    This game throws its original ideals out the window. It's almost like the writing team either stopped caring all together or someone else jammed a narrative down their throats.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite all the discussion about the politicization of games and the insertion or not of identity bias in the plot. The truth is that killing a character in an inversely stupid way, and putting the player in the place of a villain to face another beloved character is simply absurd when it comes to storytelling. In an effort to "innovate" and make a storyline that "invites the player to reflect", all the writers do is a teenage story that completely destroys the best of the title.… Expand

    This game has a terrible plot. The game makes the player completely indifferent to the characters. There is no single reason to care about the characters at all. It's a totally uninteresting revenge story.

    The game has good graphics and music, but the story, the most important thing is pure cringe. I mean, it's just pure political correctness to win some SJW points.

    The Last of Us was built on a strong story, very well told, with a sensational script, which made a deep connection between the player and the characters. At The Last of Us 2 there is simply no logic in the events, it seems that there is no script, and they simply ended the narrative to defend a political / social agenda. As a fan it hurts me to say that, but they ended up with The Last of Us.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us was always Joel and Ellie. You could take any two characters and throw them in that world, but that is not the last of us. The last of us was an emotionally intricate and complex story of heartbreak, love, courage, anger, happiness and more revolving around two people. It was a story where the writing and directing was so incredible that it caused the majority of us to connect to and to care for a set of video game characters like never before. We were on that journey with them the entire time, feeling the love, the anger, the heartbreak, the joy that they felt. It connected to me personally like no other video game ever has and still remains, for me, the greatest story in a video game ever....which is why the Last of Us Part 2 is such a disappointment to me. From a purely gaming perspective, this game is fantastic. The graphics are incredible, the game-play is brilliant, the animations are almost flawless. However, even all of these brilliant things about the last of us part 2 cant help me look past how poor and misguided the story is. I didn't play last of us 2 for the graphics. Sure they do help, but, and I'm sure many would agree, I was so hyped for, and played it for the story. I couldn't wait to jump back in after all these years, and after the first hour I was already worrying about where the game was heading. I don't agree with it, but I don't mind them wanting to kill off Joel. However, it was cheap. Instantly then and there in that mansion, the whole premise of the last of us died. An entire game without the relationship between Joel and Ellie which is even worse considering how it was advertised to us as if Joel was gonna be in the game for at least longer than the opening. But I accepted it and continued on under the assumption we were off to get revenge for how they brutally tortured and killed Joel, and in front of Ellie no less. However, half way through the game, when you've gone through the process of taking out the majority of the gang bar Abby, it is mind boggling to me how we are forced to play as her. This woman who brutally murdered Joel and then shot and killed Jesse, whose death was also cheap, right in front of us too. We are now forced to play through her childhood and then play with her and her gang who killed Joel through all 3 days in Seattle and I just couldn't be bothered at this stage. I don't care about Abby. I don't care about her life. I don't care that Joel killed her father. You had this person murder one of the most beloved characters in video game history, 1/2 of the last of us, and then we are forced to play as her, while the writing forces us to