Game is absolute trash , kill the main character from the first game at the start by making him look stupid , doesn't even give Ellie or Joel a single moment , trailer makes it look like you're gonna be playing with Joel but in reality you just don't even play as him at all.all they did was kill all the males and take a **** on ellie for absolutely no reason. game is a joke and litterally all you do on the first game ends up being for nothing because joel dies and ellie ends up alone anyway. 7 years , not worth the time , money or waiting 7 years for such garbage Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I know I need to use Abby to fight Ellie, I just can't play it anymore, but I spoiled myself.

    Some people think it's a good story and I think they haven't played the first game yet. Without the context from the first game, it's a dumb story that you may ignore. Such as both characters kill bunch of people but somehow at the end "oh, I don't wanna kill you". Come on, they kill a hundred already now you saying putting down the revenge? Is there going to be a new character who's jesse's secret brother in The Last of Us 3 and let's say wanna get revenge? You know, the Asian guy Abby killed so she can beat up and forgave Ellie or Ellie doesn't like him because of his race. Ironically, What did Neil say on Twitter again?

    The purpose of the game maybe is trying to tell people that revenge is bad, is a dead cycle that will bring down your life, but it doesn't make any sense. Will you kill a hundred people just to kick your foe's ass? I surely no.

    Joel's death is another nonsense. He killed so many people but doesn't care about someone come for him and say his and his brother's real name to a bunch of strangers, who have guns and apparently more number then them, in the middle of a tiny room. How careful he is in the apocalypse world.

    And you will find more in the game, good luck have fun, I don't wanna type them all out

    It is a really bad, disgusting, dark storyline. I have been waiting for this game for 6 years already, and just waiting for this kind of plot? I can not accept it. I strongly suggest Naughty dog to change the story plot like selective storyline. People can choose whatever they like, and I believe that most of big fans in this game tend to a happy ending~~~~~~~~~~

    Too rude, doctrinaire, and coercive.
    All the choices of the characters are confusing and hard to understand.
    The developer and director were irresponsible, and contrary to their intentions, they were not immersed at all. The PC was too outspoken. Even I felt repulsed because I had no discriminatory thoughts about PCs. It was an attitude to teach with a sense of moral superiority,

    The PC was too outspoken.
    Even I felt repulsed because I had no discriminatory thoughts about PCs.
    It was an attitude to teach with a sense of moral superiority, but it was not that high, and it felt like I was forced to continue eating uncomfortable food.

    Basically, the last of us Part 2's sense of subject or story is not very unconventional. Rather, it's more like a cliche.
    What was the reason for showing an obvious story through unpleasant plots and directing?
    I have no idea what the benefits of him are.
    Regardless of the unpleasantness of the PC or story, the composition itself seems to have dropped.

    I think Star Wars : the last Jedi and the sequel to the masterpiece can be a challenging choice. It would have been a more destructive story if it had done well because the return was a bold but big approach.
    But it failed miserably in an unconvincing way.
    Shouldn't we focus first on showing the game to the public as a culture and art and enjoying it? It is too irresponsible to draw only the pictures they want.

    Is there anyone who made this fun?
    Especially for people like me who have deep memories of their previous work...
    To be honest, it was more like a last of Earth sequel.
    It was a series of inconveniences while playing games.

    I advise you not to do it for your mental health.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is horrible! Such a waste of time I can deal with Joel’s death it gives a motive to Ellie’s actions. Ellis sexuality was fine to each there own I’m glad the devs took a bold action but the games ending was just bad Abby was a horrible character with no redemption. So many other games have done the “ killing you won’t change anything” trope much better also if the message is revenge is not good then don’t make me play a character like Abby who constantly talks about other survivors as savages who deserve what they get. This game would’ve been better if Abby had just joined her friends. Overall a waste of time due to an ending unable to match its predecessor and its gameplay. Expand

