    The game is so bad do not waste your money. They had no idea what to do with the story and had to pay off the entire media to get some of their money back that they had lost during the production of the game. Naughty dog has ruined their image and will most likely no longer be a game studio after this game. Watch a let's play or a stream instead of buying the game and save yourself some money.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After spending 20+ hours straight playing through this game I find myself wondering why? Not about why I played the game but why did the writers feel like this is the direction they want for their story? Yes Joel's death was inevitable but why kill him in the most unrealistic and unlikable fashion? Why is a beloved character being killed off by a character we have never met?

    Take your favorite show and think about that main character, you know the one who the show wouldn't work without. The one whose actor has won numerous rewards for their performance as. Sure this character may not be morally correct but still manages to find ways to empathize with the audience. Now imagine this character is randomly killed off half way through the story by a character we have never met who is now going to play a pivotal role to the story. This is objectively bad writing. And this is what happened in the last of us 2.

    The innumerable number flaws in this story leaves me feeling like I could write a book about it. So I'm going to focus on how the game feels rather than the nonsensical decisions and the unlikable characters. In the first game we are thrust into a world where violence and sadness is around every corner yet the player is often relieved of these emotions through Joel and Ellie's relationship. We may be in a world filled with violence and sadness but the story brings hope and happiness through this pseudo father daughter relationship. And it's beautiful. And it's part of the reason the first game was so beloved along with its characters.

    The second game does nothing to bring about positive emotions in the player. The already incredibly brutal violence of the first game has been magnified to a startlingly realistic proportion. And the game goes out of its way to showcase this violence. There is no reprieve from this violence, it goes from extreme violence to more violence then to sadness and back again. This game elicits no positive emotions in the player. The plot surrounding Abby's relationships tried to bring some relief to the story but it fell short as it was impossible for me to empathize with this character. Not to mention the bulk of her story was overwhelmingly sad and violent, following the trend throughout the rest of the game. We were allowed to experience some flashbacks of Ellie and Joel which I believe also tried to bring relief to the story but had the complete opposite effect. Seeing Joel and Ellie together only elicited more sadness, especially the flashbacks which demonstrated their collapsing relationship.

    To top the story off the few characters that actually do survive the story have literally lost everything. I'm not asking for happily ever after. I'm asking for a story whose overarching theme isn't to elicit depression in the viewer. Depression and sadness can be explored as a theme without bringing about that in the player, we can see this as overwhelmingly true in the first game. Not just throughout the game but also in its conclusion.

    In the end the player simply feels empty, not only were the characters we already knew empty versions of their old selves but the new characters also felt empty. We're forced to watch brutal violence over and over with the writers seemingly feeling like they are making a great point about this violence. What point is that? I really don't know. They seem to feel like showing extreme violence is making a point in and of itself yet its not. We watch the characters painstakingly tear down their entire lives and lose everything and every relationship they have in a suicide mission for revenge just to give up in the end after everything has been risked and subsequently lost. It's so nonsensical and unbelievable that it's insulting to the intelligence of the players. They act like this ending is making some great point about hatred, violence, and revenge but it completely falls flat as the game fails to establish any empathy for Abby. I feel like the writers wanted the player to leave the game having a greater understanding of the hatred within them self and what that kind of hatred can lead to. Yet the game elicited the opposite feeling from me, I wanted Abby dead and leaving her alive left me feeling completely unfulfilled. I found myself feeling angry over the fact that Abby lived.

    After walking away from the game I don't feel like I just witnessed something special. It feel like I played through some strange torture porn fantasy that was written by fans who had no regard for logical story telling. And ultimately the game not only feels devoid of characters and plot but also meaning.

In the game, the character Abby is seen reading a copy of City of Thieves by David Benioff. This is the same hack responsible for the massacre of the Game of Thrones TV series - does it surprise you that all these hack writers run in the same circles?

    Bought and paid for critics won't criticize this atrocity because of its inclusion of gay and trans characters.

    Heavily manipulative trailers for the game which showed certain characters in situations - in the game it's a completely different character assuming the same role. Absolute trash and Naughty Dog deserves to go bankrupt for letting Druckmann destroy this IP.

