Its some what decent game-play mechanics (maybe a little outdated) and breath-taking graphics, is overshadowed by how terrible the story is. Ultimately, they have destroyed their own franchise - a franchise once beloved and admired. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game did not give respect to the prequel. 2 hours into the game and we see our most loved character killed ruthlessly with a golf club. There are infinitely many better ways of killing off Joel but this game just chose to be bad. Joel also lost sense of guard which is not his usual attitude and this clearly highlights the weak depth of story-writing. The prequel attracts lots of people mainly with the story and the sequel should also do the same but the game just threw away hope for the fans. Also, the ending is just speechless. You got to play as someone who murdered Joel who was a father-figure like to Ellie brutally in front of her and when she eventually met her, she just forgave everything and just let her go? Are you serious Naughty Dog? I am really disappointed. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It feels like an addon instead of a game. Without needing to spoil anything, it's an add-on where they decide to piss everyone off by killing some folks we care about. Remember The Force Awakens where Kylo kills Han? It's pretty much exactly like that. It feels like we're playing a fan made effort and the kids have decided to break all the toys simply because they can.

    The game is gorgeous, it really is. The problem is that it's so obsessed with discussing social topics that it feels like they forgot where the beauty was in the first one. The first one had more said by doing in silence than two characters ever really interacting. The giraffes come to mind - there is a sense of wonder and peace for a moment when the giraffes are found, and then the player can optionally interact with them which will cause some dialogue. Or you just ignore the giraffes. Or maybe you make the choice to observe them at a distance. The choice is ultimately the players about if they should talk or not, but the beauty is there and presented in silence.

    Somehow, this misses the point entirely. It feels rushed, which is strange considering how much time this spent in development. There was more in the scenes which was left unsaid than was said. And that problem carries forward to all the other aspects of this game. The social aspects are pretty much rammed down our throat. There no option not to simply "look at the giraffes" and instead we're forced to look. Instead of having a tender, caring moment in the presence of something we hold as majestic, we're forced to watch as two characters bang the crap out of each other instead of make love or enjoy each others presence. Frankly, the boat scene doesn't even make much sense, while we're calling this out. We go from a fistfight to... pretty much (forced?) anal sex. What happened? Is this rape? I was confused.

    The pacing problems hold fast through the rest of the game too. The formula holds almost entirely true of walk-shoot-talk and each encounter ends up blending into the next one. This isn't great - it means the locations are too generic and I stopped caring about the characters somewhere along the way. There's a lot of "pile of stuff" shootouts which occur along the way but aside of minor theme changes, they just aren't that interesting. But we have to do them anyway because the freedom like we had in the later part of the first game doesn't exist. Don't expect to sneak out of a tense firefight, you're going to kill everyone for dubious reward.

    Finally - who are these people? I definitely feel like characters are either foils and party favors or they're "developed", but that development is oftentimes contrived or feels forced or delusional. I don't really see how the moral choices for some of these folks have gotten them from A to B. Sometimes there's leaps of logic or faith which make me suspect I've missed some random clue somewhere I was supposed to find for a big reveal, or perhaps skipped some bit of talking by accident. While I don't really hate anyone for mindlessly killing someone I'm dear to from the first game, I don't love anyone either. It just feels like those Star Wars movies everyone tries to ignore. All the stageplay is there, but the writing is just bad.

    I can only imagine how mentally damaged Naughty Dog studios is now, having endured that abortion of a so called "Game".

    And not to mention him forcing his much unneeded "Holocaust" fable into the game. The entire ordeal comes off as a sickly forced waking nightmare that you cannot escape, something more fitting for a book of H.P Lovecraft's insane settings, it's just missing the eldritch monsters or maybe Neil Druckmans sex scene with the Transexual Abby is very much the Eldritch abomination just in modern day artform.

    Thank you Naughty Dog and Neil for hopefully ending your careers.

