    But it is not really transmitting that emotion or anguish to me that the first one. Despite the fact that I am watching gameplays in both games: The first if I even liked what happened and the end if I And the end if it made me cry
    This is exciting because of how they paint the game but it does not transmit more nor does it make you have empathy
    Lousy game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a massive fan of the 1st game and someone who has already beaten this one. I feel the need to tell you not to buy this one. I was only spoiled the fact that Abby kills Joel so I was coming at most of the game with an open mind. So for the first 90% of the game which includes the Jackson, Seattle, and flashback portions of the game I was actually really enjoying it. I thought the combat encounters were great and the UI in the game was definitely improved from the first one. I even started to believe it might be one of my favorite games of all time. However, all that changed when I saw the ending. The fact that you let Abby off the hook and then go home to find Dina and JJ gone (which most of us probably saw coming) made me feel cheated. Then to go upstairs and get an awful cutscene with Joel where Ellie almost (keyword almost) forgives him for the events that took place at the end of the 1st game. I understand what naughty dog was going for with the scene but I just think they could’ve done it better. And it’s the rat king boss fight and the entire length of the game in total that makes me question whether I want to play it again or not. It took me roughly 20 hours to beat this game keep in mind that I wasn’t even trying to get all the collectibles, but it only takes the average gamer around 13 hours to get most if not all collectibles & upgrades in the first game while also completing the story (depending on difficulty and gaming experience). Usually I have no problem with a long game but when the ending just throws away the first 2 acts of a game it makes it feel totally pointless. And it irritates me that I waited 7 years for a big cliffhanger (if that’s what you would call it) for the next game (if they even make one) which will at minimum come out in probably another 7 years. So in summary don’t buy this game unless you want to be heartbroken that you won’t be able to see the rest of Ellie’s story for a long time. (Also if you don’t like kissing scenes don’t buy it, because there’s a lot of them).… Expand

    Funny that somehow, this is the most user reviewed game to date, despite the completion trophies on the ps4 showing that just over 10% of players have actually finished this game at present.
    Too many people reviewing this game without even playing it, all because some leaked footage goes against their political views.

This is not just a bad game, it's a great example of how game developers and other entertainment corporations are trying to normalize the LGBT community, but they don't understand that they are doing the same thing as setting their favorite song as an alarm. being good but ended up being so horrible that you won't be able to listen in a long time. We understand that this community has to be normalized, but, without forcing it to normalize, one gets used to the passage of time, not ipso-facto. They killed a character in just two hours to simply force Ellie and Dina's relationship and also put a developer to have sex. The story is very forced and really disappointing. The third installment is usually supposed to be bad after a sequel already, but it didn't take long for them to ruin a saga. Do you want your equality? Here's your damn equality… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got this game yesterday as a pre-ordered game from GameStop yesterday. I must say that the story is emotional and gloomy. It's emotional like story parts in a soap opera TV show. At the very beginning of the game once Joel tries to get Ellie's attention to sing her a song, it shows that he has love for her. The sound that Joel made creates emotions torwards the characters. The graphics are triple a based graphics with so far no frame dropping due to unbalanced character movement pacing. This game has combat for evasive combat for defensive just like sekiro has L1 to block attacks so to dodge is just effective as the offense in sekiro to show off your defensive attacks to enemies. Overall so far I'm enjoying this game as I ransack abandoned buildings in the snow for health cocktails like I loved doing in days gone. Great job Neil Druckmann and the entire Naughty Dog Cast.… Expand

I think that this is with no doubts the best game that naughty dog made,i don't know how people says this is dissapointing and awful, did you play it? if you played it and think that this is a bad game, please, throw away your ps4 becaus i think that you don't understand nothing about videogames.
    Returning on the title. I think that the game is perfect, naughty dog made a really god job. I'm not talking about graphics because that is like from another planet (awesome), i'm talking about the story, the characters. The last of us Part 2 gives us an incredible story, i admit that the ending gave me a little bit of heart break, i would have preferred an alternative ending, but that's still good.
    the characters are made in such a beautiful way, i lived the last of us 2 with dual feelings about Ellie and Abby, but as much as i hated Abby, the game wouldn't have been the same without her. People who says "i wanted to play with Joel" Okay then go play the last of us 1. i'll end my review about this masterpiece saying that naughty dog couldn't do a better job than this, because this is the best.    … Expand

