    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spit in the face of everyone who loved the first game. On no green earth is this a good game by any stretch. You are forced to witness the death of a beloved character and then play as the murderer of said character all the while the game wants you to sympathize with them. Then towards the end, Ellie can not even bring herself to take revenge but seems to have no problem killing hundreds of people instead. This game may receive lots of criticism for political reasons, I am just appalled and the disrespect this game showed towards the first one. Would not recommend, save your money folks.… Expand

    Holy god the story was so god awful I waited 7 years for this. I wanted to quit so many times though out the Abby line. Completely devoid of an interesting or satisfying plot. The graphics where okay and the gameplay was the same as always which does get old.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was waiting for a masterpiece, but got one of the worst games. “The Last of Us” was one of the best games I played, the plot of “The Last of Us 2” is one of the most disgusting, it seems, the developers decided to spoil what they created. They took and killed one of the protagonists of the first part of the game, and put another in his place. It’s better to eliminate the heroine herself or her friend ...
    I am sorry for the money spent on this game.
    Currently the worst Sony exclusive.
    My rating for the game:
    Graphics 10
    Gameplay 7
    History 0.
    Since the main thing in the game is the story itself, the result is 0.
    And now it seems impossible to believe the critics, only those who played ... This is clearly seen in another game, where critics smashed the game, and the players liked it. I advise everyone Days gone, to replace The Last of Us 2 ... The game is really good.    … Expand

Often i didn't really knew what was happening either because i was really bored or because it really didn't make sense. Hateful characters, principally the main ones. As for gameplay there was nothing innovating, every Sony game transitioned to this formulated gameplay.
    The Last Of Us Part II is a "game" for people who don't play games and sadly, if this games becomes sucessful, we'll probably be in a very negative place for creativity as developers or players.    … Expand

    This is the first time I have ever given a 0. Who would ever think that what started as one of the greatest franchises ever made with TLOU1 would end up in the drain like this.

Who would ever think that what started as one of the greatest franchises ever made with TLOU1 would end up in the drain like this.

    I am one of the victims of knowing the spoilers before getting the game and was terribly sad to hear it, as I waited in excitement for 7 years to see my favorite characters joel and ellie again, maybe taking on the virus situation, and seeing their relationship grow more and the story progress, possibly finding out more about the world and infected etcetera, the leaks were terrible and I knew they were real, but I still wanted to give the game a fair chance, while all my friends were already full on hating and saying they're not gonna buy the game and that I shouldnt either, I still wanted to try it first anyway, I loved the first game so much, I couldn't not try it.

    However, sadly the leaks are as said, and it is actually worse, I never thought this could be possible, I thought even if I didn't like what they did with the story at least I would still enjoy the game at least for whats left, but I didn't.. The whole experience I was not feeling it, its not like its predecessor, the first game flowed so well and the characters drew you in so easily, it felt realistic and relatable, the story was perfectly paced, here almost everything is the total opposite, I ended up forcing myself to keep playing as I was losing interest early on, then when the dreaded moments from the leaks came into play I just literally despised it, not in a good way like when you hate a movie character because it is played so geniously evil by the actor, but i hated naughty dog, i hate what they have done to this wonderful game, i am all for lgbt, and equality dont get me wrong, i dont mind transexuals or gays nothing, it doesnt matter what someones prefference is or love interest, but you added and forced so many things in this game to the point its not even about the orignal story anymore but something totally different, almost like spinoff. The writing is terrible.

    WHY do you have to include and force this narrative into a story that had NOTHING TO DO with that, sacrificing everything people loved about the first game to make a point, it was about survival, about characters we loved, Joel and Ellie, Joel having such a rough life and but staying strong through all the crap he experienced, meeting ellie, slowly growing to love her as his own daughter, this was wonderful, we wanted MORE OF THIS. It didnt matter that ellie was a lesbian, it wouldnt even matter if joel was gay, do you get it?! but you made the whole sequel focus on this subject, it suddenly has nothing to do with the apocalyptic world and the virus anymore, it just DOES NOT make any sense, it turns into an lgbt driven story about "hate" obviously white male hate and straight hate, Joel.. One of the greatest characters of all time who went through so much, had to be sacrificed for this?? I expected that joel would die in part II, im fine with that, but this? this is SO forced and does not make any sense, it doesnt feel natural like how the story in 1 felt, in the last of us 1 everything felt like it was really just happening as you went on, it was written perfectly, here you just know its forced, it feels like they HAD to include this.They just killed him because hes a strong male. YES JOEL WAS A STRONG STRAIGHT MALE, so what?? He was a good example of a father figure, a strong man who protects his loved ones, who WENT THROUGH SO MAN AWFUL EVENTS BUT STAYED STRONG. I hoped for something like where Joel was Old and now Ellie had to protect him, and that maybe he would die in another way n ellies hands or something, something emotional that we'd love bittersweet. What you did is totally destroy all the potential of a wonderful sequel. The new character is also NOT a good example at all and feels totally forced, its just ridiculous, and actually offensive to the lgbt community.

