    Terrible game, terrible story, terrible developers. The fact that all the "critics" are giving this game a 10/10 simply to stay in Sony's good favour is disgusting and misleading the player base. Save your money, watch a stream of the game if you are interested. Vote with your wallet.

Naughty Dog horribly messed up this game, and adding on the way that they horribly handled the leaks by filing false & downright illegal copyright claims on anybody they could, this game is just a massive failure and let down. Had the writers at Naughty Dog had a bit more common sense and had they actually used sound story design techniques rather than using some cliche revenge story which has been done a hundred times over, this game would have been in contention for one of the best video games of all time. All that being said the gameplay is what you’d expect from TLOU. I’m not sure what all these “professional critics” were talking about when they said that Naughty Dog had “evolved the gameplay from the first game” as it’s almost a carbon copy from the 2013 original. Many hours of the game can be summed up as a “walking simulator” where the game simply tells you to follow someone or tells you to go from point A to point B constantly with no real gameplay. This honestly could have been better as a movie rather than a game. That being said, the graphics are stunning and the visuals and atmosphere are downright gorgeous. The game is well optimized and runs smoothly with minimal bugs and glitches. The game does a good job of putting you into the world and making you feel like you’re really in the game. Sadly I can’t give this game a high or even average rating. TLOU2 hinges heavily on having a good story to make up for the lackluster and extremely linear gameplay. However it’s really hard for a game in 2020 to be considered good or even great with dated gameplay that almost completely mimics it’s 2013 predecessor, when the whole story, is just one massive, uninteresting revenge story. Had this game had a far more compelling storyline with good character development and at least decent characters, it could have been at least a “good” game.… Expand

    What a horrible game. They had such a great story to work with but completely ruined anything to do with this game. Visual/Sound looks stunning but whoever created the story needs to be fired.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I personally enjoyed the first half of the game, the parts where you play as Eliie. However when the game kept pushing you to feel for this person (Abby) after she killed joel because he killed an extra in the last game I started to lose any passion for the game. However I see why Naughty Dog did it, they wanted to make The Last Of Us Part II enjoyable for people who didn't play the last game, However I believe if they had focused on us (the fans of the original) they would feel less pressured to kill the greatest video game character ever in the first 2-3 hours. I am however frustrated that the game ended with Eliie taking the moral high-ground after killing hundreds of people, killing a pregnant woman and brutal torturing Nora. The whole game Ellie vows to avenge Joel and in the last 10 minuets she changes her mind, this feels like a Cop out and sloppy story writing to me. However I believe the reason for this is Sony wants another Last of us and therefor naughty dog need to leave the game as open as possible (This is mainly shown by the fact we now know there are fireflies out there). Although I do not believe it lives up to my expectations and or live up to the first one, I can not sit here and say The Last Of Us Part II was not an extraordinary because it was, the graphics are impeccable, the gameplay is the best from any video game I've ever played, the acting was of the charts and of course the Story was very good even for naughty dogs standards. (To show that the story was good just think of how you would react if you played The Last Of Us Part II without knowing about Part I, you can not tell me or anyone that you would have enjoyed it, the only reason i gave negative thoughts in this review is because it does not live up to Part I for that reason I rate the game an 8/10. However if Part II was released as a standalone and did not have the expectations we had it could have easily been a 10/10. I should also say I do genuinely believe this game is Game of the year and will be talked about for years, I also expect there will be one more game (to finish the trilogy that's my opinion anyway.)… Expand

    Highly atmospheric and incredibly detailed. The storytelling is impeccably done through utterly outstanding voice acting and mocap. The combat is frenetic, with different strategies applicable to human vs infected enemies. This game is a masterpiece.

    Though at times it feels as if the game is trying to tell a more emotional story with important themes, while leaning too much on gratuitous violence (while understandable for the setting) as if it hasn't grown up too much since 2013.
    None the less, this is a game that doesn't pull it's punches and Naughty Dog have delivered another cinematic adventure, it's definitely an experience that as a fan of video games I'd say is worth playing.

    People hating on it for the themes of identity and sexual preference discussed was sadly way too easy to see coming and my advice is they need to get over themselves and maybe reflect inward.
    Stop rating 0/10 for the sake of it, which then causes people to rate 10/10 to counter it, just skewing the ratings even more -_-    … Expand

    gameplay 6/10, Pretty much identical to the first game, nothing new, relatively outdated

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even though I found the first game a little overrated, i still loved it and was hyped for the sequel, but oh I am so disappointed.

