    This game is shameful to think the studio name Naughty Dog once meant something. The animators and individuals who built the textures and models should take pride in their work. But the writers and people that allowed this muddled piece of garbage to surface should be kept up at night. You had fans waiting years for this game. Ready to explore the consequences of Joel not being honestThis game is shameful to think the studio name Naughty Dog once meant something. The animators and individuals who built the textures and models should take pride in their work. But the writers and people that allowed this muddled piece of garbage to surface should be kept up at night. You had fans waiting years for this game. Ready to explore the consequences of Joel not being honest about his selfish choice to save Ellie in the first game. No instead we get a random ******* cult a character who is suppose to somehow include the LGBTQ+ community but instead turns them into a raging psychopath and the cherry on top is you have to play this piece of ****. How did this become a game, who signed off on this and allowed it in the end. Speaking of the word end there isn't one it's pathetic it's the equivalent of the developer spitting in your face after already beating you into the ground. I really wish I could give this more than a 0 for the model/texture designers, animation devs, and people who helped sculpt the underlying fundamentals. But the writers poor job takes away the score I was going to give them. It is so bad that I am actually taking time to review a **** game instead of playing another one.

    This piece was shameful, There isn't enough bleach in the world to wash my eyes out and clear my head of this pathetic pathetic excuse of a "story" My 3 year old niece writes better stories and all she has to do is scribble a picture together and it's coherent. What is wrong with you Naughty Dog, you should have kept Amy Hennig you CRETINS!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game epitomizes the problem of politicizing the entertainment industry. They sacrifice good storytelling and coherent plot lines to get across a political message. I’m all for the social inclusion and diversity, but killing the most beloved character in the worst way possible and having the entire game be about revenge, just to leave such a disappointment of an ending. Game was just such a let down. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I cannot believe Naughty Dog managed to completely trash a top-tier, triple A masterpiece of a game because they couldn't be bothered to develop an interesting story.
    It all feels like a repetitive task, with empty emotionless characters. It's almost like a PR stunt - they killed off the protagonist just so they could give Ellie a girlfriend - which nobody likes by the way. Not because of her "love" preferences, but because of how she is introduced: she is the one to kill Joel! Naughty Dog thought that a few-minutes-long introduction would've made up for that, and that we'd all start loving her. Well, they were terribly wrong.
    Do not waste your time and money.

    False adverting with the plot, Naughty dog completely disregarded what people liked about the first game and instead shoveled out this trash, On top of that the crunch time game dev's at Naughty dog had to experience is inhumane just to finish the game. Loved the first game tough ...

    3rd point is ABSOLUTE, COMPLETE FAILURE, and instead of this you just feel contradiction, dissonance, that developers and critics deceived you. And considering bothering gameplay, with the minimum character development and poor story this is definitely ZERO out of 1000.
    The only reason developers made their money is because of respect and hopes from the 1st part. What a pity

There is too much asking to just go along with it without proper story. As i said...holes a plenty. Just a weak badly structured story which bares none of the greatness of Part 1. To wait so long and be this disappointed is heart breaking. I'll just keep playing the original whenever i get the itch & pretend this doesn't exist. Heartbreakingly disappointed. And people should be allowed hold their opinion without being bullied or name calling taking place or being brow beaten into liking something they don't have the same warmth of feeling for.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My rating is not based on any anti-gay sentiment and to accredit it to that would be blasphemous. What isn't blasphemous is just how terribly written the story of this game is. You attempted to make a revenge/avenger sequel and ended up making a piece of **** mixed with a rainbow that will go down in history as the biggest example of a producer missing the mark with their audience. Why the SJWs at metacritic gave it an obnoxiously high score is beyond me; however, i think they were scared of negatively reviewing a game that had two same sex, gay female protagonists. This game is a hard pass unless you are playing it specifically for that reason Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The whole story is just bad. I have to give credits to the graphics and gameplay. However, playing this game is like watching a ridiculous movie that makes no sense whatsoever. Joel in TLOU told Ellie never trust people out there. But in TLOU II, Joel be like: "Hi, I'm Joel and this is my brother. We live nearby and my SSN is 12345."
    I almost stopped playing when the game let you play Abby. I just don't care about her or what she has been through. What is worse is the ending. I know people have different perspectives of revenge. But ellie killed hundreds of people just to meet this Abby girl but enventually let her go? TBH if anyone thinking about buying this game, Please NOT. Watch some youtube play through videos and that's it.

    They already mention the word "Bigot" at minute 10.
    Not only do they kill the main character at first, but they make you play to "empathize" with an unclean character who didn't even have a really powerful motive for killing Joel. And you have to see when it is f%%&ed.
    UNPLEASANT!
    Abby's father wanted to kill Ellie, Joel had the right to blow her head off.
    Not only that ... Joel saves Abby's life in the bars against the zombies and pays him by blowing his leg off with a shotgun. Complete garbage.
    And finally, the player can't even take revenge on that nasty character by playing with Ellie.
    Playable appearance and aesthetics: Normal, it has some bugs, but the graphics are fine.

    The game is a play manufactured to purposely break Naughty Dog.

