    Not the experience we were led to believe it would be, it completely discards the experience and the memories left with the first game all for a poorly structured game that focuses on trying to tell a story that would much be suited for an original project.

No character feels the same and all of them feel oddly parodic of how they'd usually be, the new characters fail to be interesting and provide zero incentive to push a plot ahead such as Abby defecting with a person she's barely shared enough time with to discard the feelings she has for those she spent years with, all of the WLF are very one sided and exist to be discarded while providing little to no substance and Ellie just seems out of character and like she's written by someone who has little knowledge on how she is, which funnily enough isn't the case. The combat fails to be innovative and feels like it's been plucked from the first game and the story has a lot of monotonous points as well as cheapest transitions I've seen in writing (e.g. Time skips to avoid telling a story) and ultimately misses the mark with the moral the story tries to tell when never once is the motive of revenge questioned.

    TLOU should have never had a sequel and remained as a standalone game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When if ever has a game gotten 10's across the board? Never not even greats like GTA 5, Zelda or any Halo got this.

    The hypocrisy and attack on anyone who does not like this game is absolutely astonishing. I have never in my life seen a game so protected by the media or by social media giants who ban people for their opinions. This is absolute madness.

    I give credit to the games graphics and sound, they are nice yes, but everything else is horrible. Firstly they kill Joel like a dog at the beginning of the game and then the rest of the game is a fight between a lesbian and a woman who looks like a man hulk. There is no progression on the story or the virus or the world around them. It's like a soap opera where people are cheating on each other, sleeping with each other and killing people from the opposite faction.

    Firstly why is Ellie an anorexic? how does she go toe to toe with a giant body builder? WTF? she takes punches to the face that would knock out any person, this is just so unrealistic. Why did they make Ellie look ugly in the later years? she looks like an activist and does nothing else worthwhile in the game. The ending is trash! I under stand if the game was going for an empire strikes back vibe, but it just sucked completely. It makes me never want to play another game by naughty dog again!

    "A bigot sandwich!" really? Everyone already accepts LGBTQ community, but it seems that the devs want to place these characters on a giant soap box just to declare their sexual orientation to the world wtf enough already. This game is an epic fail and only exposes how corrupt the games industry has become!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the biggest disappointments of all time. Game of thrones season 8 storytelling, gameplay honestly isnt much different from the first and yes that is important. People say “nobody plays for the gameplay” my ass. Look at death stranding it had a amazing story but aint nobody give a crap cause its gameplay was boring. This isnt boring gameplay wise but it is pretty bland. I gave it a 1 instead of a 0 because at least the graphics are significantly improved and hell, pretty groundbreaking. Its a beautiful game visually. They sacrificed everything about the game in order to force abby on everyone. It was even advertised as a joel and ellie game again and he dies 15-20 minutes in. They altered game material to show joel in the trailers but it was false advertising as they weren’t actually real, just changed scenes to make you believe this game is about joel and ellie when its really you playing a majority as this new character who is one of the most unlikeable protagonists in history. No amount of story saves the game either, the ending is horrible, the reasoning for actions is terrible. They use the cliche overused revenge is bad and “maybe we are the monsters after all” plotlines and all that moral high ground crap thats always used. Cause life always plays out like perfect karma right? The story is like luke blowing up the death star and then one of the stormtroopers onboard it had a kid who comes and kills luke instantly in the following movie for revenge. Joel even saves the new characters life right before she kills him and she doesnt even ask for his side of the story (the characters name is abby but i am saying new character so even people who havent played can tell who i am referring too). Honestly dont even want to give it a 1 but i feel like it gets that much cause of graphics and smooth unbuggy gameplay. It has good animations as well. The mocap is really well done. But metacritic is deleting low score reviews because of bombing even though people are bombing for a reason. Yet the people counter bombing or just straight up fanboy 5 star reviews all can stay. Its straight up altered scoring at that point. If the peoples opinion as a total doesnt matter then what is a point of user scores. Oh, user scores matter if they are good for AAA games. Unless its something like fallout 76 or anthem. They let people be honest on those. But not this lmao. Fanboys run the site and only let it be unbiased if it goes along with their views.… Expand

