I feel scammed and anybody saying they had fun playing this game is in denial and desperately justifying the waste of sixty dollars that this game is. Don't bother with this sequel. Expand

    Without a doubt the best Naughty Dog game, and one of the best games ever. The review bombing is completely unjustified and frankly embarrassing.

    Gameplay wise the game is a huge step up from the first game, it's more intense and far more visceral, especially melee combat which feels meaty. Small additions like being able to go prone open up lots of possibly for stealth, being able to crawl under cars, lay in grass to avoid patrols really opened up your options. The game also feels far more responsive than other games going for this hyper realistic style, gameplay was not sidelined for realism. As with all Naughty Dog games there were also many amazing set pieces with intense action sequences that got the adrenaline pumping.

    Visually it's a masterpiece, the cut scenes especially were fantastic. The animations were just on another level, which made the game feel so much more realistic, the tiniest details were paid attention to and it made a big difference overall. The lighting, textures, shadows, character models and particle effects were all so well done, the developers didn't leave any of the PS4s power on the table, and they did it all without too many performance drops.

    The audio was top-notch, with industry leading voice work and some of the best atmospheric sounds I've ever heard, which helped the gameplay feel beyond intense at times, certain areas were legitimately terrifying. One small touch which I loved was the fact enemies called out names when you killed their friends, it made them seem more real, instead of just random NPCs.

    The story was excellent, with some truly heartbreaking moments and lots of little stories interwoven throughout. You got to see the other side of the story in a way that's rarely the case, which made you reflect on your decisions and made you ask yourself "am I the bad guy?".

    Overall The Last of Us II is a masterpiece, and a game you definitely should play, unless you have a problem with a gay lead, like the people review bombing one of the best games ever made ;)

Last of Us 1 was a bleaker survival game, but after every period of hopelessness there were wonderful and touching moments.
    This game has NOTHING for stretches of 5-10 hours. This game feels like it was made by a movie studio trying to win an Oscar, but in the end NOBODY loves the game, not even the intended audience. People deem it playable compared to releases of unfinished games which plague the industry. The game is a slog to go through.
    Zero fun, 1/10 would not play again, and I don't think anybody will replay it for their own enjoyment.

So lets get on to the real problem with this train-wreck of a game. THE STORY IS GARBAGE! Nothing about this game is redeemable. It falls so short of what made the first game magic. The first game will forever be one of my favourite games of all time, but this sequel is an absolute disservice to loyal fans. This was a story not worth telling and it was a terrible story. Such a waste of time and money. Just when I thought 2020 had given us enough bad things, this game had to come along.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has a good story telling path. Some complain about the linear gameplay but it is easier then the first game.

    Spoilers:
    Some people complain about it being SJW agenda; but there isn't very much. There is a lesbian couple that is tye main character, then you have a transgender side-character near tye end of the game. People assume from pre-release "leaks" that the protagonist is also transgender but the game does not confirm nor deny that. Based on my opinion, it would be impossible for the main protagonist to be transgender in the world they live in with no medical labs or medicine to take for transition.
    I don't like how the game ended. Im left questioning the reason for the "third part" and what lessons were to gain from it. I plan on playing a second time thoroughly as my initial run I had sprinted through all the enemy AI.

After hours of being wokedified it tries to have a story only to destroy key aspects of past characters. 3 hours in I just quit. Anyone wanna buy it real cheap. No, for real. Like Anthem cheap.

    There is a saying in Hollywood that "If you want to send a message, use Western Union."

    If you want only people who like you to play your game, that's fine.

    But if you need people who don't personally know you to play your game and care, you need to spend less effort on how to control their review process but broaden your craft.

    You can manage your self-image by not allowing your peers and subordinates to talk trash to you, and most of the time, they won't.

    But you cannot control others' expectations of you the same way, because they are not paying for you to have your amusement made, but a good story that they can relate.

    Maybe my expectation of the game is the result of me getting older, but so should the craftsmanship of game developers.

