    The game doesn’t know what it wants to be. A real depiction of humans and the evil we can do. Or a soft story about forgiveness. I wouldn’t mind the latter if they didn’t make me kill everyone I met and made me actually like the characters. Instead the game wants to be both while failing at both.

That's like saying you don't know, maybe you'll like getting raped, and paying at least $60 for it. Tommy could have been the one that died while Joel and Ellie set out for revenge with Joel dying a hero in arthur morgan style. But no, instead we get a buffed up chick to appeal to trans folks killing joel in the first two hours of the game, we play half the game as abby, and when we finally think we'll get retribution and kill abby...meh...we decide to let her go.

    Poor writing and plot holes here and there.

    Absolutely disrespected the foundation that was set up by the first game. The first did not need a sequel. I swear in the future imma fix this game by making "The Last of Us Part 3," and making it so that The Last of Us Part 2 was all a dream Ellie was having when she was unconscious in the hospital.

    I got about 10 to 12 hours into the unending, crushing depression that is the campaign before giving up, realizing I was just making myself miserable. The first game had humor, uplifting moments - and a real sense of HOPE throughout the storyline. None of that in this sequel - it honestly seems like this is the first draft of some very poor fan-fiction realized with a multi-million dollar budget. Written by someone with nothing but clear contempt for the original's characters - and more importantly, the audience.
    While it looks amazing, it's just scenery. The actual game itself is largely IDENTICAL to the previous one - and that's a problem, considering the first was 7 years ago at the start of the PS3 generation. We find ourselves at the very end of the PS4 generation (this game is very much a swansong for the console) yet the game plays so similarly, it would be impossible to tell which game you were playing were it not for the poorly implimented jump button.
    All the production values in the world mean nothing if it's in service of a bad story, and this one's a doozy. I can largely guarantee you will actively hate the storyline within 2 hours, yet you'll be expected to hang around for a further 20 in the shoes of a new 'character' who will happen to be the heart of why you hate the story. Ridiculous decision making from Naughty Dog, and proof positive that any previously beloved developer can absolutely **** the bed and start turning out absolute trashfires of games.    … Expand

    The fact the ending isn't clearly the worst part of the game just goes to show how many truly terrible things there are about the game. The protagonist of the first game killed while acting wildly out of character? Check. Being forced to play half the game as an entirely new character that has absolutely zero likable qualities? Check. Ugh.

    Then at the end when you're finally about to kill that new character mentioned above a flashback to Joel saves her? How about, **** her, she killed Ellie's dad kill her. Not to mention bit off her fingers only seconds before. So infuriating. I would have given it another point or two if Ellie had finished her off in the end, it would still be a gross and annoying story but at least it would end on an up note.

    Now I know, the thing to do is say "Anyone who doesn't like the game must hate women." Really? Ellie doesn't count? How stupid is that logic.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No offense Naughty Dog but I hated The Last of Us 2. And not just because of Joel’s death. If you’re anything like me and you loved the developing relationship between Ellie and Joel in the first game, you would be sorely disappointed with this game. It’s only redeeming qualities are the graphics (which I will give them credit for, they are outstanding), gameplay (a little outdated but still okay), and the soundtrack. Sadly it ends there. The main reason people play this game is for the STORYLINE, and a decent one was not even remotely present in this game. Why spend years and years crafting this beautiful father-daughter like relationship between Joel and Ellie just to have it destroyed in the second game? Killing off Joel so soon in the game was a horrible move, and a big blow to those of us who love Joel (which I’m sure most of us do). To make matters worse the Ellie-Joel flashbacks, in my opinion the only good part of the story, appear AFTER his death which leaves such a bittersweet and melancholy feeling knowing he’s going to die a cruel death eventually, by Abby no less, a character we are forced to play before she dies and after for a huge chunk of the game (and I don’t even like her!!! AT ALL). If he had to die it should’ve been later in the game when they’ve established a real storyline because it happened too suddenly. Secondly the game is just downright depressing. It’s not fun to play whatsoever, because Naughty Dog mislead all of us with that BS advertising of Joel helping Ellie on her quest for revenge. Instead we were greeted with a swift death and the introduction of underdeveloped and bland characters. And guess what? They all end up dying or abandoning Ellie at the end (surprise surprise!) where she is just fingerless, unable to play the guitar (her only connection to Joel) unmotivated, and depressed. Which make us players incredibly depressed too! There was absolutely no reason for this to happen to Ellie. Seriously, we spent all the time killing and killing so violently just to get to Abby then we don’t even get to kill her at the end. It’s like, hello, what was the point of all that then? And it doesn’t help that I feel absolutely no remorse for Abby either. I WANTED her to die. All in all this storyline was a big risk on ND’s part but it did not pay off. I’m sorry but if a game leaves you feeling so enraged and sad it’s not a good game. These critics are out of their minds, they are only reviewing it on a technical level and are clearly not attached to any of the characters or storyline like true TLOU fans. 0/10.… Expand

