    "we hope this game inspires in you the kind of philosophical debates we had while making it."

    yeah, that's my view, trash game, not recommended

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If any of the positive reviewers have ever played the first game with any shred of attention or passion for it then i really don't understand where they are comming from calling it great and inronically calling the story a supposed "masterpiece" ... Whereas the first game is unforgettable due to the tone it set, combining bitter reality with a theme of hope, and well established characters that we all grew to know and love, the second game almost spits on all that was built up, and presents us a world that doesn't correspond with the theme astablished, and characters who are anything but a continuation of what they were and are. Joel was going to be killed eventually yes due to what he did at the end of the first game, but the way they did it in the second is just purely **** writing. When it happens, nobody knows who the **** Abby is, and after that we are expected to play as her to only then after 10 hours understand who she was and why (taking the fact that she is a super bland character with no real draw or motives out of the picture for a second). A proper execution would have been for us to first understand who she is, and where she is comming from and then have it lead up to the climax of confronting Joel. Combine that with the fact that Joel is established in the first game as a very mistrusting person, always seeing through traps, people's intentions and even not trustinnlg Ellie with a switchblade (out of fear she might hurt herself that is). Having him walk into a base with strangers, giving up their names with their guard fully down is the last thing he would ever do. The writer took him out of character for an opportunity to kill him off quick for shock value, and to even be able to insert his cgi self spitting on his corpse, this whole seen and that move can therefore be seen as a spit in the face of the fans by Druckman himself.

    Its also just plainly bad writing to make it seem like Joel saving her life didn't matter **** to her ... if the writers had actually bothered to put some depth into it they could have made it into a longer played out internal conflict that would have made for an actual good story.

    Now the story is just about 24 hours of constant revenge while simultaneously having a political agenda shoved down your throat. It doesn't belong in the world that was so cleverly thought out and brought to life in the first game. The zombies are so absent from the story now that they could just as well have been removed, so now the suspense they created in the first game is reduced to them feeling like some annoying npc part of a puzzle to get to the next cutscene

    Its just a whole game long where the player has to carry out one person's revenge fantasy after the other ... there is no depth to it, just a rinse and repeat viewed from different perspective played by characters that feel like husks compared to the complexity they had in the first game... Also there is no exiting goal anymore ... no outcome to work towards, just revenge upon revenge upon revenge plot

    Also the tone is nothing like what we got in the first game. The first game was already set in dark bitter reality so i don't buy the whole "but its more like reality now" argument, but the thing that kept you playing and made the game so good was the underlying tone of hope that carried the characters through, gave the story its gripping aspect and made everything feel like it mattered. At the end of the second game there is nothing you have really accomplished. No goal was reached that meant anything, we are left with some dead people, the villain walking away and being better off than the protagonist and no sense of satisfaction whatsoever. Its just 24 hours of "i kill u cuz i mad that u killed this person"

    So no, the story was just a prime case of lazy, bad writing anf showed no respect for artistical integrity. Joels death was done poorly and in total disregard for who we got to know in the first game, and so was the rest of the story. Badly written, shallow, it really added nothing of value to the timeline and on top of that tried to be way to political for the environment it takes place in. At the end of this game, there is no sense of accomplishment or satisfaction, we are left with an empty feeling, wishing we'd have never walked into this game and had just let the story end where the first game did. hence the story in all its aspects really just is a bunch of horse****, and a slap in the face for fans of the first game.

    Una verdadera basura como que ellie no se vengo de Abby , además hay huecos argumentales muy grandes como , el de Abby que vio a la primera persona llamada Joel y lo mato y si hubiera Sido otro Joel , como también los instintos de Joel en el primer juego el era cauteloso con las personas extrañas y ahora en ningún momento creyó que Abby tramaba algo. No me jodas.