    I finally picked this game up a week ago, after reading all the reviews and watching the spoiler videos pre launch. I knew it would be a tough pill to swallow. I decided to tough my way through the emotions and just give it a chance. Have to say that all the hate is misguided and this is an absolute masterpiece. No one should have been allowed to review until they beat the entire game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was excited for this sequel. I saw the gameplay and I was hooked. It was an evolution of what come before in The Last of Us: Part 1 [retroactively]. I have no qualms with the gameplay. I think the mechanics are fine. I love the addition of the prone position to crawl under cars for stealth which also further supports the AI mechanics to check under cars. A dodge button is nice for close combat. I'm waiting on the multiplayer at this point. Sadly, that's where my praise for this game ends. It is a meandering incoherent mess. It's narrative is phenomenally trash. I honestly have no idea how this got approved by anyone. Neil said he had thought about the story for two years before he was ready "to make sure it was a story worth telling as a sequel to the original The Last of Us." It is a failure. It says it's a different game, but it does the same thing. Kills a character in the beginning of the game. It just takes two hours opposed to half an hour in the original game. I only played five minutes of horse riding as said future dead character, but it's fine since we played as said character throughout the entirety of the original game. Sure, that is true. The difference is said character experienced a time skip. I don't know how this person changed. How am I supposed to believe the situations they are placed in? "Oh, don't worry. It will be explained at the end of the game.", says Neil Druckmann. Which is a lackluster scene since context of two characters conversation of said previous night's "confrontation" was discussed and anyone and everyone can assume what happened. Also, we saw most of the scene in the E3 church trailer. For some reason, Neil thought it was a good idea to take those scenes and splice them throughout the game. It's incoherent. Neil wants me to like characters that I just met with random weaknesses to make them seem human, yet I don't care about any of them. Not even characters from the first game. I don't care about Joel, Ellie, Tommy, or Maria. The game didn't give me time nor did it take adequate time to make me care. It's wake up. Grab knife. Grab bag. Leave for patrol. We meet and get a shallow understanding of some people, but the narrative is so focused on rushing to Joel's death I can't experience the world or the characters. It didn't let me sit and stew with these people. Nah. Kill Joel. Small couple of scenes of the aftermath. Smash cut to Seattle. Somehow didn't face any issues getting to Seattle. We just get dropped into a wide sandbox area. It's an odd situation this game placed itself in. I think this is due to the praise Neil received for his first game. I assume he thought he could do whatever he wanted and it would be good, but the issue is The Last of Us did a good job of setting up the tropes of their game. Lemme throw another comparison your way. "Oh, baby girl." is a sentence Joel says after he finds Ellie dicing David's head with a machete. This is a moment of acceptance for Joel. He accepts her as his family. As a daughter. Abby tries to do the same thing. She says, "You're my people." to Lev. Which makes little sense since they have know each other for approximately a single day. It isn't poignant because Abby wasn't resisting as Joel did. Abby felt guilt and was like yeah. This will absolve me of my guilt. It's an torturous game to trudge through. Arduous. I thought it was odd when some fans were saying, "Don't make a sequel to The Last of Us. Don't ruin such a great game." We all should have listened. It's unfortunate, but this is the reality we live in. A sequel to a unanimously praised game is phenomenally divisive. Can a game where half of the audience doesn't think it's good truly be called a good game. What does my perspective matter? I'm just another dumb virgin gamer. It's not like I have an actual degree in writing.… Expand

    Except for excellent animations (the best in games' history) and very good graphics, this game has one extra plus. It reminds us how good was MGS V gameplay and how tongue-in-cheek Kojima's writing is superb to Druckmann's graphomania.

More open levels spaces gave you a free will to gain your targets. And exploration is just pure fun.