Plus the amount of pure murder is incredibly numbing in this game both in the cutscenes and in the game play, something the first game didn't really have a lot of. Even more so the first game continually gave you something to look forward to but this game never had any such thing: it was just one murder spree to the next as opposed to the first game where you were trying to cure the world. I just don't know what the writers were thinking. If this game was a standalone, I'd give it like a 4/10 but because it ruins a prior known excellent series, you have to score it a zero. I say this as someone who absolutely loved the first game. It just felt like they tried way to hard to be "woke" and did things for shock value.… Expand

    I can't believe that I waited many years to see a continuation and in the beginning they kill the most beloved character in the game. and without giving a story behind the characters. Basically the problem is the story of the characters and the bumps in the story. a shame to have to spend money for a memorable game and see how a big one falls

    Many will protect this game beacus of the production values, the graphics, face animations. They are good as much as you cant expect from a triple A title, but how far will it take you in a game where all the characters are empty and blend to the point where you feel like none of this matters to you anymore. This event is the perfect presentaion of an author in crisis, all the negative reviews will represent that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly, there are a few good points within the game, as to why I didn't rate it below a 4. Here is a list with some details.

    -Game mechanics.

    Since the last game was released, the mechanics of the game have improved drastically. I find it much more easier to aim, craft or even throw a brick/bottle. The jumping and climbing manoeuvres were quite simplistic also. The only thing I can add to that (which is a negative, but because its only small I will include it in the positives) is that the dodging mechanic (L1) is strangely difficult. I found myself continuously receiving damage even though I was dodging perfectly to an upcoming attack. Something that should have been used as the circle button mechanic and not the running button.

    -Animation

    Not only have the facial animation during cutscenes and the gameplay animation improved since the last game, but also the way the environment moves around you. I felt fully indulged within the environment, almost like I was there throughout the entire gameplay. The lighting really brought the dark, dim and bright moments to life.

    Those were my only good points. The past seven years they have spent on making this game was wholesomely based on those points, and not the story. Here are my bad points.

    -Not because Joel died, but HOW he was brutally murdered.

    As Joel was the main character in the first game, I felt saddened by the way they killed him. The way Manny spat on his beaten up corpse really pissed me off. I can understand if Abby herself killed Joel in her own way, without other people forcing him to struggle free of their grasp, but I just found it....well, dirty. She couldn't even come up with a well made plan on how to commit the act. It was just pure luck that she ran into him.

    -Making Ellie look like the villain

    Ellie throughout the entire game is of course, on a rough road heading straight for revenge. Willing to do anything, and kill just about anyone that gets in her way. But throughout this path, she makes some decisions that make us question who she really is as a person. We can all say the worst thing she did was murder Mel, who was pregnant at the time. None of us could see that she was pregnant, even Ellie was shocked at the murder that she committed. She isn't a BAD person. She made some quick moment decisions which were taken out of her hands, and if the tables were turned, we would all do the exact same thing. (Nice try, Naughty Dog)

    -Trying to make us feel Sympathy for Abby

    During the play-through of Abby, different events occur which try to make us think that she isn't the bad person we all think she may be. She may in fact be a caring person, but that doesn't mean she can't be a horrible one either. It makes us look at past events from her point of view, especially when her father died, and we can all obviously see why she did what she did to Joel. But that doesn't take away the fact that she killed him. Joel, who was the protagonist of the first game, the character we all came to love, murdered. Because of the acts he had to commit, in order to save his loved ones life. I quite frankly didn't care that Abby's father died and I will never come to like her character for what she did.

    -Back and fourth revenge/the story ending.