    WHY the heck did naughty dog let Druckman do this? Why was he not removed at some point by the ceo? Kojima did not deserve to be removed from MGS but Neil Druckman sure did. It's ja slap in the face for all the fans. You let Druckman burn a whole franchise to the ground and turn all the fans who loved the first game against you, let that sink in Naughty Dog... You let him do this so you are also responsible. If all of that wasn't enough yet afterwards you restrict YouTubes talking about the game or giving honest reviews, AND paying for high ratings at review outlets to make sure the game still sells well even if it means deceiving fans. This is unacceptable and you went from my favorite developer to my most hated in a matter of days. I will never buy your games again. Unless maybe you fire Neil Druckman and make a public apology to the fans. Fans have taken **** from developers long enough, but this takes the cake, you get the award for most effed up destructions of a game in gaming history.    … Expand

    Technical-wise it is one of the most well detailed and beautiful looking game naughty dog as produced, and gameplay-wise it improves on the original's formula. That's the only positive thing about it.

    Unfortunately, despite the impressive graphics, somehow the character design and obvious excessive anti-sexualization made the character models somehow look inferior to the seven year older predecessor, intentually making all charcters look more gritty and androgynous.

    And while the gameplay has slightly been improved upon, the game AI, shooting mechanics, and general gameplay formula is nearly identical to the original, which was fairly clunky and outdated even for seven years ago.

    And worse of all is the plot, which is abysmal from every possible aspect.

    Characters are all the same gritty one-dimensional characters, with very few unique and captivating qualities to any of them other than their SJW characteristics (race, sex, sexual orientation). Even Ellie, who used to be an cute sharp-tongue girl is reduced to a rough monotone protagonist that will make you fall asleep.

    The plot seemlying forgets about the infected and randomly remembers that they exists and just throws in random encounters, the vast majority of the game focuses on human survivor wars.

    They force you to play a new transgender character, Abby. Who destroys everything you love about the original. Instead of making her the antagonist, they amazingly make her the protagonist which you play half the game as (possibly more), in order to make you sympathize with her instead, which horribly fails. Playing has her is a chore which you wish to end as soon as possible. In addition previous character motives and behaviors are changed and not consistent throughout the story leading to incredible inconsistencies and plot holes.

    This game is like a Tumbler fan fiction of the last of us, meant to push SJW propaganda and not a sequel to one of video games most beloved games.    … Expand

The graphics are phenomenal and breathtaking, but the game is story driven (supposedly). The story itself is portrayed through the lens of blatant SJW propaganda. Abby even holds a book that is written by David Benioff (Hilariously ironic, right?). To best describe this game, it is basically an onion with infinite layers of **** I feel bad for anyone who had to go through this mess of a game, and Neil Druckmann should be absolutely ashamed of himself for putting out something as pathetic as this game. Also, Lev (portrayed by Ian Alexander) is a known racist, so I don't know why they're portraying this person as a heroic Trans person, when in fact, they're an anti-white pos. This game will be meme'd to death, and will always be known as GoT Season 8: Part 2. Screwing over Joel the way they did and then having Manny (portrayed as Druckmann) spitting on his dead corpse is an insult to this entire franchise. Seriously, who let any of these ideas fall through? This only confirms the 10/10 critic reviews were paid for. Pathetic.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us: Part II is an undoubtedly story-based game. So my review will be focused almost entirely on the story. The gameplay is incredibly similar to the first with added movement options and different enemy types.