    PROS:

    Visually stunning- some of the character models look a little weird and unrealistic but apart from that this game looks so good.

    Level design and art direction- I actually think this is one thing the sequel does better than the first.

    Acting- Can't complain, acting is great.

    CONS:

    Story- As many have pointed out, the story is appalling (one of the worst in video game history) it just feels like a insult to fans of the original and a big part of the game forces you to play a horrible character.

    Gameplay- gameplay isn't bad but it's just so...meh, like a lot of Naughty Dog games it feels a little clunky and dated at times.

    Ending- probably the worst ending in video game history, made the entire game pointless. Killing Abby would've at least made the game somewhat fine but Ellie keeping her alive made no sense. Ellie kills many innocent people but spares Abby? Makes no sense.

    Characters- Didn't like either old or new characters. Despite being the main character of the first game Joel hardly does anything and acts out of character. Ellie too acts out of character. Abby is so unlikeable yet the games tries so hard to make you like her and I don't want to be forced to like this vile villain. Lev is also a character they fore you to like but he is just not interesting. Jesse's only purpose was to get Dina pregnant and Dina herself is so bland and I just didn't see chemistry between her and Ellie.

    Pacing- Like Uncharted 4 this game outstays it's welcome, it realy drags on. It's about 25-30 hours but should've been about 18-20, we didn't need the long Abby sequences.

    Tone- The game tries so hard to come across as "edgy" and "thought provoking" but it just comes across as narcissistic. Also, it feels like they just added OTT violence scenes for shock value, it forces you to kill dogs and pregnant woman to try and act edgy but it just comes across as misery porn.

    Joel's death- I'm fine with Joel dying (let's face it we all knew he was going to die) I just hate how it happens, it happens in the first 2 hours of the game and after all he's been through he gets killed by a golf club?!

    So that's my review of TLOU2, such a letdown.    … Expand

    I beat the game. What i have to say is that this is a game that can be only appreciated and fully understood if you play it open-minded. The game does not have morals and concepts of what is right or wrong, on what is bad or good. It's actually really hard trying to explain it and you can only feel by playing it, seriously.

    .
    About SJW stuff people are saying, i really didn't notice anything, really. Me and ALL of my friends who played it thought everything to be perfectly fit within its universe and anything felt forced at all. Ellie and Dina relationship felt so natural as her with Riley, and the polemical Mysterious Woman is not a transsexual (not even Gay) like everybody is saying and her ripped body is actually explained within its context. Seriously, i really don't know how can people find this to be "SJW festival" when the entire game is all about violence and killing people, literally. There's not ONE SINGLE line of dialog or face expressions where female characters feel superior or more empowered than male in this game or the contrary, seriously. Not one single thing. The characters kills black men, black women, white women, white men, they kills everybody, It's equally balanced and i can't understand why people are so upset about this.

    But why you have to play it open-minded then? Well, as i said, there are no right or wrong morals here. *No one is a hero and this is a hard and sad world to live in for EVERYONE* (this phrase is very important). Well, basically the game tries to make you understand every side of the story. Characters motivations, Why they did what they did, Their human side, Their empathy capacity on bad/good people and thats it. So people got a misconception of the game thinking this would be a lovely revenge story (yeah, lovely revenge) about Right beating Wrong in a heroic and epic way like every other single game in the market, and they got their mind closed on it. So when they realized what the game is about - a harshly violent, MOSTLY SAD / DEPRESSIVE story with no morals of right and wrong, bad or good where NOBODY is safe and no one is a hero - Oooooooooh boy, you can understand the hate, seriously, if you're reading this and you bad-rated the game because of its story, i can understand you. The game will not satisfy everyone.

    If you identified more of yourself within the love story from the first game and want to play Part II, don't. Stay in the first game. If you do it, you MUST play tihs willing to understand every side of the coin here and have a minimum ammount of empathy for everyone, including people you *think* are the bad ones. hence the open-minded thing i'm talking about.