    Everything is unmitigatedly gore-y and grim-dark, and unrelentingly miserable and awful- Bright spots only exist to highlight the misery to follow/precede them. There is nothing good about the story of this game. Everyone loses, always, but mostly the player who is forced into the role of absolutely insane people. These protagonists constantly ruin everything for everyone and themselves. I wish this was an exaggeration. There is no hope to be found anywhere. The notion that something can only be "artistically mature" if it's unending constant misery, has plagued the entertainment industry for half a decade now, and i very much hope this was the culmination.
    Some people have said that the game at the very least can not be a total 0 rating, because of it's great accessibility, sound and environment design, and mostly workable gameplay.
    This however is a very linear, very "cInEmAtiC" game, so all these things exclusively serve to support the story. And no matter how great the accessibility, physics, texture, smell and haptic feedback simulation of a program is, if the program exclusively simulates excrement, it is still trash.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The biggest disappointment in my gaming history. I played through the first game at least 20 times, just to have it all mean absolutely nothing with this pathetic sequel. -Joel And Tommy would’ve NEVER walked into a room with that many strangers, they survived 25 years in the apocalypse. Joel spotted an ambush in the first game simply by the way the guy was screaming ‘help.’ -The game tried so hard to make Ellie unlikeable. She is the polar opposite of the Ellie we knew and loved. No charisma, they made her out to be a monster. While glorifying Abby. -Speaking of Abby, WE DON’T GIVE A **** ABOUT ABBY. You introduced her and tried to get us to care about her past. You tried to cram it all into one game, and tried to make her out to be the hero. We bought the game for Ellie and Joel, not for a piece of **** character that came out of nowhere. ‘The daughter of the guy Joel killed’ give me a break. Joel killed hundred of people and not one of their family came after him. It’s the apocalypse. Such lazy writing. “Oh let’s take one of the NPC’s Joel killed and humanize them, make them relevant somehow and BOOM! We have our antagonist.”

    -The trailers deliberately deceived us. -A Pregnant woman can barely move without being uncomfortable. She sure as hell can’t kill clickers, run, jump over obstacles, lift heavy objects, etc. Just the ‘Female Power’ propaganda being shoved down our throats.

    -FEMALE POWER. We love females, we’re not savages. But the whole ‘anti-male’ narrative that I felt the entire game is so exhausting. ‘This is way better than anime’ is a line from one of the male characters, as the females roll their eyes, implying that he’s an anti social idiot who hasn’t experienced nearly as much as these ‘heroic females.’ -A FEMALE CANT BE AS BUFF AS ABBY NATURALLY, WITHOUT STEROIDS. She looks like a She-Hulk. -A lesbian relationship, smoking weed, and a trans character being used as a ‘woke token’ for brownie points with the media is a terrible thing to glorify. We don’t care about that stuff. We just wanted to see Ellie’s relationship with Joel grow and flourish. -NO SATISFACTION. Ellie murdered hundreds of people throughout the game, just to have the ‘revenge is bad’ realization at the end. Didn’t even kill Abby. AS IF THAT WASN’T ENOUGH:
    The biggest sin against The Last of Us fanbase is not even preparing us that we would be spending 10 HOURS, HALFWAY THROUGH THE GAME, PLAYING AS A CHARACTER YOU WERE JUST INTRODUCED TO, WHO JUST MURDERED YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER. Didn’t even mention it at all. Oh, and not only that, but that part of the story starts at the most climatic part of this pathetic story. So you’re left wanting to speed run Abby’s storyline, just to get back and see what happens. Oh! Your skill tree and weapon upgrades that you put so much effort and time into? Bye-bye. Completely resets. All weapon upgrades, and skills, are reset. I talked about how amazing The Last of Us was for so many years, telling my friends that it’s the greatest game I’ve ever played. I’ll continue to play it, but I’ll spend the future telling them that part two is genuinely the worst game I’ve ever played. Positives? The graphics and gameplay are top notch. If only they used those mechanics to give us the story we deserved, instead of desecrating it’s existence.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLDR: Gameplay is fun, it's the last of us but better, story is hot garbage, nihilistic, full of cliches and "how convenient" moments. 4/10, gave it a 0 because of the positive review bombing it's getting. Game is not a 10, but that's all of the positive reviews. if you want a longer more thought out explanation of my thoughts, watch upper echelon gamings review on this, matches me pretty well, can't link apparently.