El juego argumentalmente tiene otros errores: la deshumanización de Ellie y la hypersexualizacion innecesaria de varios personajes creando más una declaración de intenciones que un contexto en el juego (para mi su mayor error)

    Mucha gente critica a Abby, personalmente me ha parecido más interesante el personaje de Abby que el de Ellie en este juego. Ellie está cegada con su objetivo y prácticamente en eso se reduce su hilo argumental. Ese es otro de sus errores, destrozar argumental e intencionalmente a Ellie.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm rating this a 5/10 because the gameplay, graphics and mechanics are amazingly done. However, the story was terrible. As a single player only, linear based story game it absolutely didn't hit the mark. This games story is all over the place and it tries to make you care about characters you've never heard of before this game. The ending was a disaster, they killed off their best character in the most meaningless most stupid way. The whole story is pointless. As a huge fan of Naughty Dog I'm sad to see this happen. I have no idea if Neil Druckmann is to blame for this garbage fire of a story. Whoever approved it is an idiot and should be fired. And to those who think that I hate this game because you play as a female character, you're wrong. I hate it because it disrespects the original characters for a new never before seen characte that no one cares for although the game tries so hard to make you care. And I have no problem playing a a female character in games. Actually I prefer it, horizon zero dawn, is a good example of this, I had very little issues with that game, compared to this.… Expand

The Last of Us Part II is a really good game with new game mechanics, wider variety in level design, insane level of graphical fidelity and an absurd amount of accessibility options that sets the new standards of fiddling with the game, but it is not a worthy sequel to the beloved "The Last of Us" that came in 2013, because of two reasons: story pacing and deviation from the source.

    In terms of story pacing, the game is divided into two halves which is played out from the perspective of two playable characters. The first half of the game ends on the cliffhanger with both protagonist facing each other. Now, at this moment, the perspective of the game is switched to the second protagonist. The problem here is that we know we have to reach the earlier cliffhanger, so even after four of my playthroughs, I just tried to rush to the part where both protagonist meet. That made the second half almost irrelevant to me, thereby not making me invest in that character and not because of a certain incident many people are enraged about.

    Another major factor, which has become downfall of various series, movies an other entertainment medium of storytelling is the deviation from the actual source. In The Last of Us II, the game does not focus on two primary factors on which the prequel focused on: The Infected and Ellie's immunity. Rather than using them as the medium used to drive the story, they are left as an afterthought. They took a backseat to the revenge story that Neil Drukmann was so desperate to tell, you can actually see that this particular storyline was rejected by many game development teams, including Bruce Straley himself. Here is a video which explains it in a more elaborate way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c9F0oCMRw4&t=9s. His fixation on this plot is what makes the story of this game not worth the sequel we deserve.

    I was conflicted in scoring this game either a 5 or 6, but I would rate it a 6 just because Naughty Dog's developers had gone to the lengths to make the gameplay, level design and the graphics more engaging than most of the games on the market.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I will only talk about what "strong" Naughty Dog