The few tiny bits that made the last of us (aka. the story) was shredded to pieces in the first hours of the game and left a sour bit, not only that, without it the rest was a generic survival game, that can honestly be a skipable experience.

    And I'm not even gonna comment about the worst ending in the history of video-games

    The leaks were better to swallow than this lack of respect against the fans, honestly i hope Neil Druckman doesn't direct a project ever again, but unfortunately this unbearable game will be considered for a goty... what a shame.

    Did you see the stark contrast of the scores here? How the Critic Reviews are able to give this game a very shining score of 9 or 10?

    Now, look at the User Reviews, filled with complaints about how the story has been butchered just to fulfil some political movement agenda and killing a beloved character for nothing.

    See the difference?
    No? Let me get you in on this.

    The User Reviews contained people who ACTUALLY PLAYED THE FIRST GAME. It is filled with people who loved (or still loves) the dynamics and relationships between Joel and Ellie, and those who felt something when they realized that a game's story, can touch people's hearts.

    TLOU2 butchered everything that TLOU has done for us. No gameplay changes, the game world is empty (although very beautiful, kudos to the designers), enemy AI is probably the dumbest you've ever seen, all in all, the game looks very dated.

    Combine all of that with the fact that the story is a nonexistent mess about murder and violence, and at the end of the game, the developers took a step further and tell you 'no no no, revenge is bad, you cannot kill.'

    Now, look at that 85-90-95-100 score from the Critic Reviews. Where the **** does it come from? How the **** are they even grading this game? Do they actually finish the game? This is overhyping up something for the sake of nothing but money.

    This type of corporate stupidity has to be stopped. If I'm able to refund my purchase, I would do so gladly.

    Worst $60 I ever spend.

    At least Game of Thrones season 8 killed Daenerys.

HER. GO. LET HER ****ING GO. YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT KILLING EVERYONE'S FAVORITE CHARACTER BY SOME NEW RANDOM CHARACTER IS COOL, GOING AFTER HER THE WHOLE GAME IS COOL, BUT LEAVING HER ALIVE IN THE ****ING END IS COOLER. IMAGINE KILLING ARTHUR MORGAN IN THE MIDDLE OF RDR2 AS MICAH, THEN PLAYING THE WHOLE GAME AS MICAH, AND IN THE END SEEING JOHN MARSTON FORGIVE MICAH AND LET MICAH HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE. OR IMAGINE SWITCHING TO MAURICE, KILLING AIDAN PIERCE AND THEN HAVING A HAPPY ****ING END. LIKE YARE YARE ****ING DAZE, AM I FURIOUS. YES, I AM FURIOUS, IN FACT I AM ENRAGED, PETRIFIED BY THE ****TINES OF THIS PLOT. I AM SO HAPPY THE PLOT GOT LEAKED. THE MAN LEAKING IT IS A HERO. I REALLY HOPE THIS GAME IS A FINANCIAL DISASTER, BECAUSE FROM A STORY PERSPECTIVR, IT IS A GOD DAMN ONE. I AM SOOOOOO DISAPPOINTED I CAN NOT RATE -16... I AM REALLY SORRY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO JOEL ABD ELLIE. IN FACT I LOVE JOEL SO MUCH I'VE NAMED MY PENCIL SHARPENER AFTER HIM. FIST AND ****ING LAST TIME I NAMED AN INANIMATE OBJECT. HOW THE **** DOES THIS PLOT WORK? YEAH, SURE, JOEL CHOSE ELLIE OVER THE WOLRD. BUT THAT'S BULL****, NEIL. WHAT THE **** DID THE WORLD DO FOR JOEL, HUH?! KILL HIS DAUGHTER, BEST FRIEND AND A ****ING LOT OF PEOPLE HE CARED ABOUT, MADE HIM SMUGGLE **** FOR A LIVING AND THEN HAVE THE GIRL THAT CAME IN THE PLACE OF HIS DAUGHTER ****ING KILLED FOR THOSE WHO GAVE NOT A SINGLE ****ING **** ABOUT HIM??? **** THE WORLD. IT HAS GONE TO **** THE PEOPLE THAT SURVIVED-SURVIVED BECAUSE THEY WERE HARDER TO KILL, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER, SMARTER. AND THE ONES THAT ARE WALKERS ARE ****ING DEAD BAGS OF **** WALKING TO KILL AND EAT. THEY HAVE THEIR BRAINS TURNED INTO A ****ING MUSHROOM, WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING TO DO, POUR SOME MAGIC ****ING GEL MADE OUT OF ELLIE'S ANTIBODIES ON THE FUNGI SO THAT IT REPLACES THE BRAIN, THE EXPERIENCE, THE KNWOLEDGE, EVERY-****ING-THING??? THAT **** SO MESSED UP EVEN CRAZY DIAMOND REQUIEM WOULD'T BE ABLE TO BRING IT BACK TO ****ING NORMAL. BUT YEAH SURE CALL ME HOMOPHOBIC, RACIST, EGOISTIC OR WHATEVER IN THE **** YOU CALL PEOPLE WITH A BIT OF COMMON ****ING SENSE
    I am sorry for all of this toxicity and rage i put you through, but i just could not keep it in me
    Please, call back all of the copies, rewrite the plot and then sell the game. It might cost more, but at least you will not put both the game franchise's reputation and the companies reputation and financial situation. Is it better to fund 10 mils in the game and have a revenue of 5k, or fund 25 mils and have a revenue of 100 mils? Keep in mind, that sucking all this pseudo-equality movement's asses is not worth it. Do not say **** you" to the community that loves you. I am so glad you ended Uncharted before you raped Nathan Drake's name