    I give it a 8 because i feel like there could be more of it, you know? They could push everything much harder to cause more impact, because i sadly didn't feel much empathy about its characters as i wanted to. I cried in the end, yeah. But not because of the depressive ending or anything, but because i wasn't able to feel it, and i know the potential is there even though i can't find it. But i'm willing to try it again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have no problem with they kill Joel or play as Abby. I enjoy most of the game about 20 hours. But last 4 hours when they Abby fights with Ellie and we play as Ellie. I literalty say outloud WTF! Why? Why? Why devs want me to play as Abby against Ellie? And after the boss fights end she let us go? Why she did that? We killed her boyfriend. Joel killed her father. She has all the motives that she could kill Ellie as she did Joel. But anyway she let us go. it is a huge gap. Then Ellie all of a sudden times jump after 1.5 year. She settled down with Dina and baby. But why??? She killed your father figure in front of you. No human being is not react or passed it away. They will hold a grunge until the rest of their lives. I honestly get excited after Tommy showed up and ignite the fire inside of her. But that ending boss fight and we let her live. WHY! I hate the last 4 hours. Huge gaps. Why she travel about 4-5 months to get Abby then she let her go. Before the last battle starts. she see joel's death face as memory. then she start fight after 2 minutes. JUST 2 minutes... She was about the drowned her but She remember the Joel playing as guitar. Then she let her go! Why she has done that. Where is the motive in that. I asked why. Neil and Halley (West World Writer) are okey with that part. The last 4 hour why did you messed up your charcters build up. There are huge huge gaps. I will never ever play this game again. Because even though you think that you did a very good job in the game. You just messed up it totaly. You promised us a ''Revenge'' story She didnt get her revenge from Abby!! And last fight Abby was her weak state and we attacked her with knife. And you devs are want to feel sorry for Abby! NO WAY! You sir and madam! You are not aware that how writing should be consistent and how chracters should be behaved in their motives. IF you want to do realistic story telling. Then focus the motives of the chracters. 20 hours they were consistent and that 4 hours was whole bunge of mess!… Expand

Oh let's kill the bad guy at the end because that's what everyone does and will make people happy. The games' story to make you feel for the so-called villain is amazing by itself. You start to realize that Ellie and Abby are the same parallel characters trying to avenge the death of someone they love. The fact that Naughty Dog forces you to play as Abby to add that layer of sympathy for her once you see why she is doing what she's doing is amazing. People need to get over Joel's death JOEL and I repeat JOEL WAS NEVER THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THIS GAME!!!!! If you thought that then I'm sorry for you all the official trailers show this game was an Ellie game, not a Joel game. People just want the same rinse and repeat good guy wins by killing a bad guy but I'm glad Naughty Dog went that route shows more to do so and gives you more emotion and makes you think. I guess 2020 people don't want to put their own aspect on things. Thank you Naughty Dog for one of the best games if not best game I ever played.… Expand

The scenery in this game is beautiful. It is highly detailed, mechanically consistent, and a testament to how hard they worked.

    For this reason alone, this game does not deserve a one star. It is a good game. Perhaps, based on this alone, it deserves at least 3-stars.

    What is left to be judged is the story. If you're reading this, I highly recommend you play the game yourself no matter what you read here and form your own opinion. Many people are leaving bad reviews based on an early event that leaves feeling players betrayed or "shoved SJW ****

    Naturally, players will be angry and leave bad reviews for this, but again this game does not deserve that. The circumstances that happen in-game are believable and real. The story is just as real as the first game. It is surprising, frustrating, depressing, fun, and so much more.

There are 3 criticisms people have for this game, and only 1 of them is legit. Here are the two faulty criticisms:

    1. It has LGBT values. They're not "in your face," if someone says that, they missed the point. Ellie being into girls is established early to get it over with, and comes up occasionally to drive her decisions early game (to accept help from a certain character on her journey). Another character is trans but doesn't go into it. Another character literally avoids asking about it out of respect and realizing it's not the appropriate time. Then they move on. Done.

    2. The "story was bad." It wasn't. It didn't completely blow me away, but it was solid. Not gonna spoil anything, but some people wanted a little too much to see certain characters die horrible deaths on screen. I think the character choices made a lot of sense and shows a lot of growth. A lot of people had issue with some early story choices with Ellie and Joel, but the writing as on the wall. You know it had to go down this way.