What made the first game so epic and amazing was having Ellie attached at the hip, creating a dynamic that everyone fell in love with. It was such a good dynamic that they tried to replicate it with god of war. Not only did they undo that dynamic by separating them and spitting on their relationship the entire game and claiming Ellie “doesn’t need” Joel, but they then kill Joel in a way that was completely unbecoming of his established character. Joel is a man who has walls of trust issues. The idea that he would walk into a room and tell people his given name and where he lives is insane. To then have Ellie go on to kill hundreds for the sake of revenge to then not kill the person ACTUALLY responsible? Expand

This just shows how much influence Halley has had on Neil and how much she doesn't know a thing about Joel. Only youtubers and famous people are rating it high, and I think that shows something...I tried so hard to like the story and love the ending but every time I think of Joel it's like a part of me died.

    Honest Score: 4/10

    Detailed:
    Graphics: 9/10. Beautiful graphics, the most you can get out of a PS4 probably.
    Gameplay: 3/10. Controls are great and have been improved from the first part, but the game itself is dull and repetitive. TLOU was a difficult game, but its difficulty was for the right reasons, this game is too easy for all the wrong reasons.
    Story: 0/10. Getting to the point. Story is chaotic, has plot holes and is full of random rationalization of unconnected events.
    There are 3 thing I hate in this world: homophobia, misogyny and lack of empathy. There are 3 thing I hate even more: rainbow washing, pink washing and justification of bad acts based on personal traits. Guess which 3 this game has.
    Music: 4/10. This point may suffer from the comparison with TLOU, in the first game the music was awesome, in this one... is not.

    Bottomline: 4/10 when graphics are 9/10 means the game is horrible, it's just not worth it.
    It's great they have put all the accessibility features they did, it's a shame they didn't do it in a game people would actually enjoy.
    The game is already a failure. Don't you love when just being trendy doesn't pay the bills? I sure do.

    They killed off the characters, in the dumbest way possible. The script writing on this game was done for monkeys, not humans. Its ridiculous and very hard to play let alone believe. The director and all his puppets involved must not care about the fans and all those who helped them get to where they now are. Im saddened and disgusted at how this game turned out and that all the **** added to it. Keep your sexual beliefs and agendas to yourself. This crap has no place for games, the first part was perfect so why ruin it ? Having said all this, I traded in the game after about 10 hours + play..... YES , it was THAT BAD. And no i dont do that with any of my other games, even the bad ones , i tend to see them out till the end. This was disgusting. Thanks idiots for ruining my favourite game and the characters I and many others loved so much.

Also it's a game and even if you don't like the story the gameplay is amazing. TLOUP2 is an immensly dense game both in gameplay and story. The story is much more grand in scale comparitively to the first game which told a relatively simple story. This story examines the importance of those choices made in the first game and further examines the impact of a post apocalyptic world where murder and brutality is needed in order to survive. Here the story not only focuses on 2 individuals but looks at how these choices and circumstances effect everyone around our main characters. It's by far the most ambitious and satisfying game I've ever played. Now, some people obviously don't like the game and from what I've noticed is that people don't like it for one of two reasons: A. They feel the game Is pushing some sort of political agenda on them that they don't agree with. B. They're expectations of what the story should be do not match what the story actually is. Realize that this story does include LGBTQ characters, if you don't like that then this game probably isn't for you. I don't feel as though they were pushing an agenda these characters are there and they exist but there's not some grand message as far as they're orientations are concerned. They just are. Also Ellie liked girls in the first game so that shouldn't be a surprise re: Left Behind. Accept that what you want for the characters, and choices that you want to make are not what's going to happen because you are not them and they are not you. Drop all expectations of what the story will be and just let it happen and take in what it has to offer. These characters are not the same as the first game. 4 years have passed. They've changed, they've grown and they're going through something new. I loved this game. Is it the story I would've told? Probably not, but the story I would've told probably would've been boring and predictable. I appreciate that everytime I thought I knew what was going to happen next I was wrong. The characters made some choices I liked and they made some I didn't like but we're different people and we've been through different **** and we feel different things. Lastly it's just a game lol. Some people are acting as if their life is over. Expand