    For hardcore fans of the first game, do yourself a favor and give this a pass. I played through the first "the last of us" 4 or 5 times over the years and have no intention of going back to this one. I'll make a list of pros and cons but in short, gameplay is fun as ever, expanded stealth mechanics and melee made the game much more engaging and fun. That being said, the plot was some of the most contrived cliche horse dung I've had the displeasure of playing, and that's saying something considering the first game had it's fair share of unbelievable moments. And this isn't me griping about X or Y character died, or didn't die etc, I actually wound up liking the ending more than I thought I was going to half way through the game, but the story was just tiring by the end of it, and i just wanted it to be over. Literally I took a two day break from playing and forced myself to finish it, just so I got to experience how it ended rather than read it. They GoT season 8'd this one.

    Pros:
    Stealth is much more engaging, being able to go prone and hide in grass, crawl under obstacles was a welcome change.

    Some added mechanics made gun fights and running from enemies more entertaining like squeezing through cracks in the walls. (though some seem like they could have just been cut. The removing the arrow thing they showed off in trailers? I actually had to do this a whopping 3 times the whole game) Some weapons get new ammo types, you can make a suppressor for your pistol etc.

    The game is gorgeous as expected, creeping through dark infested areas were as tense as ever, and getting a good view of an area is awesome.

    Added some new enemies, good and bad, stealth infected, heavy melee wielding humans, and they all feel mostly organic ( i like that they call out a name if someone dies or they find a body, but how many Amir's and Skylar's can there really be?)

    Cons:
    (first off spoilers) Story is the big one here. Characters do things that just do not make sense, even for naughty dog touting that they want to make characters act like people and not characters( maybe it wasn't naughty dog that said this but still) People just happen to be the perfect place, some fights make no sense at all, when abby has to fight ellie, the fact she doesn't get obliterated by the girl who still has all her weapons on her, and is known for traps and stealth is astounding. Truly. Tommy is shot in the head but alive?? Looks like they were going for "oh it went out his eye" Yeah and Jesse got blasted in the eye and he's toasted. Nonsense.

    End Spoilers

    Enemies: while some of the new ones are refreshing, some of them just get tiring, the big heavy melee guys I mentioned, should not be able to take multiple shots to the chest from a hunting rifle, just because they're big. You've got a punctured lung, shot in the gut, a bullet lodged in your sternum, plus a few more holes that missed vitals, but that's still a lot of blood. You're not infected, so you're not superman, just go down my man.

    Marketing, which I can only describe as deceitful, I'll try to avoid spoilers, and this kind of ties back to the story. A big character is dead, early on, but they released trailers, one in particular where they are clearly alive, and with ellie after she sets off. But, when you get to that moment, they just swapped them for a different character. I get trying to avoid reveals in trailers, but that's nothing but trying to deceive and build hype for the game. Additionally, I had no idea there would be a character swap in this game, never had I seen any indication of this. And besides that, it's like they went out of their way to make this other character dislikable, but still force you to see their part implying "see? They have struggles too, they have people they love too, they're the same!" Or some **** and to that I say F**k off. The first scenes of the game make it clear how that character will behave, and we're supposed to feel sorry for them or something? Give me a break. This isn't game of thrones, and even if it was, did anyone feel sorry for Cersei?

    Flashbacks: Oh my lord, not much to say here other than please, for the love of god, stop with the flashbacks. I would have enjoyed this game a lot more, if they had just told the story in order. And that would have reframed a lot of the conflict of the game rather than just be told later "oh see this? They were a kid too!" No **** naughty dog.

    In short. Their themes all fall flat due to weak manipulation attempts and plot contrivances.

While there were a few genuinely good moments, majority of game filled up with plot holes. It just took elements of what worked for the first game without understanding what made them compelling.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.

    + Great graphics overall, perfect shadows/light effects, detailed textures and beautiful landscapes.
    + Very natural animations, and perfect facial expressions in both cutscenes, and during gameplay (for example during steaths kills).
    - Experience some minor pop up issues [-1pts].

    Sound - 10/10
    + Perfect sound design, very detailed sound effects (for example, it's possible to crack the safes by listening to the clicks, no need to find the code)
    + Great music, perfect fit.
    + Awesome voice acting.