try to empathize or connect to this character in some way which is impossible because of what she did. It only gets worse then as, after playing Abby's never ending half of the game, you are forced to fight Ellie while playing as Abby. Then when you think its all over, it reels you back in as Ellie decides she cant let it go and heads to California to find her. Then once you do, after she brutally killed our favorite dad Joel, and after she murdered Jesse, and after she bites 2 of your fingers off, you let her go instead of killing her rendering the whole plot of this game, which was effectively justice for Joel, pointless. This whole story is ridiculous and completely misses the point of why so many of us fell in love with the first last of us, not to mention how inconsistent it is regarding how returning characters think and act based on the first game. The second half of the game in particular baffles me. Playing as Abby just bored and annoyed me as I couldn't care less about her and in no way was I ever going to connect to this random character I was forced to play as who was thrown in to this game to kill Joel. This game just felt like a massive middle finger to fans of the original game. Roughly 20 hours it took me to complete my playthrough and I stopped caring about the game as soon as it hit Abby's part. It is massively upsetting that I waited so many years for a sequel and this tone deaf monstrosity of a story is the best they could come up with. They took everything that made us love the last of us out, and, while I enjoyed playing as Ellie once again for her part of the game, I refuse to accept this as a sequel to the Last of Us. If this was the garbage that Neil Druckmann and his team were going to provide us after 7 years of waiting, I would've preferred if they had not bothered with a sequel and just left us with the masterpiece that was The Last of Us. I think a lot of people who liked the game and are claiming people are just 'review bombing' it for the sake of it and 'love complaining' are missing the point completely. If you take this game as a completely separate standalone with nothing to do with the last of us then yeah, it's a great game. But this was supposed to be a sequel to the Last of Us, the continuation of Joel and Ellie's story but that's not what we got. They failed to deliver.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was the most awful game I have ever played, and that is saying something. Neil C uckmann absolutely ruined the game that was hailed as one of the greatest masterpieces of all time. The entirety of the first game made you fall in love with the parental relationship between Joel and Ellie and this game destroys that within the first two hours. For what? The devs say its to make a statement on the theme of revenge, but I say you shouldn't do that at the cost of one of the best relationships portrayed in video gaming. Absolutely pathetic. Not to mention C uckmann's self inserts himself into the game not once... not twice... but THREE times during the game. The ego on this guy is showcased in how he commented on the game saying "some of the fans of the original aren't going to like the game." Then just make a new f ucking game! Don't ruin the game because you want to make some political statement and generate pointless shock value. I pity those who had to work on the game, knowing it was going to be such a terrible excuse for a sequel. Thank God for the whistleblower that saved so many people from buying the game. And for those that don't know, not only will you have to play as Abby for 10 HOURS, but you are forced to spare her in the end. You can't even make the game good no matter how hard you try. Don't bother with it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you asked me to rate this game in the middle of the story, I would have told you it was a masterpiece. Sure there were parts of the story that I didn’t expect (Joel dying) and things I didn’t like, such as the path the writers had taken Ellie’s character; but the story had evolved from the original game and not simply provided more of the same, which I see as critical for successful sequels.