    Tlou 2, una experiencia única.
    Puedo decir que ya tengo una opinión estructurada al haberme completado el juego, mi experiencia con este juego fue fascinante, una montaña rusa de emociones, es uno de los primeros juegos que me transmite tanto a la hora de jugarlo, la manera en que está hecho, es tan cruda, tan real, que resulta agotador, turbio y hermoso.
    Hay momentos en los que estuve completamente en desacuerdo con las acciones de la protagonista, y al hacerlas quedaba con una sensación extraña en el cuerpo. El juego te mantiene en un pensamiento de si es bueno o no lo que estoy haciendo durante todas las horas de juego.
    La historia está siendo criticada diciendo que es propaganda feminista, de diversidad, bla, bla bla, solamente por el hecho de que esos respectivos temas están presentes en la historia, cosa que para nada es malo, ya que debería ser normal en nuestra sociedad. Si te molesta que Ellie sea homosexual y que en el juego este presente una diversidad de personas de distintas culturas, el problema eres tú no los desarrolladores.
    La jugabilidad es muy buena, mejoró en comparación al 1 y te da una infinidad de oportunidad para completar cada escenario como tú quieras.
    The Last Of Us 2 es una experiencia que definitivamente tienes que probar. No te dejes llevar por el hate que está recibiendo el juego, critican la historia, pero esta es buenísima, al inicio del juego dudas de las decisiones que tomaron los desarrolladores, pero luego te vas dando cuenta que todo encaja, todo es perfecto, todo tiene un porqué.

    Хорошая игра - это та игра, которая вызывает эмоции. В этой игре их было много.
    Я рыдал как ё*аная с*чка, когда Джоэла убили. И это хорошо.
    Что насчёт Эбби. Она крайне противоречивый персонаж. Многие её ненавидели, проклинали, но в итоге, когда Элли совсем одичала, Эбби оказалась куда лучше. Месть взяла верх над Элли и затуманила её разум. Под конец, я даже стал её [Элли] ненавидеть.
    В начале игры за Эбби я хейтил её как только можно. Однако, по ходу раскрытия персонажа моё мнение о ней кардинально изменилось. Скажите мне хоть одну игру, где протагонист становится плохим, а антагонист, хорошим? (Если такие есть, то извиняюсь, просто не вспомнил таких. Но это не отменяет того, что это в играх можно встретить крайне редко)
    Что по оценкам:
    - Графика 10/10, лучше уже не будет.
    - Геймплей 7/10, слишком затянута миссия с Левом и концовка.
    - Сюжет 9/10, крайне редко в играх можно увидеть падение главного героя (Элли, не Эбби), как личность. Мне это нравится.
    Не было бы тут лесбийских поцелуев, а также секса, можно было бы поставить и 9.5/10

If it wasn't so political, it wouldn't have had such a backlash. They take everything you liked from the first game and take a steaming sh*t on it. The villain they chose is generic AF and all the death scenes are stale and flat out disrespectful to the community. Instead of a game about mushroom zombies in an apocalyptic survival setting you get a political movie about 3 girls and their love interest. Also who TF waits a year to get their revenge… Expand

