    The Game of My Life! -Worstest Part-

    Congratulation! I never recommend this game everyone. and forever.

    When I saw Joel's end, it was unpleasantly unimaginable, and my expectations for the Playstation 5, which has not yet been released, have disappeared.

    If you are a fan of the first game, do not buy this. Pretend it doesn’t exist. Why naughty dog chose to go this way I have no idea. There is no pay off. The game ends with no closure. The story is painful. You play as a character you absolutely hate for half of the game. Actually torture.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay. I really tried to like this game. This game should have been good and i do believe that it is a good game but only if you have not played the first game. The quality of the voice acting is amazing, the graphics (at least on the PS4 pro) are great and i think the environments from the aesthetics of each location down to the environmental storytelling, through notes and such, is done superbly. Hell actually playing the game is quite fun. Where this game lacks is its prime narrative.

    The last of us part two is entirely unfaithful to the characters that were set up in the first game. If your reading this review i am sure you already know that Joel dies. This alone has been a very controversial event and i want to break it down a little bit. People are not angry that Joel is dead. Everyone knew he was going to die, i didn't see any of the pre-release spoilers but i knew Joel was going to die. It makes sense in this world and for his character. the previous title already made it very clear that Joel is a man who has very few moral lines left to cross, who has done things that will mean his hands will never be clean. It makes sense that something from his former years will catch up to him. What has pissed people off is the way they handled his death. I think its very naive of naughty dog to think that killing off one of the most beloved characters in gaming would bring anything but backlash.

    Games are a medium which need to, to an extent, evoke emotion and that is one thing this game dose not lack. I was sad, angry but mostly disappointed that such a massive personality in gaming would be removed in such a half arsed, brutal way that is handled so poorly. Joel as a character that we are invested in deserved a better death that being helplessly tortured in front of Ellie, before having his brains bashed in. So your telling me that the continuation of the story, that literally gave me faith and respect for the artists (Devs) that create in this medium, is over. Just like that. bang! done! That is it. One of the most compelling plot devices and relationships in the whole of gaming is done. And maybe i could have forgiven that. Maybe it could have been a good way to drive us as the player and really, really explore what hatred, anger and revenge will do too someone and the consequences of these actions and at first i thought that, that is where it was going. And to an extent they explored this with Ellie's torture scene and the killing of Mel, Abby's pregnant 'friend', and yes it did go further as you see Ellie after coming back from Seattle is suffering from PTSD but this didn't go far enough in my opinion.

    I think that one of the key failures of this game is that its trying to be this big sweeping narrative where the bad guys can also be the good guys and vice versa but it just dose not work and it falls flat because we as the player do not care in the slightest about Abby and her motivations. i actually thought Abby's motivation was actually handled quite well. i think that this game being so heavily linked to the firsts ending is a very good idea. but once again we don't care about her. It dose not matter how many sad flashbacks there is or how many zebras you save with Abby's dad. The player, especially if they have played the first game, automatically hates her. And the game has the audacity to push into playing as her so you feel some kind of emotional investment in her as a character but by that point its too late. She has already been portrayed as a **** evil, psychopath which if anything is only supported once you have finished her game-play section. In my honest opinion the third and forth acts where you play as Abby are awful and so uninspired.

    Now the ending. Oh my god.
    I wont be commenting on any specifics as the final act of the game was not reviled in the leaks from a few weeks back but all i will say is its **** There is no conceivable reason as to why ellie would act the way she dose at the end and yes i know its a commentary on revenge and how a path of revenge will only lead to your own downfall. Its a play on the saying "If your going on a path of revenge, dig two graves" but i still feel this falls flat.

    Basically i gave this game everything i could. i tried very hard but it has failed. And one of the worst things about it is that it makes you go through a emotional roller coaster with absolutely no reward or sense that the story is finished. the best parts of this game are Ellie's flashbacks with Joel. So my plead to naughty dog is this. De-canonise this game and do one of three things. One: never ever touch this IP again, Neil cannot be trusted to write another of these games. Two: remake it and tell the story how it should be told. Three: if you do make another game set it as a prequel to part 2 because the flashbacks that explore Joel and Ellie's relationship are the only truly good parts of this game.    … Expand

    You know, the most farcical aspect of it all, (trying to vilify Joel for the lie and guilt trip us for liking him), is that Ellie wouldn't even be alive to make a sequel if Joel hadn't saved her life at the end of TLOU. That's the level of stupidity we're dealing with here. It's like they're completely ignorant of their own work.

    And later on, they will desperately attempt to convince you what a wonderful person Abby is after murdering our beloved favorite character and she gets away with everything! Apparently because her dad was the Fireflies' surgeon you kill at the end (a random NPC you see for 2 sec that's barely a character.) she's justified somehow. How lovely.

    If you value storytelling, writing, plots, and character development, then this game is master class on how NOT to write your story.