    7 Years ago we were given a game that captured our hearts in its story telling, a game that built a relationship between 2 characters that disliked each other at first, however by the end of that game you had an unimaginable bond between the two.

    7 Years ago we were given a game that captured our hearts in its story telling, a game that built a relationship between 2 characters that disliked each other at first, however by the end of that game you had an unimaginable bond between the two.

    The Last of Us Part II takes that game, and throws it in a dumpster then sets it on fire. This game failed in many ways to its predecessor. The characters you loved from the first game are not the same. The bold and harsh decisions made for you in the first game were justified. In this game they are forced and used as shock value. The gameplay is extremely repetitive by the half way point its almost tiresome to play. The cut scenes make up 11 hours of this game, yes, over half of this game you are forced to watch this hideous story play out. The other half you are forced to play as a character 99% of people do not wish to play.

    The hate on this game is not because of the social agendas being pushed so heavily, rather, its drawn out repetitive gameplay, terribly written story, and Neils promise to us (Part 1 fans) that this game was meant for us. I cannot believe that you built such an amazing world and characters only to tear it down rather than build it up.

Stop ruining our beloved characters, Neil literally spits on Joel after she-hulk goes full golf town on him.. absolutely disgraceful, then expects us to enjoy playing as Abby??? Makes no sense just like the terrible ending. Expand

    Your money speaks louder than your keyboard. Stop pre-ordering games. Stop buying games the second they drop. Protect your money. If you're sick of this, show them in their wallets. RIP Joel.

    Imagine just relentlessly slaughtering hundreds of people and several dogs just to get to the person who killed the equivalent of your dad and stopping at them because you have an epiphany right after they literally bit your fingers off during the fight. Like, okay. Would never happen. If Ellie actually killed Abby it would have been an overall better story. Still bad, but better than what actually happened. And the ENTIRE TIME you're playing Abby, you just wanna go back to Ellie. You never, ever, ever care for Abby or friends. You can't. You just keep thinking about how she killed Joel. I dunno if they were ever expecting us to like Abby, or if we eventually were just supposed to, but it never happened for me. Not even close. I was so mentally checked out of her story halfway through. It was so boring.

    And even Ellie's story, I never really cared at all about Dina, and I straight up disliked Jesse. The best parts of the game were when Joel and Ellie were together again. And in my opinion, if those are the most enjoyable story parts, then there's a disconnect/failure with the game. Cause it means I'm still connected to/invested in the past. So much so that now that it's gone, I don't actually care about the present in the game.

    This game was only made to make money. It has nothing to do with the wonderful original story and its characters. It's a shame how this storyline turned out! It makes me feel like they completely changed the authors.

    A terrible intro and ending that leaves a lot to be desired. No respect for beloved characters. Very little gameplay change. The game just tries to hard to make you feel a certain way and support characters that you don’t care about. Overall the message is revenge is bad, but apparently not for Abby, just the people we likes

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I´been waiting for this game and now that i have it im just heartbroken, first i don't care about Elie being Lesbian(Thing we know from the first game) or about Joel´s Death because we all knew that would happen. I never watch or read the Leaks but the thing is it doesn't matter, the game try so hard to surprise you and i think that's the reason for killing Joel in that way, but why?
    Abby is not a bad character but after what happened with Joel i can't relate with her, if you do something like that first be sure that we care about that character, a 10 minute flashback is not going to make me love her and support her actions.
    The second thing is Joel himself, in the first game he didn't trust in anyone and suspect from everybody but here he just say "Howdy Doodly, my name is Joel i live there i'm gonna mark it in your map for you my friend , oh you want me to go inside that room? ok im gonna follow you to this dark room room and let you close the door because in the lord's land everyone is good right?" and he is not the only one, Ellie acts REALLY different and...is just feels like this game was made by another studio, a study that thought "People like meaningless plot twist, let's show them HOURS OF CUT SCENES, that way they'll love our characters" the gameplay is literally the same and the only good thing is the graphics and the music. my final thoughts are:
    Mediocre story 0/10
    Gameplay exactly the same 6/10
    Amazing graphics, I don't understand how ps4 supports this 10/10
    Music amazing 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We all know that the main selling point of this game is the story. Well....they **** it up.