    THE ONLY REAL CRITICISM: The game is just more The Last of Us. No more, no less. The combat is the same. The dialogue is the same. The characters think and act the same. The game even looks the same (still beautiful and horrible). Nothing new is on display. It's functional, and fun most of the time. The characters are all written well, but at the same level as the first game. No big surprises, no "game of the decade!" twists. Just a solid story about loss, revenge, and pain. That's it. If you like the first one, you'll like the second. If you except the game to open a hole in the sky and deliver a divine message of hope and wonderment: you're looking in the wrong apocalypse.    … Expand

This game is a chore to play and just when you thought in the end ,you would have the satisfaction of killing the villain to avenge the character that made the original good, you get a "change of heart" trope thrown at you. And what about the 100s of people you killed trying to get to Abby, don't they matter? the message of this game is unclear, but hey you're a bigot transphobe anti-SJW, racist if you don't like this game right?… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game, and to be honest it isn't what i expected. A lot of people throw garbage to the game, specially giving a solid 0, but it deserves better than that if we took as consideration, the gameplay, the graphics and some elements that made the first TLOU so epic. However i didn't understand why to go so far in the history to tell a history of revenge? (Which was never done by Ellie), just to let go Abby, after all she done to her.
    This is so upsetting. When i started playing this, i said "OH BOI" at least i was prepared to see a few characters die that we met in TLOU, but i didn't expect they kill Joel like trash, wich is one of the other things i'm upset, i tough Joel will be a playable character, or even a NPC in the game, but no, the only thing you sell was Joel diying as it was nothing.
    Ok... Despite of that, i was willing to keep playing because i was sooooo impatient to get my hands on Abby to forgive her...? I mean WTF, after that i tough "i was cheated".
    I must say the devs of the have my gratitude, the mechanics of the game are so buffed, and making the weapons and some objects with limited durations was a lot of challenge included that you always had to get inside of a building or look around to get some loot, anyways. I talked with my friends about the game and it was mixed opinions, but honestly i didn't believe them because no one of them have a PS4, so i lend the TLOU 2 to my cousin to play the game, and we feel them same, the worst part... He didn't even play the 1st TLOU, and said that the history was garbage. Some people told me, that i didn't understand the entire game, that i'm dumb as f**** so i got no idea of the "excelent masterpiece" that game was, but to be honest i think you don't have to understand something to ENJOY the game. So outside of the history the game was good, like a 5 o 6, but this game is one of those that you only have a history to tell, so if the entirely plot (Not only the final), is so bad tasting, what else is left to give? I hope the next year Naughty Dog says that this was ruse and the real TLOU 2 is still developing.
    From this i can conclude 3 things.
    1.- This isn't the real TLOU 2.
    2.- They give this bad game to make 3rd one "more interesting".
    3.- They planned to end all this ini the 1rst TLOU with and open ending, but due to the creative ideas, between writers they make tthis poor plot lack of consistency.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains a great deal of spoilers. Read it at your own caution. I will try to not specifically spoil things in particular with particular detail, but I will give a rough outline of the way the story is structured.

    My problem with the Last of Us 2 is not in Ellie being a lesbian or Dina being bisexual or in Lev being a transman. I found the area of Seattle with Pride flags to be, well, pretty normal considering it's Seattle. I found the fact that the two women in a lesbian relationship not understanding "what's with all the rainbows" was self-aware, funny, and a moment of levity. The little novel you can find in the bookstore that is lesbian erotic has a description on the back that is self-aware and humorous and makes fun of cliches about college lesbian experiences. These things are done just fine and I don't particularly feel any way about them in particular. Whether or not you care about these things... they're mostly minor. Mostly. Except for one character's backstory, though that character's backstory is never forced down your throat and I feel they could have even been more subtle with it.

    My problem is how the game treats revenge, Ellie, Joel, and the player, as well as the order of events.

    The game is broken into 4 main sections. The intro, two main halves, and the conclusion. Sort of like an essay, almost. The problem is that something that happens in the introduction involving a major character death has almost zero context and had I gone into the game completely unspoiled, I'd have been outraged at this death. This major character is a survivor. Someone hardened and wizened to the cruelty of the world. This character saves someone from danger and in return, when they reach safety, this major character introduces themselves plainly without any paranoia and with full trust while at the mercy of other people. This major character should not have done this and it is completely out of their character. They are then promptly killed. With the context as to why, it makes sense. But the game does not supply this context until more than halfway through the game.

    In Ellie's section of gameplay, we get flashbacks of her growing up with Joel after they've settled in Jackson. Their relationship develops, and in the final flashback from her half of the game, her relationship with Joel becomes incredibly rocky. We do not see how her relationship with Joel stands at the start of the game until we get cutscenes from the night before the start of the game.

