    我到底玩了什麼?這劇情就是一直在給玩家餵屎,如果說遊戲系統爛那還情有可諒,但把一個本來完美的劇情寫成這樣就是編劇不對了。

    Leading up to the release I already knew this game would be a disappointment. I am now currently replaying the first game so I can actually feel something good after all of the joy was sucked out of me. Terrible writing, zero character development, the plot?... cancer. I got zero satisfaction from playing this game. Don’t buy it.

    **** This game is a big middle finger for all TLOU 1 fans.

    Everything other than the story from this game is good. Good graphics, beautiful music. But the story is really S***. For whoever haven’t play this game, just play TLOU 1 and don’t waste your money on this beautiful ****.

Honestly this is the first time I have every had to make a review on a game ever so sorry for that but I’m done with all of this game and it’s bs I’m now 17 I played the first game while I was 10 still remember so much and the good old days wasn’t accually a fraise we all would say but I’m give it maybe a 0 becaus I’m pissed and that is because of I’m pissed the fact is why would u trick us with ohh Joel is going to be there throughout the game and then immediately kill him i the first two hour of the game it was a joke but hey maybe if we got to kill Abby and the full team boom we get fengness like bruh as soon as I saw that I had to sit there on stream so fusrated like omg I finally play this game and now that I finished I’m so frustrated that all day I sit there saying why why would u do this and then make me play as here and beat up Ellie then leave us off we’re Abby is all good in her boat but Ellie can’t play guitar and lost her fam and let her live so bad. Like I don’t care about Abby but hey they could have at least done something better like we start off a little bit out of Jackson and have to make our way there go actually through the full game as both Characters and maybe throughout the game u get choices u got to make as Abby and when that day we saw in the first hour of the game u can choose to to save Joel because abbys squad don’t like him too and Joel saved Abby so then we could Have Abby giving that back to him after her friends attacked him but idk just can’t get this out of my head anymore so frustrating to know I can’t play as Joel in the next game and now I can never play the first game ever without rembering what happened in the 2 but honestly rip Joel one of the greatest characters to ever be in a game :( Expand

    Only those who are not confident want to be judged on their intentions, not the outcome.
    So when you criticize the outcome, it makes you look like you're against the intention.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In 2020, there is so much going on. I just want to enjoy a good game, but instead, TLOU 2 gave me a nightmare.
    This is a great disappointment. I am a big fan of Naughty Dog studio since Uncharted 1,2,3 & 4 as well as Last of us. The whole development team from Last of us part 2 seems don't understand the core success of the first game. It's not about gameplay, its about the characters and story. In part 2, they decided to throw them all away; characters are disposable for the sake of the story. If Naughty Dog is so confident about their game, why didn't they promote Abby in the first place and let us know that we will be controlling Ellie and Abby in this game? The answer is simple; they know the reason why we bought this game, coz we wanna see more interaction between Joel and Ellie. So they decided to give us a fake trailer and lure us into buying this piece of garbage. I know Joel will die, but the way you treat him is unacceptable. And still, try so hard to make Abby likable and sympathy her. AGAIN, I don't care about her. No matter how hard ND tries, I still won't like Abby. Even you gave her better weapons, better gameplay. Sorry, I just can't relate to her or what so ever.
    The beauties of the first game are characters driven the story, but in part 2 is story-driven characters, which led to unreasonable action for different characters, such as Joel, Ellie, and Tommy. Naughty Dog, please stop finding excuses for yourself. We, gamers, do not care about your PC stuff. If you can get us a good story, none of that matters. I hope ND can learn from this mistake and bring us more good games in the future. I still have hope for you, please don't let me down.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I waited 7 years to play this game and all I got to show for it was a disjointed and overloaded story that seemed like a torture/snuff film. The game made me feel disgusted and gross. The gameplay was sadistic and unsatisfying and the story was absolutely a mess as well. Not to mention they tossed away the MC from the first game like a piece of trash. Ellie also lost everything for no reason.

