I‘m glad everything got leaked before it was released.. this game has a bad story and kills off Joel, the best character.. also political correctness is just destroying everything and is now sadly making a move onto games, Don’t buy it, don’t support naughty Dog with this garbage they put out..

    Completely utter shambles! Surely a part 2 means a continuation of the amazing story of the first game but apparently not. I recommend if you loved the first game do NOT buy this petty revenge story.

    The first one was a true masterpiece and the second when we speak abou graphics and gameplay is good but the turned the story in to trash, if you play because you want a good story thinking about the first one you will lose your will to play after 2 hours or so

    I don't want to just compare it with TLOU1 but I think this will help some readers:

    Gameplay 10/10 - everything you love frome the first game, additionaly more enemies, added a dodge move as asmall mechanics for better expression of skill. melee combat feels AMAZING. Graphics 10/10 - just beautiful, haven't played a game with better graphics tbh. Leveldesign 10/10 - you still have

    Graphics 10/10 - just beautiful, haven't played a game with better graphics tbh.

    Leveldesign 10/10 - you still have the small linear parts like in the first game; so there is no going back. but the individual parts feel like an open world. sometimes I got lost after messy fights, but you get clues where to go pretty fast. Leveldesign is more diverse and got more interesting puzzle than "find latter and place".

    Game Feel 10/10: JUICY!

    Story and Storytelling: 10/10, I personally love how the world evolved, and i like the answers to open questions just as much as how you start thinking about whats right and wrong after playing it.
    The Storytelling is just as beautiful as in the 1st game, thats for sure.
    I found myself smiling, laughing and horrified while playing.

    You all know what happens by now. But you know what’s the worst thing? They actually managed to ruin the first game. Imagine how bad you have to be at writing if you’re able to do that. I loved part 1, it’s in my top three of best games ever. I wish I could unsee everything that has happened in part 2. I wish only part 1 existed and it was just an open end.

Isthe game a 10 maybe not quite is it a 9.5+ absolutely.

    It is my opinion that no game is a 10. This is because I want every company to strive to always better everygame they make. I believe Naughty Dog has made a superior game in almost every facite to the first one. The graphics are the best of the generation. The story over halfway through the first playthrough has me as emotionally invested as any game I have every played. Maybe it helps that I didnt read anything about spoilers or other otherwise that were leaked. I don't think it would have made a difference.

    The game play is bestter than the first in nearly every way. I feel like the controls fit the type of game very well. Though that being said a few things I would have like to have seen improve is the infected. I enjoy everything but the evolution i expected in the infected doesn't really exist.

    I will play through this game at least twice is my guess. It truly is an amazing send-off to an amazing generation of video games. I feel bad for anyone who doesn't get to experience the games greatness.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No game deserves zero points. The sound and music the graphics the animation are all amazing. But thats about it.
    Everything the first game has built, was ruined in this game. No body cares about the character sexuality. its written well then no problem. But that is not the case here. Joel deserved a better death. Characters act out of characters is the problem. Lets look at Joel, someone who does not trust anybody, it took an entire game for him and Ellie trust eachother and love eachother.

    Joel who could sens trouble miles away. Suddenly is surrounded with strangers and is stupid enough to give his accrual name? Are you kidding me. Gets killed by a ugly looking woman. Abby whos arms are bigger then my legs, and in fact her arms where smaller at the Paris trailer. Somehow it wasnt enough.

    After she killes joel. I hated her. And then i was forced to play her to kill Ellie? And El is the now the antagonist?

    This story could have gone much better. And sins this is a story based game, it only deserves my generous highest rating.

Had me thinking about the complex emotions Ellie must feel. What I didn't like was the unrealistic reason to travel to a destinations to force fight scenes. As far as all the people upset about the "SJW" story line this isnt the case and I somewhat believe naughty dog placed them there just to piss people of the story feels real and while I hated feeling some of the stuff I did - Sometimes in life there is not a happy ending and we just have to move on.