    The game should begin like so for a more clear and understandable setup. We would see flashbacks for the character who kills a major character to understand their motivation. Then we see Ellie growing up some. Then we alternate between flashbacks for Ellie and the killer so as to understand how they've grown and changed and become who they are. Then we start the game and lead up to the major character death. This would make things so much more understandable on both sides and a lot more straightforward instead of contrived and feeling very retcon-y.

    The killer's gameplay sections are interesting much like Ellie's and the relationships that they develop along the way are fine on their own. I found them a bit lacking compared to the dialogue between Ellie and Dina and Jesse, but I also found them more than serviceable and had little issue with that.

    This final paragraph contains a LOT of spoilers. You are warned. All I will say now is that the conclusion of the game is unsatisfying and horribly written.

    Ellie does not kill Joel's killer. She is about to kill her and spares her. Ellie returns home and Dina has left her and taken her baby with her. Ellie has lost everything. Instead of making this a chance to contemplate whether or not Ellie killing Abby was worth it if it cost her everything, she doesn't get revenge for Joel at all, and Abby escapes off to Catalina Island with no consequences for her actions. Joel had consequences for what he did, I don't deny that. But Ellie was justified in wanting to kill Abby. The game does try to make things morally gray, but it does so very poorly. And I found myself suffering fatigue from the story after a while. It was dragged on for so long. It felt unnecessary in many places. It sheds the best parts of the first game and how its characters interacted and it did so for a revenge story, which can be amazing (Kill Bill, Django Unchained, etc.) but the opportunity was squandered and the game is unsatisfying.

    A rogue group of Firefly remnants kidnapping Ellie and Joel trying to save her would have been a better story. Or just even having Ellie kill Abby would have made the game much better, sincerely speaking. I wanted to enjoy this game. I wanted it so badly. But I barely enjoyed anything in it apart from the somewhat improved combat and the beautiful scenery.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay, visuals and soundtrack are all fantastic. If this review was based purely on those it would be a 10/10.

    However, the story of this game is complete and utter trash. It would have been mediocre if it was simply about getting revenge and actually finishing it. It's so incredibly dumb that they force you to play as Abby for about half the game. When I had finally finished playing through Seattle as Ellie, I was relieved because it felt like a chore the entire time. I was expecting it to end in the theater, and for there to be some half assed ending.
    When I instead realized that I had to play through Seattle from Abby's perspective, I nearly quit playing. I took a break for a few hours and decided that I was just going to play it through since I had already bought and downloaded the game, and there was no way for me to refund it.

    Oh my god. Was that supposed to be entertainment? If playing through Seattle as Ellie felt like a chore, this was like being in a concentration camp. Did they really think we would begin to like Abby? The new character who murdered the best part about The Last of Us part one? They really gave us 10 minutes of backstory and expected us to somehow start sympathizing with her? Holy **** I can't even begin to fathom how this **** played itself out in the writer's room. What Neil Druckmann did here is without a doubt a worse murder of a franchise than what D&D did to Game of Thrones.
    And Yara and Lev? These characters are just worthless. I felt no connection to them whatsoever.

    I've waited for this game for 7 whole years, and I can't even describe how disappointed I am. I feel so god damn bad for the developers who did an outstanding job on this game in every aspect, only to have it be ruined by TERRIBLE writing. Also, the fact that Neil wrote himself into the game only to spit on the body of Joel is a beautiful metaphor of how out of touch Neil is. Everything he touches turns to **** The change in direction he forced on Uncharted 4 made the people who made the last 3 leave. He went so far up his own ass to sniff his own farts that he's currently inside out. It's insane. The absolute gall of that man, to come onto the development of TLOU2, kill everything that was good about it, and then spit on it's corpse. It's beyond belief.

    Everything in this game felt like a forced lecture. No, I don't want to play a video game during a global crisis to learn about how bad revenge is, and how it gets us nowhere. I want to avenge Joel and be done with the **** game.

    My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. Good job Neil, you ruined one of my favorite games of all time with your abhorrent writing. I don't even **** care about the LGBTQ+ characters, whatever. If you think it's a good idea to add more of those to broaden the acceptance of that, that's fine by me. I do, however, think you did that community a disservice with your abhorrent, terrible, utter horse**** writing of these characters.

