    Hey, you! If you're homophobic person , sexist, abuser so go out! This game is an incredible. The second part even better than the first, for instance, there's more than 30+ hours of gameplay, that's spectacular, really impressive! What the hell do you want??? BACK OFF IF YOU'RE NOT ENOUGH SMART TO SEE THAT THE LAST OF US 2 - SPLENDID!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was waiting for this game for 7 years??!! Graphics are good, but gameplay and story are too bad. Gameplay hasn`t changed from the first game. Did they expect us to play the same gameplay for 25 hours? it gets really boring. The story is terrible. the first 8 hours was interesting, but after that i just wanted it to finish soon. The story doesnt make sense at all. She went all this way to just let her go? WHAT?? it is a SHAME, cuz the first game is the masterpiece which everyone loves. Expand

    This is the reason why your political views are hated by others. You ruin what people already love, instead of creating a new stuff, because you know they will fail.

    Not worth the money or time terrible story telling with mediocre gameplay that really doesn't offer anymore than the first one, relys on shock factor and kills the most beloved character in the game at the start to build up another boring hollow character. Save ur money it is as bad as we say

    Disgusting. ND has lied and manipulated their fans with their marketing strategy, leading us to believe that Joel would play an important role in the game, by showing multiple game footage in the trailer that is actually not in the game.

    This is the most disgraceful thing I've ever seen by a gaming company. ND should be ashamed of themselves and should be sued for that false
    Disgusting. ND has lied and manipulated their fans with their marketing strategy, leading us to believe that Joel would play an important role in the game, by showing multiple game footage in the trailer that is actually not in the game.

    This is the most disgraceful thing I've ever seen by a gaming company. ND should be ashamed of themselves and should be sued for that false advertisement. This is the main reason why I give it this score, I was manipulated by being told by the developers that this game would be something that it is not. Here is the complete list of reasons why I gave it a score of 0:

    -> The game not being what ND marketed it as
    -> The story seems like a rushed out draft at best, not even making sense on some occasion
    -> There are many plot holes in the story
    -> Turning the characters we've become attached to in TLOU 1 into idiots
    -> The explicit intimate scenes (I don't want to watch sex while playing games, this was absolutely unnecessary)
    -> Unnecessary d r u g s use scenes
    -> The important amount of unnecessary swearing between Dina and Ellie (which takes Ellie's innocence away and make her lot less likable)
    -> The intense kissing scenes between Ellie and Dina (A game is not the place for that. And I would make the same argument if it was a man and a woman kissing, I just don't want to see that kind of stuff when I'm playing a game)
    -> The SJW Agenda

    I was so hyped for this game. For 7 years now I've been dreaming about the day this game would come out, I was so hyped and excited for it. ND and Neil Druckman have crushed this hype, and it seem to have been their objective all along, making us hate this game, hate this franchise and hate this company. Well done.

    ND missed a great opportunity of making a masterpiece. Instead, they completely ruined this franchise.

    Oh My God, despite of all the leaks I ignored. The game really disappointed me. I just finished it minutes ago.

    Good things: 0) Joel's character is continued perfectly although his role is small but atleast they didn't ruin his personality. 1)Dialogue writing is one of the best I have ever seen in gaming.(voiceover is also fantastic) 2) Graphics and visuals are stunning and best of this

    2) Graphics and visuals are stunning and best of this generation. 3) Game's mechenics are unique and felt completely fresh


    Bad things:
    The game is very streched out. The story is hilarious, non-logical and non-realistic. Characters are well developed at the beginning and well destroyed at the end . There decisions don't match their development. And also that hilarious sex scene. Abby is infact very confusing character. Owen is the most poorly written character in the gaming history. After you play ellie once. Abby's campaign feel completely streched and boring. Even if you ignore story. The game still sucks and fells repetitive(like a deja-vu) and boring.
    Don't buy it.

    Absolutely TERRIBLE Story. The game is NAUSEATINGLY Bad. You as the Player are literally Held down and Beaten/Tortured, and you get NOTHING in the way of Revenge. they Raked the first games name over the coals for THIS!? If i could meet the "Director" of this game in Person id do to him what "Abby" did to Joel. If Ghost of Tsushima isn't FANTASTIC, the PS4 (And 5) are in deep trouble.

    The story is just gore and porn, forced brutality that does not lead to anywhere. If you loved original TLOU for its story, characters, and emotionalism you should not play this game.

I think the people negatively reviewing the game because of Joel’s death aren’t ready to have the conversation that it was ALWAYS going to happen. And that it makes sense that it happened. Admittedly, it was a little rushed but he died saving someone. He died after being a hero yet again and I think that’s beautiful. Similarly, if you’re negatively reviewing because of Ellie and Dina’s relationship you need to sort yourself out. Expand

    The characters from the last game are unrecognizable. The new characters are not likable on any level. That on itself could be excused if the plot was worthwile which it unfortunately is not. It's like the #1 priority was to write something unexpected. I am dismayed that this was made by the same studio that made TloU1 and the Uncharted series. 3 points for the graphics and servicable gameplay.

    I liked the halfopen world too.
    To those who are saying to the creators to get out the politics of TLOU, I want to say you only allow politics when you don't feel attacked or when the protagonist is a woman that you can consume with fanservice, like Tifa in FFVII.
    Ellie was seen kissing her best friend. It was the way the creators said she was a lesbian. If you can vote without hate, the better
    Other games, like fallout arr about politics, always ending with a clash of powers between differents factions. But you don't feel digusted because of that. Try the game and look at it. With other eyes. Woman are no products of fan service, for god's sale she's a grown wlman in the apocalypse world, you can't expect Ellie with make up and extra big boobs. You won't regret looking at it without homophobia and without misogyny

And for the love of god this has to be the biggest slap in your face of an ending. What was the point of the redemption arc if she just let's her live.