    This story was nothing more than a 'look, this is what revenge does to you. Revenge is bad, DON'T DO IT' and I feel like the past 7 years should have been concentrating more on the story-line and not the mechanics of the game. We didn't need a story on revenge, we've seen it. we've played it. And i'm sure at one point in all our lives, we have had some kind of revenge too. We didn't need a video gaming explaining what specific actions can do to the human mind. Which brings me to the ending. Ellie at the start of Seattle (Just after the events of Seattle day three) spent all that time on tracking Abby. Killing absolutely anything (I'm sorry Alice) and anyone just to make it possible. After being horrifically beaten to a pulp by Abby, she moves from Jackson with Dina and her son. Spending months on end just dwelling on Joel's death. Even having PTSD moments. So at the end, when she had Abby in her grasp, she sets her free. For what reason? Did she forgive her for what she had done? Was this whole game for nothing? Me, as the player, who desperately wanted nothing more than revenge for Joel, couldn't even get that. From start, to finish, the endgame was pointless. It was a means to an end. Where does this take the third installment for the game (that's even if they bother now) with such a pointless cliffhanger?

    My 3 star rating is for the game mechanics. The last star is merely for the story-line. What a disappointment. I expected better for 7 years of hard work.    … Expand

    No one has ever done something like that for a video game story so it would be an original design decision. That way, people who like this version can still enjoy it, but for people who want an actual story can play the real version. Both versions would be debated upon, but the decision to redo this game entirely with a new story would make me forget about and forgive the mistakes made in this version. I know that this won't happen because the Niel Druckmann fell to one of the oldest stumbling blocks in history which would be pride. He directed a masterpiece and the praise got to his head. Instead of looking at what the fans loved about the first game, he did his own thing, confident that he was smarter than everyone else, and ended up destroying his own masterpiece. It's not the first time that a leader has fallen to pride and it certainly won't be the last time. If Niel Druckmann and the team completely redid the game with an actual story, it would be one of the quintessential comebacks of our time. It would surprise everyone and would earn the respect of every gamer who felt betrayed by this version. As it stands though, this game is completely unplayable.    … Expand

    The gameplay is astounding, the graphics insane. What I really love is the attention to detail that makes the world feel so real. You really want to explore the world in this game. First of all because of the beauty of it, but also because the game really rewards you for exploring which is just a very nice bonus. Exploring these environments really gave me a feeling of awe, they feel so real and tell a story all by themselves.

    Another thing that I really enjoyed was the AI. I think the human enemies were brilliantly made. They were hard to combat because they constantly flank you or move around so they are behind you. The fact that they have names and unique voice lines really added to the immersion for me, especially when they would get sad because I killed their dog. Every single encounter felt fresh and unpredictable to me and I never got bored. To the contrary, sometimes I would start over encounters just to play them again because they felt so awesome and I wanted to try doing something else the second time.

    The story is Amazing! I don't understand why people are so angry about the development of the story line in this game. Apparently people want things to stay the same and just want bland sequels for all eternity instead of something moving and drastic like this.

    But even if you completely took away the story, just for the sake of argument, this game would still be one of the best games ever made so far, just in terms of gameplay, graphics, sound work, world building, pacing... You name it, this game does it better.

    This game kept me on the edge of my seat and gave me everything i wanted from a Naughty Dog game and more! Best game they ever made! Mad respects to the team!    … Expand

    A game that fools it’s player base thinking, they’re gonna play Joel, by continuing to showing him on their game trailers and the „100 % Journalist“ reviews, while getting any people banned or silenced all over the internet on very different platforms for which most they didn’t have the right for. Where were these „Journalists“ then?

    Anyway, so instead of Joel you get forced to play    A game that fools it’s player base thinking, they’re gonna play Joel, by continuing to showing him on their game trailers and the „100 % Journalist“ reviews, while getting any people banned or silenced all over the internet on very different platforms for which most they didn’t have the right for.