    **** this story. **** everything about it. From start to finish.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Must tell, I haven't played the game, because I do not own PS4. But I have seen a YouTube clip with all the story elements, 11 hours straight, heard some of the opinions. And also, I consider myself a fan of a first game.

    I would like to begin with something good.
    As I have seen, the game has an amazing level of graphics, detail, sound, and design. This is something worth admiring but is it the reason why would people want to buy it? Not really.
    The gameplay turned out to be a slight improvement of the first game. More moves in fighting sequences, free-roaming in a semi-open world.

    But everything is pretty minor because the real gem is always the story in that type of games. And we have a serious problem here. The main character of the first game, Joel, dies in a really stupid way, even I can see that. Too rushed, to dumb, too convenient for the new scenario. They made it bad, dramatic as heck, and pretty much pointless. I am not going to judge the dialogues, some of them are a bit cringy in my opinion, that is rather subjective, so out of the picture.
    Then Jesse. It was a wonderful character, I can even see his appearance make a good impact after Joel's death. But the thing is, he dies like he is nothing. Another loved character who we would love to know better dies. Again, Abby. Oh, and she shot Tommy in the face (but he survives). It seems like she is apex predator, kicks asses of every good guy. They made her look so bad, that you are starting to hate her. The story overall is a bit on the longer side, but they do not use that length to do something good with the whole game. When the people who were in the room when Joel is getting killed die, I felt nothing, like at all. They tried to give us some drama about it, but in the end, even when she kills a pregnant woman, she shakes it off easily, so why should we bother?
    Then, when Abby did everything bad she could, we play as her. I was disgusted, have no better word. I did not care even a bit about her, after the bonds we made with our good characters. And to justify her all we see is that Joel killed her father, who, apparently, is the only person who can make a cure (let's be honest, its rather a vaccine, but it has questionable effectiveness, it's spores after all).
    The ending is something worth mentioning. The final fight is supposed to be intense but turns out to be just trash. Nothing enjoyable. After Ellie saw a Joel flashback, she just let go Abby, the girl she was after for so long because she crippled Tommy, beat her up, nearly kills Dina, kills Jesse and Joel. Oh, and she bit off 2 fingers like a minute before that. Why let her go? Who knows.
    After she has finished, she returns to the farmhouse, where is Dina supposed to be with a kid, but finds nothing. She leaves Joel's guitar in the house and goes into the woods.
    After everything I have seen, I do not see here 7 f*cking years of work.    … Expand

    Heartbroken by it all but what a game. So many people hating on the story direction but overall I think the gameplay, graphics and world that has been built is incredible. I’m devastated by the story but equally loved it. Horrifically bittersweet and never thought I would sob at a computer game and yet multiple times I sobbed. Was like playing characters in a huge budget movie

    The Last of Us 2 at the story level is a disappointing game, since it is a victim of the politically correct that is lived today, falls into stereotypes and the death of Joel is so ridiculous and silly that it gives shame to others, but of course Elie during the game it can kill 500 people but in the end the message is that "violence brings more violence" LOL .. well I recommend this gameThe Last of Us 2 at the story level is a disappointing game, since it is a victim of the politically correct that is lived today, falls into stereotypes and the death of Joel is so ridiculous and silly that it gives shame to others, but of course Elie during the game it can kill 500 people but in the end the message is that "violence brings more violence" LOL .. well I recommend this game for people who have not played the first one, Bruce Stranley I miss you they have ruined your work ..… Expand

    The graphics are good but if I wanted to see good graphics I would not play this game .
    Also, metacritic keeps removing votes and i think it is not democratic to do so.