Now on this one, technically speaking, this game looks awesome, but TLOS was never about the graphic details and was always about the story. I understand that ND tried to portrait the neverending cycle of violence when someone pushes that violence on others (Joel and Ellie on many NPCs on the first game). But you (ND) have to understand that it was inevitable that I, as a gamer created bonds with these characters. You simply cannot get to kill Joel on TLOU2 with all that gore and get away with that. Also, it was totally unnecessary the push of a social agenda thru all of this. I'm deeply disappointed. Expand

    Great game, but there isn't anything new... everything already seen. The only good thing is the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I felt gross after playing this. I felt like i read someones private journal with their Last of Us fan-fiction. The Last of Us Part 2 is committed to misery above all else and even then seems to struggle to do that well. What I mean when I say that is that all attempts to create empathy with the new cast fall short because they consistently act boneheadedly and cruelly. And so in the chase of subverting expectations there is deliberate torture of preexisting characters from The Last of Us Part 1 that I cared about *because of the writing from Last of Us 1* and not from the writing of its sequel.

    The clashing tones and actions were overwhelming to me to the point that, at the end, I genuinely felt as though the story were somewhat schizophrenic. Characters kill hundreds in the pursuit of revenge and then are stopped at the apex by a 2-second flashback that serves only to prod the player with a hamfisted "but isn't killing bad?" jab to the side.

    They lowballed it with the themes and went overtly edgy and miserable in tone. Where TLOU1 had a small moment of sunlight and petting a giraffe before the suffocating darkness of the final sections, TLOU2 would instead kill the giraffe and maim its children before zooming in the camera and flashing "Isn't animal abuse awful?" in size-80 impact font. The Last of Us 2 thinks itself so much more poignant and hard-hitting than it actually is and in taking itself so hyper-seriously sets itself up to be a punchline when the weak writing rears its ugly head.

    The gameplay is ok. Kudos to the animation team and my deepest condolences because I can't imagine they made it through this game without heavy losses. The movement and combat animations look great, but at its core the gameplay of TLOU2 isn't quite iterative enough of the firsts to wow me. With a 7 year gap between releases I expected TLOU2 to play less like its predecessor from 2013.

    It's ok for a game to make you feel bad. I just wish the story actually worked for it. There are too many character concessions that set up unbelievable situations in which to torture and kill the characters you like. Had every character acted as carelessly as they do in TLOU2 then the first would have ended during the intro.

    The final shot of this game comes as close to outright saying "they truly are the last of us" as you could possibly write without having a character say it in dialogue. In the end I just feel silly for having been excited for it in the first place.

    Graphics are awsome
    Music is great
    Gameplay is like uncharted 4
    The story is good ,not what I expected but it is not something that I hate or dislike I can live with it, they made the story close to real life and what would happen in a real world and it will give you the feel of sadness and hate both wich is opposite of the first game,in general it is a very good game.

    Beautiful game, even more beautiful visuals. Incredible, the best thing about the game no doubt. The gameplay is more of the same but a little improved. I like the new touches in combat, not so easy to dodge like in every other game, better use of bottles and the blade etc.
    As far as the story goes Ellie takes over after Joel as the main character and it's a pretty bold move because 90% of

    As far as the story goes Ellie takes over after Joel as the main character and it's a pretty bold move because 90% of men playing this game are not gonna like it specially when she is a lesbian too. Not the strong male protecting the poor woman but a strong woman protecting herself and just having a girlfriend. Lots of men mad about this for sure. Bold move, I think it works. Apart from that it's a solid game and if you liked the first game you are gonna love this one if you're not a sexist, homophobic bigot. Good job naughty dog, as always

Надеюсь Сони потеряет баблишка и Дрюкман присоединится к двум дебилам из Игры престолов.Дрюкман, если ты плюнешь в фанатов - они утрутся, если фанаты плюнут в тебя - ты утонешь.

    The fact that they could do my boy Joel like that already makes like a 4/10, and combine that with the horrible story and characters to get a nice 0/10

    This game is incredible. The game is challenging and so we'll written and acted. I appreciate the more realistic portraits of these characters and I hope future games follow suit.

    The plot of the game is terrible and totally unacceptable. A mandatory ending that doesn't give the player a choice. fuk

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The overall quality of the graphics, animations and etc is very well done, unfortunately the game suffers because of the terrible writing. Making Ellie kill hundreds of soldiers just to find and kill Abby but in the end she doesn't even kill her because revenge is bad? After killing hundreds of soldiers she suddenly has a change of heart in the midst of drowning Abby. Another thing that I hate is the fact that Joel's death is disrespectful to his character, in part 1 he was careful and typically doesn't trust strangers. The reason the first game was REALLY good story wise is because of the Joel-Ellie dynamic, this game just throws away the relationship that they have built up, it is most prominent on that scene where Ellie gets mad at Joel for defending her. The writer tried his best to force Abby down our throats, but fails to do so. One more thing I find annoying is Lev, he/she just feels forgettable and annoying. Expand

    I'm indeed gonna return the game, get my money back and buy some games that are worth my time!
    This game is so disrespectful towards it's original characters, the characters that people got to absolutely love in the first game! Naugthy Dog literally took a huge dump on them and pissed on them afterwards in order to place a **** awful new character in the spotlight instead!

    Ok. This game is a mix of unnecessary things.If on the one hand this game innovates in graphics and gameplay on the other the story is one of the worst in the last years.

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