    Gameplay - 6/10
    + Very responsive controls, great shooting, weapon sway feels very natural.
    + Encounters are challenging, especially when engaged in open combat.
    - Stealth, however, is serviceable; throw distractions, stealth kills and silenced weapons, there is just one possible way to stealth kill, no option to do a stealth kill from above for example. [-1pts]
    - IA don't react to sound, except for bottles/bricks, running or shooting. You can drop from a ledge or into the water right behind enemies and they don't react. [-1pts]
    - IA don't react to your flashlight. [-1pts]
    - All the issues above combined makes extremely easy to exploit the IA, for example, throwing a bottle, then a molotov, is a very effective tactic for most of the game [-1pts]

    Level design - 10/10
    + Maps are perfectly designed, feels much bigger than really is, provides many different ways to approach the encounters, with very organic interactive points (ledges, vaults, hiding spots, etc).
    + Interesting puzzles, nothing complex, but also not too easy.
    + Different enemy types keeps things varied and interesting for the whole game.

    - This one major flaw in my opinion, Abby storyline is very little internwined with Ellie storyline, only happens at the very end, felt like a huge missopportunity. The whole time, while playing Abby section, I kept thinkins "When this is gonna end and go back to the main plot?" [-3pts]
    - Also Tommy, I think he should have played a bigger role during Abby storyline, she should be the one leading the defense against Tommy's attack. Instead we get what feels like a "side quest" with Liv/Yara [-2pts]
    - Some huge plot holes, how did Amy get to the Aquarium? After you banged Owen, you leave to help Liv and Yara, then come back and suddenly Amy is there. The area was supposed to be crawling with Scars, you even got captured trying to reach the Aquarium yourself (only to be saved by Liv and Yara). How a pregnant woman got there without any trouble, and aparently faster than Abby? How Tommy survived a headshot? How did he get back to Jackson? [-1pts]
    - The flashbacks should be the game storyline as they are way more interesting than the main storyline. [-1pts]

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disappointment, lies, manipulation, gross, disturbing, sad, revenge, bad, mean, heartless... these are all words i have used and keep using when thinking/talking about this game.

    Lying to the fans making them not only think JOEL is part of this game in a big way but LYING and Niel D actually saying ELLIE was the only PLAYABLE character in a interview, lie lie lie

    BUT non of that is this game its the lies about a game that doesnt exist, in this game you spend hours playing horrible manchick (no not trans just a woman with HUGE arms, manly body and face) and you have to play 10+ hours of her AFTER she violently kills JOEL, you spend most the game doing things like this, Horrible story telling and decisions forcing gameplay that is just cringe, constant gut punch after gut punch, non stop violence in the worst way with NO REDEMTION for any of these awful character, and forget your favs , Joel gets killed right away Ellie is totally different and is a sad sad mess.

    For an interactive movie i rate it like a movie and this is a "F-" in every way that matters (no the excellent graphics don't factor into a interactive movie "press square" is not game play its quicktime events, and graphics don't tell a story, bad good great doesn't effect the story line just like a pretty movie that is miserable to watch ex- A.I. artificial intelligence, all Jurrasic parks after the original,all reboot movies that claim to be sequals.... )

    Sony and Naughty dog, especially Neil druckmann should be ashamed for using bots to increase the ratings. This is a complete joke of a game. The violence and the story delivers a very clique message that 'revenge solves nothing' at the expense of Ellie's character and the joy of the gamers. This is an insult to the first game and clearly these guys have no idea why we liked the first game.

    The plot is full of political correctness and racial discrimination. The plot should be the highlight of the work. But the screenwriter apparently deliberately mixed many opinions that were not accepted by everyone. This work is downright trash.