These elements are absolutely nominal. This gamedesign existed in videogames, when Naughty Dog released Uncharted(2007). But i was very surprised when I noticed many problems in plot and scenario. From this point of view TLOU P2 looks like expensive Russian movie. It is cool when you don't concentrate on it. When you start analyzing it, it f**ing falls apart. There are so many logical gaps, things which makes people stop believing in the game. The problem of strong women is not developed too. I am not sexist or homopghobic person. But please, make characters that i will believe. Make their motivations more clear and their relationships more real. And it is not all problems. This game has very very very beautiful visual style, but absolutely empty world. Trere is no environmental storytelling. Aeverything you can learn about this world you learn only from notes you find in corpses. It is like hello from 2007 year in 2020.
    P.S. I was laughing my ass of when i was fighting with enemies and three pregnant women came to me with shotguns and started fighting with me. And the funniest thing that they have the same animation as other enemies. It was very funny when one of them managed to climb on 2 metres wal, run fast to cover and shoot me.

How can you kill joel when the reason everyone was so invested in the first game which was a masterpiece is because of the relationship between joel and ellie theres no logic to this the game itself is a massive flop sadly i cant believe people think its because of the lgbt no one is bothered about that.

    I don't care about the SJW sh**, the graphics, game mechanics are all amazing but this story completely sucks in this one. Unlike TLOS this game is more about revenge and hate but the ending does no justice for that. The characters are all unlikeable and the narration falls flat on this one.

    The Last of Us Parte 2 é um completo desastre: história forçada, patética e cheia de furos, personagens rasos, esteriotipados e descaracterizados, jogabilidade repetitiva e datada, ausência de um modo multiplayer. Uma completa falta de respeito com o que foi tão bem construído no primeiro jogo e, consequentemente, com os fãs da série, que esperaram 7 anos por sua sequência.

Uma completa falta de respeito com o que foi tão bem construído no primeiro jogo e, consequentemente, com os fãs da série, que esperaram 7 anos por sua sequência.

    O fato desse jogo ter conseguido quase uma unanimidade de notas altas entre a Mídia Especializada™ é atestado da corrupção e da visão de mundo distorcida da mesma.

    Espero que esse fiasco sirva para a Sony no mínimo reavaliar certos posicionamentos seus e dos estúdios sob sua tutela, e que os fãs percebam de vez qual o jogo jogado pela Mídia Especializada™.