    It's almost as if the writers hated the characters and wanted them to suffer. Absolutely horrid. Do not buy and avoid at ALL costs.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is not what was promised and it is an offense to his legacy. First, the most beloved character (joel) from the previous installment is killed in a treacherous and pathetic way and the worst thing is that they expect you to love the murderer (Abi) despite her actions.
    He feels forced what is political, always trying to spit it in your face, we have paid a game to have fun, not to educate us.
    The level design is boring, repetitive and confusing, many times it happens that you do not know where to go because it is not well designed, you cannot explore as freely as promised and it is boring because of how poorly designed they are many times, besides that later it happens that places are repeated (How can a place where criminal trials are made compared to a restaurant?).
    The story feels stuffy, it has no rhythm and when you think it is going to get interesting, cinematic from a flashback.
    The enemies are pathetic, they do not show intelligence, their patterns are all the same and repetitive and it becomes boring because just pressing two buttons is enough to kill them.
    The music is poorly implemented, it is not supposed to be because you must listen to the enemies (which are scarce) and the game becomes monotonous and boring.
    And the end....
    I give a zero for the lack of respect that the creators had to the original game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Ultimate Review for Tlou 2 and Neil Druckman
    (with respect) translated from Spanish to English.

    Anita Sarkesian love letter by Neil druckman.

    good to start we will highlight the good, graphics, ia, modeling, ready that is the good (now the bad and what is loaded to everything you name above).
    To start I want to clarify before they tell me homophobic and blah blah blah I'm not, since 1 (in the dlc) already knew about elly and it didn't seem bad to me.
    The game in plot terms is a complete GARBAGE (and do not come to me with that of a dark game for dark times) first in the 2 or 3 hours of the start they **** on one of the best characters in history in a CYNICAL AND WITHOUT SENSE, Joel is killed by abby so cruelly that he makes us hate hatred of abby's own character (or whatever) in addition to another character like Neil druckman spitting on Joel's body and making fun of him (in fact the actor from this character later on Twitter made fun of Joel as well so confirm my theory).
    But instead of complaining about what Miles already says, I'm going to contribute something from me for this, this is nothing more and nothing less than a script that tries to be cryptic giving a message in the style of death stranding (although death stranding is a better game by far) the moral that everyone understood is revenge is bad but other than that goes that Neil druckman wanted to represent the heterosexual white man through Joel and a transgender person through abby and they wondered what represents elly, well elly does not represent a person if not a decision and what decision? The one of the patriarchy and the one of the white man, the movie hero or the one of the inclusion and justification of abby, therefore tlou2 makes the player feel guilty of what elly is and makes you try to understand how elly made the right decision to Assuming Abby had a justification for doing what she did (revenge is bad when it comes to killing a transgender but not for spitting on Joel's face and doing many other things without any argumentative justification) nor talking about Elly losing everything so that at the end he said "better not" is a NO sense of argument and is THE WORST WRITTEN IN HISTORY, so Neil druckman only used the characters to represent ideologies and stereotypes that he based on his own ideology decided to kill and mock in the game (it goes without saying that the TOTAL INFLUENCE OF ANITA SARKESIAN is noticeable) if that were not enough, she also wants to make a tlou3 that I imagine will be some garbage like that and that will use this pseudo-descriptive plot structure p To represent ideologies and distill hatred towards the one who does not like it (basically the right).
    Also druckman can not say homophobic and haters to those who put a bad grade since the one as I say above had a very good reception and already knew about elly.
    Therefore, as the bad story does not allow the discerning player to enjoy the other aspects and makes you play with a hateful character (and who is more powerful abby because that ideology is more powerful) the game is titled "a card of love Anita Sarkesian "and her grade is 0.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This Video game is a huge kick in the face to people who have played the first game we waited 7 years for this **** piece of **** game. No the characters are laughable just how stupid they killed off Joel then added a character named Abby to which has no back story. or even mentioned in the first game, and don't get me started on the plot because that **** is all over the place while making the player play as Abby through 70% of the game **** that let us play as Ellie and Tommy not that ****. Man **** this game naughty dog should be ashamed of themselves for releasing this piece of **** of a game. Like | said before the story made no sense at all and the only time it was good when Ellie and Joel were together talking. This game also felt like a cheap jump scare to try and make it more spooky and even had a walking dead feel to it by bringing up that 2 characters are pregnant. Just no hell Joel even felt out of character to which in the first game he ran over a guy who claimed to have a injured leg while in this game he tells some random strangers who he and his brother is and where the camp is. Like what are these idiots thinking when writing this who gave the okay to let something like this even be released naughty dog I'm honestly 100% mad at you.