Найбільша проблема - сюжет, якщо в технічному плані гра чудова, а геймплейні механіки значно поліпшені відносно першої частини, то через сюжет грати просто нудно і не цікаво, а грати за Еббі взагалі гидко, їй не співчуваєш і взагалі бажаєш для неї швидшої гибелі, але гра не дає вибору, дякую що сценаристам не прийшло в голову передати гравцеві керування коли вона практично відстрелила Джоелю ногу, а потім лупила його клюшкою для гольфу. В Сіетлі, коли почалась історія Еббі я подумав, що це займе максимально 30 хвилин, треба перетерпіти, але це було не 30 хвилин і навіть не 5 годин, це була половина гри де клята Еббі є головним персонажем...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be fair and not give too much information, I will section this review. I will not go into the leaks or spoilers for the first part of the review. In the spoiler section, I will begin just by giving some notice regarding the leaks, in this way, in case you wanted to know whether the leaks were true or not, you can read that part and not go into the rest of the spoilers, in case you will still play the game.
    Context: I'm a big fan of the previous games from Naughty Dog and loved the Last of Us. I do understand that some might not enjoy that much the mechanics or find the movement and other things a bit obsolete compared to other games today. But in terms of story, I loved the first game, and was really hyped for the second game.
    When the leaks came out, I read them, was thouroughly dissapointed, but decided to give them a benefit of the doubt and I bought the game. There were so many mixed reviews, that I just thought: I want to make up my own mind about it.
    Review: To be fair to the game, I will have to split this into two parts. First, the gameplay is much improved. Having said that, if you did not like the gameplay in the first game, I'm not sure if the improvements will change your mind. It does control more smoothly and there are some improvements to how combat and traversing works. I loved the gameplay and thought that it was a good mix of improving it while still having it feel like the first one. If they ever make a third, I would hope it would feel more modern and quick in terms of responsiveness. The comparison was, though not as bad, I felt kind of clunky moving, like the first Batman in Arkham Asylum. At least I had a sense of that, when compared to how I expected Ellie to move when compared to experience in other games. Anyway, the combat and stealth were all very good, I like the set pieces I played through and it was good. I felt a bit more options this time around given that the spaces are bigger. I thought this was a welcome addition. The graphics are excellent. Not a single word other than that. Let's move to the second part then, the story: I hated every single piece of it. I find it completely disrespectful to the fans of the first game. Comparison I have heard of comparing this game to the last season of Game of Thrones or to the Last Jedi are accurate. I will delve more in the spoiler section, but let's just say that they threw out so much potential in story arcs and character development, just to get rid of our favourite characters, portray others in a dramatically incoherent way this time just to bend to their whim of what they wanted to tell as a story, included new characters that just did not capture me. I hardly cared for them. And when I did (in the sense of story decisions that I would obviously say: do this, the characters seem to not care themselves...) The game is so bad that I have just finished the first half and have no desire to continue playing. Yes, I've started into the second part, but (explained in the spoilers), I am sick and disgusted at naughty dog. I have decided to just wait for Angry Joe to do their twitch stream and I will watch the rest of the game instead of playing, I think it will be more cathartic for me that way. I can't stomach it otherwise.
    So, technically this game is as perfect as it could be for the end of this generation and being a continuation of the first game (technically). Storywise, it just poops on the fans and leaves us disgusted and asking how they, as a studio, could have stooped so low and thought this would be good. I recommend watching reviews that aren't positive to get an idea of what I'm talking, since here I will limit how much I will say. The writers try to come out as philosophical and in result actually just deliver a plot that no one wanted, about the relentless anger and revenge that not even their characters are able to make believable (so many opportunities to turn back), and poor, very poor character development... I couldn't care less.
    Spoilers: .........
    Yes, the leaks were true. The story begins by (after some intro), Joel and Tommy saving Abby (who has come to revenge her doctor father who died when Joel saves Ellie at the end of the first game). Yes, PGA tour Abby kills Joel in a gruesome way with a golf club and you are forced to watch. Yes, you play the second half as Abby but, as I mentioned above, I was so disgusted by this part, I had to stop. By the time they transition anyway, you already know the ending, and I've looked up that you do have to battle against Ellie as Abby.
    This story is sh*t. it is so uninspired. It brings nothing new to the discussion of violence or revenger. It is a soulless plagiarism of the first game, destroying the characters we loved (both Joel and Ellie). There are flashblacks that show a glimpse of what the game could have been. this is an empty shell. I regret buying. The writers did not care about the fans.

    It was a courageous ending to the moral dilemma when the first part said it was more important to save a single girl in front of the eyes than the lives of millions of people who could be saved in the future.
    The sequel, however, doesn't make sense to everyone except some of the producers that revenge is circulating, so only the producers act as if they can purify the world with special aesthetics and moral judgment.
    With such an attitude, he insults, belies, ridicules, and preaches those who truly loved the main characters of the previous series.
    To sum up, it's doctrinaire.
    This sequel crossed the line when producers forced Abby to steer and learn lessons.

Если вы обращаете внимание на глупые придирки к небольшим вкрапления ЛГБТ, которые будем честны, были нужные разработчикам, дабы угодить меньшинствам и не получить неоправданного хейта с их стороны. Я высказал свое мнение, кто-то может быть согласен, кто-то нет, но это моя позиция и я считаю именно так.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.

You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