Ellie saved her humanity by not killing Abby but still lost everything. Her one fear was ending up alone and at the end of the game she is. Not even able to play the guitar, her last connection with Joel. I also never really cared for Abby after the brutal killing of Joel. I still wanted her to pay, even after shifting to her perspective, which I found way too long too. I was never on her side and no amount of storytelling could have changed that for me. Everything else about the game I loved. I don’t think it was bad writing per say, but it was definitely not the outcome I wanted for characters that I have loved for 7 years. Why does Abby get the happy ending when Ellie and Tommy suffer? I just can’t wrap my head around that decision.… Expand

The way the story was delivered in this sequel was absolutely pathetic. You made Joel and Tommy look like dumbasses just for the sake of killing Joel (in an even more pathetic way) and introducing your little character Abby. Absolutely no one cared about her, considering there was also no backstory. Also you shoved us down the throat a 12 hour gameplay of her which made people even more upset. And in the end when Ellie had to kill Abby, she just gives up on the idea because revenge is not it? After all the massacre she went trough just to get to her?

We had to see Joel who was the main character we were all so emotionally invested in get beaten to death in the first 2 hours of the game and then play half of the game with the testosterone boosted Abby who killed him. This game tried way too hard to focus on female empowerment instead of giving the community what we wanted and that was a masterpiece like the first Last of Us game where the story telling was based on a strong , caring Joel and his growing relationship with this girl Ellie who he was meant to smuggle across the country to save the world but instead saves her when he realizes that the fireflies were going to kill her.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have never posted a review on any game I have ever played but The Last of Us Part 2 deserves a review. The first game goes down as one of the best if not the best game I have ever played. Part 2, I wish I never purchased. If it were a free game, I’d probably never play it... I went into the game completely blind and did not look at one spoiler, the only thing I knew about Tlou2 was the trailer that was presented at I believe E3 back in 2018. I feel so lied to about this game. Neil Druckmann on record saying you will NOT be playing as any other character other than Ellie was a flat out lie. The trailers showing different character models in different scenes, is just the beginning. I have zero issue with Joel dying, it’s how they went about his death... if he had died later on, or if had survived and lived a happy life after, it wouldn’t have made me feel the way I did. After playing the first game, I felt a connection to Joel and Ellie, as if I knew them in real life, sounds dumb but it’s how I felt after playing the first game. Then forcing me to play as the person who killed Joel for more than half the game, I personally believe most people probably feel or felt the same way. Neil Druckmann you are a liar and a crook! I also want to state I have no issues with the gender politics that are in the game, if someone is gay or trans,so be it, I get it, it’s 2020, but forcing an agenda is what I have issues with. I can list another 20 things that made absolutely zero sense, but I’ll just list a few. - Joel and Tommy giving their names and location to a random group of strangers and inviting them to their camp to restock... come on... we know that wouldn’t happen... that’s a total cop out and a cheap way to introduce characters and plots into the game. - Adding awkward sex scenes into the game... really no need for that... - If you’re going to add 15 cheap hours of gameplay as Abby, at least go into more details as to why the Wolves were formed, rather than them just wanting revenge, give us more info on Isaac, his death was another cop out... to build this guy up as some mastermind, to then have him die so quickly with no real story on Isaac... - The ending gives you zero satisfaction, where was Tommy? Ellie decided to go search for Abby because of Tommy and you leave him completely out? Come on...

    Again I can go on and on, but I’ll leave it at that!

    This game gets a BIG FAT ZERO!

    ZERO OUT OF TEN!

    Graphics is there, game play is the same as 7 years ago... And this story.... Who would think that cliche revenge with strong women and zero sense to the whole story is the right choice? I'm just glad that i don't have to ever look at this bs story ever again.
    Don't u dare make III part.. Just don't, bury this corpse 6 feet under and leave it. U obviously don't know    what absolute ****

He's feeding **** to all players who got shocked and touched by TLOU1 many years ago. I'm still feeling gross after finished the journey in the game. DAMN!

