for....but miles better.

    The game design and environment art is on point and the best I have ever seen in a game, this will look the dog's on PS5.

    After the first play through I felt drained, sad and still I wanted more.

    Well done Neil and everyone at ND for not making a lovey dovey game and sticking to the genre and building on the main character in this franchisewhich is the world. I am really gutted you guys are having to deal with this horrible backlash.

    I just wanted to add that I think it is amazing how many of you finished the game on the 19th and 20th June, and gave such poor reviews with no mention of how short the story and game was. Joking aside you should get in contact with Anthony Caliber and give him a heads up on some of the routes and tricks you used to to finish the whole game so quickly.

    9/10 from me. I hope there will be a Part 3. Fingers crossed. If not Factions and maybe story DLC and some more trophies to chase?    … Expand

    Gameplay was basically the same as the first game with some added upgrades to skill tree and weapons.
    Graphics were amazing as always coming from naughty dog. The story wasn't so great as it was forced to have characters to go outside of their natural elements just to drive the narrative forward of revenge.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TL:DR - Neil Druckmann wrote this for himself and not the fans and prioritized inclusiveness over story.

    I'd like to start this review by saying that I was well aware of all the leaks prior to the release of this game. I, like a lot of fans, was pretty furious at the whole situation but decided I'd bite the bullet and buy the game anyway - after all experiencing a game for yourself is an entirely different experience to watching a playthrough.

    Gameplay-wise this game is a slight rehash of the previous installment - with a few creature comforts such as the dodge button (which on normal difficulty doesn't have much of an impact but on higher difficulties is essential). I enjoyed the added feature of dogs, which made the combat encounters feel slightly less repetitive and the new weapons were also a cool addition. For a "zombie type game" I felt there was definitely a bigger focus on the human enemies (which I don't have a problem with however I feel the infected should have had a larger presence in the game).

    Puzzles within the game were pretty similar to the first - with the added rope mechanic to change things up as well as the safe combinations. I felt there was way more that could've been done to actually push the player into thinking a bit more, as these puzzles felt way too easy.

    The game does a beautiful job in creating an environment that will always lead you in the right direction. This is hard to explain without experiencing for yourself, but I'll try my best. The game will lead you towards a locked door for example, forcing you to turn around after finding out it's locked. When you turn around, you'll realize you've walked past a vent which you can climb into thus leading you back on track. The level designers are amazing at their job and should be praised for this. In addition to this, although this game is very much linear, it does an amazing job at tricking you into thinking otherwise. The levels are much larger allowing for a lot more exploration than in the first game which helped keep things from getting boring. In terms of graphics, this game is absolutely beautiful, however this is expected from a triple A studio such as Naughty Dog. Nonetheless credit where credit is due.

    Now the story - I have very mixed opinions. From the start of this game, it is clear there is a political agenda. There is an extremely large focus on inclusiveness for a large amounts of ethnic and sexual orientations which is great - these groups deserve recognition in video games. My problem with this is when it has no benefit for the game other than to meet a checklist for inclusiveness (which is definitely what this feels like). For example, early within the game there is a scene where Ellie and Dina find themselves within a synagogue. This level seemed like a lesson on Jewish beliefs rather than serving purpose to the story. Yes Dina is Jewish - but why do we need to know this when it literally has no purpose other than in this scene in the entirety of the game after this. After playing this game for yourself - you'll understand where I'm coming from - this happens a number of times.

    Joel is killed off early in the game by Abby (the daughter of a doctor Joel killed in the first game). I am fine with this decision - in fact I expected it before the leaks happened. My problem with this is that there wasn't enough interaction between Ellie and Joel before this happened. It would've made more sense to let us play a few hours with Ellie and Joel together (allowing fans to reminisce about our experience of the first game), then have the whole argument between the two, and then Joel's death. Joel's character was completely watered down from a cautious character who would never give his name to anyone, to a complete idiot with no character development in between. This would've been fine if there was that development.