I wasn't a big fan of the DLC because I feel like an agenda was being forced and pushed in my face. Going into this game I was trying to have an open mind. I didn't mind ellie being gay so much. It bothered me in the DLC because she was like your daughter and I never once questioned her sexuality or cared to know. I didn't really have a problem with ellie being gay in this game seeing as she is much older and I don't feel like naughty dog really pushed it too hard. i feel like it flowed naturally and it wasn't just shoved down my throat. I think when they introduced the trans kid things were a little too much there. It was definitely forced and an obvious agenda was at play. I was kinda confused when I first saw abby but after learning about her background I understood her character. The graphics in this game were incredible. I also loved the gameplay. The main things I absolutely hated about this game was the ending. I think if i played this and didn't look at the leaks I would have hated it more when Joel died. I guess I kinda just accepted it before the game came out so i lived with it seeing as I preordered the game. Once the game panned over to Abby after the Theatre encounter I couldn't wait to hurry through and see what happens next. Let me tell u it feels like this game NEVER ends and in the worst way possible, but you keep playing to find out. Only to be F'ed over so hard with the ending its so unreal. The ending was so bad it has potentially made me not even want to buy a ps5 next gen and that says ALOT. I mostly buy playstation to experience games from naughty dog like uncharted last of us and FF7 remake is big on my upcoming games, but after seeing how sony and naughtydog treated this whole situation I think I might go rock out on some Halo next year. I would like to at least give this game a 5 for graphics because those developers deserve a well 10/10 for that, but this director has F'ed this game up so bad I have to rate a 0 and try to give it the lowest overall score as possible so maybe decisions can be made to better the brand.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game can't be saved by a fresh coat of paint. They story which is what we all held fondly in memory as one of the best games in history, is reduced to a pandering mess.

    Graphics 2/10 sorry but they look like a slight upgrade to the remaster.
    Audio 2/10 felt like remixed audio from Part 1.
    Gameplay 5/10 till you're forced to play as Abby then it drops to -10/10.
    Story 0/10 POINTLESS read on to see why.
    Killing off Joel feels as if it was only done for shock effect to illicit an emotional response and set up a WEAK story. In part one Joel kills hundreds of enemies human and infected. We're meant to believe this 1 person, who developers put that moral dilemma on us the player kill as the pivotal one? This was the entire plot for this game?

    You then force us like HALO 5 (and we all remember how that played out) to play as the one person who NO ONE cares for due to her actions. We have no attachment to nor do we want any for Abby.

    Elle then goes on her rage filled killing/torturing journey. She kills hundreds only to come face to face with Abby and what does she do? She lets her go! So all the people we've killed all our actions throughout the game are POINTLESS.

    BTW how can you tell the writing is weak? Elle tortured a person goes back and flirts with her girlfriend (and the romance is so badly written.) Ashley Johnson is an amazing Actress/Voice actress the script is so bad it felt like she was phoning it in waiting for the real script.

    Scenes ripped from Walking dead and Lord of the Rings:
    Frodo Vs Golem (fight for power and Frodo loses he finger, it gets bitten off)
    Elle and Abby fight for who will live (spoiler Elle is winning and just gives up and lets her go after Abby bites off her fingers that is.)
    Glen Vs Negan (Joel is shot in the knee and is in a kneeling position when Abby bashes in his head with a golf club)
    Stuff like this pops up everywhere in the game cause they had no clue how to write this game.

    How Original and Progressive!

    NaughtyDog and Neil Druckmann I hope you never destroy another game again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Хочу сказать, что я играл в игру, правда до того момента как Джоэл"я зверски убрали из игры. Я всячески избегал спойлеров, а рекламная компания игры выставлялась так, что Элли и Джоэл отправляются вместе, что бы отомстить. А в итоге играешь за Элли и почитав отзывы других игроков, что ты вторую половину игры будешь ещё и Эбби играть, да меня после этого так взбесило, что я диск порезал, что бы не возвращаться к данной игре. Я бы простил и нетрадиционные отношения какие разработкчики показывают в игре, трансгендеров пофигу. Но с Джоэл"ем вы палку перегнули, в первой части игры меня затянуло, как развивался сюжет и отношения Джоэл"я к Элли, тот отец, что потерял дочь получил второй шанс и пошел на всё, что бы её спасти. В части 2 хотелось увидеть, то продолжение этих отношений, а вы же все чувства убили в самом начале, да ещё "Якобы" что бы понять, что чувствовала Эбби и как она шла свой путь даёте за неё играть, за персонажа, который убил любимого героя и я так понимаю не только мне он запал в душу. К геймплею и графике вообще вопросов нет, я смотрел на телик и у меня глаза просто наслаждались картинкой, но то каким путём пошли ВЫ разработчики в сюжете меня просто убило. Возможно мой отзыв и никто читать не будет, но хотелось бы сказать разработчикам: Лично я играю в игры, что бы убежать от того, что творится в мире и может игры не всегда заканчиваются не так как мы хотим, НО не надо тащить в игры тот весь ужас, что у нас происходит на данный момент.