    "Attention to detail"
    • To put the activated Molotov cocktail in the bag is strong!
    • The crossbow is stronger than the bow, but the bow kills with a single blow, the crossbow does not.
    • Use arrows from a corpse? You're kidding!
    • To craft the ammo? No problem!! To craft the arrows? What are you doing? (Abby)
    • I see arrows in the quiver of a dead NPC but I can't pick them up!
    • The invisible ally runs in the face of the enemy, all right.
    • The weapon does not jam or jam after water, moisture, dust, dirt! Perfectly!
    • There are no weapon parts in the car under the hood or in the trunk ? O_O
    • Feed your horses for a 3-day trip to Seattle? Much cooler to throw a ball to a dog!
    * Once activated, the generator runs forever
    • Special forces against knives!
    • You never will never fit through a huge gap that any human being could fit through!
    • Of course, not one car in a hundred has a drop of gas, and I have to go to a basement full of monsters!
    • Of course, my backpack won't hold more than two rounds of pistol ammo! But the flamethrower will fit perfectly!
    • Crawling through the ventilation system? It will break and you will fall-always.
    • Explore - > Shoot - > Talk, and that's it.
    • Containers are the engine of gameplay! Have you played portal games? What are you complaining about?
    • Team-killing with your partner in agreement? Huh? Are you in call of duty?
    • Using your own Pets by special forces (abby) - why?!
    • Living in a strict religious family, where disobedience can be punished without thinking, begins to shake the rights, because she is a boy? Are you serious? at 10 years old? Do you have children? (how dare I, right?)
    • The sect lives on an island, why don't we control the coast to isolate them from the mainland? What for? we can just walk through the woods and die from their traps!
    • What is the essence of the sect (scars)? Maybe I should have made another third of the game about them? We are no longer interested, so why not learn their difficult fate?
    • Why are the problems of fungal people not solved? I want to know what gender they identify with!
    • Judging by the first scenes for Abby, she is very cool to her father. However, I spent a lot of time in training and fighting. Conclusion - the present of its environment it is the soldiers. However,when a sniper kills her friend in front of her, she just throws him into the water! (special forces can't swim what are you doing)Where was the Golf club?
    • The commander of the military special forces, releases a whole squad (15 people) in the winter, in an unknown territory with a large uncontrolled city, to kill the offender of ten years ago at one of the soldiers of the squad. They also went to kill every scar that killed the father/mother of any soldier? What happens to the game logic?
    • Joel from one standing on the road robber knows how to understand that this is an ambush, but the phrase "I have a lot of friends here" near the places of your patrol, where no one should be, does not cause any questions (with its kind of special forces especially)

    Some strange "details"

    This won't be everyone's cup of tea, The Last of Us Part 2 is fittingly uncomfortable if not depressing sequel, that will take you more out of your comfort zone than any this generation, to deliver a story with more weight than the first that also expands upon the relationships and consequences of the first installment while also delivering it's own and putting the player in conflictingThis won't be everyone's cup of tea, The Last of Us Part 2 is fittingly uncomfortable if not depressing sequel, that will take you more out of your comfort zone than any this generation, to deliver a story with more weight than the first that also expands upon the relationships and consequences of the first installment while also delivering it's own and putting the player in conflicting situations.

    Though at times it feels as if the game is trying to tell a more emotional story with important themes, while leaning too much on gratuitous violence (while understandable for the setting) as if it hasn't grown up too much since 2013.
    None the less, this is a game that doesn't pull it's punches and Naughty Dog have delivered another cinematic adventure, it's definitely an experience that as a fan of video games I'd say is worth playing.

    People hating on it for the themes of identity and sexual preference discussed was sadly way too easy to see coming and my advice is they need to get over themselves and maybe reflect inward.
    Stop rating 0/10 for the sake of it, which then causes people to rate 10/10 to counter it, just skewing the ratings even more -_-    … Expand

    This sequel is more like a survival game than the continuity of the first one. It's less a Naughty Dogs narrative game, and more a video game. And i think this is the way it should be, like the path they took for The Lost Legacy.
    Perhaps the story is not very interesting between the two girls.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only thing coming for this game are the visuals, the graphics and the soundtrack. All of these are amazing and are the only reason the game comes close to a 6. Meanwhile, the storytelling, while it would be "ok" for another franchise from another unknown developer, it is mindblowingly worse compared not only to the first Last of Us but also to almost every other game in Naughty Dog's catalog. The story is repetitive, bringing a stupid concept about "revenge bad" that is constantly hammered in the players head, but it is also meaningless, with the whole story being driven by Ellie's desire to take revenge only not to do it at the last minute. It teaches the player nothing and is absolutely upsetting and even disappointing for most of the fanbase. The characters are quickly introduced and are not developed in any way, but sometimes I think they shouldn't be, since most of them are killed and forgotten about 5 minutes later. Everything the game had coming for it, specially coming from a amazing game that is LoU, it's thrown away for a bad storytelling and quick cash grab. Not only could this game give players second thoughts when buying a Naughty Dog game, it can also make the writer/ Neil Druckman's career questionble or even worthless; when someone who wrote the first Last of Us or even the best games on the Uncharted franchise writes the generic and lame story this game presents. At the end, Joel's death was nothing more than a stupid way to star a meaningless revenge story that ends in nothing. At the end, this game deserves nothing more than a 5, a 5 that is only there because of visuals.… Expand