    Playing as Abby was probably the worst decision to make. I'm sure most fans would never sympathize with her no matter how good of a person she is portrayed to be or what good deeds she has done. The only reason I somewhat enjoyed the Abby portion of this game (which is around 10 hours) was the better weapons she had over Ellie. I would like to add that Abby's part of the game would've been better had it been released as DLC rather than in the main story. This would've made more sense as it would've given us her side of the story separately without forcing players who loved the Ellie and Joel dynamic to play 10 hours as Joel's killer unwillingly. I felt no sympathy towards Lev, just because of his association to Abby.

    The ending was a straight kick in the face to the last 20-30 hours of the game. Ellie decides to let Abby go, after killing hundreds of people to get to her. This decision just seems misplaced and doesn't make any sense, just as Ellie realizes killing is bad. It's a shame because this game could have redeemed itself yet it sticks with a cliche ending    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There have been, and will be a lot of bad games in the history of gaming. Some are incomplete, some has boring gameplay, some carries unbearable bugs, etc. But TLOU2 is really a bad game of its own league. It is such a fine-crafted game. It inherits the gameplay of its prequel and adds many details to it. The guitar playing is great, the movements are so smooth, details when killing the enemies are impressive... It almost has all I need to call it "the game of PS4".

    But the core of TLOU is that it tells a story. It's not a game like the Witcher 3 where you have different consequences to your different choice. It's not a game like Super Mario Odyssey where the gameplay without any plot. TLOU strikes me as one of my (before I walked into this piece of garbage called TLOU2) because it tells a great story to me, a story that I can feel and love the characters. I do not agree with Joel's decision at the end of the TLOU but I can understand because along with the game I come to love Ellie too.

    Then there comes the TLOU2. A game that tells you a story of your most beloved person cruelly killed in front of you. You go to half of the country to find and kill and the murderer. Guess what? She kills your friend in front of you and now you play as her!

    The second half of this game is the worst gaming experience I have ever had. You have to play this person you hate. The second half would be totally fine if Abby wasn't the person who cruelly killed Joel. If she's just some unrelated person and this is called TLOU: another story or what so ever, I would like it. Instead, Neil and Naughty Dog decide to make us players feel Abby and her deep, complicated story. It almost feels like Neil is this arrogant person who want to lecture us in a philosophy or literature course. No matter how the game tells a full, well-rounded story about Abby, I can never like this character. The time playing as her feels worst. It denies everything I loved about TLOU.    … Expand

    Intentare ser lo mas claro que pueda,el juego actualmente esta siendo muy criticado en estos dias ya no entiendo la verdad porque hay tantas criticas tan absurdas.
    El juego esta siendo criticado por un porcentaje de personas porque Ellie y Dina son HOMOSEXUALES osea no es posible la verdad la falta de educacion en las personas como catalogar que es "malo" o un "delito" ser homosexual sabiendo que en la primera entrega de the last of us ya se sabia que ellie era homosexual en el dlc de left behind se puede ver claramente que ellie es homosexual hasta una vez el propio creador del juego (Neil Druckmann) en una entrevista años antes habia dicho que ellie era lesbiana,ahora tu para criticar el juego por eso cuando era algo que ya se sabia,es de que tienes que estar mal amigo.

    mi reseña del juego:

    reseña en historia:

