    Terrible game. Glad I never had any interest in it. Critics are also so out of touch with reality it's scary. The first one wasn't even that good either.

    Это просто кошмар. Так слить персонажей первой части . Дать Элли мотивацию убивать все и вся. Но в конце она решила пощадить Эбби. Что блять за хуйня . На ее глазах из Джоэля выбили жизнь клюшкой . Она отправилась мстить . Убила просто невероятное количество людей . Но Эбби мы простим. И потеряем все . Вообще все что у Элли осталось, мы потеряем даже блять пальцы и с ними умение игратьЭто просто кошмар. Так слить персонажей первой части . Дать Элли мотивацию убивать все и вся. Но в конце она решила пощадить Эбби. Что блять за хуйня . На ее глазах из Джоэля выбили жизнь клюшкой . Она отправилась мстить . Убила просто невероятное количество людей . Но Эбби мы простим. И потеряем все . Вообще все что у Элли осталось, мы потеряем даже блять пальцы и с ними умение играть на гитаре, грубо говоря один из подарков Джоэля. Надеюсь в 3 части Элли и Эбби станут лучшими подругами .кстати по поводу того как Дракман нам всем говорил что это игра о месте и будет кошмар. Но мести как таковой и нет . нет той агрессии . ощущение что Элли просто cдалась и убивает просто потому что потому .Это не мой ласт оф ас . И наверное лучше бы это не выходило . Мне очень жаль что люди потратили столь колоссальные усилия при создании этой игры . она очень красивая с шикарной физикой, постановкой и деталями. но сюжет . я бы хотел его забыть . не от того что создатели добились того ужаса о котором говорили . а от того что это просто какой то фанфик черновик ЛГБТ девочки 15 лет.… Expand

The problem is the story of this presumed game.So you are telling me Joel is stupid and deserves to die like a dog.No he is not and doesnt deserve that.But Neil and Naughty dog are stupid to go in that direction.Will Ellie let the killer of Joel alive,the killer of the man who said **** you to a cure for the world only to save his daughter,no she would not.But Neil can make that choice because he is such a nice guy.Did I like playing as Abby the cold blooded killer of Joel.No i didnt.Did I waste my time with this game?Yes I did.I want to thank the people at Naughty Dog who created these beautiful graphics and enviorments who have worke nonstop for 7 years to create something beautiful.… Expand

    i can post 0/10 because creators dont respect gamers! The story just isn’t good and it tries too hard to make you feel sorry for people that you immediately don’t want to feel sorry for. And the ending tries so hard to make you feel sad, without making any logical sense.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ich würde dem Spiel eine 3 von 10 geben aber diese überzogenen positiven Reviews sorgen dafür das eine 0 von 10 wird.... besonders von den "Kritikern" die zu meist nur das nachlabern was die Entwickler selbst über ihr spiel sagen. Das Joel stirbt hat mir persönlich nicht gefallen, war aber zu erwarten... nur wie er gestorben ist... durch den zweiten Haupcharacter der aus dem nichts kommt. Die ganze Rachenummer ist auch okay, gut geschrieben, irrationale Handlungen, alles fein. Zudem gab es nur eine durchgehend positive Erinnerungssequenz mit Joel und Elli... als ob das Spiel versucht dir Elli madig zu machen, selbst das war noch okay, weils relastisch ist, nachdem Vertrauensbruch..... aber dann Abby in ihrem Spielteil als Engel von Verdun darzustellen, die dann zum letzen Zweikampf gezwungen wurde.... ohne witz nein... das is schlechtes Storytelling.... besonders da in der letzten Rückblicksequenz Elli nichtmal Joe umarmt hat.... und ohne hin jetz ohne alles da steht.