    This game is like an open wound that just wont seal up because the player is forced to unnaturally shove all sorts of objects in said wound in hopes that the bloody hole will magically repurpose itself into something that will never physically be possible. It's awful, wrong, embarrassing and frankly, disgusting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is so garbage
    the story is trash and all the characters are trash,to even consider this a masterpiece should be a sin

    the only redeeming qualities of this game are the graphics and joel(what they do to joel is despicable)
    but the gameplay is repetitive and the pacing is Horrendous

    In this game they dumb down joel just so they can kill him off and turn him into a plot device so ellie can have a revenge arc but his death is made pointless cause ellie doesn’t even fulfill her arc she just lets abby(who is the worst character in the game and the person who killed joel) live

    Ellie revenge arc is also meaningless cause she kills hundreds of people just to get to abby, but when she gets the chance the kill her she doesn’t,this pretty much just makes everything you did pointless cause you literally achieved nothin from it

    Abby is the worst character in the game,she is a complete random who kills joel and they think that we are gonna want to play as her for like 1/3 of game,Why the **** would i want to play as the killer of the most beloved character in the game?
    Also they try to make us sympathize with her but honestly I have no reason to care

    This game is complete **** I recommend everyone not to waste there money on it

    Horrible story decisions purely to virtue signal and play the I'm holier than thou card. its nothing more than pandering to the woke crowd, people that feel like everything is an attack and spend every waking hour trying to find something to be offended by so they can post it on social media to show everyone how much they care about others. I don't care if a story has LGBTQ+ characters inHorrible story decisions purely to virtue signal and play the I'm holier than thou card. its nothing more than pandering to the woke crowd, people that feel like everything is an attack and spend every waking hour trying to find something to be offended by so they can post it on social media to show everyone how much they care about others. I don't care if a story has LGBTQ+ characters in it we all exist we should be in games that's not what bothers me its the pandering and obvious story choices to branch the game off into a woke storyline. There is no way it would happen like that and it's obvious you did it only to turn the game into a trans gay game for praise.

    As far am I'm concerned "The last of us part II" isn't the same universe as part 1 nothing that happens in this game is a continuation of the story this is nothing more than woke fanfiction. It's not canon and the story has concluded at the end of the first game. Hopefully, someone with a brain will make a mod or an unofficial second part that plays the story out farther in a realistic way. Just change the character names and looks a little and finish the story properly.

    You guys did this for the virtue points and money but you haven't figured out that the woke crowd doesn't actually buy things. They only **** about things and then instantly move on to the next thing they find that can display their fake outrage. They don't have time to play 30-hour games, they spend every hour not at work searching for something they perceive as offensive. They live to post on twitter so they can make sure everyone knows how caring and how much better of a person they are than you.

    Thanks for ruining a beloved franchise just to pander, you sure showed us!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a player and fan of the first TLOU, I'm really disappointed with this sequel.

    I appreciate that Naughty Dog wanted to "dare", by killing Joel, the protagonist of the first chapter, but it is the motivation that pushes Abby to kill him is really forced for me. Naughty Dog could have killed him in many other different ways.

    But the thing that made me angrier than this is that after Abby tortured Joel, first shooting him with a **** shotgun in the legs, then repeatedly hitting him with a golf club, at the end of the game, Ellie FORGIVES Abby for all that that she did and lets her live! All this does not do justice to Joel who treated Ellie like a daughter! (especially seen in flashbacks during the game)

Not only did they try to force some ‘what did you learn from this’ kinda point with the whole abby story, they completely betrayed who some of the characters were or had to begun to by the end of the last game. Joel came off as a complete idiot, how can one guy go from the hardest survivor around to a incompetent trusting doof in five years? Also ellie is all over the place emotionally in this, in the end she gives up everything for nothing. 0/10 Expand

    I'm just stunned. Joel isn't a nonchalant idiot. But they made him out to be precisely that in this insipid sequel. Naughty Dog, you're a group of blind/disrespectful people. And that

    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]