    el juego es muy bueno al inicio de la trama si se sintio un poco pues triste ver la muerte de joel unas de las cosas que no me gusto del juego sobre su muerte es en la forma en que murio nose si se vio un poco forzada su muerte como si el papel del personaje ya no sirviera me hubiera encantado poder manejar un poco a joel como en la primera entrega que manejabas a ellie y a joel.
    Me parecio muy bien en la forma que quisieron hacer la trama en buscar venganza por la muerte de joel matando uno por uno a los compañeros de Abby ya que participaron en la muerte de joel,algo que si te deja un poco pues sacado de onda es controlar todo de nuevo pero desde la perspectiva de Abby como pasan los dias etc. En la parte donde Abby va a lugar donde se encuentra Tommy,Jessie,Dina y Ellie,cuando Abby pelea con Ellie no me gusto que controlaramos a Abby no se porque lo hicieron asi la verdad.Pero en el verdadero final cuando Ellie se encuentra con Abby me hubiera gustado nose aue en vez del final que Ellie deja vivir a Abby hubiera algun tipo de eleccion si matarla o dejarla vivir. Bueno conclusión en la historia:En el juego nos da entender que ningun personaje es bueno dando a entender que Joel no fue una persona del todo buena mato a personas como Abby y Ellie. Ambos personajes perdieron muchas cosas,en el caso de Abby perdio a sus amigos su grupo etc.
    Ellie perdio a joel su figura paterna,amigos etc.La historia no es del todo mala como para darle 0 e incluso es buena pero si el final te queda con un sabor de boca amargo nose si el final lo hicieron asi para hacer una tercera entrega no lo se yo le daria en la historia un 7.5

    Reseña en jugabilidad,graficas etc:

    El juego es excelente en graficos un juego que es increible como lo manejaron graficamente como hicieron los mapas los ambientes etc en jugabilidad ufff buenisimo. La gente critica el juego por el downgrade vamos todos los juegos siemore utilizan downgrade en caso de este juego no es casi nada de diferencia a los trailers todo lo que se muestra en los trailers de jugabilidad estan.Me encanto su jugabilidad como te acuestas en la hierba para no ser descubierto cuando te tiran una flecha y haces la animacion de que te la quitas como se comportan los enemigos como hay obstaculos. El como mejorar tus armas los objetos que puedes utlizar a tu favor como crear un silenciador,una bomba,molotov etc todo todo fue muy bien creado el juego mis respetos felicidades a naugthy dog espero la tercera entrega ¡felicidades!

    Yo en en todo lo demas que no tenga que ver en la historia le doy un 10 porque fue excelente.

    El juego claro que si lo recomiendo yo lo disfrute mucho el explorar lugar por lugar te da horas de diversión garantizado. bueno por mi parte esa es mi reseña. ACLARO YO EL PRIMER JUEGO SI LO JUGUE Y ESTA SEGUNDA ENTREGA CLARO QUE LA COMPRE Y LA DISFRUTE MUCHO. EN ESTA RESEÑA DOY MIS MAS SINCERAS OPINIONES MUCHAS GRACIAS. :)

    Just a fantastic game that is not as good as the first, but just slightly. Gameplay is superb but gets just slightly tedious, graphics some of the best if not the best in some aspects and a story...that I at least found to be great. A real tough one to get through due to the heavy story, but not in a bad way. But still, there is one obvious issue that we all know of now.

    If the game just was not as divisive as it is, I probably would give it a 10. If my interpretation of the story was correct, then there clearly has to be issues with the storytelling as people dont get invested in it and find it bad. I reeeaally liked this game and disagree that it has a bad story, but I can at the same time really get why people dont like it. And I am not blaming the player for "not getting" the story, as there are so many that hate it. Something has clearly gone wrong in the storytelling.

    In a perfect world I probably would have got another game that matches up more with the first one in certain story ways, but I am not mad with the one we got.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a writer, you always want to keep your characters consistent. I did not see any of that in this story. I understand that there is a time jump, but some of the character's motivations made no sense to me. At the same time, I understand the source for Abby's revenge, but it fell flat due to no proper build up to sympathize with her. As far as Ellie, she is obviously justified in her revenge, but at the end of the day, there is no pay off. To subvert player expectations just to make a point that revenge will leave you nothing is, in my honest opinion, not great for video game storytelling. You do not want to alienate your fan base, because the trust they had in you is now broken. Now, when I see these writers attached to future products, I will have to think twice about purchasing their game, as the trust is now broken. The game is stunning in visual aspects, the game play is tweaked a bit(but not that different) from the first game, but as a writer, I expected a 5-Star Michelin steak dinner, and I feel like I was given a hamburger from McDonalds.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having just completed TLOU2 I did enjoy the game.
    Does it compare to the first one?
    No. Because it is a COMPLETELY different story. So stop acting like its going to be a continuation of that original story arc. Because it is not. And you will be disappointed if that's what you think this is.

