    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So media is lit writing stories about how not to pay attention to user reviews LOL...
    So ignore the people buying and playing the game.. but keep listening to the crazy echo chamber that has zero to do with the people and only harm you...
    The game is amazing.. As everyone said the story is horrible.. Joel being handled differently might have made me think better but still, its bad. Its awful.. All this game does is offend everyone intentionally.
    Even Trans people should be offended.. They use stereotypes that people whom hate them think of them as..and does not represent most Trans people..and you made violent etc. Its just wrong..all of it.
    There is no way it should have a good score.. I will agree that it should least get 5.0 because everything else was just better from the first, other then, oh I dunno, the entire story/game itself..
    Im still a lil confused at whomever your internal PC voice is because of how they handle the Trans person alone (since they are trying to make it a new thing..) that which they knew on its own would draw controversy.. Why.. That is like being the people who used to say why blacks (kill them first) and no gays..) but they handled even that in a bad way..
    This whole thing is just confusing.
    (Btw these are the people driving all the companies to placate - not really change..so only feeding fires.)
    And again to leave off..media is lit writing stories about how "WE" should not be paid attention too..
    I'm saying they handled all things poorly..including PC things.. I guess your going to take my Black card too?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay and the story was fine. The reason why I chose to give this game a bad review is because of Naughty Dog's false advertising to make us believe that Joel was alive in their trailer with the fake scene with him.
    Joel being killed off is hardly an issue to me. If anything, they could obviously not be accused of fan service because of what they did and we could sympathize with Ellie's anger throughout most of the game. However, Naughty Dog obviously chose to change the story last minute and chose to kill him off after releasing a trailer showing Joel being alive and joining Ellie, which explains the multiple delays.
    Instead, what we have is Naughty Dog deceiving us with false advertising from their trailers and Neil Druckmann had the audacity to mock our massive negative reviews for the game.
    Even though I've heard that spoilers were released, I've chosen to avoid them, like how spoilers are occasionally released for other games, movies, and TV shows.
    Naughty Dog should be investigated by the FDA and should be sued for false advertising because I'm sure there are many of us who have chosen to not see the spoilers and who are also upset that Naughty Dog sold us a lie.

    Good graphics, great music, horrible story(and no it's not BOLD it just sucks), and boring game-play.
    this game had so much potential but naughty dog decided to allow an SJW to write the script and it's blatantly obvious, and the developers were just lazy, improving on nothing but graphics.
    do not buy this game. just watch someone else play it, your day will still be ruined for less money.

    1) the game is incomplete as it lacks the mp component which made the first game great
    a newer product should never have less features than the first product.
    2) the game is pretty, but the story is horrible and hamfisted.

    this game deserves all the fan backlash it is getting and hopefully it taints the studio and the creatives behind in as to never develop anything again.

    Boring gameplay (push the button 3 times to get a combo, and excessive quicktime events) neat cinematics, recycled inside scenarios, a dumb story (like... for real, you can get better fanfics on Wattpad) and a short time to beat (25hours but 7 hours of cinematics) please don't waste your money

I personally felt the story was weaker compared to the first game but it was still enjoyable to me. I personally extremely liked the fact that you play as both Abby and Ellie. It really put into perspective both sides of the coin for me. This game works best if you try and come at this neutral; with an open mind.

There is no game that is absolutely perfect with no flaws nor is there a game that is absolute trash with nothing to like whatsoever. Having said that, i believe TLOU2 is a polarizing game, it will cater to those gamers who likes the gameplay first and doesn't care much for the story, while those that cares for the story will more than likely hate it, ESPECIALLY those gamers that have played the 1st one and was in love with the storyline and character development that made it so popular. fast forward several years later, TLOU2 could have been a masterpiece had they not shifted the story to a revenge themed plot and remained true to the global pandemic theme that is much better suited for the game. The sequel had a ton of potential to be great but it's like ND pushed aside the infestation filled narratives of the game and forced a revenge plot on the gamers that most people find dull and filled with plot holes. Obviously the graphics and other technical stuff was a vast improvement on the original but of course it came out years after the original, problem is, TLOU1 was a story-driven masterpiece of a game and the gameplay was secondary for people who experienced it, it was the story that has driven most of us to continue and see what will transpire next for Joel and Ellie, and then having the story fall flat on the 2nd game was for sure a massive disappointment for the people that has been waiting for the next chapter from the 1st game's main protagonists. i hope this serves as a lesson to ND, if you want to try new ideas on gaming, make it on a new game and don't force it on an already established title. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Expand