    The character of Abby provides a light into the different perspectives of the characters in the story (no one is the villain of their own story). Half way through the game I had flipped to team Abby, despite the connection between Joel and Ellie in the original game, I no longer cared as Ellie was no longer the sweet and curious girl she once was and I felt Abby was justified due to the pain she felt from the murder of her father. Ellie on the other hand was now mean, selfish and unworthy of the caring I and many others once had for her character.

    The ending set in Santa Barbara didn’t even appear to identify as being the same game as the one set in Seattle and didn’t add anything to the game. A grand ending in Seattle would have been a much more rewarding ending. In reality, By the end, I am not on anyone’s side; I am no longer team Ellie or team Abby, I now hate these characters and no longer feel that there is a glimmer of hope in the TLOU world. I now truly feel the despair and hate that envelops this post-apocalyptic world. I think that naughty dog set out to leave the player with a feeling of hate at the end, so well done to them for ruining what was once a story of love.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first last of us is my all time favourite game out of any video game, the characters in it, such as Joel and Ellie, they grew on me and seeing their relationship evolve to that of a father and daughter, I loved it, and it felt so natural. Then I saw the part 2 leaks and yeah like most people I wasnt happy, but i decided to go in with an open mind thinking maybe it will play out well. I was wrong. I definitely enjoyed the first couple of hours, getting to know some of the new characters as well as how Ellie has developed throughout the years, but then after only the first couple of hours out of a 30 hour or so game, they killed off Joel. This made me mad, not that Joel died, yes I was sad about that but about how quickly he died in the game, to me it felt rushed and killing off people's favourite character in only that short amount of time, which I was also mad about the fact that Joel just trusted the people in the resort so quickly, what happened to the Joel who was always on guard and didn't trust anyone?? Anyways that happened but I decided to stick through it and play on, because i did want to get revenge for Joel as Ellie. I loved playing as Ellie in the first part of the game, i had no problems with that, but then we get to the second part. Abby. Also known as Joels killer. I want to know what the hell was going through the writers heads when they decided we would want to play as our favourite characters murderer? But anyways I played as her, killed her a few times just to get my own revenge, and then we get to the Ellie part again. Now this was the part that just completely ruined the game for me, I stuck through it thinking with some hope it would get better, but nope. Ellie now has a family with Dina and JJ after getting beaten up by Abby and she decides to drop it all to go after Abby again, this didn't bother me, I was actually rooting for Ellie to go after her but then we do. And when Ellie was on the brink of getting her revenge she lets her go... This had me nearly throw my controller at the screen, i was fuming. The first part of the game was Ellie going and killing people that was in the same room as her when Joel died and finding out where Abby was, she even killed a pregnant lady, so for her to let her go at the last minute didn't make any sense. She left her family, she's killed a lot of people just to get to this one person, her friend has also died because of this person and she lets her go? It just didn't add up and if the writers were trying to send a message out they failed. They actually want firing. To me the game was trying to force upon political agendas, trying to get us to care about characters i would rather violently torture and it was just a big mess. Honestly it ruined me, the only joy I got out of playing this game was the actual gameplay, the graphics and the flashbacks of Joel and Ellie. Afterall that was the reason I wanted to play the game, to see there relationship as Father and daughter and get the old banter the two had from the first game, I hardly got any of that. Instead I was forced to play as a character i seriously wanted to kill and that I could care less about and I was forced to sit through a **** story. If anyone has gotten to the end of this long rant then i highly recommend not wasting your money on this game. After 7 years, they give us that, i think we deserve an apology as well as a rewrite of the story.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first game was and still is a masterpiece. This second one, is GARBAGE. I was ok with the idea of Joel dying in this game and let Ellie be the protagonist. But, the way they did it, made me nauseous. First, killing in the most disgraceful way the most beloved character of the series and then forcing you to play as his murderer? It's INSANE.
    If they wanted to get rid of Joel, they should at least show us some more of Abby, create some love for the character, make us simpathize with her cause and then get to this point in the story. There is nothing wrong in changing main characters. Take for example The Walking Dead Season 1. The death of Lee was shocking, but was a honorable death. A remarkable moment in the series just to pass the torch on to Clementine to make her own adventure.
    Not only that, but they gave us the most horrible and disgusting sex scene I've ever seen in a video game or any other media. I had to turn my face away from the screen thinking the foul smell in that room. Anime boobs = CENSORED; Abby an Owen f***ing like two dudes in a prison cell = MASTERPIECE; WTF!
    But they saved the best for last. When you finally thinks that the gameplay is going to be worth playing by killing Abby and get the so renowed "revenge", Ellie spares Abby. Not even a choice was given: to kill or not to kill Abby. Ellie ends with her "dad" dead, her friends dead, her girlfriend gone with their baby and two less fingers. And Abby? Abby is fine and dandy leaving with her friend into a new adventure where she can destroy more lives as she did with the characters of this franchise and its fans.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I must preface this by saying that I'm a member of the LGBT community. Nothing I say against the game is me being "anti SJW, trans-phobic or not woke enough" like the reactions I'm seeing.
    I'm not a paid shill in the gaming industry. I can be completely honest in my review and not be afraid of losing ad revenue or no longer getting free stuff from any gaming enterprise.

    The graphics on the game are great. Your PS4 sounds like a jet engine trying to take off when you run the game. The sound quality and music are both fine. The fight mechanics are a bit of an improvement. But you know what can instantly make or break a game? The story and character development.

    This Review Contains Spoilers: The Glaring Plot Holes
    Joel and Tommy completely break character and do something stupid and get themselves killed.
    Abby pays back Joel and the crew saving her life by killing him in a brutal and sadistic way. None of this makes sense. You want Joel to momentarily act stupid? Have Abby save his life instead of vice versa and have Joel put his guard down. Abby shows her stupidity by letting the person that will try to exact revenge on her watch Joel get bludgeoned to death while enjoying sadistic pleasure in doing so.