    That said, MAN it was a journey. A complete emotional rollercoaster. But stick with it, even if you don't want to.
    I went from:-
    -Hate
    -Bleak depressed
    -To LOVING the game
    (And a bit controversial, liking all the characters, even Abby)
    The game makes you question hate. It makes you examine hate. It makes you look at hate square in the eyes and demonstrates that it achieves nothing but destruction and chaos. Nobody wins with hate. In fact you can stand to lose everything.

    Game play:-
    Graphics are truly amazing. The scenery is outstanding. The facial expressions on the characters pull you in. The infected are WAY more cunning. And I officially HATE stalkers. Shamblers, just burn them to death, but stalkers -! Maaaann I hated those.

    The physical controlling of the characters is good as well. I dropped prone SO much. And the fact you can craft whilst being prone is a nice touch too. I am not the slickest player, when it comes to combat. So I ran away alot! But whilst engaging in combat situations, the mechanics felt smooth and the flow was good.

    I also liked the fact that you couldn't one shot kill the clickers/runners with a molotov anymore. They leapt back from the flames rather than stupidly running into them. Although a half burnt clicker is very disturbing to stealth kill.....

    There is SO much to explore. When I first started playing I felt overwhelmed with the scope of play. And the fact that I was truly terrified of the infected, and the new evolution versions, made me reluctant to enter buildings a bit. So a second play through is needed. FOR SURE.

    I also reached the point where trying to gun my way through everyone was exhausting. So stealth and sneaking past people was the way ahead for me. Tricky, and some close calls, but i managed. In order to explore fully next time, I will possibly have to go scorched earth policy. But then it will be for exploration, rather than story line.

    Controversy:-
    Abby is NOT trans. Lev IS trans.
    Unless Abby has managed to find a stash of hormone pills, she MAGICALLY doesn't have a beard, or a deep voice, or an Adams apple. It is actually possible for women to work out to such an extent that they develop pecs and lose their breasts. She is determined to take Joel out, and therefore has trained accordingly.
    Ellie has always been gay. We see this in the DLC left behind. This should not have been a surprise to anyone at all. And If you were going on a journey, you would also take your SO with you.

    In summary:-
    Yes this is a good game. But it is NOT a feel good game. The whole point of the first game was to deliver the cure for mankind to the fireflies. To save the world. And then suddenly, Joel couldn't do it. (Can I also point out that no one woke Ellie up to ASK her opinion) but by saving Ellie, he condemns the world.
    This installment, gets us to look at that, and how the world has divided itself in order to make sense or survive. This is a story about hate and revenge. And it MAKES you look at ALL sides of the argument. Ellie, Wolf or Seraphite. It is not an easy pill to swallow. And there are some actions you do NOT want to take. But ultimately you complete this section of the journey. Which leaves the end feeling, short.

    Because, and this is to anyone else whose finished it, doesn't it feel like #TheLastofUsPart2 is the middle book in the series & we're waiting on the final installment? So come on Naughty Dog...
    Bring on the fireflies

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was the biggest disappointment in my gaming experience. The Last of Us Part II destroys everything the original game built around Joel and Ellie. Joel was killed in such a pathetic and forced way that was troubling to believe, he is a hardened survivor of the world and has experienced a lot yet, they thought the best way to kill him was to have him walk into a room full of strangers with his guard down? Yeah, that’s Joel alright... This game is a pathetic excuse of a sequel and deeply saddening to see fall.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *The game has phenomenal graphics for the enviroment and models. However thats the only positive I can think about this game... maybe the guitar section too.
    *The gameplay is similar to the first game, with barely any improvements but improvements none the less
    *The story is like a badly written fanfiction of a person who has barely watched 2 hours of the originals story. The characters in it make the dumbest of choices, the main cast should have died a hudred times due to their choices alone but oh well, deus-ex stupidity is a real thing.