    The Last of Us is all about the story. It is made to let it feel cinematic. Part II doesn't disappoint in that regard. The story really feels like a poor made low budget B-movie. Doktor Uckmann unfortunately puts a lot of ethical propaganda elements in "his" game that doesn't make sense and add nothing to story. Story 3/10. Gameplay 7/10. Graphics 8/10. Overall 0. Big disappointment.

    Just look at the stats: 11000 positive, 1100 Mixed and 25000 Negative reviews.

    This game was the brain-fart of the Niel Druckmann and Halley Gross. Westworld never mixed with LOU from the start.

    But what is most disturbing is Druckmann's and other's responses: ridiculing and mocking the fans, calling them haters, bigots and alike without a second thought instead of listening to their true concern and issues with the game! They can be so ignorant and arrogant because of their previous successes, what exactly the players expected and deeply trusted him. But they were betrayed.

    But why is that a so successful studio receives only 3.4 user rating? It cannot be just because of some lesbian action, it is because they destroyed everything, for the sake of forcing Druckmann's degenerate agenda!

    Ask yourself the question: do you want to play this game because of Last Of Us or because you want to play the character Abby who destroyed everything you found dear in the Last Of Us?

    Missed chance for LGTBQ characters to properly be included as main characters in gaming. Their sexual orientation matters more than the plot and is only there so that Druckmann(game director) can push his political agenda into a beloved game. Save your money and act like this never existed.

    There is more money and less brains, because of this you began to play on people’s niche feelings, it looks silly and the plot is written for 15 year old **** you defiled the honor of Joel, Neil Druckmann, you would write scripts for the game of thrones

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For anyone wanting an in depth read as to why the game is being viewed negatively by most gamers:

    Firstly, no, it isn't about a specific character's death. Please let that weak argument go to justify why the game is good in all other aspects.

    Very clearly a ton of work was put into excellent gameplay, graphics and sound. They are all absolutely top notch, you'd expect nothing less of a game from them. The story on the other hand, it was well acted by Troy Baker, Ashley Johnson and the rest of the crew, but the reasoning for this story to exist seems off. I couldn't place my finger on what was wrong with it at first, but as the hours went by while playing it I got the sense that the game existed for namesake alone. Not because they had a story to tell. It's utterly clear in the end that this game's story exists because of one idea they had. It is a B movie, straight to DVD style plot twist with absolutely no impact due to its execution. Where the first game had character development on all fronts, mainly Ellie and Joel, the sequel throws that all out the window.

    Granted Abby’s story isn’t particularly intriguing whatsoever ( a new character you're forced to play as for 10+ hours ) and there is an arc that feels contrived ( extremely convenient timing, for a writer hoping to craft a redemption tale ) and to top it all off the ending is extremely disappointing. Early-game portrayals of Abby’s friends are intentionally misleading ( behavior and attitudes inconsistent with those revealed later ), and overall there are significant issues with narrative structure and timeline. So in the end the game is intentionally disturbing, emotionally manipulative, intentionally unsatisfying. Does that make it a good game? No. It's just an intentionally disturbing, emotionally manipulative, intentionally unsatisfying game.

    -Atmosphere gets hit really big. A problem naugthy dog always had but in game are very unrealistic scenarios that kills the game for me. Like in uncharted were the ground beneath you just did crumble too often, or young Nathan gets suddenly chased by 20+ agents and makes out of it. Here are the same problems with clickers and how stupid the characters behave(so you can have a dramatic story).

