    Did you enjoy the smart, careful, pragmatic, untrusting hero of the first game? Well I hope you enjoy that character being dumb, careless, gullible, and beaten to death with a 9 iron within the first few hours of the game.

    Gameplay and history are total garbage. Seriously, more than 10 hours of cutscenes?

    Gameplay and graphics worse than games released years ago. I've played games of 2015 with more beautiful graphics and better scripts.

    The script for this game is a bad joke. It was better to stop at the first game.

    The game has a great graphics, no loading between the chapters, an unforgettable music, best mo cap and voice acting performance, and an amazingly fun gameplay all which is wasted for the poor story telling, some reading this review may say all this can't be ruined by story but all I say is wait until you play it yourself you'll understand how bad it is that you don't wanna continue the game from a point.
    I just don't understand what was all that we got in the first game? what was that for? all that character development all that bounding to those characters was for what? to just say hey we made you love them now we destroy them, it was so sadistic move, it was't just a bad ending, it was abusing and insulting for me, a big fan of the game and almost every other fans I know.
    I'm deeply sad for what has happened to this great game so many different ways to continue the story to please the fans and create something unique but, too bad they chose the way to insult the fans and destroy the game in a unique way.

    Absolute disrespect towards the 1st game. The story and the characters are so horribly written that it doesn't even make me angry anymore, just sad. There is nothing new in the gameplay we haven't seen already in other games. The only thing that's truly great about this game are the graphics. But that's it. The quality of the story rivals the story of Star Wars VIII: The last jedi.

    I spent about 25 hours to beat the game and did not read the spoilers beforehand.

    I am a huge fan of the first game. Though I try my best to lower my expectations, I find it hard to say that tlou2 is a great RPG. Everything except for the story is great, I'm especially impressed with the detailed character model and physics effect, hail to the best ropes in video game history. But    I spent about 25 hours to beat the game and did not read the spoilers beforehand.

Everything except for the story is great, I'm especially impressed with the detailed character model and physics effect, hail to the best ropes in video game history.

    But this is a story focused RPG, therefore major flaws in storytelling are simply not tolerable. Without spoiler, I'll list a few problems I found with the plot: 1. Characters don't behave consistently, one second they kill and torture people with absolutely no remorse, the next second they suddenly turned into a saint. 2. Unlike its predecessor, the theme of this game feels somewhat distant for me. I found it hard to sympathize with the choices made by the main characters. 3. A lot of basic stuff, like the language used by characters, handling of death scenes, etc. is simply not detailed and compelling enough. 4. The enemy AI and introduction of dogs as an enemy made it a lot harder to clear the game without killing anyone. Considering the game advocates against violence, this is somewhat sarcastic (how should a game discourage users on violent actions? Refer to MGS series!). 5. Some players may feel they are being pushed to make certain decisions.

    Talking about the 'pushy' aspect of this game. I am a born pacifist. I don't hate anyone, and would certainly choose to let go of hatred and vengeance. But I wouldn't dare to make that decision for someone else! As I am not in their shoes, it would be so arrogant of me to claim that I know better, or that I even understand what they feel. Some might be able to accept the game more if they are given choices like was done in other games (like the Witcher series, or even GTA).

    Even considering all these flaws, TLOU2 is not a bad game, why so many people gave extremely negative reviews? In my opinion, this is a retaliation against the high media score. For games rated 9+ on Metacritic, like FF7/10, like Zelda ocarina of time, like MGS4, you can easily scroll 10 pages on Amazon without finding a single negative review. The fact that this game got such mixed reviews on Amazon US and Japan, on PS store, and Metacritic user rating, speaks out the fact that the game media, who are supposed to be a reliable reference of a game's overall 'likability' (LUL on that), are not doing their jobs as good as we would like. Taste is a very diverse thing, yes, if there were more diverse opinions on this game from the media, I am sure a lot of people would not be as angry and disappointed as they are now.

    By the way, I think it's pretty rude to accuse other people as being homophobic/misogynic just because they dislike this game, as I said the taste is a very diverse thing, the fact that someone disagrees with you, does not make them evil ,or stupid. It's not like Ellie was not gay in the first game, right? No one was complaining about it back then, as a matter of fact, WE ALL LOVE ELLIE! And that is precisely why this game hurt me so much-- the person I love turned into a complete stranger.