    2/10 just for the graphics and the slightly improved gameplay.

    Spoilery rant below

    The story sucks, every character from the previous game has been dumbed down to a degree that u can comfortably say they are from some bizarro universe, the ending is anti-climactic. The story is trying too hard to force on us that only Ellie's revenge, who's at this point is the most justified is bad. Abby who's from start to finish the most unikeable character in the game is forced on us, after she has killed the most beloved character in the game and they try so hard to justify her, to make her likeable but all they do is make you hate her more. They also really tried to make Ellie unlikeable in this game, they took everything from her. She goes on a rampage to kill Abby, kills all of Abby's friends, gets one of her good friends killed, goes through hell and back just to say "Fk it" and doesn't kill the only person who actually mattered to her revenge since she was the one that killed Joel.    … Expand

    Game is solid. Doesn't stand up to the hype. Combat is servicable. Slow and clunky. No one really thought the highlight of the original was the combat system, but it makes a return with minimal improvement. 6/10

    Graphics 10/10, this isn't surprising. It really is the highlight of the game. Everything that's done is mediocre, but you can experince mediocrity with a very pretty back drop.    Game is solid.

    Graphics 10/10, this isn't surprising. It really is the highlight of the game. Everything that's done is mediocre, but you can experince mediocrity with a very pretty back drop. Level design: lures you into a false sense of freedom, but all paths branch from, and converge on conflict areas that are completely unavoidable. There's little to do in the environment, with most exploration only rewarded with resources. Other than resources the only reward for exploration is the games collectables. If you ever wanted a coin/card collecting simulator, this game is for you! 6/10

    Story: hate it. A simple revenge story that could have been entertaining, if the story didn't keep bashing you on the head very well known concepts. Yes, revenge comes at great personal cost... Yes, death and loss is traumatic... Yes, revenge starts a cycle of retaliation... it's almost condescending in it's constant harping on the theme. Almost as if the writers thought they had stumbled onto something new and profound. it falls apart in a final act that feels like all characters just completely lose all pre-conceived concepts and even common sense... and in the final scene it goes from harping on a simple theme, to trying to interject some new motivation that actually needs explaining, but does not. 3/10

    The game continues in the aftermath of Joel’s decision to save Ellie instead of… well, the world. The game explores the consequences of that decision without compromise. The story, in a masterclass of narrative gaming, does not cower or flinch and will steamroll right over your expectations. This will certainly anger some fans (who appear to like their gaming narratives vanilla and predictable and their characters two-dimensional and easy to digest), but that is what makes the experience of the game so exceptional and represents a game that chooses a singular devotion to its themes, setting, and characters, instead of pandering to fans, or anyone else for that matter. It’s a magnificent achievement.

    Thank you Neil Druckmann, Halley Gross, and the rest of the team at Naughty Dog for your commitment to elevating the medium of gaming with every iteration.

    First off I have to say the graphics alone give this game at least a decent score. the mechanics and smoothness of transitioning from one animation to the next again add to a very positive experience. The combat feels super satisfying (besides killing dogs :(( ) and downright impressive. These three things; graphics, mechanics, and combat alone baffle me at why people would give the game anything below a 7.

    Story (no spoilers):
    The big issue people are having with the game is the story. I enjoyed the story a lot. I understand why Abby was so mad and I understood why Joel was so trusting. I understand why Ellie was so stubborn and why the ending was the way it was. Honestly I thought the ending was way to long until the actual very end when I finally understood why naughty dog drew it out. The game left me laughing, yelling, screaming, swearing (with OH $#!T Moments). I ran through the game in three days and I'm definitely going to play it again once a patch comes out for the new console.

