    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A total disaster in storytelling, the last of us 2 throws everything you love about the original out the window for a nonsensical story filled with uninteresting characters, betrayal of already established characters, and terrible pacing. You play half the game as A new character that is unlikable and irredeemable due to her actions in the beginning of the story. I am a huge fan of the first game and this couldn’t have turned out worse than it did. Maybe if you didn’t play the first one you can find an ok story here, but if you have invested anything into the first games characters you will hate this game. I played through until the end but it never gets better it only gets worse.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is very linnear, and tries to replace good story telling with shock value by killing the main character off after a series of uncharacteristic choices. Further, it continues to punish the remaining main character, and forces you to play as the character who caused all of the previous mentioned bad events. The ending is unsatisfying, and the antagonist gets to get away with it all without having earned any of it. This game exists just to spit on the grave of the previous as a "screw you" to the original writer. One of the main writers stand-ins in the game even spits on Joel's corpse. Go figure. Do not pick this up, the only way to stop this blatant insult to the gaming community is to stop supporting train wrecks suck as this. Not to mention the paid reviews continue to make games journalism a joke. Even now, as ik trying to get this review uploaded, they keep taking down negative reviews, and mine keeps taking a very long time to upload. I wasn't originally going to put this part, but it's been well over 10 minutes of just waiting for it to post.… Expand

    You know I decided to give it a chance and the gut punch early on in the game (you know what I'm referencing, I'd rather not spoil anything for those who haven't played) really had me sobbing and for a second I'm like okay, maybe I doubted how they could pull this off, this is naughty dog, my fav studio, with my fav games and my fav director and my fav characters etc. but man oh man doesYou know I decided to give it a chance and the gut punch early on in the game (you know what I'm referencing, I'd rather not spoil anything for those who haven't played) really had me sobbing and for a second I'm like okay, maybe I doubted how they could pull this off, this is naughty dog, my fav studio, with my fav games and my fav director and my fav characters etc. but man oh man does the air get sucked out of you with that horrible ending. The first game was truly the best gaming experience I had, the beginning of this game with that 'scene' had me moved like nothing ever before but it turns out it was done for shock value and their goal to empathize with the other character completely failed. What was the point of this I ask? Was the point for us to empathize with the other character because that clearly failed. Was the point for us to hate her? Well you clearly succeeded but I highly doubt that was the goal. Is it about love and forgiveness and losing everything you have? How does that work out when you brutalize your two main characters with no closure? Leave your audience feeling empty and devastated. If you play this game the last 'boss' fight had me punching square well into cutscene due to how much I despised the other character and not realizing that a cutscene was playing out and I had no control anymore. What is the point in us writing all of this if it's falling on deaf ears. Is Neil really this tone deaf? Maybe we should learn to unlove things that change in our life before they change us. Maybe we should learn to let go as Ellie had to learn to let go, maybe what we hold so dearly to us can ultimately ruin us and maybe just maybe that's the message they're going for? No it's not, they want us to learn to forgive but the path of destruction on your way to said forgiveness devalues that, not to mention it is not possible to forgive a character that you are forced to play with and beat down both of your favorite characters with. This truly was the last of us...fans leaving Naughty Dog. I guess the dreamers of the day are dangerous men after all Mr. Druckkman… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a slap in the face to everyone that loved the first game. Do not buy this and save your money. The truth and context of this game is much worse than the leaks. Before I get into one of the worst stories ever. The gameplay is very average in today's modern gaming generation. There are minor improvements from the first game and enemy AI is dumb as ever. There are more cut scenes and walking than actual gameplay. SPOILER ALERT..... they destroyed all of your favorite characters. They dumb down Joel's character on purpose to make him weak and stupid. In the first game he was very smart and had a ton of experience. He didn't even trust a guy that was sick on the road. He chose to run him over. Later we find out that stranger on the road was not sick and it was all a set up. They do everything to make you dislike Joel and continue to spit on him. They have a trans female/male shoot him in the leg and torture him with a golf club right in the first 2 hours of the game. They spit on him literally. They made Ellie unlikable and a selfish human being. She kills everyone and continued to blame Joel for saving her life. She cared so much in saving humanity because she has the immunity but instead she became a lesbian and chose not to reproduce. Let that sink in. She even let's Abby the one that tortured and murdered Joel in front of her get away with it. Abby also bit off two of Ellie's fingers. Her letting Abby go is basically saying Joel deserved dying. A loveable character who is the main character of the game. There was no justice for Joel. This game robbed everything from you just for shock value. The current narrative of destroying the male character to make the female character rise is very weak story telling. It is disrespectful to both genders. Females even hate it. Worst of all the pacing of the story is horrible. You literally play as Abby the character we hate for half the game. They tried so hard to make us like her but none of it worked. This game is a waste of time and money and should have never been created as a sequel. The critics are liars and they don't care about what the fans want. They only care about their political narrative and force you to like something that you will never accept. Then they insult you by calling you names because you don't like the product they are praising. They are the worst kind of human being. Trust the gamers that actually love playing the kind of video games you like. Those are the ones who you should listen to. Vote with your wallet and avoid this dumpster fire. Why care for a game created by a studio that is run by Neil Druckmann who is a male feminist and does not care about the fans and the people he works with. That's why 75 percent of Naughty dog left the company due to how he treated them. This game is created by people that don't care about you and backed by people that hate you. The game wasn't made for the fans and gamers. Vote with your wallets and avoid this at all cost. Especially how they are trying to trick everyone with false advertisement into buying this. Look it up on YouTube. Don't trust the shill media. Watch the negative videos about this game and you will see the truth. Long live Joel and RIP to The Last of Us franchise.… Expand