    To put it simply, this is NOT a good game. While the graphics are amazing and the gameplay, if you liked the first games gameplay, is good, the story is just so maddeningly bad, that it doesnt matter how good the combat is because i cant enjoy this game at all after a certain moment in the beginning of the story. Im sure yall already know what happened, but im not about to spoil it. I dont expect EVERY game to have perfectly written dialogue, perfect acting, or perfect characters, but this game does something with its main story that has and always will be unforgivable. It ruins the first game. So, if you liked the first game because of Joel and Ellies relationship, then avoid this game like the plague. But if you dont care about that, which is kind of weird since that was what the first game was all about, then i...guess...give this a try? Anyways, its a solid 3/10 for me. One point for the amazing graphics, one point for the good gameplay, and one point just because im feeling generous.

    Beautiful sound and graphics, average gameplay that brings nothing new and really bad story. There are lots of plot holes and no character development. It'd be an OK game if it were from some new IP. It's really painful to see what they have done with Joel and Ellie just for shock factor.

    GAMEPLAY 7/10 - I dont know how else to describe the gameplay other than by saying its more of the same. For me, its great but I can understand why you'd find fault in it.

    GRAPHICAL FIDELITY / ATTENTION TO DETAIL 8/10 - No surprise here, graphics are top notch, facial animations are dope, everything looks great.... for the most part STORY 1/10 - For those who were emotionally

    GRAPHICAL FIDELITY / ATTENTION TO DETAIL 8/10 - No surprise here, graphics are top notch, facial animations are dope, everything looks great.... for the most part

    STORY 1/10 - For those who were emotionally invested in TLOU and the characters of Joel and Ellie, the plotline, story structure, and characterisation of TLOU2 completely fails to present a satisfying experience

    I'm not saying every game has to be happy, and have happy ending or whatever. Telltales TWD, LIMBO, Shadow of the Colossus, Spec Ops: The Line... all of these games had tragic endings and a relatively sorrowful tone throughout. Yet why is the story of these games fantastic, whereas TLOU2 isn't so.
    The game uses cheap, artificial, manipulative story mechanics, instead of intelligent or thoughtful characterisation, to garner sympathy for Abby.
    For example when playing as Ellie, you are FORCED to:
    (1) kill dogs
    (2) murder screaming wailing people, whose loved ones mourn and cry in terror (making you feel bad about killing them)
    (3) murder a pregnant woman
    Whereas when you are playing as Abby, you are FORCED to
    (1) play and have fun with dogs
    (2) defend yourself against evil scary transphobic jungle people
    (3) save kids
    People who enjoy the story are confusing SKILFUL DIRECTION with CHEAP MANIPULATION. People seem to be forgetting the Abby is a fundamentally EVIL, IMMORAL character that doesn't deserve sympathy
    In Ellie's darkest moments, she:
    (1) attacks a woman who, aside from being involved in her fathers death, also further titilates and aggravates Ellie by saying Joel died like a little **** Reacting with rage and impetus, she beats the woman up with a metal pipe. However, Ellie is visibly traumatised and shaken by the event, she comes back and is clearly distressed and troubled
    (2) kills a woman who she later finds out is pregnant. When finding out, Ellie's hearing fades, she collapses and starts hyperventilating; clearly disturbed, remorseful and regretful
    In Abby's darkest moments, she:
    (1) shoots an old man in the knee, who just previously saved her life and was completely friendly and warm to her. She proceeds to take VISCERAL PLEASURE in beating him with a golf club, torturing him for so long that she eventually she grows exhausted and needs to remove her jumper. She delivers the killing blow right in front of a screaming girl who begs for his life
    (2) smashes a girls face, and upon finding out that the girl is pregnant, Abby takes immense PLEASURE AND SATISFACTION at the prospect of slitting her throat.
    Both girls enact their darkest moments under the impetus of revenge, but it is clear which character takes pleasure in the idea of inflicting pain. Once you understand this, any meaning the story holds completely withers away. TLOU2 is not a satisfying or entertaining story experience, nor is it a story that even needed to be told, given how many other movies, games, books, TV shows have conveyed the consequences of revenge theme better.