    My reasons for why it got an 8 and not 10:
    1) Almost all the missions are pretty similar. Go from point A to point B and kill hunters/zombies on the way. I would have really liked the game to change up some of the missions. Having every mission feel the same left me feeling fatigued at times.
    2) Partner AI. There were many times during my play through when whoever I was with on a mission would either completely block me from evading an enemy, or just downright be visible while I'm sneaking. The second issue doesn't actually effect game play but it does pull me out of the immersion a little considering I'm prone in the grass next to a hunter and my partner is crouched just chilling in the open.
    3) Looting. There is so much looting you have to do if you play the game on moderate difficulty or harder. Basically a 3rd of the game is opening drawers. some times I just wanna blast through enemies. I think a solve to this problem would be cheats for once you beat the game so you can replay a mission fully stacked with unlimited ammo.. That sounds really fun.

    Summary:
    All in all I loved the game and was thoroughly impressed. They brought next gen to current consoles and I think they deserve props for that. The story of revenge claws its way through the game and makes you feel empathetic for both leading characters.    … Expand

I do not know what the Naughty dog ​​thought when they came up with the plot of the second part, but it turned out to be stool! 0 out of 10. There is nothing in this game! And I didn’t even ask for a happy ending! Joel's death was made very fitting in the plot! But what happens next can be called as:"CUT BETWEEN ALL INNOCENTS, BUT AT THE END OF GENTLESS TO THE KILLER." You're just shocked by the ending. This is complete nonsense! This game could be put only 1 point per schedule, but for me the graphics in general are not affected! The main thing in the game is the plot! Which, as you understand, is not there at all. I do not take this part seriously and will never buy a single exclusive from Sony again! So that they spoil me the continuation of god of war and spider man. No thanks! For me, the ending of 1 part remains. I will never take the second seriously, unless an alternative plot.… Expand

    Amazing masterpiece. It’s gross that users are scoring it badly just because of how they felt before the game’s release. PLAY THIS. It might be the best game in the Playstation 4 console.

    Since the gameplay and graphics are great, the game was mainly supposed to be focused on the story, and since it was terribly written, I had to give it a 4

Neil Druckmann disse que seria uma história de ódio/vingança e é isso mesmo, a história é boa, jogabilidade melhor que a do primeiro jogo, as pessoas só não aceitam a morte do personagem querido delas.

    My response will definently be met with ire , because I am a huge fan of the first game. The story is weak compared to the first, but it is not pure rubbish as some have said. Execution of some scenes could have been refined. I only expected Ellie to receive more character development but they did ok for Abby, not much investment in other side characters sadly.Gameplay has only beenMy response will definently be met with ire , because I am a huge fan of the first game.

I do truly recommend buying this game, but with one exception; Don't go in thinking this game is about Joel. This is Ellie's tale. I know many hate how they wrote her in this game , but I do not. My reason is quite simple, Ellie was a young teen in the first game. Here we experience her life after years of violence, lies and tragedies. Something someone shouldn't experience prolonged. That being said my final scoring:
    Story: 6/10
    Character Development: 6/10

    I loved the first game. After waiting years for the sequel, I was severely disappointed. While the graphics and attention to detail are amazing, they are not enough to overcome the disappointing story. You are made to hate a character, then forced to play as that character, one that you have no sympathy for and one that you want to die. It’s no fun and becomes tedious.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think its beyond ridiculous that the low ratings seen for this game are being pinned on premature character deaths or character sexual orientation (get a grip if that's you). If you played the first, watching the brutal murder of Joel from the perspective of ellie truly hurts you to your core, so much so that you might need a break after. The pain of Joel's absence is felt throughout the remainder of the game, even when the credits roll. This creating a driving force for you to progress as ellie and seek the revenge you are hell-bent on seeing through. While some players might be wondering why ellie feels so hurt in Joels murder since we see she finally realised what joel did, this is explained near the end where we see both of them looked towards recovering what was. Only, this was cut short with Joel's death occurring the next day. We then understand that ellie in the finale is not only hurting because of losing what was, but also for what could have been. Now, in regards to abby gameplay, I think this was an excellent strategy for showing there is always two sides to a story. Before, from the last of us 1, I only perceived Joel's act in saving ellie as a gesture showing how far you would go for your family and those you care for, no matter what. But then from abby's perspective, you see the death and destruction caused, which completely devastated all she had and knew. Now aware of both ellie and abby's stories, I found the sequence at the theatre where you (as abby) have to seek out and defeat ellie unsettling. Conflicted isn't a strong enough word to describe my feelings as to who should come out on top.