    This one was tough, let's get the good stuff out of the way first:

    Graphics; Best I've ever seen together with Red Dead Redemption 2.

    Sound: Not as memorable as the first game but still very good, on a technical level it's amazing.

    Gameplay: The controls are responsive and the animations are among the best I've seen in a game. The AI is not the best but a great improvement over the first game. The dodge and prone mechanics are both nice improvements over the first game.

    Now the bad stuff, I'll start lightly;

    The pacing is sometimes worse than the first game due to more open areas, I felt like there was a bit too much exploring before something happend in the story. The first game had more evenly spread out portions of combat/exploration/cutscenes.

    The new characters aren't all that intresting, but that's mostly because it's hard to avoid comparing them to Joel and Ellie who are always excellent. Dina is one of the worst and most annoying characters I've ever seen in a game, and totally unintresting. Abby was better but I felt her story could have been told through DLC or a spin-off.

    The story in general is not bad, I actually enjoyed alot of it. The main problem I had with the game was Joel's fate. How they could do this to a beloved character that I waited 7 years to go on an adventure with again is unbelivable. A few hours into the game I felt absolutely no reason to go on and finish the game. What kept me going was mostly because I enjoyed the beautiful scenaries.

    I had no real issue with the characters being gay/bi/whatever, but after hearing the word "bigot" twice in the first hour I kinda understood that this was gonna be another one of those "message over story" productions.

    This could have been so great, the potential is surely there. But Naughty Dog went for shock value instead of something more traditional and maybe boring. The problem with shocking the audience is that now something is broken that can't be fixed, and if there's ever a third game I couldn't care less about it.

    I had waited 7 years, I was hyped as hell, I trusted you Naughty Dog, I payed $60, and I got spit in the face, that's how I feel. So while the game looks like a 10 for someone who's not invested in the first game like I was, for me... it will be a genuine 0.

Players control Joel, a smuggler tasked with escorting a teenage girl, Ellie, across a post-apocalyptic United States. The Last of Us is played from a third-person perspective.

In the online multiplayer mode, up to eight players engage in cooperative and competitive gameplay.

    If you liked the first game, do yourself a favor and forget this one exists, this game actively makes a mockery of what made the first games story and characters special to so many people. If you want to play it for just the gameplay you'll likely enjoy it, but if you care about the story and characters at all, you're better off staying away

    A depressing and sad act of self-indulgence that Neil and Sony thought would be a pinnacle achievement. Instead they get a dramatic collapse of their fan/customer base. You should be ashamed.

    A bunch of sjw political bs that had no place in the storyline. Pander to your players not to the damn sjw's that aren't even gonna buy your game.

    TLOUS mocked and insulted users who liked the first episode. Did you say that the main theme of Part 2 was hate? Naugthy-Dog!
    Then you have succeeded.
    Congratulations.

    Este juego es la viva imagen de como arruinar una hermosa franquicia.
    No estoy en contra de ningún personaje en particular,por ningún motivo en particular, la historia fue tirada a la basura y escupida.

    I don't think I need to say anything that hasn't already been said. The development behind this game was corrupt, and the finished product is only passable from the hard work of the developers, but even then is butchered by higher ups

    It's humorous that all of the negative reviews are bots, and the positive reviews are legitimate. Here is a positive review that I slightly changed so it reads the same but with negative adjectives rather than positive, with the changes marked with brackets:

    It's humorous that all of the negative reviews are bots, and the positive reviews are legitimate. Here is a positive review that I slightly changed so it reads the same but with negative adjectives rather than positive, with the changes marked with brackets:

    This game is absolutely a [bad game]. Don’t listen to all the [fanboys] jumping on the bandwagon that are [loving] it to just [love] it. Yea there’s some story elements I didn’t agree with but it’s also a [terrible] story if that [doesn't] make sense. Gameplay and graphics are next level and the characters are [horrible] as well, the music is beautiful throughout the game. Hopefully the franchise [changes] with TLOU3.

    Now that reads exactly like the other negative reviews, but apparently such reviews are by bots and worthy of Metacritic deleting them. However, the initial positive review is allegedly legitimate, honest, and thought out. You decide what you think is accurate, but note the obvious slant in the game's coverage.

    Why the false advertising? Why the hyper salaciousness? Why did you do this? Graphics were decent, gameplay still very weighted but has its own vibe which is nice. On a technical level a find sign off for this generation, as far as story, an under pinning of how ND is being led by sex obsessed sociopaths.

    Huge disapointment. Look up reviews on youtube just to see why the story is horrible. It ruins the whole game even though their is really good things about the game. Example: gameplay, graphics, music, immersive. But sadly, in a game like the last of us, story is the most important factor. And naughty dog sadly failed us. I am truely hurt naughty dog.

I was a die-hard fan of this series. Now I don't even want a part 3 cause I honestly can't see how you could fix this series without deleting a lot of what happened. (By the way, I passed this game with 29 hours and 14 mins of gameplay) P.S when I talk about the story I mean the OVERALL story. Not the dramatic moments that people complain about if you know what I mean Expand

    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]