The first part of the game is good, despite the poor treatment of joel's death, there are still good game mechanics and game play, good immersion to Ellie's road to revenge. The problem started at the second part of the game, needing the player to control the person that we hate and want us to feel sympathy for Abby. This just don't work as we are already filled with hatred for this character and playing as her is a torture for 10 hrs. We are at a point that we already don't care about her story and just want to get our revenge on her. And what surprise me the most is that, instead if getting the revenge we should be gettin, we get nothing at the end of the game and Ellie still lose everything. This game makes you feel very bad after finishing it and it should be scraped and remake. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Might have been an at least ok game if it wasn't a Last of Us title.
    The story sacrifices established and loved characters in the most pathetic ways to introduce new characters that are mediocre at best and absolutely terrible at worst. They also expect you to connect to the Killer of Joel, which is something that is set up to fail if you had any love for the first game and got invested in the story. To add to that, established characters just act out of order, very little apart from the shell remains of them.
    I will give the game this, it looks and sounds beautiful, has a dense atmosphere and is acted out really well (allthough not as good as the first part though), which is pretty much the only reason I played through it.
    Another big problem is how the story is told, it's basically Inception with Flashbacks into Flashbacks into Flashbacks which gets pretty ridiculous fast. Also the fact that they introduced the Abby gameplay part AFTER she killed Joel is absolutely mimd bending, personally I just couldn't connect after the fact that she brutally butchered one of my favorite characters ever to be created in all of media, like he was a cheap NPC.
    Apart from that Part 2 is a massive letdown to the core fanbase of Part 1, while it may please newcomers, passerbys and obviously mainstream media, for some arbatrary reasons.
    Honestly I never felt the need to hate on a game on social media, but this was the breaking point for me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If LoU part 1 is about hope, survival and tough love, part 2 is about the revenge killings enacted between two protagonists. While there is a sense of redemption throughout part 1, part 2 is about damnation. It essentially begins with Abby who decided to exact justice on Joel for the death of her father. To settle the score, Ellie decided to hunt Abby down. Thus a cycle of violence of death - Ellie kills Abby's friends, Abby kills Ellie's friends and so on. The moral dilemma is about when the two protagonist finally decides to let go. In the theatre fight, Abby becomes her better self after she was persuaded by Lev not to kill Ellie. At the Rattler's beach, Ellie was persuaded in her subconscious by Joel not to kill Abby.

    The story largely reflects upon the social dimension of indulging in hatred and the consequences that it engenders. In this regard, the game succeeded beyond expectations because the circumstances were so bleak and desperate that many players actually hated the game. The ending was very poignant and heartbreaking with Ellie losing everything because she failed to let go of her vendetta. We essentially loses the two leads that we have grown to love and care so much.

    The premise of the Part 2 storyline seemed improbable because in a world that is so vicious and inured to death, it is not likely that the characters esp. Ellie would have taken on the type of risks and vendetta that they did. The battles are really repetitive and in terms of character development, none of the factions (Jackson, Seraphite, WLF), or even the new infected feel refreshing or inspired.

    The storyline seemed to be born out of desperation to cling onto the franchise. As there is actually so much material to explore in the LoU world, it would have been better to focus on entirely new characters and different backgrounds.

    Why we are playing as that character because they want us to play as her because she is very muscular and strong woman helping trans person.
    Not only that is enough they have to kill (in a brutal undeserved way)the beloved main male character. More so male characters are killed or crippled. I legit didn't notice that at first.

    One, a group of people who are wise enough to rise above the written-in blatant emotional manipulation and doesn't fall for cheap emotional tricks, and therefore cannot connect to the story whatsoever and ends up hating it. Which is absolutely **** disastrous to the script, the script completely blows up and fails hard if you don't empathize or give two **** about abs, which the game tries very hard to get you to do in obnoxious ways. Lots of blatant guilt tripping which is eye-rollingly opaque.

    Two, people who DO fall for the cheap emotional tricks as the director intended, and the script actually DOES work as intended so they think the game is deep and has the impact on them that was intended.

    If I didn't feel like this game was constantly insulting my emotional intelligence with a combination of lazy and/or bad writing and ham-fisted manipulation, I'd give it a solid 7/10.

    It would have been game of the year for sure. But this game proves that a bad story can destroy a game no matter how good graphics it has. I feel like I've wasted hours of my life for nothing, i couldn't even bond with some characters cause the game already told me they where dead before i got to bond with them. Keep your money fellas better donate them to a charity.

    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]