    If this review helps anyone my advice DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AT ALL once I am able to I am asking for a refund on this game money wasted on a piece of **** of a so called game and if you want a better game go play the first one better than this piece of ****

After viewing this game. IT's terrible; the only characters you even give a **** about is Joel and Tommy. The original story to the first Last of Us game was amazing. Because it was written by Amy Henning. I wanted another great story written by Amy Henning. Neil the cuck. Has ruined a once-great game series. The revenge story with Abby doesn't make any sense at all. The character is completely bland; plain, unrelatable and you don't care for her either. Her supposedly redemption arc she's supposed to have. Have is complete **** She basically goes around murdering people. Just because of what group they belong too. Joel was an amazing character who was broken after losing his daughter, Sarah. In the first game; who forms a fatherly bond with young Ellie. While trying to survive against the odds. he was the hero of the last game. For saving Ellies' life. After the fireflies basically trying to justify killing her and all the others also immune. saying their lives have less value in this dystopian world in order to save everyone else. Abby doesn't feel any remorse or regret for murdering people. Ellie was completely out of character and a **** to Joel over saving her life. Neil dumbed down the character's Joel and Tommy to try and make Abby look better in comparison, all the other characters are straight trash. Yeah, the visuals are great and the gameplay mechanic is still the same, with just a little something added here and there. Even, that's not enough to save this dumpster fire of a game. I hate that Naughty dog git rid of Amy Henning and let that cuck Nail ruin the story she created. I'm done with Naughty dog. False advertising that we could play as Joel and Ellie in the game. a revenge plot with no substance and completely pointless since the character. Wh0 was supposed to get her revenge, didn't get it. I'm glad I did not waste my money on this trash ass game. I watched and borrowed a copy. The characters Vara and Levi are trash as well. Poorly written and underdeveloped characters You don't care about. Neil pushing his personal politics and agenda in this game. This is a huge reason why this story is trash. As well as the whole game. Emotionless relationships between terrible characters. Meanless and Ellie ha no chemistry what so ever with Dina. Shaking my head. Don't waste your time or money on this game it isn't worth it. If you still wanna check this game out. Wait until it comes down to a bargain-bin price of $2. Because that's all this game is worth. That's just me being nice. Expand

    Horrible story, they messed up bad. The last of us 1 is doing so well on building the characters. And the part 2 just destroy everything that they built up and spit on it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a disgrace to the first one. Sure the technical side of it is great, a lot of improvements in the gameplay and graphics. The story side is utterly garbage. They tried to disconnect themselves from the first game by being aggressively progressive in their story, but by doing so they disconnect themselves from the gamers.

    It’s a shame really, the complexity of the characters are nonexistent in the second one. I hope whoever decided this was a good direction will be fired or replaced from naughty dog. I legit returned this game when they killed Joel, and forced me to play as Abby. GTFOH. Abby is as complex as a piece of rock.

    This was truly one of the saddest games I've ever played in terms of how poorly the story was written. It completely ruined a great franchise. It blows my mind that they went with this storyline.

    This game is an insult to every living creature on this planet. It's mere presence would poison a village's water supply for eons to come. Do yourself a favor and do not give this game a shadow of a chance. Can't believe I wasted my valuable time with this train wreck. Good day sir!

    wow what an absolute slap in the face to the fans. Then they have to blame the dislike of their **** writing on transphobia. I wish it were that simple. The gameplay can't completely compensate for last jedi tier writing.

    Sadly, and I hate to admit it. I didn't like the story of TLOU2. I understand that Joel was about to die in this story. But, it's the way he died and by the person who was taking revenge. I didn't like the relationship between Ellie and Joel turned out as well. The first part build up a pretty solid father daughter relationship. But, here I think Ellie is not clear with her thoughts andSadly, and I hate to admit it. I didn't like the story of TLOU2. I understand that Joel was about to die in this story. But, it's the way he died and by the person who was taking revenge. I didn't like the relationship between Ellie and Joel turned out as well. The first part build up a pretty solid father daughter relationship. But, here I think Ellie is not clear with her thoughts and emotions. Which caused her actions taken in doubt. As, a player while playing with Ellie, it will make you feel why am I even playing this. The thing is there is no motive. The first game had hope, that the virus could be a cure. Hope is not the emotion this game has gone for, it's revenge mostly.
    The character Abbey, is the worst character I had to play with in my gameplay history. Every time, she died I hoped she remain dead and the story end's right there. But, no she's the protagonist and the game makes you suffer her 10 hours long gameplay.

    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]