    Fazit:
    Was habe ich erwartet:
    - Elli gameplay mit Erinnerungen der letzen Jahre und eine eventuelle Versöhnung mit Joel.
    - Ein zweiten Versuch für ein Heilmittel

    Was habe ich bekommen:
    - 50% Gameplay mit Elli
    - 50% Abby gameplay in dem das Spiel versucht mich dazu zuwingen abby zumögen
    - ein enttäuschendes Ende    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS: Now I admit that I haven't played the game personally. But I have watched enough walkthroughs that allow me to understand the direction of the story. This fact DOES NOT make my opinion less credible than someone else's because I know what I was looking for in a part 2 (which was the story) and Naughty Dog did not deliver on it. With that being said, here are my issues with this game:

    PROBLEMS: * Ellie and Joel do not have enough gameplay. Their relationship is what makes the first game great. But that is not built upon and ends prematurely in part 2. Flashback scenes feel like hurtful jabs after what transpires.
    *Supporting characters are dull and uninteresting. (Jesse, Dina, Owen, Manny, etc.)
    *Abby as a character fails to make me feel sorry for her. She feels no remorse when she takes lives and is motivated purely by her lust for blood. Ellie feels regret for her actions which is the human element that is missing in Abby.
    *Very disturbing sex scene. Extremely difficult on the eyes and has no purpose for storytelling.
    *Joel's death is dehumanizing to the character and makes no sense. Joel is very experienced with sketchy situations but somehow is oblivious to the danger of entering the company of complete strangers. Joel is tortured and killed in front of Ellie without a chance to mend their relationship after Ellie learns of what happened at the end of the first game.
    *After Abby kills Joel, bashes the head of a pregnant lady, kills the father of the baby, shoots Tommy in the eye we still play as her fighting Ellie. One of the only characters left that I am emotionally invested in. And we are still supposed to like this character?
    *After Ellie's revenge quest, killing all who was involved in Joel's death, the actual murderer is spared for seemingly no good reason. This robs the audience of a final conclusion.
    *Ellie is treated like the villian and loses everything. Loses her fingers so she can't play guitar like Joel taught her, loses her family in Dina and the baby, loses her bestfriend Jesse all for nothing in return.
    * All of these factors not only impact part 2 but the first game as well. I can no longer play the first game and look at these characters without thinking about where they will be in part 2. I can no longer save Ellie at the end without thinking, killing this one surgeon will ruin the franchise completely.

    CONCLUSION: All of these factors are the ingredients for a horrible storyline that is betraying to the fans and the characters. I'm sure that I haven't even stated all of my issues within the game still. I have also decided to leave out Naughty Dog scandals and real life mishaps even though they have destroyed any respect I have for the company. What angers fans like me the most is that the outrage was predicted and intentionally instigated by Naughty Dog and Niel Druckman. With that being said I will not buy the game and I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy either.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off this game gets a zero because the devs lied through their teeth and sony enabled them.
    They initially said that ellie is the only playable character, player doesnt have to kill dogs and when the leaks came out in direct contradiction to these facts they tried to abuse the DMCA system to suppress it. This is disgusting behavior and needs to be called out and reprimanded sternly.
    On to the game.
    The games review will be divided in two parts. Story and gameplay. The gameplay is awesome but quickly becomes repetitive but what doesnt become repetitive is the at times breath taking vistas the game offers. This is by far a graphical masterpiece.
    The story is like **** donkey coming and **** all over the place. Abby kills joel, while showing no remorse. Ellie kills all her frens with a lot of remorse, in the end they fight but ellie now decides to let abby live? She loses joel her two fingers her partner and her kid meanwhile abby loses nothing.

    A messy, absolutely scummy plot that pathetically uses the violence and revenge as its elements in all the wrong ways and which nullifies all the good elements of the previous game. The story also trashes all the characters, introducing new ones that are either bleak or awful and was reinforced by a equally scummy advertisement campaign.

The gameplay elements are nothing out of this world and the game is plagued by horrible bugs. Yes, it is a game graphically well done, but which AAA game isn't at this point of this generation? it's nothing we haven't already seen done before: The Division 1 and 2, Gears 5, Battlefield V and Star Wars Battlefield are as graphically stunning as this one and were all released before it, so I don't see why the surprise.

    However what is the point to this if the most important things to a single player story driven game (story and character development/interactions) is one that NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY OR TAKE PART IN. This game will leave a bad taste in the mouth of any real fan of the first game.

    It's ridiculous that the Joel character is collapsing. It's understandable that you show a completely different behavior from the previous one, but I think it should be at least for a reason.