Funny how this political correctness history has a couple of years of lifespan and after a couple more democracy will change how we are supposed to feel and game will be autdated with its narrative boohoo, TLOU One however doesn't have this problem, because it contains "normality"!!!, an everlasting American country story that feels real because its legitimate. And the iconic guitar music fits it so perfectly.

    Things that are jacked up:
    - caricature of a character that Abby is
    - abbys forced indoctrination gameplay (speedruning it, regretting it, absolute no care). [why not make it into an extra story or dlc?] - abbys story characters feel like cutouts from 13reasonswhy teenage tv show or some **** like that. Owen, Mel? soulless people with stupid problems. Most interesting part is Levs shaved head lore. - when story needs it, characters we care about get disarmed, jumped and injured in the stupidest ways ever. - Ellie and Joel lost their balls somewhere

    Pros:
    - graphics, sigh
    - Ellie gameplay - great prone, craft mechanics, skirmishes feel great and unpredictable. But does pros really matter anymore? no. TLOUPart2 was supposed to be another masterpiece of a decade 10/10.
    Even without Abbys part it would be just OK 8/10.
    I give it a rating 3/10. But voting 0/10 to conquer the leftist meta agenda :)

This game is an absolute failure I was really hoping for it to be more about the struggles Joel and Ellie would go through especially with Ellie learning the truth about what Joel did but no instead the game is supposed to be about a whole different characters vengeance upon one of the most beloved characters of all time just what a waste… Expand

    I love tlou,I hate this sequel.
    The editor copied the plot from the bad TV series, and then you feel the pain through the game, a medium that is so sensory and exciting.
    Tlou's screenwriters are suffering from self-righteous art disease.

    Utter crap. Ruins the original. The story is depressing and seemingly written by a 13 y/o. The death of Joel and Abby’s sex scene are grotesque and unconscionable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Many reviews suggest that The Last of Us Part II (LOUP2) forgets the relationship between Joel and Ellie and goes on a tangent in an attempt to be "artsy" or "deep". What people do not seem to realize is that even Part I had an overarching theme of morals and philosophy - through Joel and Ellie’s relationship, our two beloved characters. LOUP2 expanded upon this theme, with the addition of the ‘cycle of violence’, through the introduction of more characters. This, in some instances, did depict Joel, Ellie, and Tommy as antagonistic. With that said, I thought this was brilliantly portrayed by showing the same three days in Seattle from Abby and Ellie's perspective. When I see and hear people saying that it was "unbearable" to play as Abby, not only is it absurd but also thoughtless. Joel had killed a lot of people in the first game, and it would be foolish to assume that there weren’t going to be any repercussions of these actions. His role as the protagonist doesn’t, in any way, justify his wrongdoings.

    Abby's story has been incredibly crafted. All of the WLF soldiers that went to Jackson City wanted revenge, but no one, including Abby, was expecting such brutality and aggression from herself. These actions of fury, however, were completely justified. The anger and rage that built up in Abby for 4 years, was released over those few minutes with the golf club and a cornered Joel. I was especially allured to one of Abby’s dreams in which she sees Yara and Lev, two kids who saved her life, hanging in Saint Mary’s hospital. The dream makes her feel uneasy and as though something was amiss, particularly in regards to Joel's death. So when she wakes up, she goes out of her way to help Yara and Lev in an attempt to balance her past damages.

    The battle between the Seraphites and WLF continued the theme of the ‘cycle of violence’. I was especially enamoured by the player encountering collectible letters of several victims from the Seraphites and the WLF. We see the stories of people from both the WLF and Seraphites who are trying to protect their families and/or bring back food. However, they fall prey to the ‘cycle of violence’. We, as the player, sympathize with both sides of the war, making us question, “what is it all for?”. As Abby interacts with the two Seraphites Lev and Yara she comes to the same realization. That is why when she gets the opportunity, although filled with rage and ferocity, she rethinks her decision of killing Ellie concluding that no one would benefit.