    For those who are here just to follow the sheep - buy the game and play it yourself, rather than following hate train because you are this funny human being. Good job, making fun of yourself, trolls.

    Critic reviews are an deception. None of them told that players can control other characters.It is also very ridiculous that a PS4 exclusive game can deceive people like this. "Look, we made a game that you can play a LGBTQ+ character! BUY IT! " And then we found, it's completely LGBTQ+ stereotypes.
    When I played "golf scene", I still thought, "Oh, it's too bad, Ellie must avenge."Now you tell me to experience how the **** killed your father and your friend and you gonna forgive it???

In terms of gameplay, there is nothing revolutionary here, I would say that it is simply boring, just such a development of the first part. I had the impression that the game is a bit long (by the plot) and was starting to tire me because in the second part of the game how it was presented to us was not very interesting to me. In my opinion, the potential that was hidden in it was wasted, maybe it's not wasted 7 years because the game outside the story and gameplay looks really good. But is graphics in games the most important? NO. That's why I don't understand why NaughtDog decided to lead the narrative like that. It could have been an outstanding game but unfortunately in my opinion it is at most good. The game does not deserve 0 but as well as 10. To sum up, the game did not meet my expectations, and I do not know where these 10/10 are from. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part 2 Is A HUGE Disappointment To Fans Of The First Game. The Graphics Are AMAZING & The Gameplay Is A Bit Clunky With Very Few Bugs, But Overall A Outstanding Improvement Upon The First Game. I Pre-Ordered The Game Despite The Leaks Simply Because I Wanted To Play It For Myself & Wanted Something Fresh To Play.. Since I’ve Pretty Much Beat Every Game I Have About Literally 3-5 Times. I Already Knew Exactly What I Was Getting Myself Into So I Can’t Be That Upset That I Wasted The $60. The Very Beginning Of The Game Was Great But I Was Quickly Shocked To See That You’d Already Be Playing Abby So Soon Into The Game.. I Decided To Keep A Open Mind & Let The Story Try To Change My Perspective On The Character. I Truly Don’t Understand Why Joel & Tommy Decided To Trust Abby So Quickly As To Give Up Their Names.. It Almost Felt Like I Was Watching Different Characters From The First Game. Once I Witness Joel’s Death I Instantly Wanted To Get Revenge Along With Ellie / Tommy & Couldn’t Wait Until I Could Finally Go Up Against The WLF (Wolf). The Details Of Every Death & NPCs Having Names / Backstories Never Really Affected Me Any Different From Any Other Game I’ve Played Tbh.. If Anything I Felt Like It Was Just A Nice Touch For It To Feel More Realistic. I Actually Enjoyed The First Half Of The Game.. At First I Loved The Flashbacks Scenes With Joel & Ellie (Basically Filler For What They’ve Been Doing The Past 4 Years Since The First Game) But It Quickly Got Old & It Just Kept Making Me Think About Joel’s Unjustifiable Death. Once I Reached A Little Over Halfway Into The Game I Thought I Reached The End.. Instead, It Switched To Abby’s Perspective Of The Past 3 Days (With A Lot Of Flashbacks) To Basically Try As Hard As It Can To Make Me Like The Character But It Wasn’t Really Working.. If Anything I Can At Least Respect Why Abby Killed Joel. If I Didn’t Accept That I Would Be A Hypocrite For Thinking Ellie Should Have Killed Abby.. What I Don’t Understand Is Why She Didn’t. If You Think Playing As Abby Is Bad The Ending Is Much Worse.. The Game’s Story Seemed All Over The Place & It Felt Like You Only Played Abby Half Of The Game Because They Ran Out Of Better Ideas To Keep The Story Going + Needed You To Like Her Character. I Could Say So Much More About This Game & My Experiences But I’m Pretty Sure A Lot Of People Feel The Same Way. Expand

    Also why are the more critical reviews not scored?
    I feel like you are not allowed to say bad things about this game or you are labeled as a homophobe even though your criticism is completely against something else in the game.
    What people actually dislike here is the story, which is something that a 15 year-old fan fiction writer would come up with.