I have beaten TLOU2 on the hardest difficulty Survivor & did so for the first game too but grounded & my opinion on the first game love it one of my favorite story game but the 2nd game is very bad now I avoided most spoiler & want to make this very clear because of my faith I don't agree with certain lifestyle choices BUT I absolutely do not hate and I do not have ill will toward anyone I love them just as I love anyone else so any of the things surrounding the game in a negative way did not effect how I feel about the game now the graphic really good BUT it was to be expected so no surprise there the dodging mechanic is interesting definitely made it harder but giving enough time you will learn the timing & it won't be to bad killing off Joel I knew that was happening before the game was even out Joel not getting any younger he was like high 40 early 50 in first game or something like that & the injury he took from all of that he won't be able to keep that up forever so I was never suprise he was going to die BUT the way he died was unforgivable from what we learned about Joel that scenario would have never happened like that Joel does not trust anyone outside his inner circle & he would never put himself his brother especially everyone else lives in a vulnerable position plus from the first game Joel tell Ellie he been on both side of ambush Joel would of never took those terrible risk that is the world they live in you can't trust anyone you don't know & you can barely trust the people you do know so I feel Joel was force into bad writing to fit the story & plot other parts of the game I did not like that I was force to kill dogs but it can't be help if you don't you die I also don't like that you are force to buy perks you don't want I wasted so many pill buying useless perks the first game you had a choice but the 2nd game you do not I didn't like the way things were handled between Ellie & Joel with the truth about what happened that day in the hospital in first game Ellie & Joel are both reasonably smart people now Ellie then may not been able to handle the truth but finding out now she should of been able to see what Joel see not just the love but & wanting to be father figure to Ellie but if Ellie die to become the cure it would be a worthless death everyone will mostly still die by the infected & human plus it not 100% that it would work & every year infected grows I also don't like playing as Abby however I did like some of her perks the old one from first game & new one I didn't even try to shoot Ellie & I did laugh when Ellie kills me but being Abby spicy scene & all nothing can be said to repair the damage that was done but I get why Abby wanted revenge it was her dad that died that spark it all but however there some good moment in the game like the guitar scenes the museum scenes but overall I would had rather known I can beat the game & would rather watch a walkthrough so I don't have to waste as much time as I did on the game but it was interesting Tommy survive I didn't think he did but I didn't like that Tommy show up ruining the small family of Ellie Dina & JJ plus Tommy was being 100% dirtbag to Ellie & ranting off about promises & I can't get revenge because of my injury & trying to guilt Ellie into doing it but because of Tommy it jack up Ellie already fragile mind & in the end leave Dina & JJ behind but the cold part even the revenge does not happen Ellie lose 2 finger loses Dina & JJ & can't play guitar properly all that for peace of mind things are just all over the place the game is bad not playable it a story driven game but since the story is terrible that mean the game is too & there was even times I forgot I was playing TLOU2 it was that boring & bad but overall my experience was terrible & I am glad I didn't buy it my brother did at least money saved but time wasted but if possible avoid this game watch a no commentary playthrough you will thank me later.… Expand

    It breaks my heart to write this, but I really did not expect such a poor story after all these years of waiting. While there were a few genuinely good moments, the majority of games filled up with plot holes. It just took elements of what worked for the first game without understanding what made them compelling.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everyone giving this a positive 10/10 didn't play the game and is bashing people for giving it a 0/10 and not playing the game. People who played the game know that yes it's beautiful technologically and the acting is great, but being realistic the story is bad. The story changes an important character trait of Joel just so they could kill him off. We all expected him to die, but a death scene should feel earned, not happen because the writers couldn't think of a reasonable way to kill him in context. They didn't flesh out any of the new characters well and besides Abby, who is shown a lot but lacks proper humanization. Apparently, by telling me that a person has friends and a dog I should immediately feel bad for them, like did they not expect me to think she also is a typical human?? They treat the player like they don't understand much without explanation, and then at the end, they add info that you should have known the entire game (Ellie knew the entire time but we conveniently aren't told despite playing her) for an emotional blow. In the end, it feels like a good idea that was ruined by cop-outs and bad writing techniques. Not to mention the fact the game is specifically made to make you feel bad which as expert game designer Reggie says, "If it's not fun why bother" In the end, you play as Ellie who's okay with brutally murdering everyone who hasn't done anything wrong and decides to stop by the time she gets to the person who deserves her rage. The game just feels like they had a point but no idea how to get it across.… Expand

Same gameplay mechanics as the first game, boring repetitive story, sucks that they make us play as Abby for half the game.