    This is a game for adults. For people who lived tragedies, disappointments, who felt the pain in the guts. And for no reason - because this is the way life works. My respects for the bravery of the producers to go with such a story. They've known for sure that they will get angry a lot of "immature" fans - kind of super-hero type of movies (all is good and happy in the end)

    Spoiler-Free Review

    Intro

    The Last of Us Part II is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2013 masterpiece that throws our main cast of character into an unexpected turn of events. Due to the controversy surrounding the game narrative, and my own conflicting feelings after completing the game, The Last of Us Part II will surely be talked about for a while, for better or for worse.

    Story/World Building - 1/3

    I am normally a huge fan of Naughty Dog’s narrative, but the story in Part II is lackluster at best and hilariously funny at worse. New characters are poorly written and many are not given enough screen time making most characters like Dina, Jesse, or [REDACTED SPOILER] feel lifeless and inconsequential to the plot. Consider how the game stretches its thin and basic plot to almost 30 hours, you would think we would spend more time to learn about these new characters, but most screen time is taken up in the second half by [REDACTED SPOILER]. Most of the game’s plot felt like filler as it tries to poorly tell a story about the cycle of revenge, stooping characters down to basic character traits to fit the story narrative. There are a few heartwarming scenes from time to time that will make fans of the original happy, but once the game is going on to the second half, it goes downhill from there. If you’re planning to play Part II for its story, you might want to wait for a heavy discount before doing so.

    Gameplay – 3/4

    The great combat from the original is back and better than ever. Bigger landscapes give way for more tactical options. New weapons and crafting options help in providing varied gameplay scenarios that can be tackled in a multitude of ways. Everything works as expected besides the few technical hiccups. AI can be dumb at times or a stray bullet may go through a wall and kill you. It’s nothing that bad unless you’re playing on the hardest difficulty. The only downside besides the minor glitches is the lack of a multiplayer. The campaign is lengthy enough and can even drag on due to it’s over winded story, but the gameplay is still as intense and frantic as the original.

    Technical/Performance – 2/3

    Graphics are some of the best looking on the PS4 console. Technical hiccups still happen occasionally, as stated in the gameplay segment. Harder difficulties can make problems worse and at times can lead to the game feeling less polished than the original. The soundtrack is pretty good, a little less memorable than the first. Overall, it’s still close to a technical masterpiece but looks don’t make up for a lackluster story.

    Verdict

    The Last of Us Part II is a game of disappointing lows and really spectacular highs. It’s everything you wanted from the sequel and everything you did not want all at the same time. I want to like this game but the boring, elongated story is just painful enough to make it a slog to get through even with great gameplay. If you’re a fan of the original, you might want to wait for a price drop, as there are some scenes still worth seeing, but for those not the invested in this series, this might be a hard skip.    … Expand

If i were playing this game for its gameplay, it could be a solid 8, but me as everyone else play it for the story and the characters, and sadly they were both killed in every possible way, so a middle ground 5 is the correct note. Let alone the agenda and swj elements, even without them the story would be awful, and let's not even talk about the ending. It will sell good of course but i hope nd change the way they are working going forward. Oh and btw, games are entertainment, not propaganda, if they start to become that, a new rating system showing it beforehand should be implemented.

    While it is a linear narrative game, as to be expected from ND, it took me on such a personal journey I haven't quite been able to get it out of my head after all these months. It is a lesson in empathy done in perhaps the most gruesome and hurtful way possible, because if it wasn't then it wouldn't hit you as hard as it should.