    This is a difficult and even crazy time. I was hoping a masterpiece would bring us together through shared enthusiasm and love, and make this world slightly better. But it didn't, it made people even more divided and I am deeply saddened by this fact.    … Expand

And I can tell you from the mouth of a die hard fan of the first game this was a huge fail on naughty dogs part. Killing off one of the two players that made the first game so great in such an unfashionable way was disgusting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game....Gameplay is on par with Uncharted 4. The AI is dumb but has some neat mechanics. Weapons and items are deep enough for a third person adventure game. The dogs are as annoying of an enemy as dogs should be, with Resident Evil setting that standard decades ago. Actually, Resident Evil is a better comparison enemy wise than Uncharted and depending on your preference of difficulty in a story driven game that is good or bad. My problem with this game isn't the gameplay. This gameplay in another game would have warranted at least a 5 on its own. However, this is a sequel to one of the best games in the entire catalog of Sony's First Party titles. That prestige was earned on the writing and acting of the first game and this game just doesn't come close to that masterpiece. The worst part, it appears to be a conscious choice. A choice to push shock and awe, political issues, gender issues, and sexuality over a well written narrative. Honestly some of the best fiction in history used these and others to create a story that has been loved by millions for decades. The difference is the medium of video games. Video games require more commitment and immersion than any other entertainment out there and that nuance was ignored when the decision was made to be so abrasive with the story.
    I remember the greatest hoax in gaming history, MGS 2: Sons of Liberty. Kojima released the first two hours of gameplay months in advanced and his fan base spent hours if not days replaying the demo. We knew every inch of that tanker, every guard patrol, every hidden girly mag and poster. We were so hyped to see what happened to Snake after the tanker sank...only to spend the rest of the game playing a completely new character. What we didn't know at the time, or eve for years later, was the Tanker was the last time we played Snake in his prime. The future of the series was spent playing Big Boss, a weird clone hybrid, and Old Man Snake. Never again were we the elite veteran Solid Snake at the top of his game. Fast forward to Last of Us II. What should have been the biggest hoax in gaming ended up being a slog of gut-wrenching scenes followed by agenda driven plot and at the end we are left with those we hate alive and whole and those we loved dead or maimed. I just can’t get behind that. I play game series for character development and to return to beloved worlds. The Last of Us II spent the entirety of the game ensuring I never want to return to its world and causing me to wish the story stopped at the end of the first game. Take what you will from that.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion the game was great, good graphics, good sound, kinda gory sometimes. Yeah, true, the game didnt evolved a lot combat wise, the aiming is still kinda clunky for me ( but bow's aiming has been greatly improved)

    I think the story shouldve ended back when Abby let Dina and Ellie go, after that it feels so dragged on and literally nothing changes beside Ellie losing 2 fingers.
    Don't mind the bad reviews, the story is not an oscar winning story but its pretty good.

    I liked more playing with Abby actually, hopefully ill get to see some more adventures of her and Lev.    … Expand

    What in the world were they thinking? Were they taking stupid pills when they wrote this story? It’s so bad I got nauseous and could barely finish the game. I was so excited for this game even after all that spoiler stuff that happened. Now I wish they never made this game. This game ruined the last of us for me so badly that it is no longer one of my favorites.

    The LGBT narrative was pushed too much to try and make the player think we are the enemy of anyone who is LGBT and should be reformed and I was really offended by that.

    Killing Joel was a big let down as I felt naughty dog made him into the enemy and that he deserved to die for his actions.

    I could go on further but this franchise has set the records for the best and worst games of all time and that’s a record not many can replicate.    … Expand

    The other trashy thing is they really tried to manipulate the player so bad that they made ellie so evil but abby ? NO they made her so perfect and tried so bad to make the player love her, which is so stupid considering how will a person will stand with a character that just killed the main character which everone love and making the player play her part is just too much, I almost loved the game when I played as ellie but with abby part ?

Not a good game, the gameplay is exactly the same as the original, which was never that different or unique in comparison to other games to begin with, the story was trash as disappointing, and the graphics honestly don’t look any better the the remake of the first one on the ps4, there is no reason to buy this over priced nonsense, you’d be better off replaying the old one, or any other zombie game you like. And yes, most of the rumors you heard about the game before launch were true. Supposedly that one character isn’t trans, but my god, that’s a man baby! 0/10 would not recommend, to anyone, it’s like all those terrible Disney classic sequels that no one asked for.… Expand

    The motion capture was amazing. The voice actors were excellent. The artists that created the world were inspired. If you take all the story line out of the game it would be that 10/10!

