    You read about story already and all this tolerance that flying in your face is annoying as F.

    If I could return this game like in Steam, I would return it in half an hour.

    No, this is not better than the first one, even if the game system is good (still feels crappy like RE6) the ducking story, and the characters, you would be better not paying for this, get a bag of Doritos, it will last longer and will be way better

    The first game was a masterpiece, the second is total garbage! It has better graphics which is expected and gameplay looks almost the same. Main issue is the story, they ruined the franchise. If I wanted a nonsense message I'd rather get it from a fortune cookie.

    Trash game and false advertising. There is zero interactions with Joel, only flashbacks. Naughty Dog purposefully put "old Joel" in the trailers talking w Ellie, but in the game it's all flashbacks and he's younger. Pure trash and they should be fined. They destroyed what could've been an awesome sequel for political agendas. This is what you get snowflakes and liberals, enjoy your handiwork

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll be the first to say that sequels have it tough, especially considering how the first was arguably one of the best games to come out. The first was a fan favorite due to the story's writing and the relationship dynamic between Ellie and Joel. It was perfect, or as close as it could be, especially with it's ending. I will always remember having to choose between sacrificing Ellie for the betterment of humanity, or saving her to let her life her life. The ending played on your morals and your sense of duty, it was perfect.

    The Last of US 2 is not a sequel, it may have the same characters, name, and setting etc, but it's not the same game. It's a **** show. The contrast in reviews between critics and users is laughable. It's abundantly clear that the critics were paid for their 10/10 reviews, because anyone playing this would immediately know it's garbage.

    Sure the graphics were amazing. And it's improved it's crafting system, a few other things when compared to the first. But the storyline is nonexistent. Killing Joel was definitely a downer, but this wouldn't have been the first game that's killed off an important beloved character. When done right, it can truly improve the storyline and promote character growth with the remaining cast. That wasn't the case here. Killing Joel off was bad enough, but doing it in the way you did, making a show of it, was just disgusting. Worse yet you made us play as "Abby" the one who literally beat Joel to death. It's obvious that you intended for us to grow attached to her throughout her storyline. How we'd learn her motivations in killing Joel, and eventually grow to care for the character. That obviously failed.

    Making us hate the character we are about to play as was truly one of the worst things you've could have done. If that wasn't bad enough, the ending was truly pathetic and pointless. Ellie's storyline throughout the game is one of revenge. It was written poorly, but it was definitely a motivating goal for most of us playing. Ellie killed hundreds of people throughout the game for her revenge, but in the end choose to spare Joel's killer, like what the **** was that? You even made her lose some fingers in the fight, yet she still choose to let them go?

    A better ending wouldn't have made this any better, but it sure would have been more tolerable. A better ending would have been to choose between Killing Abby yourself, or letting her die off slowly while on the cross. That would been so much better the **** we ended up getting. What a disappointment, you ruined Joel's character by killing him off in the way you did, and completely ruined Ellies as well.

    The story does not make sense and i feel like it is a spit in the face of the core fans that loved Joel.

    Joel in The Last of us 1 beginning: “I don’t trust you Marlene”

    Joel in The Last of us 1 ending: “I don’t trust you Marlene so imma kill you”

    Joel in The last of us 2: “ HOWDY STRANGER LETS BE FRIENDS AND PLAY GOLF! “

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is such an incredible disappointment. I was so hyped for this game that you would literally have to humiliate and brutally murder one of the main characters from the previous game to get me to dislike it. Even then, I would probably be open to one of the characters dying, if the story was presented in a compelling way. Unfortunately this story is not. In fact, you are tasked with playing as your hero's murderer halfway into the game, and the writer (Neil Druckmann) wants ever so bad to make you feel sorry for this character. To feel compelled by her story and to sympathize with her torturing and clubbing Joel to death. Well, Neil, I do not. This story reeks of shock factor for the mere existence of it. It is so far up its own ass you wonder how Druckmann ever came out for air to put this thing into existence.


    I would never recommend this game, especially to fans of the original. This is offensively terrible story writing and it's a shame that the first games writer (Bruce Straley) wasn't here to reign it in.

    A good game or movie begins and ends with a good story. TLOU was amazing in this regard.

    Part 2 should continue that story, not destroy it just because they want to subvert expectations while pushing a personal political view over good story and logical writing. TLOU2 has some of the worst writing and plot choices that ultimately undo the first game.

    Horrible.

    due to the fact that I wrote early, BUT in this case it will be un fare to my feelings, and i guess, feelings many other peoples, who actually knowing what dramaturgy is.
    TLOU 2 hade a great potential, but how we see, all was lost with primitive idea to make this game all about vengeance. Actually , if writers made step forward in the research of immunity (immunity from disease often can be not for all time of living of person) we could get a beautiful story about how man who betrayed the world in first game lost everything because of tragic irony in this game. If script writers was thought more in this direction, now we could have something more then just Walking Dead parody, we can have really dramatic story about payback not from anonymous new character, but from biologic issues of Ellie's immunity.
    And most sadness part of this situation, that ND can
    relieve themselves of responsibility for poor ratings, stigmatize all those who are unhappy by the game as homophobes or sexists, and hide behind the LGBT + community (to which I belong).

