    Habe mich jahrelang auf einen zweiten Teil gefreut und geblieben ist pure Enttäuschung!
    Die Story nimmt nicht an Fahrt auf sondern plätschert wie purer trash vor sich hin. Bei diesem Teil merkt man wie die möchtegern Fachpresse aus fanboys bestehen

    Pool of ****, graphics that's the only good thing about this, everything else is either mediocre or down right awful. The history is a bad movie, Joel (protagonist in the first game) died in a ridiculous way, the history is very very forced, pushes you down your throat sealing.

    The Last Of Us was one of the best gamed I have ever played. The Last Of Us 2 is one of the worst games I have ever played. Naughty Dog has no clue what made the Last of Us great. They have lost too much talent in recent years and we are left with this trash.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hi from Russia.
    Я поиграл в эту игру. Что нужно знать:

    1. Если рассматривать эту игру отдельно от первой части, то она нормальная.
    Хорошая графика, лично мне нравится физика. Боевая часть тоже классная. Но сюжет как в call of duti. Никакой. Нет персонажей за которых ты будешь переживать. 2. Почему я поставил такую низкую оценку? Потому что я играл в первую часть. Сощдале по свинки отнеслись к нашим чувствам, господа. Они за первый час игры убили полностью уважение к себе. Дело не в нестандартных отношениях между людьми. Клянусь, если я встречаю на улице (или мой знакомый, знакомая) нестандартный ориентации, мне абсолютно все равно. Вот ровно. Но когда это пытаются мне в голову протолкнуть на уровне шедевра первой части, простите,

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game was impressive in regards to its visuals, sound design, voice acting, scenery and game play. What brought this game down was the story and more specifically its execution.

    It opts to go for the bleakest possible outcomes in every scenario. It glorifies its misery. It cynically and naively assumes the worst of humanity out of literally every single person left in the world.

    The game wants you to understand there are multiple sides to every story/person but in doing so, it forces that down your throat while almost ignoring all attempts at developing other parts of the story. An example of this is when Abby kills Joel towards the beginning of the game without (to the knowledge of the player) any reason. This immediately makes the player despise the character, regardless of what justifications they may have in the future. It makes the player completely unable to empathize with Abby getting her revenge. But it constantly tries to make her more likeable and more human in most of her scenes, while at the same time making Ellie and Joel look as bad as possible.

    Then there's that ending. Put simply, "revenge is bad" but only if you're Ellie. Whereas Abby gets hers and more.

    The entire game is just the player watching helplessly and annoyed as the characters make bad decision after bad decision that you don't want them to make. It removes player agency entirely,

    For a story-driven game, the story was a let-down.

    Not only did we all knew from the trailer that the Part 2 will be about Ellie's revenge but also you all wanted to play again as Joel? Just let the old man die already and be with his daughter... I bet he wouldn't want to live another 24 years (altogether 48 years) with that **** apocalypse on his head. If the world turned into the same messed up place as the one in The Last of Us, then I would literally kill myself few seconds later.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a huge fan of the first game (and it's DLC) I'm crushed. Yeah, the graphics are good (personally I thought RDR2's were much better and that was three years ago) and it's pretty smooth. Gameplay is the same as the first game, but you're in it for the story, characters and relationships, all of which goes out the window in this game. Everyone feels out of character, acts out of character, and there's no arcs or growth. They're just miserable, and the game makes sure you are miserable too. Violence was expected, and I'm typically more than fine with it, but a lot of the time it felt too over the top and had me flinching.The plot makes no sense at all, with huge plot holes, no arc, and having everything out of order feels sloppy and disjointed. Also, playing as Abby is a **** slog. They show her brutally kill Joel before giving her a "sympathy arc", which just solidifies me hating her before she gets a chance. Why is she important? We've killed so many as Joel and even more as Ellie. Who gives a **** about her father? The first game was about redemption, how you can always find something to live for, and how even the darkest paths can be turned off of. The first game ended with the player weighing the question of "was Joel's choice acceptable?" But this game doesn't allow you to sit with that anymore. The uncertainty of if Ellie knows and is going along with the lie or actually believes him is thrown out. This game literally has the director lookalike spit on that story's dead body. The relationships from the first game are gone. The characters are gone. The message is gone. What's the point. The ending doesn't even complete the story and just leaves you upset and unsatisfied. What a **** waste. If you haven't condemned your 60 bucks just look up the intro and the museum scene and save yourself the ordeal of the most disappointing game I've ever played. Expand

    The gameplay is also really lame unlike in the predecessor. I was wondering how they pulled that off, until I realized that Naughty Dog has a turn-over of over 70 percent, which means that any talent that had worked at this once great studio has long left for greener pastures, where the company culture isn't disgustingly "woke" and there is no endless crunch.

    How could Sony have greenlighted this garbage?! HOW!!!??? This game is so appalling and frustrating it should have never been made. Rabid far-left SJWism has destroyed a once great game developer and it is a shame to see.

    Sony should do the right thing and shut Naughty Dog down. They are done, nothing good will ever come out of this studio ever again.

    First of all I just wanna say that the bad reviews on this game have two base types: 1) Troll ones, easy to spot, usually the person says something like "great movie, bad gameplay". 2) Real ones, usually of people mad at the story, this person will say something like "awesome
    So this is a REAL review on this game. English is a second language so it might feel a little clunky.

    First of all I just wanna say that the bad reviews on this game have two base types:
    1) Troll ones, easy to spot, usually the person says something like "great movie, bad gameplay".
    2) Real ones, usually of people mad at the story, this person will say something like "awesome gameplay, nice graphics, good soundtrack, awful storytelling".

