    When Neil druckmann said "we don't use the word fun" he REALLY wasn't kidding. Tlou2 is a betrayal to the original game's character, story, and fans. I should have listened to the rumors. i'll just pretend that this game doesn't exist

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Save your money. This game will be available used and steeply discounted in the very near future.

    Beautiful graphics can't save this absolutely terrible story. So many plot holes. Most of the character decisions make no sense. Seems that it was written to be divisive for the sake of being divisive. The bait and switch tactic of using new character models in trailer scenes to make you THINK the game is going to involve certain characters is a straight up lie. ND only preying on your feelings for the first game to get you to purchase the second. I genuinely feel sorry for everyone else who pre ordered this game. The only lesson this game taught me was that i will never pre order anything from NaughyDog. I laughed when i first heard about the leaks, thinking there was no way they could be true. It was. It's written like some kind of awful fanfic set in an alternate universe.

    The ending isn't even satisfactory. You will just sit there, staring at your TV thinking "why the heck did i just go through all of that"    … Expand

    Could have been a great continuation of the legendary first part. The whole thing was spoilt by the way that the radical feminist movement influenced the plot, the appearance of the characters and consequently the general impression of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the first one, but what they did with this one is utterly pathetic. What they did with my man Joel was despicable. The story was filled with clichés and an extraordinary attempt to pass a political agenda. Politics shouldn't be part of any game. It was all over the place and ruined the characters we loved. The threemance was obnoxiously bad, Abby was terrible and the zombies were almost nonexistent.

    The ambience and music were subpar, especially compared to the previous game and the gameplay was extremely boring. The graphics looks like Switch graphics, which is weird for a naughty dog game. In addition, the length of the game is unfulfilling. I regret buying this and I advice every one to not waste their money on this.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. По геймплею игра как всегда хороша. Оружие чувствуются,звуковое сопровождение на уровне. Только правда система стелса от прошлой части не далеко ушла.Много внимания к деталям,неплохая графика (Ну этим сейчас никого не удивишь).Игра неплохая,но по сравнению с прошлой частью,она нечем не выделяется. Нету чего-то революционного,в некоторых аспектах даже хуже прошлой части. Так почему же 4 ? Тут всё просто. У них был большой простор для раскрытия сюжета,но они превратили это в что-то слиииишком убогое. По большей части это заслуга "Подружки" Нила Дракмана. Анита Саркисян,та из-за которой по части игра получилось такой убогой. Краткий экскурс кто это: Анита Саркисян — канадско-американская феминистка, критик СМИ, блогер и публичная персона. Основательница веб-сайта Feminist Frequency. Уже увидели слово "Feminist"? Ага,в этом половина игры. На каждом шагу ЛГБТ Феминизм и тд. К примеру в одной из начальных сцен Элли назвала мужика "Шевенистом" из-за того что он сделал замечание по поводу поцелую в людном месте Элли и Дины. Шовини́зм — идеология, суть которой заключается в проповеди национального превосходства с целью обоснования «права» на дискриминацию, эксплуатацию и угнетение других народов. И всё этим прям пропитано,на следующий день мужичок просит прощения перед Элли и даёт ей бутерброды,после чего она отдают их со словами "Забирай эту шовенистскую еду". Вообще очень странная хрень. В начале игры они говорят что поцелуй ошибка,потом через час геймплея они накуриваются марихуаной и сосутся опять. Потом сцена с полуголыми Диной и Элли которые лежат в обнимочку. Честно говоря, уже после этого мне захотелось выключить игру. Но так как мне нравится The Last Of Us,я продолжил играть. Я не скажу что прям всё очееень плохо. Но не то что я ожидал от The Last of Us...… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worst game EVER! The first game was about the relationship between two characters: Joel and Ellie. This part introduced way too many unnecessary new characters that only complicated the story and deviated from the evolution of Joel and Ellie. The whole game was about the cycle of revenge. Abby kills Joel, and Ellie set on a journey to kill Abby. While she kills hundreds of people just to get to Abby, she gets the epiphany that killing won't change anything. Excuse me? What about the hundreds that Ellie Killed just to get to Abby? They're just unimportant I guess. I just don't understand what is the point of the second part. The first game ended and let the players decide for themselves whether Joel did the right thing or not. However, the second part assumes that Joel's decision is wrong, and it's just a big f*ck you to all the people who thought Joel did right by Ellie. And who's Abby again, the unrealistically muscular daughter of a worthless NPC from the first part. Everything felt forced in this part just to demonize some characters and try to push Druckmann's ideas of what is right and wrong. As a true lover of the first part, The Last of Us had ended at the point where Ellie said "okay." This part is just a spin-off and is not even close to the first part story-wise. The game is fantastic on level design, sound, and graphical fidelity, which is something I expected from ND developers. But Druckmann needs to leave ND if Sony wants this studio to continue. Otherwise, Druckmann will bring ND demise!… Expand