    There are still glimpses of actual happiness full of charming dialogue, but I do seriously suggest you skip this if you're not in the best place in life. As for anyone that wants to see the continuation of Part 1 and are able to take a week off to emotionally recover once done, go ahead and brace yourself.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. По технической части все прекрасно.Игра вылизана до идеала.В подобных играх начинаешь верить в магию оптимизации.ПС4 слим выдавала отличную картинку для своих мощностей.

    В плане механик практически ничего нового не увидел.Просто что то немного допилили,добавили ползание и все.Боевка по сути полностью аналогичная первой части.В первой части она и так была однообразна,но игра была короткой и не успевала надоесть.

    Интеллект врагов.Проходил на реализме и у меня есть вопросы.Враги меняют свои действия лишь когда ты за ними идешь.Например,9 из 10 случаев поведение врага абсолютно идентично, но стоит тебе пойти за ним так он сразу начинает менять путь,может резко обернуться хотя он меня не слышал или начать крутить головой.Они дико точные.Попадают чуть ли не через всю карту.Из укрытия даже выглянуть не удается.Их обучал Леголас,не иначе)Иногда не реагируют на точные выстрелы в них будто терминаторы.Крупные враги не умирают от выстрела в голову.У них,видимо,череп из стали.При прочесывании территории они идут прямо на тебя будто все знают,где ты,хотя ни разу не палился.В общем реализмом не пахнет.Враги Леголасы,Нострадамусы и терминаторы в одном флаконе.

    Я дико сгорел когда только-только прокачанную Элли поменяли на нулевую Эбби.Для чего я страдал пол игры я вообще не понял.Все усилия впустую.Даже новые изученные скиллы опробовать не удалось.Невероятно глупая идея делить игру на 2 персонажей.

    Сюжетий.Вполне себе.Ничего выдающегося.Всякие гении могут хоть до потери пульса кричать,что сюжет невероятно глубок.Там все на поверхности.Не нужно быть гением, чтобы все понять.Вторая половина игры вообще не работает ибо Эбби дико скучный и мразотный персонаж.То что она выглядит максимально не естественно это дело десятое.За нее играть настолько душно насколько это вообще возможно.1 ее миссия:Выехала с базы и вернулась на базу.Офигеть интересно.2-я:спасать Оуэна на которого мне абсолютно фиолетово.Он был в сюжете 5 минут.С чего вдруг он должен быть мне инетересен?Мразь она потому,что она убила бы беременную,если бы не Лев.И так далее.Ее ветка унылейшая.Вытягивает лишь часть на острове из-за дикого экшена.Джоэла,конечно,убили максимально жестоко.Я офигел)Возникал диссонанс из-за рефлексии Элли на пытку/убийство Мэл,когда ею были убиты куча болванчиков.Видимо,эти болванчики переданы настолько живыми,что возникает этот диссонанс.