    Neil has been watching way too much Game of Thrones because of this; "ha ha guess you didn't expect this to happen huh?!" Out of nowhere unexpected **** happening doesn't equal good Neil.

    In the game devs make you kill, burn, cut, curb stomp people, and then they make you feel like the bad guy because you did that **** even though you had no choice.

    The going back and forth with Ellie and Abby was just **** stupid.
    Yeah make me play with a character I don't care for 10 hours holy ****
    I was literally speed running while playing with Abby just to get it over with.

    Game looks **** great I have to give that to ND, but gameplay wise it's the same old same old, nothing special, and killing my boy Joel in the worst possible way in the second hour of playing while introducing a random new playable character is just lazy and poor storytelling.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truly loved the first game for it’s story. Joel and Ellie connection was one of the best, I ever saw in a video game through my +12 years of gaming. I was patiently waiting after they Announced the sequel, then there was the delays.

    I said to myself it will be all worth it, if they deliver a story that is equal or surpasses the original.

    Then the leaks hit the internet, I saw them, and as you can guess I was disappointed beyond

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stunning graphics. Playing as the main antagonist for 5 hours in some weak attempt to garner sympathy and empathy for her is the absolute weakest narrative choice I’ve ever seen in any video game. It really is a shame they’ve shoved politics and inclusivity to the forefront of one of the greatest games of all time. And instead of just making an amazing story, they pander to the woke progressive left that cares more about diversity of characters than actual quality and emotional depth. You’ve effectively destroyed The Last of Us with this dumpster fire of ethnic quotas. Tldr WAIT UNTIL ITS ON SALE FOR 10 BUCKS OR CHEAPER. Expand

    Never did I think they would do that to our beloved characters from the first game. The second portion of the game becomes extremely mundane and boring and makes you not want to continue. Gameplay was good for the first few hours but becomes boring very quickly. The story was not well written and there was obvious political pandering.

    The plot is so bad, characters are so unlikable. I am not against woke agenda, it's fine, but don't sacrifice a good plot for this, make feminist characters likable, the ending is bad. The game is a failure. I just don't want this trend to continue in games, so 0 is pretty much a good score to express it.

    Nice to look at but the gameplay is even more repetitive than the first, doing nothing to take the franchise forward, and the miserabilist story is abysmal and completely rips up everything you did in the first game, it just felt so pointless after paying all that money.

    Naughty Dog are too far up their own backsides to make a good game at this point.

    Logical consequences to what happened in the first game and the game is a technical masterpiece. Best graphics/physics i've seen on a console. Really enjoyed the plot, felt realistic and didn't try to cater towards the parts of the fanbase that didn't understand the implications of what happened at the end of TLOU1. I give it a 10. Looking forward to 3.

Why can't we simply accept, that there are others, who are different than "normal" (cuz nowadays you can't use normal for heterosexuals with simple genders, because it's not PC), and that's it?

    As other reviewers have said, everything great from the first game is gone; the compassion, the warmth, the family unit. What’s been replaced is virtue signalling and terrible storytelling.

    I knew about the hate it was getting online but decided to try it for myself... wow. Why did I bother. The writing is weak, laughable and, in the case of a certain character, absolutely vile. How a major character is thrown away just to appease a certain way of thinking in 2020 is awful. May sound melodramatic, but in a few seconds it seems they’ve completely killed the franchise.

    It’s a woeful game, using the wonderful characters of the first game to virtue signal, and then allows you the honour of controlling the awful character which destroys it all. What a misguided mess.