    I apologize for grammatical, and other mistakes, English is not my native tongue.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It seems like the story writers didn't really take the main characters personality from the first game into account.

    Here, in the sequel, the main characters feel "out of character" because their decisions in don't line up with the prequel. Character conversations feel forced and cringey.
    After a certain point you just want to put down the controller and stop playing. The graphics and technical details are amazing but you just want to skip the whole story and dialoges.

    This is coming from someone who loved the story of the first game.
    It's sad to see naughty dog in a state like this. I've always had high regards for older naughty dog titles but the way the company has chosen makes me rethink ever supporting them in future games.
    I feel let down.
    The story as a whole feels cheap and the ending makes things pointless.

    If you don't care game stories and want to play a game with great graphics and gameplay ported over from the last of us 1, this game is perfect for you.
    If you were looking for an experience with the story like the first game, stay away from this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are almost no Words to describe the abortion that is the story of this game.

    The shiny new graphics and game mechanics are meaningless next to the titanic screw ups that are the games story, and characters.

    The Writers of this game have taken a giant Sh*t in their hands and then rubbed it into the faces of every single person who was a fan of the pervious game (which was stellar because of its story and characters mainly Joel and Ellie).

    Both Ellie and Joel have been gutted and disrespected as characters beyond what i thought was possible. I have no words for what they did to Joel, it beggars belief that they thought this was a good idea. Testament to the utterly talentless writing team.

    Ellie used to be a solid, fun, hopeful and optimistic character who was a brilliant foil to Joel's grim acceptance of fate, and the dynamic between the two characters in the Original game was wonderful to watch, and was what gave the ORIGINAL game its spark. In this... She is a hollowed out, fundamentally different character from what she was (And supposedly only 5 years has gone by meaning she is now only 19...).

    The fact that they made her a lesbian is not a flaw in of itself, (despite there being clear evidence of her being straight in the original). But it is a clear indication that the writing team not only did not understand her character, and so forced her into a role that was not made for Ellie, but shows that creating a compelling story that was loyal to what came before was in the back of their mind compared to pushing their own politics and agenda.

    Abby is one of the worst things about this game, as is almost everything to do with her story. The flaws are too extensive to tell here, but the fact that they wanted us to empathise with this androgynous character vacuum, is laughable. and that they made Joel go out the way he did just makes me angry.

    Even the message of the story is horrible. The whole idea that "Killing Begats Killing" was already done in the First Game, and was executed so much better. Gone is the clever and engaging contrast of violence and horror of the World against the moments of Joy and Human interaction that made the first game so great.
    The opening cutscene from the Original when Sarah dies carries more weight and emotion than the entire of the second Game.

    All in all, this is a game i have been looking forward to for years. The original was my favourite game of all time, and i now look back on it with a bitter taste in my mouth. This game had SO much potential, it could have done almost anything, and what they decided to do, out of the millions of possibilities was probably one of the worst.

    I hope Naughty Dog suffers from this, and i hope they fire the imbeciles behind its creation, especially Druckmann.

    Please please please do not make a third.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not bad because of SJWs.

    This game has poor, contrived writing that is trying to prove a point. It is forced and unconvincing. In addition, you have gameplay from 2013 and NPCs that speed up and slow down like GTAV in 2013.

    I remember others complaining RDR2 in 2018 was behind the times. I wonder what those people think about TLOU2.

    But they never understand what actual normal gamers want to have, very simple, a good story plot.

    The game just simply ruin everything it built up in first title release.
    - Ruined the characters it built up in first title
    WTF happened to Joel? Joel can be dead but not in this way.
    Where is his intelligence?
    Where is his cautious personality?

    - Ruined the world it built up in first title
    TLOU world is A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE world.

    - It even ruined the ideas that the game want to send out, "Revenge is a bad thing"?
    Bad story telling skill, chaotic timelines, just don't use flashbacks if you can't handle properly.

    I stopped playing in the middle of Abby, i just can't play the game anymore.
    To those people who want to criticize me, i don't need to eat the entire plate of food to know it is delicious / if i like the food, just like i don't need to play the whole game to know it is good / if i like the game.
    Especially i already know the ending of this game.

    Screw you Naughty Dog, and whoever said this game is masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely tragic. This game stomps all over the brilliant legacy of The Last of us 1 by giving one of the most contrived, stereotypical stories I have seen in a long time. Characters are 1 note at best and the character deaths have little to no impact within the story. As for game play it is cut and paste from the first game with no improvements whatsoever. The developers should be ashamed of what the finished product is. Expand

    This game is like a big FU to the fans. A Neil Druckmann lookalike spitting on Joel's dead body is a fitting summary of the game. It was made for critics not for the fans of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game destroyed my heart. It ruined the characters, it made them non traditional to put it politically correct. Naughty Dog ruined the experience we enjoyed in the first game, this game was by far the worst game ever to experience. Just because it has very realistic graphics, it would ever make me by default enjoy the game. The story is disgusting, the characters were ruined, the experience was horrible. Naughty dog is trying to be abstract and different but neglecting what the fans want and what they enjoyed previously is Naughty dogs downfall. Appeasing the lgbt community and trying to win praise from them is why Naughty Dog destroyed a game franchise we loved. If there is one word that describes this game is disgusting! From all angles!

    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]