    So now for the review, there's a difference between storytelling and story. Storytelling has to do with how the story is told, with which steps the production take to make something believable, good storytelling make a world concise. For example, it would be bad storytelling if Ellie would have found a dwarf in the middle of the game, a dwarf that would tell her how aliens came to Earth thousands of years before Christ and planned that whole zombie thingy. Now, this is bad storytelling, it would make TLOU universe inconsistent, there was no building to this.

    {THIS PART CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS}

    Now was there really no building to what happens in this game? You kill hundreds of guys, decide that a cure won't be made just so that you keep the person you love by your side and then you really believe that your actions won't cast a raging spirit? Joel's thing wasn't too rushed, it's many years late in the TLOU universe. From the moment he lost his "first" daughter and escaped with life his death was being postponed. Did you cry, did you feel an indescribable rage through that woman? Did you get yourself lost in the game? Did you feel like you couldn't stop playing until all that was solved? If you did, the storytelling is alright.

    People wanted to play TLOU 1 again, a new version of the story of bonding between a parent figure and its child. What they got was the second part of a brute and cruel story.

    If you are somewhat mature you will like the game.

I don’t quite understand who thought this was a good idea and premise for a sequel. Of all the directions they could’ve taken they chose this absolute rubbish. Abby is perhaps one of the worst characters ever created and the fact she kills who she kills AS WELL AS OTHER CHARACTERS WE LOVE and Ellie is able to be like nah mate all good. Absolutely ridiculous, hey Neil I’m blaming this all on you mate I hope your prepared for all the hate not only you will get, but I think you have tarnished the reputation of nd with this one. Expand

    Blatant disrespect to fans of the original. A primarily story based game with a incredibly weak story with the most pretentious ending that leaves the player feeling empty and hollow.

A primarily story based game with a incredibly weak story with the most pretentious ending that leaves the player feeling empty and hollow. Twists designed for shock value only. I would think most players would agree that playing a certain character for 1/3 of the game was infuriating given the circumstances.... were the writers/director expecting us to feel any different? The player is left wanting to breeze through this section and get it over as fast as possible. Character motivations are set in stone for the majority of the game only to half halfheartedly abandon them at the last moment because "morals"... just wasn't convincing.

    I'm giving a 2 because the graphics were generally great and the gameplay was top notch at certain spots. The overarching story just left such a bad taste in my mouth that I can't in good conscious give this much higher. The direction they went just wasn't it as I think many will agree with me.

    I'm all for character diversity and definitely think representation is important but I suspect many will try to defend this game because it "champions" diversity and will try to downplay the fans negative reaction to this game's story direction.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Credit where it's due: Game looks AMAZING. But, If you are a fan of the first game, avoid this game at all costs. New developers and writers simply kill off and re-write characters from the first game and replace them with their own new cast. No love or attention is paid at all to the story of the first game. some of these negative reviews are hateful/homophobic, but I really regret giving them $60 dollars for this, it is worse than I could have imagined.

    *major spoilers*

    Joel acts completely out of character and dies in such an anticlimactic way, then you play as his killer for 8 hours. Even finding out why she did it doesn't help, she's such an obnoxious, poorly written character. This series is damaged beyond repair and I will make sure not to support anything from these writers again.

    A copy and paste game. The mechanics are the same as previous title. Only difference is the location and the characters. Story wise, it is a terrible script.
    Character design, developers shouldn’t let Anita influence the type of design on a character as per example: Abby. Not a good design.
    Also, I pity the animator who have to animate that explicit scene. I wish it was deleted from my memory.

    The entire journey is pointless as there is no payoff when confronting the "last boss."
    This game also renders the entire journey of the previous game pointless.
    The first game didn't have very good gameplay but the great story and characters made up for that downside, this game has the same gameplay as the first installment but with the addition of a terrible story and characters.
    The sex scene was awful and unnecessary, it did not add anything of substance.

They really waste the potential of a good story here with some of the writing decisions they made. Things feel really forced. There are a lot of weird undertones in the story that really make you feel as if they are trying to push an agenda instead of focusing on a natural, diverse, well-layered characters.

    The death of a major character was extremely bad in its execution. For me this game really ruined the legacy of the original. Ellie and Joel were great characters in the original. This game was unsatisfying in so many ways.

    Neil Druckmann had an very uninspired vision for this project. While I think representing diversity was a positive thing in the game's storytelling, I also believe that character development was a failure- which ultimately cheapens the ambitious characters more than if they had just gone with a vanilla action-movie cast. You can be as ambitious with characters as you want, but if you don't build good characters, there is no element of comprehensive story telling.

    I am disappointed yet not surprised by the positive feedback from reviewers. This game was just not for me.

I have played the game and I had to say, it is absolutely the worse sequel in the last of us franchise. It's like having a dog you always adore for years and suddenly you lost interest and gave it away to some random folk. That's almost the same feeling as watching Joel die by the hands of an unknown stranger thats not even related to the first story at all.

    I support LGBT and other gay rights but this is just a cringefest game. The way the emphasize how one of the characters is extremely forced and unncessary. The game is no longer a story but a fan-fiction made by a delusional 14 year old emo girl.

Some things in the story happen that make me think shouldn't have happened given the characters experiences from the first game, like Joel and Ellie. Also Abby just wasn't likeable at all, and I get that she did some horrible things but the game tries to make me sympathize with her and her struggles, kinda like Thanos or such, but she just didn't. And the ending itself left me feeling let down as well. I can say the gameplay feels better overall and improved upon, but when a game's driving force is the story and that doesn't live up to expectations and doesn't drive me emotionally like I was hoping. Overall Gameplay was improved and the clickers definitely look amazing same with the world as well, which I can also praise this game on, even with me playing on a PS4 Slim. But overall this game just let me down and I feel let down and hope the series can correct this and create characters I can love and feel connected too again. Expand