    This the same as the final sequence. Before, I sympathised with ellie, that abby needed to pay for what she did to joel. this strengthed by the flashbacks to Joel's weak body, battered and struggling to breathe. Yet, as I fought an already broken abby and began close it out by holding her head under the current, I began to wince and wanted it to stop after realising both characters are similar in more ways than I initially thought. It was at this point, the conflict ended and both individuals went their separate ways (thankfully). In a way, some of the negative reviews make a point I can agree with, that the ending feels awkward and unsettling, as ellie tries to play guitar while lacking some of her fingers due to her fight with abby. However, i actually perceive this as naughty dog hitting the nail on the head with how the player should feel after going through this journey. You realise that the pain felt from Joel's death will never leave, the pain will persist forever. Even though abby walks free, you realise that both her and ellie are kindred spirits in a way. Both have been through the ringer, and either one taking out the other will do nothing to fill the massive loss felt within each of them.

    The Last of us 2 has left me with despair on behalf of the ellie and abby losing so much throughout the gameplay. But the resolution from both characters to walk away from this gave me an immense sense of relief that they can both try and move forward. Ultimately, this game made me uncomfortable, hurt, annoyed, frustrated and upset, but in all the right ways. Remember, not every good ending is a happy ending!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my first review ever. I normally don't have time to review games. BUT this game is one of the worst games I have played. The storyline is the issue, a BIG issue. I mean I loved The Last of Us 1. Everything about that game was 10 out of 10. I brought the $200.00 Ellie Collector’s edition, that's how much of a fanboy I am. WASTE of money. No one cares about ABBY! How do you kill Joel in like under an hour into a 25-hour game? I mean if he's going to die, have him go out much better than he did in this trash of a game. When you play as Abby, it's so long and pointless. There's one part of Abby's story where she wants to save some scar person so she goes ALL the way back to the hospital making it so pointlessly boring. They could have added more with Ellie and Joel, but nope lest just play as Abby because people should care about ABBY. WOW, 7 years wait for crap! And it is Crap! It's a WOKE game hardcore. I didn't even finish the game because I'm so bored with Abby's storyline. Killing one of the most beloved people in the game so early and the way he went out, total dumpster fire of a game. I hope people save their $60 and when it goes on sale, Still don't buy it. Such as massive flop!… Expand

    Everything about this game is good. But the story is awful. First Joel's death should been in the middle of the game instead the first 2 hours of it. Second Joel's death is meaningless because ellie doesn't kill abby at the end. So Joel died for nothing. Third you have to play as Abby who just killed Joel so **** that. Lastly **** naughty dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This story doesn't even follow a revenge is bad narrative. It seems to be just a story of random events happening that we're supposed to care for because of the work in character development from the first game.

    Abby got her revenge, showed no remorse for her murders, then got to sail off into the sunset and start a new better life after killing Joel and a bunch of her own people.

    Ellie had absolutely nothing to do with the decisions Joel made killing fireflies, she's just trying to give justice to Abby from her POV. Ellie showed remorse and was traumatized by her actions. Yet in the end it's Ellie who loses everything.

    Can someone please explain the message of this story because I'm confused    … Expand

    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]