    So disappointed. And I’d been looking forward to this for so long...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. at many points it’s contradictory, the developers took a chance with the addition of a new playing character to the plot, I personally didn’t like the absolutely unnecessary pulling of the plot, I can assume that because of this, some games could simply be abandoned and not reach the final. I really liked the game and I advise everyone to buy it, because such games are extremely rare for obvious reasons related to their development. The game shows that the people who created the game put their soul into it. The LGBT agenda is there, but it’s very insignificant and you even don’t notice, because the summons in other games are much more obvious and spoil the game. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's start with scholarly reviewed and scientifically proved results, shall we? To show that we, the gamers, did not give low scores because we are homophobic or close-minded.
    So, video game researchers have found out about the special bonds between the player and the avatar, when we are experiencing a video game experience, we, are our characters. We emotionally immersed in the game and become that character. When we play AC2, we are Ezio Auditore, when we play Uncharted, we are Nate Drake, when we play CoD4, we are Soap. That's why when Ezio Auditore trys to sneak into the enemy stronghold and got spotted, then forced to go berserk, you as the player will say: "y'all forced me, I didn't wanna kill you all!"
    Thus, when we play The Last of Us, we are the family man who was forced into the smuggler, we are the father figure who lost his treasure, we are the mercenary who unprofessionally developed a father-and-daughter relationship his the "shipment"; We Are Joel.
    We love Ellie, of course, who doesn't love their daughter. Who doesn't love the little girl who put the hope of the whole damn world on her shoulders when she was still that young. But we love Joel more, because that is us. We don't say it though, because we are "Michael" from "Long live play", that's what we do. We don't brag about our achievements, we've saved the world for more than 50 times already, different worlds. That is the biggest mistake of ND for this game. What charms us about TLoU, is not Ellie, is not the adventure, is the relationship between Joel (us) and Ellie. You remove one, you remove us.
    So ND did not kill Joel, the male main character of TLoU. He killed us. In a way that, let me quote Deadpool on this one, "That's just LAZY writing." People don't let their guard down in a post-apocalyptic world, especially the type of people who Joel is, a survivor. If you tell me that age has got on Joel that he is not as fast, as strong, as persice, or even as smart, I will be OK with it. But you tell me Joel is not as vigilant and walked into a trap? That's just LAZY.
    But I'm OK with killing off Joel. The franchise has to move forward, and as a media scholar, I respect that. But ND clearly missed out on the second charm of the first TLoU: Joel's final decision.
    The first game is created around the battle between the sense and the sensibility. It started from the part where the G.I. was ordered to shoot Joel and his daughter, to the argument between Joel and his partner, to the relationship development between Joel and Ellie, ended with Joel's final decision: screw the world, family first.
    Sensibility and emotion, has been the decision-making guideline throughout the whole game. This was also the decision-making guideline throughout the second game as well, until Ellie's last decision: letting Abby walk. That is why the decision feels so, weird. I am not saying let Abby walk is wrong, but the writing did not provide strong enough support for the players to make the same decision with the provided guideline of Sensibility and Emotion.
    Keep in mind, the theme of the game is not revenging Joel, it's revenge for OURSELVES. Joel did not kill Abby's father, we killed him, because he was trying to kill our freaking daughter, whatever the reason maybe! Was it wrong? Of course. Is Abby justified to kill us? Sure! So is it justified that we kill Abby to revenge OURSELVES? You better say yes! So in the end, ND was not asking us to let Joel's murderer walk, they were asking us to let OUR OWN murderer walk. If you have good reasons and give the players the chance to sync with Abby and let the players become Abby, it's might actually work. Yet, the writing was so poor and the theme of the game was so solidly set that I don't even want to play as Abby at all. Hell, I don't even want to watch the walkthrough for that part. The writing of this game is too weak. The whole game is following your sensibility and emotion, and in the end, ND broke the consistency and make a decision that is 100% the opposite of it. No wonder it feels so wrong.
    So this game tells me two things. 1st, there are a lot of dumb people working in high places in big corporations. 2nd, video game makers, please consult academic researchers to make sure that you know what your targeted audiences think. Because right now, ND is clearly pissing off their main targeted audience: video game players.
    2 points, one for the hard work of making the game, one for the graphics.

    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.