    Don’t buy this game it ignores the whole reason the first game was enjoyed. I don’t want to play so long as this random chick who we already hate. What is the point of that trying to force you to emphasize with this random person when the whole reason the first game was good was the relationship between Joel and Ellie.

The first half was fun with Ellie (a character we love) but then they make us play as Abby (Joel's killer) and give 10 mins of backstory to try to make us like her. It's terrible story telling. Abby's half of the game has nothing to do with the last of us story. I did not enjoy this game.… Expand

    The inept Direction of this game sadly detracts from the amazing visuals and solid gameplay. The creative decisions made in the story would be laugh out loud bad if only the game wasn't trying it's best to make you feel like crap for playing. Can not in good conscience recommend this game, especially to those who are attached to characters and themes of the first game. Truly heartbreaking.

    Este juego de lejos es uno de los mejores de Ps4.
    No soy ni un fanboy ni nada, soy una persona con una buena perspectiva de las cosas que suceden.
    Respecto a la jugabilidad y graficos indiscutiblemente reciben un 10 de 10, pero por la parte de la historia es donde la controversia empieza.
    -----SPOILERS------

    La muerte de Joel no es para nada forzada, lo que se buscaba era que odiemos a Abby, era preguntarnos el por que de todo esto.
    Mientras mas avanzamos en la historia vamos conociendo los motivos, señales de ello, atraves de flashback.
    La historia concluye de manera asombrosa, las escenas finales entre Joel y Ellie nos explican los motivos de Ellie, es un juego demasiado profundo comparado con el primero, pero de ninguna manera supera su primera entrega.
    El juego no esta hecho para cualquier persona, tienes que jugarlo con la mente abierta, tienes que entender que Joel y Ellie no lo son todos, no son ni Rick ni Carl, ellos son dos personas mas en un mundo cruel y violento, respecto a que la muerte de Joel no haya sido epica, a caso el es un heroe de alguna historia? El es otro superviviente mas que debe pagar las decisiones egoistas que ni Ellie logro aceptar.
    En conclusion, el juego es demasiado profundo y complejo de entender, tanto asi que la gente solo ve la muerte de Joel, y que Ellie deja ir a Abby, no profundiza para nada esa toma de decisiones.    … Expand

Ruining and killing a character that we fell in love with him in the first game that brutaly was not the thing we wanted. at least not like that and at the beginning of the game... joel was the greatest character in the company in my opinion and playing as him again in part 2 was the best thing that could happen in this generation and they simply ruined it.The first episode of the game wouldn't become near that successful without joel and all that emotional moments with him.All of this along with leaks before the release date , very unlikable new characters,dark moments only for shock value,and ignoring the moral ambiguity of the first game are the reasons why i didn't like this game as much as i expected… Expand

    This game should come with a mental health warning.

The most beautiful game I have ever seen beating RDR2 which is a great effort. Also the gameplay is just as good as the first game.

    What can I say? A game I have been waiting for a long time TLOU2 is here and after a full play through I have been let down.

    Now that’s not to say the game is without its merits. The most beautiful game I have ever seen beating RDR2 which is a great effort. Also the gameplay is just as good as the first game.

    I only encountered 2 graphic issues. One during a nest in the hotel the game slowed down to a stutter and I felt like I was moving in slow motion for ten minutes. The other was during a cutscene late on in the game a character had been holding a brick but was comforting another so that brick was stuck in his face making me miss all the facial expressions.

    The game is dark and I don’t just mean some of the creepy locations. It’s graphic from drug use to sex scenes and oh the violence. The game is filled with it most of the time it’s though provoking but it lays on some senseless deaths of main characters that happen in a split second for shock value.

    The characters are incredible and are a joy to witness. Ellie, Joel, Dina, Tommy, Jesse and even Abby, Owen and Mel are all superb. I thoroughly enjoyed playing as Ellie and her interactions with her lover and friends.

    My first 15 hours of gameplay I would of been giving this game a 9 out of 10. Then a switch happened. I’m sure I know what they were trying to do. It just doesn’t work. I have never played a character that I truly didn’t care if they die. The next ten hours where spent feeling forced to desperately like someone I was willing to throw of a high building over and over again. The story dips from there and I played through the worst boss fight in history. After feeling so disheartened the game gives you what you believe is an escape.