    A common complaint people seem to have is that Ellie should have killed Abby, which would have been a superficial ending to this game. Ellie has already, in an act of vengeance, killed a pregnant Mel and is left feeling traumatized by this event. Nonetheless, there would have been zero progression for Ellie's character if she had killed Abby. Furthermore, in the final moments when Ellie is drowning Abby, the scene cuts to the time she agrees to try and forgive Joel for what he did at the end of the first game. Her sparing Abby is her way of ending the ‘cycle of violence’; she was correcting Joel's mistake of starting the cycle.

    People often argue, “Why didn’t Joel question Abby’s intentions?” and “why did he trust her?”. The flashbacks in this game are incredible and answer these questions. Each flashback showed progression in Joel's character - his evolution from the first game was evident - as he was beginning to trust others. Violence wasn’t the only solution. He was relaxed and, despite all the losses he faced, seemed happy. This is why, as a matured character, he assumes the good in Abby and decides to help her get away from the infected.

    Nevertheless, I did think there were some pacing issues with the game. Both the "Seattle day 1" were monotonous and slightly repetitive. I also thought that the Santa Barbara chapter was elongated in the beginning. I would have appreciated more stealth kill animations - the same animation of Ellie stabbing with her knife became redundant. I also believe that Lev/Lily becoming an outcast due to her gender/sexuality was an engaging plot point. However, they had already hit the mark with inclusivity and representation with Ellie and Dina. Although I didn't find this to be a problem story-wise, Naughty Dog could have avoided the wrath of the internet by figuring another reason for her to be an outcast.

    The addition of being able to squeeze through tight areas and the skill to go prone was innovative and made combat extremely enjoyable. Naughty Dog also took the time to make artificial intelligence smarter - giving all enemies and soldiers names was a small but important detail that further grounded the story.

    Gustavo Santaolalla and Mac Quayle, the music directors, have created one of the best soundtracks to a game. Action sequences and emotional moments were beautifully backed with the music produced by these legends.    … Expand

    I've been waiting, but not for this.
    I pre-ordered, but not for this.
    I stayed up all night, but not for this.
    This is the greatest fraud in the history of video games.
    Nice graphics but now it doesn't matter, because Neil Druckmann has single-handedly destroyed what the series stand for, and what made TLOU remarkable in the first place.

    O jogo é excelente em todos os aspectos técnicos, porém apresenta uma história bastante incoerente com um final muito decepcionante e frustrante. É uma desonra aos personagens tão bem construídos no primeiro jogo terem suas características completamente alteradas e suas decisões tão superficiais.

Dont listen to bad reviews written by crybaby incels That never even played the game. I am not sure how you review a game and give it a 0-10 score at midnight on the release of the game, its like you never played the game and listened to some butt hurt crybaby adult loser on you tube and **** instead of thinking for yourself.If you get this butt hurt over a video game then you have some real issues you need to attend too.In my opinion this game gets a 10 its not perfect but it is a masterclass in game design,If you absolutely hate the story then I would say its a 9-10, the animations, attention to small details, graphics and game play are excellent. Don't let your self miss out on this game because of insecure people on the internet. be a leader and think for yourself.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked that we got to play as Ellie one more time and continue her story. I don't like how Joel died, I don't like that we had to play as Abby for as long as we did, I did not care for Abby, I hate that we did not get to get revenge at the end. Ellie went out for revenge and for what? To let Abby go and to lose her girl and adopted child? Joel dying wasn't the issue, it was how he died. Sure you could make an argument that Joel has softened in his older age but the Joel from the first part wouldn't have trusted those strangers so easily.

    They could have told the same story and honoured the first game better than they did. At one point I was like "There's no way they're going to make me also kill Ellie as Abby!?".

    To summarise, I'm happy to have played as Ellie one more time, I just feel like it was not executed the best. The game is beautiful nevertheless but storytelling wise, it could have been better.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe there writers of this game forgot how to write a story. If you compare this game to red dead redemption 2 you will understand why. In this game Joel’s death did not have any meaning, if they were to kill of a main character their deaths should mean something in the series. No one should just main characters off just to make the story darker. In rdr2 Arthur Morgan lived as an outlaw and we got to experience his life and understood how his character developed as the story continued and when the character was facing death at the end his death meant John marston(main character of rdr) got to live a life with his family as he always wanted and Arthur Morgan might not have lived a hero’s life but he surely died a hero’s death and at the end he did what’s he wanted to do I.e save John. My point his this game is trash, the facial graphics looks worse than ps3, the story is messed up since you start the whole revenge story to avenge Joel and then at the end the killer is let go because all of a sudden Elli decided killing is bad. Mind that she killed 100’s of people cold heartedly. Absolutely horrible game do not buy it save the money for smtg else. You r better of buying literally anything else other than this game with that money.… Expand

The game makes you kill, even if you do not want, dogs of people, children, what nonsense?

    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.