    Последняя миссия Элли дико душная.Все однообразие геймплея настолько надоедает,что я чуть не бросил игру.К тому же в конце по стелсу пройти нереально,а для боя нет ресурсов)Идеально.Пришлось тупо пробегать.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I hope someone see this review amongst the insane barrage of hate surrounding this game. It would be too easy to say that all these folks are spamming zeroes because they have political agendas that rival this game's messages or that they simply did not understand the narrative. I assume the problem lies within the narrow vision through which players viewed it. Joel's death is something a lot of us expected but not in the way it's showcased here, just a mere 2 hours into the story. Let me debunk the reviews which are solely based on someone's anger about Joel's death. If you would have paid attention to the game, you would have realize that Naughty Dog spends the entire **** narrative trying to justify the choice to kill Joel off. The implications of the first game's ending are explored so deeply here, you cannot help yourself but feel for Ellie and her loss. But Abby's perspective is also explored. Those that complain about the message being too simple and overused, you forget that the first game was not complex at all, it held together the story with character chemistry and drama. "Revenge is bad" is such an oversight, it's actually insane how many adults describe this game that way. No story is original, it's borrowed from the past. No message is new, it's either old or revised to sound well for the new generations. This game presents its themes in a satisfying manner, not leaving anything out of the picture. There are many layers to the post-apocalyptic world shown in The Last of Us 2. Everyone's actions have consequences and everyone is flawed. This is truly gray morale, something that's missing from popular media nowadays. The ending is a bit long but it makes perfect sense within the context of the story. If not for false marketing and some weak side characters, this game would be a 10/10. Please, do yourself a favor and play this game. Keep an open mind and you will be satisfied.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was highly anticipated by everyone and without a doubt it should be because of how great the first game is. However, because of that big burden and expectation it is carrying, it is also a curse for the game. Players expected so much and rightfully so we should be! However, when you play the game you will see a big different from part 1 to 2. Below is my pros and cons.
    Pros
    Voice Acting – amazing, I think this is where they hit the mark.
    Music – a good balance of music and soundtrack used. (Not the best but good for the game)
    Sound effects – I feel it used right elements to bring the game to life with its sound effects
    Graphics – this is kind of mixed for me. At one point it looks amazing with facial expression on point, but another looks dull, lightning is bad, part 1 looks more beautiful and some motion capture is stiff. At best I can honestly say its just plain good and not great, still get a positive for me.
    Cons
    Story – This is were ND blew this game, I know that they were successful in shock value. I was shocked to know that Joel died but man it was executed poorly. Look at how Aerith died in FF7, the music, the sacrifice the pay off, it is all there. But TLOU 2 just killed a main character with no pay off and no meaning behind it. I am OK with killing Joel but do it the right way like a sacrifice for the better good or something. He is out of character; everyone is out of character. I understand why a lot of people put 0/10 as score because the first game is full of story while this one just fell flat.
    Characters – Dull, unengaging, out of character. Some parts are cool, but it will not make the whole game for me.
    Gameplay – it is OK at best but the reason why I put it here is because it is the same old gameplay. Minor changes that is boring. The last “boss fight” does not feel like any boss fight. This game is not revolutionary, and we have a lot of zombie games out there, RE 2 is whole lot better than this. TLOU distinction from other games was the story but sadly this was ruined. I like the guitar playing though I find it cool.
    Bugs – Too many bugs for it to be a masterpiece, this I cannot understand why the hell it got amazing scores. Bugs like missing character models and teleporting characters… for a AAA game it’s a shame for it to have this.
    Total for me 2/10 – This game fails so bad in story telling that all the good points will be forfeited. Some might still like it specially those who has no attachment to the first game but even if you did not pay the first game you will be dumbfounded by their decision and character choices. Not a fun game, just all hype and big disappointment.
    Stay away from the game. If you want to play it, rent or buy it second hand.    … Expand

    This really did not seem to be a SJW game in the sense where it made women seem more capable physically and mentally versus the men in the game. It's just a game where women just so happened to be at the core of the conflict.

This game treats femininity like Kill Bill, Alien, Underwater, and even Wonder Woman. The women in this game are competent and have been trained through their survival to be rugged and crafty. The men in the game were not done like Poe or Luke from star wars so that the women in the game looked better. The men were competent and trained to survive as well.