    Only to then disappoint you with the finale. It drags the whole story down to feeling like the whole thing doesn’t matter and becoming a waste of your time. I so wish they had ended it at the 15 hour mark with an incredible ending. Instead they drag you kicking and screaming for another 14 hours to such an anti climatic and sad ending it may make you question playing a naughty dog game again.

    Don’t play this game with mental health issues. There is no happiness or justice or light. It’s depressing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay seems old, it is pretty much the same as TLOU from 2013. The story isn't interesting is made to intentionally annoy us or at least that's how I felt. The trailers are not showing the actual game. They hide Abby because they realize most people will hate her and they won't sell as much. Even though the sound and the graphics are awesome the immersion for me was completely ruined at least in the second half of the game because of the main character I had to play. Ellie's side of the story was interesting, Dina and Jesse were interesting characters but Abby, Manny, Owen and Lev were so annoying to me. Every bit of the second half was made just to show you both sides are grey and Abby isn't the bad guy, they even add Lev and Yara to create a similar relationship between the two as Ellie had with Joel in the first game but it just seemed forced. Lev messed up so many times and every time Yara gets punished first she looses a hand and then her life because of Lev's questionable decisions. Also Lev seemed so forced into the story just to embrace an agenda ND are constantly pushing. Same with Abby being so fit. They basically created Nadine from Uncharted 4 all over again. And they say they wanted to create a story where the main focus is how destructive revenge is. Fine but why our beloved characters Ellie and Joel have to loose everything while Abby and Lev are not punished at all? There is no sense of justice. And if they take the nihilistic approach it is again wrong because they are not punishing all sides equally and it felt as if they did it because Abby's side was the side with the agenda characters. In a game where the story is 90% of the whole game and the story is awful the rest doesn't even matter. To me this is a 0/10, I felt spat in the face by ND after I gave them 60$ and pre-ordered the game. They said "it's not as it seems" after the leaks were out. The story was even worst than the leaks showed.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got a few reasons for my score being zero.
    Number 1. Everything what you loved about this game, the relation between Joel and Ellie will be gone within the first our of playtime. All the foundation you build up through the first game within the worlds strong atmosphere and set pieces, this really made it difficult for me to actually continue on playing.
    Number 2. I actually played a lot of the multiplayer in the first game bsck on the PS3.
    The abscense of a multiplayer makes it only worse. This game was so well crafted when it came to its dedicated MLG maps, progression system, weapon feel, playstyles, to some extend I considered this one of the better multiplayer games. My point is, even IF (hypothetically speaking) TLOU was a BAD GAME, I would have still been glued on my chair for its addicting multiplayer component. TLOU2 has no multiplayer so less content for the same money. I usually play games like Battlefield and Call of Duty competitive and if we had to rely on its single player completely, it would have been mediocre at best. Hence why the multiplayer does justice (those single players are plain trash I uaually like games like Darkness and Bioshock instead).
    Number 3. In case you're a cuck who says "HaVe YoU pLaYeD iT?" stop humiliating and contradicting yourself. You don't need to play a game like E.T. for two hours to realise it's bad. The same applies for this game, and pretty any game really. You're not going to tell me that if you don't like a sports, racing, fighting game that I (anyone) have to play it for 10+ hours to form an opinion if I just have no interest in the core gameplay. Yes, in theory, the last three hours could be the best hours of your entire life. However, I did only feel pessimism at every second whenever I had to keep on playing what the writers did to Joel. I went back to the retailer why I was upset, and I got my money back. Now I'm stuck with a TLOU2 tophy list on one of my dummy accounts that I can never remove. It feels like a confrontation whenever someone can see this on my list. I really feel letdown by Naughty Dog. I played since I was very young both Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter on my PS2 (PS2 is backwards compatible so no I didn't need a PS1 to play PS1 games), up until Uncharted 1, 2, 3, 4 and the first Last of Us.
    Number 4.Yes, the game does function but it adds very little in comparison to ALL Naughty Dog games. So why bother having a game fhat really ruined the first game, and is inferior on many fundemental fronts. If you want a game like this that is actually good and recent, go with Uncharted 4, Last of Us 1, God of War 2018, just a few games that don't ruin your mood and really do praise to both old and new fans.

    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.