    To bs honest, everything that made TLOU fun was just thrown to the trash. The naughty dog you knew that made the first game is just gone. 20 hrs of story that in the end you'll wonder why you even bought the game. 60£ went to the trash

    No doubt that when looking at the technical level, the game is an achievement, it's graphics/audio and atmosphere are ground breaking, but the first game didn't become a masterpiece for that, but for it's story, and that's where part 2 completely fails.

The core message that the story tries to send also fails in every possible level. Such wasted potential.… Expand

    The Last of Us 2 is the worst game I've ever had the pleasure of not playing. It fails to live up to it's predecessor in every single way, especially the story. This game is not just disrespectful to the franchise and the fans, but also to the gaming industry as a whole. We're better than this. Quite possibly the worst AAA game of all time.

    Only the first one hour out of the total 20+ hours of playtime is actually good. Thus, I would have rated it 0.5 if possible. After the first hour of gameplay, the story takes a nonsensical turn. There were plenty of other ways to continue Joel and Ellie's story, for example looking into the origin of the virus and a possible cure without killing Ellie.

    the only positive/improvement in the game is the difficulty levels, giving the player a huge number of options about how they’d like to play. There’s no “easy mode” or “hard mode,” but rather a collection of settings you can turn up or down.

    You can adjust your allies’ health, for example, or increase the number of items Ellie finds while scavenging, while still leaving the enemies just as strong. Or you can go in the opposite direction, and decide you want to fight more able enemies and find fewer resources. If one encounter’s giving you trouble, you can bump enemy strength down right then and there, then change it back.
    That’s honestly the only positive aspect of Part 2, everything else regarding writing, world building, characters development old or new, gameplay, is seriously terrible, only other thing that might be positive is the multiplayer, which isn’t released yet.

    how you gonna make us go through the entire game hell bent on getting revenge while making some questionable decision along the way. Only to have redemption taken away from us right at the end because ellie realizes at THAT! point that the revenge cycle needs to be broken here. Are you kidding me? Abby got her revenge and then some only to have her be shown mercy by ellie. Ellie loses joel, almost looses dina to slaughter, tommy gets shot in the face, jesse gets shot in the head and dies and then ellie leaves dina and their child, loses 2 fingers and all this is directly done by Abby so why in the flying F** should ellie show mercy? Honestly made so mad and disappointed at the end while the credits rolled. I couldn't believe I did all that just for some meaningless self realization of "revenge not being fulfilling".    … Expand

This game comes across as a needlessly morbid revenge plot where at the end of the story the character doesn't even get revenge. The game starts out in the first few hours killing off one of the two main characters from the original game in a way that doesn't make any sense with the character themselves. The character would never have put themselves in a situation like the game devs killed them off in. 10/10 reviews of this game are a complete joke, the devs faked game trailers leading consumers to believe this game would be something it is sadly not… Expand

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.