    Instead of following in the steps of its predecessor, the sequel throws away much of its character-development, atmosphere, and world-building for the sake of adding a playable antagonist. Despite early news promising the development of Ellie and Joel's bond, the latter is killed in the prologue of the game by said antagonist. Instead of naturally becoming a revenge story, the writers try their hardest to make the player emphasize with Abby - something incredibly difficult to accomplish if the player developed a connection to the protagonists from the first game. Characters close to Ellie die or abandon her unceremoniously throughout the course of the game in scenes that seem more reliant on shock value than good writing. Those who die are always taken out by Abby, and you'll occasionally play as her for these scenes. At the ending, Ellie saves Abby's life before challenging her to one last fight. Despite having two of her fingers bitten off in the struggle, Ellie gets the upper hand and is all set to drown the woman who has taken everything from her. With a brief vision of Joel flashing through her mind, she makes a disappointing decision to let go of Abby and allow her to get away. At the end of the day, Ellie is left with nothing. The player has gained nothing.

    The central issue that pervades the entire story is characters acting unlike themselves. Tommy and Joel give their names and home location to an armed group they just met. Jesse, who has been shown to have a level head, rushed through a closed door into a room that could have had any amount of hostiles. He was, of course, immediately shot in the head and killed. Ellie murdered possibly hundreds in her quest to kill Abby, and not only untied her, but she also challenged her to some strange form of honorable combat before letting Abby go free. It is not good writing. It's characters acting completely unpredictable just for something terrible to happen. It's like they can't create shock value without making someone act like an idiot.

    Lastly, there is no joy in The Last of Us: Part II. Not if you came into it with the previous characters in your heart. Every beloved character is dragged through the dirt constantly with no moments of reprieve. It's one miserable scene after the other. The only "uplifting" moments tend to happen when the player is controlling Abby. At the end of the day, there is no satisfaction for the player. None for Ellie. None for Joel, Tommy, Jesse, or Dina. You don't get your adventure with Ellie and Joel. You don't get your revenge. You don't get a glimpse of the hope for a better future that was present in the first game. It's devoid of hope. The only thing you get at the end of the day is a message that revenge is bad, but it falls flat once you realize that the only person who got their vengeance is the one that came out on top.

    The only people who legitimately enjoyed playing The Last of Us 2, for it's story, are people whose ONLY personality trait is either their gender, sexual orientation, or skin colour.    … Expand

    Overall the games graphics are decent and at the very least better than the last game's graphics. The game-play is at least on par, though QTE's are overdone and not really that fun, maybe in the mid 2000's or even early 2010's it was but not its just an overused "We don't know what to do here so lets slap this in" kind of deal.

The story is overall a dumpster fire. It could've been good even with the characters present but they had to pander to the Left wing twitter mob and the Alphabet soup+ community. If they'd just kept with the old protagonist being gay and going forward with broad questions with no answers like "How do we rebuild soceity?" "What should it be based off of?" and instead of punishing those who embrace religion show that many people may move towards it. In a crisis or post-crisis world that people don't understand they'll inevitably turn towards some greater meaning then themselves. It could've been a neat or interesting arc to explore but they wasted it by pandering. I hope the people who wrote this game never touch a pen and paper again, for nothing they'll ever write will be cared for by the people.… Expand

Just throwing around bricks and other objects to lure enemies away. It falls flat as a stealth game in comparison to other stealth games. The game could have 15 hours like the first game instead of 25. The story is really bad and full of plot holes. It pretty much insults the characters from the first game. Joel dies a lame death, falls into a predictable trap, lets himself get surrounded by people with guns, and trusts people he just met. His death was horrible, wasn't emotional at all, and didn't have a good compelling death like Arthur Morgan. Bad game and an insult to the original. Naughty Dog should not have fire Amy Hennig so that she could have wrote a good story for the game.

    Joel's death was extremely forced and dumb, they could have developed a more complex or interesting storyline for Joel's death but no. He encounters some random people in the forest, gets in the basement of a random house and get killed, just like that, the main character from TLOU1 and probably the main character of TLOU franchise gets killed in the most dumb way. Then you play like half of the game with a character you never heard about and you really don't care.

    Then, you play with Ellie and the whole storyline about "I must revenge Joel's death but my wife doesn't want to so when I came back she was no longer at home" is extremely cliché.

    Oh and by the way, you play hours with Ellie just to finally find Abby and let her go, so you literally played all that for nothing.