    Play abby was emotionally draining. Abby was portrayed as a thug looking for revenge. The game took 7 years to be released with two delays. Neil druckmann needs to stop making video games after this. The gameplay was good as well the graphics. But the story was poor. I will give it a negative 8.9

I can presume it will be Ellie getting her revenge most likely. Also, Killing off the main character in a dishonorable way is beyond me. You can see that there are many positives reviews from credible studios giving the game a 10/10 or 95 rating. This is completely alarming and shows the gaming industry’s agenda. This game is clearly not a 10/10. You can spend $60 better somewhere else.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ignore the 10/10 if your an actual fan of the original game. those are either paid media or players who have a lack of taste in good games. i gave this game a 4/10 because the gameplay is the 4. the story is inconsistent and lacks ALOT of emotion concerning characters. The old characters besides ellie get little time and their general character development from the last game is thrown out the window in this game. the new characters are quickly thrown in and you won't actually give a crap about them and if you do then you'll be disappointed when they are killed off in the most unemotional way. infact the characters in the game seem to act like the deaths are nothing besides ellie. but even when joel dies the game just brushes past it very quickly. none of the deaths are justified nor do they have an impact like the first game. i nearly cried when joel's daughter died, but in this one when joel dies, i just hate the abby the **** on steroids. the gameplay is violent and amazing but it seems to drag on in different levels. sometimes the levels feel empty because nothing is going on in the story progression. anyone saying people are mad just because joel dies is a freaking moron. It is one thing if you want to kill a beloved character, it's another when you do it in the most meaningless way. they used his death for "story drive" but there is no other reason and it's not a justified death. if they wanted to kill joel off fine, but make me actually feel something besides immediate hate for a new character and makes me completely disinterested in the games story. it almost felt at times that i was playing 2 different games with 2 different stories. obviously they wanted you to play abby and get to know her but at the beginning you don't give a crap about her and when the game ends, you still won't. graphics are amazing. so maybe 1 point extra should go to the game so maybe a 5/10 is the real score. but my bias toward the destruction of a favorite storyline of mine brings it to a 4/10. you'll love the level design and you'll enjoy the scenery. but the disgusting story flow and design will make you cringe most of the time and hate it the rest. anyone who blindly gives it a 10/10 or 9/10 should be ignored and only hinder good game creation. i don't know about you but i'd rather play a shorter yet better story designed game then settle for a long string of dog crap. but hey those 10/10 and 9/10's love their dog crap, so let them lather in it. won't bother with last of us 3 because they killed off all the old characters mostly and changed who they are and they killed of 95% of the new ones so you don't actually give a crap about the next games because it's just gonna loop back around to the fireflies and i bet ellie dies in that one because "plot development". save yourself 60 bucks and go buy ff7, it's a good game and storyline and won't make you feel like you're watching a tv show from the CW or crappy drama show. or play god of war if you haven't that exclusive is worth every penny and actually knows how to bring real emotion in a game. naughty dog used to know what that was but now they lost their way.… Expand

This was not the Joel and Ellie I’ve come to love and admire, these are other people, who make dumb wreck-less decisions the characters in the first game would never make.

    No better sign a game is awful than wanting the character you're playing with to get killed (I know several players have intentionally killed or let that character to die). Technical aspects could be good or great, but if the story sucks, the game sucks as well.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Abby sucks. As a die hard Naughty Dog fan I am truly disappointed. I have been with them since the first Crash release and have bought every single game along with countless amounts of related merchandise because I’ve always loved their gameplay and their stories. From my childhood games of Crash Bandicoot (the whimsical animations, fun level designs, and addictive EVERYTHING), to the incredible Jak series (which Jak 2 was the first game I ever preordered), to the FAN-freaking-TASTIC Uncharted series, I honestly didn’t think it could get any better. Then The Last of Us came out. At first I was skeptical but it truly blew me away and set the standards for the quality of experience I expect from games I buy. Because of this die hard fandom, and love of Last of Us especially, I was PSYCHED for Last of Us part II.... but wow. How let down I’ve been. To see the legacy of such a beautifully crafted story tarnished by its sequel in attempts to cater/pander to the world of 2020 as well as all the trash characters to focus on/develop like Abby. Truly. I am disappointed. I only want to empathize and humanize the enemy in my games/story to a certain extent. That’s why as the bad guy is dying you humanize them in many stories so there’s both a “awww moment” as well as a “get the bad guy!!!” Moment. But to play half the game OVER humanizing the antagonist now makes me question the hero. Which then makes it hard to identify with Ellie because I’m confused and frustrated with Abby. Also, why does Abby have cannonballs for shoulders and moose thighs for arms? Truly, for a game I was so excited and backing, and avoiding all the spoilers that got leaked, I’m so disappointed. I signed the petition asking Naughty Dog To rewrite the story of the game... we shall see I suppose. This is what happens when too many “free spirits” get hired at Naughty Dog and you try to create a piece of art to sell rather than just be inherently good. Yes this is super subjective, but with a 4.6/10 versus it’s predecessor at a 9.1/10, I’d like to objectively point out I’m not the only who thinks it’s garbage.… 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.