    However the story, characters and character development were absolutely awful. It isn't a game. You don't get any payoff in the end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I start my problems with the story is not that its split its just how its split and who you play as in games such as hotline miami, hotline miami 2, and halo 2 to name a few off the top of my head along with others the split character story telling is made so well that it actually makes the games better giving the game (since talking about the story) a more interesting narative, more character depth, and more diversion in levels to from very slight to drastic while still being fun, the last of us part 2 fails in 2 of these it does give more character depth but in the 10 hours with abby the character depth is weak and the character depth around her is worse so it may give good character depth but a bad character with more depth in a way is just a worse character now to my quick review from an average gaming consumer and last of us fan and until now naughty dog fan (i like their games but their next project will need to revive my faith) .the story was wack, with setup in the first hour or 2 it could of been executed better but then they took a fat dump on it, playing as ellie was good and fun story was still alright then even if not as solid as the first game but then playing as abbie was no fun at all because the character is not likable and the flashbacks didnt change what I thought about the character and it felt like abby was the main character, without Santa Barbra you definitely play as abbie more and playing as abbie was boring and felt like a develoution from playing as ellie, and the ending was just bad because abby gets everything and ellie loses everything, the game starts out with an eye for an eye type story but then turns into an eye for nothing and actually more like an eye for another one of my eyes becuase abby gets everything she wants while losing a couple friends while ellie loses everything along with friends, even some of her fingers so she can no longer play the guitar which is the last thing she has left from joel, the reason i said that was not to spoil but to prove abby was the main character of the game the ending was no where near satisfying, playing as abby was not fun at all except for certain places, the sex scene was put in the game for no reason, characters would do actions severely out of their character to make the story move forward, this game used sheer shock factor most of the time instead of emotion. They failed making most of the new characters especially abby and it would be hard for me to care less about the scar's the scar kids and what happened to them (war happens boo hoo) if what happened to them happened to jackson it would of been much more powerful but instead a random cult's town got burned down. The game could of been redeemable if it was executed better, didnt play as abby maybe played like joel or with joel like everyone wanted or if naughty dog wanted to kill him do it better and play as maybe tommy, the only flashback I enjoyed was the one where they tried to go to the music store the rest were boring and put in just to have joel in the game more or to attempt to humanize the WLF members which fails. Naughty dog lied to the fans in the trailers and they did it on purpose to not affect sales if people knew you were going to have to play as a random character that kills a fan favorite for half the game and fails at making her a character, if they advertised the game as having abby as the co main character I would not of bought the game because I wanted to play as ellie and go on HER adventure im not mad that she is a lesbain girl I would not of cared in the first game if joel was gay but I wanted to play as ellie becuase we as fans cared about her and now I have 2 emotions from this game. The fake out ending the game had before santa barbra did nothing but make me sad and bored during it and then hyped up for a bad ending that made it even more painful to let abby sail off into the sunset with a trasure chest full of our 60 bucks, also I was very mad that after the fake out ending you play as abby for about 10 more minuetes in that moment when I started playing as her again I felt like deleting the game because almost no one wants to play as abby. The worst thing naughty dog did was first make an evil character that takes pleasure in hurting and killing people and using cheap tricks for us to think that shes good and ellie is bad but then to play as her for 10 hours and in those 10 hours to brutally attack ellie a character we care about and then at the end of the game not give us the satisfaction of killing a character that not only hurt ellie a character we care about but hurt us she killed joel (a fan favorite), killed jessie (a new character that I was starting to like while playing as ellie and also allowed ellie to be a parent as a lesbian becuase adoptions are not easy in the apocolpsye), crippled tommy (a character that is nothing but nice to his friends and likeable), and beat diana's head in and attempted to slit her throat knowing she was… Expand

It saddens me to say that I enjoyed the game visually and although the gameplay mechanics are still the same outdated janky mechanics from the first game it wasn’t a good enough improvement. I liked certain aspects of this story but majority of it made me fume in anger.

Joel dies in a horribly written way and it's basically the generic revenge game, but really poorly executed. They tried to do a really heart melting story like the first The Last Of Us, which was one of the greatest games ever. In the first one, it's the story of Joel which finds Ellie and has to go through a lot of hard things. He started to like Ellie like if she was his daughter. In the end we know that Ellie is the cure from the disease and the hospital takes her away. When Joel learns this, he went to save her even though she was going to save humanity with her blood.

    The second one is just cringy and feels like it is made by some liberals doing a "fan" fiction. Literally. It's been a long time that we know that Ellie is lesbian, but in TLOU2 they straight up went for sex scenes and kissing scenes that this game really doesn't need. Like I'm saying, mega cringe.

    The other thing is that Joel is usually so cautious and does whatever he can to survive, for example in the first one, he never really liked the idea of surviving with strangers and all of that. Now in this piece of **** Joel just joins a random house and tells his name and that is how he dies. HOW DARE THEY DO THIS TO MY BOI JOEL. He dies because of some **** Abby which is killing him for vEnGencE. And the part that infuriates me the most is that after the cringy fight in the end of the game, Ellie doesn't even kill Abby, and why? Like I was telling they tried to do a heartwarming story like the first one but The Last Of Us 2 just gave us a cringy and generic revenge story.

    Gameplay wise it is not bad, but there are not a lot of improvements, which is ok, considering that the first's one was really good. The graphics ain't bad, but I expected better. Now the glitches... The game is so **** glitchy, that is all I have to say.

    In conclusion, the game is horrible : it feels like some liberals just wrote a fan fiction with their ass, it is a cringe attempt to make a good game, it has more than a horrible story and just doesn't deserve any love, it deserves only hate and I have no idea how many dollars naughty dog payed this web site to have a such high score.

The ending made me regret wasting hours of my life watching the walkthrough. I love the fact that the critic reviews are so high. It shows you how biased they really are.

    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.