    Overall 16/30 = 5/10 - not even close to TLOU 10/10 rating and a completely underwhelming venture from Naughty Dog

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not a perfect game in terms of what you wanted to happen. I think the problem with the bad reviews from people who wanted happy endings, wanted to play as Joel and Ellie and live in nostalgia of the first game. You need to have an open mind. A second playthrough if you really want but closing your mind off to the experience because of the first act is the reason this game has poor user ratings. This game has an exceptional narrative, like, a mildly weird one considering what I would consider the posture of a story being.. a little slumped in some places. But overall, boxes to check; exceptional representation of women, diversity in orientation, gender and race, hard discussions and quite poignant representations of PTSD, a grit-teeth look at violence and the conception of a very unique way to tell a story. It makes you reconsider how you play the first game. The game is **** intense. Picture me, just chillin' at my craft station to hear the unmistakable sound of thudding footsteps towards me to be thrown out of what felt like a little pause screen. Wrong. Very wrong. Beaten almost to death wrong. The game has a way of keeping you in edge but killing you into safety. Is it crickets or a clicker? The fear in the gameplay outside of what feels like being an unreliable narrator is what adds to the charm but also kind of detracts from the linear element or want of nostalgia for a game.
    Some people are reviewing it without even playing. Thank you naughtydog for honestly making my birthday and having me stay up for like 3 days to finish it. I hate you. But I love you. And I get it. It's an adult game, made by adults. To expect sunshine, happy endings and nostalgia that isn't somewhat bittersweet is not a realistic build up of this franchise. Thank you for making me ugly sob but truly reflect on my actions. Thank you for sticking to the artistic integrity. Thank you for not giving us a "happy" ending.

Now I will admit the transition to playing as Abby is a bit odd it took some getting use to her character but now I see why Abby did what she did and I've loved seeing her story. To all those haters who just hate on the fact Ellie is a lesbian or Lev is trans are so simple minded. They can't see that the storytelling in this game is cinematic breathtaking beat for beat. The gameplay is improved upon from the first ones realistic movement and gun mechanics and the graphics are outstanding. This game is definitely GOTY contender and may even win. Expand

Of course its sad that joel died but that makes you want to go after abby and kill her. The second part of the game all the way to the end is buns. You play as abby through the second part of the game almost all the way to the end. You find and kill jessie, wound tommy, wound dina, and almost kill ellie. The last part of the game you play as ellie to go kill abby. You find her and have a fight but end up letting her go. Thats what made me put this game as a 1/10. The person you were going to kill gets let off. Thats complete utter horse poop. #Justice For Joel. So stupid that ellie let abby get away. No wonder why critics could only talk about the first part of the game. So stupid. I'll be returning the game. Not worth the money. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played and enjoyed the first one! This game continues the gameplay elements from the first one. The story is good, if a bit slow in the first 3 hrs or so. The open exploration segments are a bit slow compared to other more action packed segments or flashbacks. Don’t listen to the negative reviews about there being some hidden“agenda” the main character is gay and has a girlfriend, so what? It’s not shoved down your throat and is handled the same way as most heterosexual romances in games. Also in regards to Joel’s death in the first hr of the game, this was not unexpected. If you payed attention in the first fake you’d notice they Joel and his Brother Tommy did a lot of bad things to survive and throughout the first game you anger various groups on your way toward the end of the game. After the climax of the first game and how it ends it makes sense that certain groups would hold a grudge and possibly hunt down Joel. Joel’s story is still very important in this game and he makes appearances in Ellie’s flashbacks. TL,DR If you liked the first one and you don’t mind playing as a Girl who likes girls then you will prob like this one too... Expand

    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.