    TLOU2 is NOT a sequel to TLOU, it's an extremely pretentious metacommentary on violence and a statement about the "cycle of the revenge." It's this silly tit for tat revenge story. Not something even worth committing to writing.

    Don't believe most of the positive reviews. They're corporate shills lying to you, saying that we're bots or whatever. PLEASE NOT BUY THIS GAME. I implore you... or you'll be as upset, disappointed, and depressed as I was playing this. The leaks were 100% true and sadly I didn't heed them.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of, I CANNOT believe that THIS is the sequel to one of the greatest games of all time.

    I... why should I write the reason why I give it a 0? The media, the makers, and those who "love" the game will just dimiss eveything I say based on my being "a racist, anti-lgbt incel", and all those other buzzwords. As if I had any issues with the characters in the first game...

    I'll only say this: games like the Last of Us are CHARACTER driven. There are no characters in this game, only marionettes forced to act and make decisions according to the writers' personal believes. This game's story is, and I'm DEAD SERIOUS, nothing short of propaganda, and not even LGBT propaganda neccessarily (although you can't blame me for thinking it is when all male characters in the game are either killed off or retired by the end of it).

    In other words, it qualifies as propaganda by the simple fact that the characters are (so blatantly) forced to act out the ideology and the world-view of the writers to the point of making ridicuouse decisions no person who survived so long in that world would make.

    Art, on the other hand, is creating characters (and setting up their pasts from the get-go!!!) so fully fleshed out that the story practically writes itself.

    I... just can't with this game. Abhorant. Abhorant writing. With games like this I don't care how pretty it looks. It's not why I was willing to pay 60 bucks. Jesus... this just made me even more furiouse. I wasted 60 f*cking dollars on this utter grabage.

    In a nutshell: this game's story feels like the experiment in story telling of an amateur, untalented, hack writer in college who thinks the world of himself... named Neil Druckman.

    The game has also a surprising number of glitches and bugs throughout. What did they work on for 7 years? It sure as hell wasn't the story.

    No. The '0' I gave this game is not exaggerated, not when it's a betrayal thrown into our faces with the expectation to say thank you on top.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love the original last of us, honestly one of the best games. I’m just pretending Part 2 didn’t happen though.

    If Joel had to die I just wish it was done in a different way. When I finished part 2 I felt that his death was cheap and I was forced to try to sympathise with Abby, when I hated every moment I had to play as her. So half the game was terrible.

    Joel saved her life then she just killed him without warning, that’s psychopathic. Yes Joel killed her father, but he was trying to save Elly because he didn’t want to lose another daughter. And her father did pull a knife on him, so I felt that more justified than what Abby did.

    Joel killed out of an act of love, and Abby killed out of an act of revenge. That’s why I will never sympathise with her.

    Joel killed out of love because he didn’t want Elly to die, and there was clear warning beforehand. Abby killed out of hatred for Joel without warning. Joel didn’t even know who she was. Like Joel, her motivation was selfish as well, and worse she dragged her friends into it.

    I hated every moment I had to play as Abby and was left disappointed by the games narrative choices, and it ultimately ruined the game for me.    … Expand

    First, on a technical level this game is an absolute masterpiece. Models, textures everything makes it feel as if you were watching a contemporary blockbuster on Netflix. However, as a game it falls flat: animation that is not scripted seems stuk in the 90's. Backwards crouch walking, walking seems off etc. Voice acting, while professional suffers from whisper syndrome, actors sound tiredFirst, on a technical level this game is an absolute masterpiece.

Despite all the rumors spread before the release of part 2, I still have faith on naughty dog, one of the best game studio ever existed . However, naughty dog disappointed me badly this time ,part 2 has great graphic feature, good combat system , and a disasterious story telling . Joel , a survival expert , a killer machine, who survival countless deadly events, can smell immediate danger in front of someone who pretend to be injured and try to kill joel . And joel just revealed his truely infamous name to bunch of unkown people , surely he just saved that **** but this is post-apocalypse story，he can't be that naive to trust someone just because he save her life. If I were the scriptwriter of part 2， I would rather let Ebby kidnapped Elly as bait to lure joel out，and joel get seriously wounded before getting Elly out of prison. Parents would do anything insane to save their child, that's how joel act inprudently and get himself killed. Anyway, I hate part 2, it just ruin all my fantasy for part one, and neil dickmann, good job at doing it !… Expand

Joel dies in the first hour of the game u play 50% of the game as Abby the person who killed Joel. Joel the character we all love die a slow slow and painful death from a golf club. Ellie try revenge Joel the ending is just silly. The ending is that u finally get Abby and u have the opportunity kill the person who killed Joel and not only Joel almost all people u cared and what u do u let this person go. Yes u let the person who take away everything u had everything u love and u keep only this person alive all people who helped Abby are dead but u keep Abby alive. Also Abby bit off 2 of your fingers at the end of the game so that Ellie can't even play her Guitar anymore the only thing she cared about because this guitar is from Joel so Abby take away all happiness Ellie had but Abby can live a happy life now why? Also the gameplay isn't so much better than part 1 and part 1 had a simple mediocre gameplay. So yeah I would give TLOU part 1 a 7/10 and part 2 a 0/10 because the story and characters the things what made TLOU so special are bad awfully written in part 2.… Expand

Il y'a tellement de scènes gores et crées pour " choquer " le joueur qu'au bout d'un moment elles perdent tout leur impact et te laissent complétement insensible.