    -The story, well not everyone is a troll hat spends the whole day online. Some people read great stories in books and game from time to time. To say it simple if it would be a book I would throw it away after reading. This is not a good story, it has an over focus on drama. These people probably think a good story comes out of how painful it is for the characters in it, like some artist that thinks true Art comes from painting an Image mostly black. But overall structure, deepness, play between the different strings the story sets out gets ignored. So this game is. The story wants to show you a big drama by not good structured means and comes with very forced acts. Probably the writers did loose themselves in their personal vision. A story does not need a happy ending to be good, but these story delivers just an emptiness no deeper message you could also have shown in a Call of duty, probably the message you get is that everything is bad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My biggest gripe being Joel's death. It felt so undignified. He was acting all out of character, and his brother. I am not mad that he died bc it was bound to happen with him being that "mentor" character. But the way he died made no sense. Lets look back in the first game. It was established that Joel is a seasoned survivor that is not very trusting of new people. So much so as in running over a stranger who was calling for help in the streets bc he saw that it was a trap. He was very careful and cautious of basically everything.

    All of that was absent in this game. Him and Tommy just trusted Abby's group and told them their real names. No sense of caution, or carefulness even though they were all about that in the previous game. They made them stupid and killed Joel for no reason other than plot convenience. They needed him to die so Ellie can have a revenge plot. On top of it all, they had the audacity to make us play as Abby for half the game. Why would we want to play as her? She was so boring and uninteresting. We came for Ellie and Joel, not Abby. It's like when in Halo 5 you played as Locke for more than half the game when everyone wanted to play as Chief. I would've been fine with his death if we at least got to play Joel and didn't kill him so quickly. The trailers were so misleading, implying Joel would have a mush more import role in the story and selling a completely different tone than what was expected. And I know they wanted to "subvert expectations" but this was an example of a great concept but very poor execution and has The Last Jedi vibes.

    Lastly, the ending sucked. Ellie should've killed Abby. It was established in the first game that Joel was the most important person in Ellie's life (she even said this). And for her to let Abby live and basically save her, it's like that wasn't present. I guess she forgot. I know they were going for a "revenge bad" theme but when you killed EVERY SINGLE person in Abby's group EXCEPT Abby herself felt so damn unsatisfying. What even was the point of this game? What did they spend 7 years on? Clunky mechanics and a half-made story?

    I didn't like this game. The graphics look OKAY at best but nothing really impressed me. The level design was poor and felt really handheld. How convenient as we walk through a ruined city that every single window is boarded up except the ONE window the game wants me to go in. Mechanics were almost the same as the first game but somehow felt more clunky. Most of the side characters are either boring, useless (looking at Dina), or both. Again, what did they spend 7 years on? I would've given this a 0/10 at first but after collecting my thoughts, I'd give it a 2/10 bc the game was at the very least able to run.

The Last of Us (Part 1 I suppose) had great gameplay, an amazing cast of characters, and was beautifully written. It was an almost universally loved game, dare I say a masterpiece. After many years of anticipation are theorizing, we were given the garbage that is The Last of Us Part 2. A gorgeous game with fantastic gameplay was butchered with identity politics / pandering and terrible story decisions. A certain someone died, that isn't the issue. It is how and why he died. He was a complete badass in the first game and almost had a war hero vibe about him. Very smart and careful (same for his brother), you're telling me he just trusts everyone and gives out his name after what happened in the first game? Gimme a break. Then there's another elephant in the room: playing as a complete nobody and a MA'AM with no emotional journey who happens to be the person who kills our hero, you know an actually liked and developed character from the past. There is also the way the developers (a certain one especially) treated the situation of the earlier leaks (thank God for that since I saved my money). Striking down channels for opinions, really? They mad an already bad situation significantly worse. I personally was hoping the leaks were fake, but seeing how Naughty Dog and Sony responded, I knew there was something up. This game is comparable to the terrible writing and treatment of fans that took place with Star Wars: The Last Jedi, along with Game of Thrones S8. It's a shame what the industry is has turned into. All these so-called "critics" giving this game flawless reviews are no more than yes-men and "woke" social justice warriors (who may I remind you don't care about the story and canon). I can probably write more, but let this be a lesson Naughty Dog and Sony. You lost a long time fan. This was going to be the reason I got my PS5 (I sold my PS4 Pro earlier).