    We have no character development of Abby before this ridiculousness so how can you empathize with her? How about building up her character first, then when she's finally rescued by Joel she has some sort of conflicted thoughts about exacting revenge? He murdered her father but saves her life. Instead of her brutally murdering Joel, have Joel's life be in danger mid game and see if Abby would save him or let him die. Please realize I'm not upset at Joel's death at all, but they did him dirty on this one.

    And what does the person who has killed dozens of enemies and watched essentially their father figure get brutally murdered do at the end of their quest for revenge? After having a several minute brutal fight that drags on in the end? Pull the "if I kill them I"m just as bad as them" card.

    To be inclusive, you need to Normalize people. You don't shove LGBT plot points down our throats from the jump. It's pandering to us in the LGBT community and it's manipulative to those who hate the LGBT community. It's polarizing for profit. Drum up those positive or angry clicks. Those yelling "you only hate the game because lesbians" need only to look at the user score for the original Last of Us game. Yes, there was lesbianism in that game too.

    This sequel was not needed. It's a heartless, thoughtless cash grab. The writing is contrived and forced. This game was like a pizza cutter: all edge and no point. Don't ever trust "reviewers" that got an early copy of a game.

    Most sequels to classics are love letters to fans because the artists want to reciprocate our love and appreciation for them. RDR2, God of War, etc. these games are love letters to their fan bases, they have so much fan service. This game is not that. The artist responsible for this game made a game for himself and you as a fan can take it or leave it. Very sad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me start up by saying the good only good thing that this game has to offer the graphics are good and the fact that we actually got a sequel but that is just about it.

    Now lets get down to the bad things of this game
    First of all the story I disliked the story and how it was told to the point that I couldn't bare to dive in to this game any longer we start out good so far at the beginning but believe me when I say to you this :
    IT GETS WORSE. Of course Ellie is back and she´s got a more important role in this game.

    Spoilers Ahead:

    Joel in the other hand doesn't he didn't even lasted 5 hours in the game he was killed in what can be described as the most disrespectful death in gaming history okay we all know that Joel was a cautious character and that he never took any risks so in an attempt to advance the story faster they had Joel reveal his name to a bunch of strangers which it in itself was not the smartest idea since after the events of the previous game he should 've already know that people would be after him and what hurts this more is that the character that kills him has been saved already many times by Joel and for her to kill him off with no thought what so ever of all those time that he saved her she just kills him in cold blood and after his death at the hands this other character I was forced to play as Ellie for a great part of the game which in of itself isn´t the problem my main problem is that we actually have to play as the person that killed Joel and the game tries so hard to make us sympathise with this character but fails in so many levels in the end playing as this character only made me want to kill this character even more because of the terrible writing. Through mid point of the game I just kept playing it with hope that things will get better since this new character killed Joel this game was built with the foundation that it is a revenge story which will inevitably lead to a final fight with Ellie vs this new character.

    Major Spoilers and the ending:

    In the very end I got to fight this new characters as Ellie and the pay off just wasn't good I really wanted the story to end good but it didn't since Ellie in the very end let this character go and after every single thing that I done to get to this point it was almost as if this game was for nothing since every single thing that I needed to do to get to this point didn't pay off. As we also played as this new character we also saw how she lived and what was she doing and while Ellie isn´t a saint in this game either she at least showed some humanity as she killed the person around her to get to the ending, as for the other character I never got to see a human part of her it was almost as if she enjoys killing others. Another thing that I would like to discuss is that there is a scene in this game where this new character actually has coitus with another character which I don´t know if this was intended to be art or a certain scene that even in the darkest times there is hope but honestly I found it gross and unnecessary I really don´t know what the creator was thinking but we still got this scene in the game. Probably the parts that I enjoyed most of the game were the flashbacks that Ellie had with Joel those were the only parts of the game I truly enjoyed.

    Well long story short the game in terms of graphics is good but all the other things that compose a game it´s a major let down.

    For all of you die hard fans of TLOU I have 3 words for you: "SAVE YOUR MONEY" but anyway this is just my opinion the level of disappointment that this game reaches is unmeasurable and all the decisions that were taken in this game are laughable and finally the ending and the way that Joel died those two scenes in my opinion where the scene that completely butchered the game itself and all chances of a potential sequel.    … Expand