    Графика и физика почти идеальны, но геймплей очень скучен, от первой части геймплей по минимуму отличается. Сюжет просто кошмарен, никакой мотивации, новые герои полный ноль.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beyond disappointing. Story is awful. The relationship between Joel and Ellie mainly consists of her yelling at him. Joel barely appears in the game , and Ellie is unlikeable in this game. I hated this game. It ruined everything good in the first game. Ellie is left with nothing. As am I. Don’t buy this game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 7 years of waiting. And now such disappointments.
    Excellent technical solutions. The game uses all the resources of the PS4 to the full. The graphics are almost perfect. If you don't look closely. Cyclical movement of grass, cyclical ripples. But still, the PS4 imposes a restriction, so this is excusable.
    The gameplay remains the same, new mechanics make it more exciting, but it is still the same as in the first part. The gameplay was not the most important in this game, but the main story and characters. That's where the problems start.
    The whole message of the game is so superficial, so petty, that it does not cause emotions, sympathy or empathy for these single-celled heroes. In the first game, you empathize with Joel and Ellie. They develop, find common ground, become close. In the second part, this completely disappears. Their experiences just start to irritate with their idiocy. The only thing that causes emotion is Joel's stupid death. Then the meaning is simply lost in these petty experiences, faceless and flat characters. The end of the game... I should have tried to think of something dumber. It is clear that any killer has feelings, life... So let's forgive EVERYONE now. What kind of limited morality?!
    I don't understand why there are so many AI dithyrambs? He's terribly stupid. Locations where there are hostile people, pass sitting in one corner, killing one, the rest resort to it. And you take turns shooting them in the head. Very interesting, that's sarcasm. It's cool of course that they react with screams to the death of their partners, but it doesn't touch. Since after 2 seconds, the one who is grieving also dies from a shot in the head.
    If the plot was interesting, it could be forgiven... But the game has outdated gameplay and no interesting story. This is not what we expected. Perhaps if you do not pass for 3 days before the release of the second part of the first, it is not so striking, but this is a weak excuse for the game that was waiting for 7 years. Complete disappointment.
    I think the game is adequate to the assessment of 6/10. This is very sad as was expecting a masterpiece and got podelco.

    Pear told me that after he played this game grapefruit tried to have gay anal sex with him just like the main characters in this game. Grapefruit is now in prison and pear is receiving intensive therapy because of the trauma it caused him.

    I've never played a game that made me feel so many emotions and took me on such a fantastic journey of storytelling and gameplay. Was it worth a 7 year wait? You bet your ass it was, and I'd wait another 7 for another one!

    The game is amazing on the gameplay.; best graphics I have seen in this generation, although the story is good, it does not live up to the last of us part 1, and many may hate the approach naughty dog took, but me personally I didn’t mind it that much

    A politically progressive story that no one wanted.
    Its so bad the original game feels tainted now. Graphics are good, game play hasn't changed much at all. And no the low user scores are not from "bots" or "homophobic" people.
    They are from real gamers who care about games with a passion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disclaimer I thought more about this than I should and vented twice to my parents, (who don’t play games) I am grading this purely on the story. The visuals are beautiful the clickers and stealth gameplay are still pretty fun, even if the AI are **** dumb or dead eye shots on and off. The story was absolutely trash that is why i am grading this and hopefully helping someone save 60 dollars and 20 plus hours of their life
    I knew they were going to kill Joel, because god forbid they make a second game with both characters. But the fact they **** this up this Badly is mid boggling.
    I liked the first 10hrs with flash backs of Joel
    Why didn’t they keep doing that AND MAKE JOEL PLAYABLE IN THOSE PARTS.
    Instead they make you play half the game as a character I actively want dead and follow a **** redemption arc, for what? You think it’s going to make me like her? It didn’t. I wanted her dead from beginning to end. Then you make me use her to fight Elle?
    Absolutely trash.
    Then I thought they were going to save it at the very end and kill her and they **** it again to just end Elle by herself minus 2 fingers. This is as absolute trash story telling as the last episode of Dexter.
    I would have given this game a 0 for story but for people who don’t care about Joel or Elle they may enjoy the mechanics and style of game play.
    “What I had to do” achievement for beating the game
    SHE DIDNT KILL ABBY!
    If you DID love the Last Of Us, DONT BUY THIS GAME.

    Woke politics and video games do not belong together. I don't understand why companies keep pandering to people who don't care about video games. They only care about their delusional agenda being pushed. It's sad that more and more companies keep crumbling to these SJW bullies and their army of shill media.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After spending a full three days playing it from start to finish. I got to say that this has been one of the best games I’ve played in years. The visuals are phenomenal, the story was engaging and at times nail biting seeing how they were able to kill off Joel so easily it gave me the fear that anyone could die at anytime. I didn’t feel like there was any plot armor throughout the entire time. This truly was a part 2 as it tied into the ending of TLOU 1 and expanded upon on it in TLOU 2. I will definitely be playing TLOU 2 again since the areas you explore as either Ellie or Abby were so expansive I know I didn’t get everything in order to get the platinum trophy.Good workNaughty Dog… 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]