    Great first game and so much terrible the second. Part two only about music and graphics, but not about good gameplay and story, so sad to take this after all years of waiting the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I highly anticipated this game. I think to this day that TLOU 1 is simply one of the top 3 games ever made. The gameplay was simple but felt not at any point boring. The graphics were astonishing and the story was perfect from the beginning till the end. One of the few games I really shed some tears. The Last of Us 2 tries so hard to fit into its part one shoes that it lost the tone which made it so great. Some things are great like the graphics and motion capture are almost perfect. The linear lvl design is almost all the time great and the melee combat feels real. But there are things which are truly not good from a players standpoint. The standard AI feels sometimes more dumb than the first one, yes I know you can rank the difficulty up, but that only helps to a certain degree. I wished for more enemy diversity to be more precise the infected. It feels like, "just more of the same". And the last important point is the story. All the different emotions I felt in first few minutes into the first one where unbelievable. There was only one moment I felt something for any of the characters and that one was Joel. All the others even Elli felt like only driven by one emotion and my empathy for anyone was very limited. Everything in the story felt like such a generic revenge story and there are many games which did it better. I watched the ending in disbelieve and sat there for a minute and asked myself: "that was it?" After such a long time playing this game(the playing time was for me about 20-30h I am not sure right now) it didn´t felt satisfying. I am truly, truly heartbroken for how they decided to handle the story archs. Was it a bad game? No, from the gameplay standpoint I didn´t think so. Was it a good game? No, the story destroyed my expirience completely. The hole plot from the first is perfect. The second one feels like: "We have to put this theme on it, REVENGE, REVENGE, REVENGE. No other thing has a place in it." I will play the first one, again and again but this game is done for me. Sad but true...… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's so unfortunate that it has come to this.

    The feeling of disappointment is overwhelming. The game first sets you up with taking out the main character (Joel) for what feels like mere shock value. Then has you chasing down the killer for the first half a game only to turn you 180 and feel like you need to start making a connection with Joel's killer which you now control. It seems like they had all these "cool" ideas but totally forgot what made The Last of Us Part 1 so good story wise. Only out of sheer will to see this train-wreck I continued playing as Abby.

    Graphics and Gameplay are great, but really are we getting TLOUP2 for graphics and gameplay? We know even if you turned up the original a bit it was going to be smooth to play. This story is just a mess, you had rich and vibrant characters from the original and just let it go to waste.

    None of the Dina and Ellie story bothered me, nice to see them try but its hard to have a connection with Dina because it was just so bland.    … Expand

    This game is just perfect. Perfect in it's stupidity. It can't get any worse than this. I can't believe we lost Amy Hennig's ND for a dumb turd of a game like this. That story was just a huge insult to all the fans. Great way to appeal to the .01% of the population, who isn't even part of ND's fan base. Bring back the old Naughty Dog.

    The graphics are really good and detailed, the gameplay isn't that groundbreaking, the story absolutely sucks, lacks charm, the new character has both a boring personality and background. While this kind of story may be something new in the videogame world, it's not when you compare it with movies or books.

    O mesmo já não posso dizer sobre a história do game. De fato, não vi nenhum tipo de lacração na história e acabei por ter me equivocado em uma de minhas afirmativas na respeito da mesma. No entanto, a história é bem clichê.

    Não sou escritor ou coisa do tipo, porém acredito que teria sido melhor uma história de perseguição a Ellie com sua morte no final do game. Afinal, ela é a cura para o vírus, e teria de ser feito seu sacrifício em prol de uma vacina como mencionado no primeiro jogo, e reforçado no segundo.

    O contexto poderia ser esse com os diretores se aprofundando nessa narrativa, e criando várias linhas da história a partir disso. Ellie sendo perseguida por ser a CURA da humanidade junto de Joel, responsável por matar vários personagens no hospital por puro egoísmo.

    A história do primeiro não é tudo isso. Contudo, gerou impacto no desenvolvimento e intimidade entre os dois protagonistas. Enquanto que sua sequência não me fora gerado impacto algum.

    Enfim, nota 8.7/10. Eu poderia dar 10/10 para esse jogo no que ele se propõe a entregar no universo dele, só que para isso necessitaria de ter tido uma história decente.    … Expand

The interaction between the 2 were great and realistic. It breaks my heart on how Naughty Dog decided to remove this completely right at the start of the game The story was just a disaster, it was a mess. It's very unfortunate that I have to give a bad review to Naughty Dog as I was a fan of them but this game was disappointing indeed. What holds this game up to hitting a 4 though was the graphics and gameplay, but besides that the rest is terrible. Story and character development was amazing in the first game but in this one it's missing that element.… 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.