    First :
    Those who are saying we are mad because of the lesbian and trans thing going on. No, we aren't. All of us knew ellie was a homosexual and no one was mad about it in the first game.
    Second :
    Nothing good came out of killing Joel. How the **** could they use him for some cheap shock value. I mean at least they could make up for it right? Nope. Just ****ing killed one of the characters that drives the game and you ****ing expect us to sympathize with a stranger character we don't even know. No amount of understanding will help us empathize with someone who killed one of the crucial character of the game. And then you spit us on the face and make us play that ****ing character.
    Third : It's a ****ing revenge story with no revenge. Nothing good comes out of it. Everyone dies. She spares her life. It's a ****ing disaster. And Joel's last word to Ellie is 'Yep.' Like wtf. Really?!? ****ing lazy writing.

    We are not here to have a woke contest. Naughty Dog spits on our face and disgracefully kills off what could have been one of the best games of all time. All the character development for nothing but to make a point that does no good. Ellie kills hundreds but spares the killer of joel...yeah right. We had to wait 7 years for this **** You guys suck.
    Please Naughty Dog. I still have faith in you as a gaming company. Please make it up for this disaster with your next release.

    Sincerely,
    A disappointed fan.

    This franchise is all about the story. Without the story the game means nothing. This game does have great visuals and decent gameplay, but the main focus needs to be the story. The story is awful and it tries too hard to make you feel sorry for people that you immediately don’t want to feel sorry for. The ending was completely ridiculous and have no sense.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a below average game with a shockingly twisted story, dear oh my all that great talent and acting wasted on a script like this. And despite seeing all the anger from many people due to certain scenes, deaths, the ending, none of that really matters.

    What matters is, you took away the loving bond that was the heart and soul of this series by killing Joel and creating a dark revenge storyline that eventually "killed" Ellie too and this series as well, instead of something more positive and vibrant.

    This is what brings depression to the people of our world. Video games are over if this continues, they are meant to relax, amuse and entertain you. Sometimes make you cry, but not leave you depressed, horrified and absolutely destroyed on the inside.

    For example, our dear Italian friend Hideo who sells pizza for a living loved this series back from the PS3 days, he couldn't contain his tears and went off from our discord and into anxiety when this originally leaked, and now 3 months later he is still in such disbelief and shock that he refuses to talk to anyone about anything gaming or spaghetti related. We hope you are ok wherever you are partner. Thanks for ruining him Neil, you and your golf game did this. Ugh, he's never going to be eating spaghetti again.

    Some good moments as to why it's still a solid game, the visuals are very good, as well as the fluid facial and body animations, but it still feels like it's the first game just in 4k with a few more gameplay tweaks. Which isn't bad, but overally due to everything else, yeah...can't get a good grade.

    And last but not least, a few hours after beating the game, i am left to wonder two more simple things.

    Was the sequel really needed? No

    Is our Dedito really gae? Yes.

    Once again, thanks Neil.

Really disappointed after everything I’ve seen from the Last of Us story. I’ll just end it with the expansions in my head thank you. The only good thing about this game is it’s graphics. I went into this knowing that Joel would most likely die because that’s how the story would naturally progress. However, forcing us play as his killer for a good portion of the game and trying to make us see them as a good person is just a slap in the face. The creators were very obviously trying to make something thought provoking but it fell flat and became a basic run around revenge story. It’s disappointing after how amazing the first game was. I’m really sad that this is what they chose to do with what could’ve been a wonderful sequel. Note: I usually don’t feel a need to post reviews for games because I think everyone should have their own opinion. Seriously though, don’t waste your money on this. Expand

    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.