    Anyway, so instead of Joel you get forced to play half of the game with shehulk, which you simply don’t feel for. The game tries so hard to make you feel sad or be in pain, when the only painful thing is this game itself, playing it feels like getting tortured.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Remember in the first game the giraffe scene? Where after this long journey between two strangers that butted heads from the beginning finally bonded, then you as the player watch the young girl look on a herd of giraffes in awe during all the chaos? There is nothing like that in Part two.

    I will freely admit, I did not play this game. Instead I did the current year thing and watched streams of it. Some with commentary, some without, but I saw enough of the game. After watching, I knew that this game is just not worth buying, and there is nothing redeemable about it.

    So let’s get the very little pros out of the way:

    Graphics look amazing. But this should be a given for a major studio with a triple A game at the end cycle of the ps4. So this doesn’t actually save the game.

    The sound is amazing. Nothing more to say on it.

    The acting is great. Some of the people behind the faces playing the characters are some of the best and recognizable people in voice acting.

    Now for the neutral:

    Gameplay is meh. The action is pretty much the same as the first game. Very little was added to.

    Now for the cons:

    Gameplay is dumbed down. Beyond the action, TLOU p2 is a puzzler game. You make your way through the area to get from point a to point b. And it looks like the developers decided to make it so simple to solve how that there’s no challenge or thought needed.

    Character.....
    So many decisions the characters from the previous game go and make go against what the characters would have done in the first. Joel and Tommy would not have revealed who they were and where they lived to a large group of strangers.
    The new characters fall into two camps: totally forgettable or totally unlikable. Ellie’s friends are just there, but don’t contribute to the story. You won’t care about what happens to them because you are never given a reason to bond with them. Abby is the only character the developers try to force you to empathize with, but she is just bad. She just killed the reason why people liked the first game, then your forced to “understand” her justification?

    Story..............
    Tales of revenge can be fun to go through if done correctly. We can see the conflict within the character seeking revenge and the resolve they have to build to finally go through with it or turn away. TLOUp2 doesn’t have this at all. You can’t plow you way through an army of nameless people brutality killing them, then shrug your shoulders at the end before killing the big bad.

    No multiplayer mode. The multiplayer mood in the first game was great and you could easily find yourself putting more hours in there then the single player. But there is none in the sequel and really there is no reason why there isn’t.

    The developers claim that the game was about hate. They even went on record and saying they weren’t going to use the word “Fun” in their game. But playing a video game needs to fulfill another word. That word is enjoyable. TLOUp2 is not enjoyable. There is nothing but bleakness and violence for the sake of bleakness and violence. I found absolutely no reason to spend money on this, which is hugely disappointing because I was really looking forward to it when it was first revealed. And I for one am sick of criticism being dismissed with accusations of homophobia and sexism or being accused as being a bit.

    True the mechanics and graphics and all technical aspects of the game are great,and it pains me to understand that these people who were working hard on this one will get such a backfire into them.Yet I'm glad that many reviewers gave these people a credit even if they hated the game.
    Now unto the main point-the characters,the storyline and MESSAGE.

    1)There was no logic in Ellie's actions if you ask me.You can't carve a bloody path to your enemy and then somehow spare him/her.This was stupid.Really stupid.

    2)Joel acted like a fool and I hope that I don't need to remind you about his past when he was killing people,then he was a smuggler.So due to his experience and he should've felt a threat from a mile away...They destroyed him as a character and then Neil Druckmann spitted on his corpse.He created such a great and complex character and then THIS happened.Great job.Self-destruction-100 as they say in memes.

    3)The message.I don't need Druckmanns political views.I needed a good story with a good well-written characters not this SJW stuff.Some may say that this is his project well then he won't get any money from me and the Capitalism always wins.

    4)Where did Abby got a fresh steroids during the apocalypse I wonder?

    Graphics - With a "beautiful" downgrade, it looks like the PS3 graphics. Ugly, old and ridiculous. We're on 2020, c'mon! We have a lot of older games with wonderful graphics!

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]