    Le jeu est beau mais n'est pas non plus le plus beau jeu jamais crée comme certains disent, et bien que les animations soient propre et travaillées, elles sont loin d'être aussi parfaites et fluides que le gameplay de l'E3. Niveau gameplay à part l'ajout des chiens, c'est exactement la même formule et le même game design que le premier ...

    De manière générale je trouve que ce jeu n'a pas 1/10ème de l'impact et de la qualité de narration que le premier avait, je sais pas ce que Druckmann a fumé quand il disait avoir fini plein de fois le jeu et pleuré à chaque fois, car perso je n'ai ressentis absolument aucun attachement à l'histoire et aux nouveaux perso et j'ai trouvé certaines scènes tellement clichées que ça me faisait lever les yeux aux ciels

    J'ai peur du futur d'Uncharted quand je vois ce qu'est devenu cette licence, le studio qui a crée ce jeu semble être totalement différent et à l'opposée du Naughty Dog qui a fait les jeux avec lesquels j'ai grandis qui ont marqués mon adolescence et dont je me souviendrais toute ma vie    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While Druckman sits in his office that was built by The Last of Us, what he needs to realise is that the real creative force behind that game was Bruce Straley. Bruce is missing from part II and you can tell.

    The thing that is really making me butt hurt about the whole thing is the lies Naughty Dog and Druckman have told, in order to sell the game. Doing a model swap with characters to add Joel into the game even well after he's no longer in the game. Druckman even said in an interview that Ellie was DEFINITELY the only playable character.

    Which leads me to Abby, why? is my first question. What was the point of having to control her for over half the game. For myself and probably 90% of the fans out there, the last of us is Joel and Ellie. It never needed a sequel but if it was getting one it better be about those two is what everyone has said. I forced myself to play through the Abby bits as quick as I could, no collectibles, no upgrades to weapons or stats nothing as I wanted to get back to Ellie.
    The game has been touted as being about the circle of violence and revenge and how its bad. But Abby gets everything she wants in the game while Ellie......

    You know what I just can't do it anymore, if your looking to buy this game and you love the first one, please for the love of god, pretend this doesn't exist and theres only one game, go play the last of us remastered then imagine a sequel in your mind, it will be better than this tripe.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I cannot believe ND went this way, I'm sure many other reviews that given insight into why this game is bad, so I'll sum it up with a few points:

    •Joel dies in the most stupidest way, and is portrayed as a dumbass, same with Tommy.

    •The game forces you to play as an unlikable character that you will NOT want to play as, that killed Joel all because of "being woke".

    •The rest of the time where you're not playing as the BS character, and you play as Ellie, it's either in flashbacks or a BS storyline that turns out to be totally pointless.

    •The old characters either end up dying, injured or alive but stupid AF, same with all the new characters, it's like ND grabbed people that really didn't want to act there part.

    •The ending is **** Ellie goes on a killing rampage where she murders hundreds of people for revenge, only to get to the person responsible for all her pain, what does she do? Let's her go. The whole entire plotline (or lack thereof) revolves around revenge, yet she doesn't get revenge.... huh?

    All in all the only thing I can give them credit for is animations, sound track and visuals.

    The gameplay is the same, and the story is a massive crap on what was a 7 year period to wait for what should've been a perfect game.    … Expand

    I want to point my middle finger deeply to ND, for delivering a game which destroyed one of the most loved and shared stories of the entire gaming industry.

    Whenever I thought about Last of Us, what came to my mind was a beautiful delivered story about a man and a girl, who let me be part of their amazing story.

    Ellie made Joel find a reason to love his life again, he found a reason to be alive, to live and find love .
    This is what part 1 delivered.
    What did part 2 deliver?

    Revenge, lots of revenge, and in the end they throw it away and tell you it's a part of "growing". That revenge brings nothing.

    One guy tries to kill an innocent girl, he decides about life and death, and then another guy decides about this guys life and death. After that the daughters from both of them do the same again but in the end they decide to let it go, because they won't get their fathers back. And that route took us 35 hours of redundant fights against zombies, wolfs and scars, over and over.

    Gameplay 10/10
    Graphic 10/10

    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.
