    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was up there as one of my most anticipated games but has ended up being totally disappointing. Although the graphics are visually stunning, the game itself has been a massive let down due to a number of factors. The biggest factor is simply the awful story, it is riddled with plot holes, ridiculous decision making that is totally unbelievable by the characters and returning characters personalities being butchered to the point where they are almost polar opposites to how the were in the previous game. The game has no one that you can root for, everything has been made to be utterly bleak and seems pointless which when partnered with the long l of the game left me bored and uninterested, without the motivation to carry on. The gameplay also lacked many significant improvements from the first game too. Jumping and crawling were pushed as the new game changing mechanics that would completely change how the game would play and how you would interact with the world yet to found myself rarely ever using them. The enemies AI was also terrible, half the time you could walk straight past them and skip portions of the game as they would not react if you were right in front of them. This made it seem pointless wasting time with fights which left me even more bored with the game, as I had no incentive to keep trying to find new ways to tackle situations to get the enemies, when I could simply run past them and leave the area without spending too much time. Most disappointing of all was the first being, spending the entire game selling revenge to have your easiest opportunity thrown away to try give off the reasoning of revenge being bad was like a slap in the face. Wasting all that time to get there for nothing, although Abby gets away having successfully gotten away with killing Joel and succeeding with her revenge arc. It links in to the character choices being totally ridiculous as well, Joel was a shoot first kind of person who always assumed others were out to get him so seeing a brief flashback of him playing a guitar would not sway Ellie as she knew what he was like. The game although nice to look at, was horrible to play and will go down as one of my biggest gaming disappointments Expand

They've ruined all of those loveable characters from the first game and force us to play the role of a sadistic trans for 10 **** hours. Hope they don't make a third one. I lost all those love for this game. Man the first one was such a great game but this sucks. Expand

    This game couldn't be more disappointing. Who thought that what happens to Joel is a good idea? Those of us who love the first game do not want the protagonists to be treated like trash.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game has a terrible story. it ruined the franchise. the characters don't act like themselves only for the sake of the poorly written plot. it's a horrible disappointment compared to the first game, which was probably one of the best games i've ever played in my life. the gameplay is fine, i just personally don't like the dodging mechanism. other than that the exploring is pretty fun, i'll give it that.
    the graphics are beautiful too, very nice attention to detail.
    the only problem is the story. (spoiler alert)
    the way they kill off Joel is just horrible. Joel would never trust a group of strangers. for example, in the first game, while he's driving in Pittsburgh with Ellie and spots a man screaming for help, claiming he is hurt. Joel obviously didn't trust him and attempted to hit him with the car. but in the new game, he decides to trust Abby without a doubt. this isn't what Joel would've really done. Ellie doesn't actually feel like herself too in this game. she seems more sad and she's a little rude. she's also unmotivated unlike in the first game, she did whatever she could to make it to the Fireflies. but of course, this is for the plot i assume.
    The Last of Us was the story of Joel and Ellie bonding. now Part II is just a crappy revenge story and they decide to kill off the main character. what a disappointment.

    Good visuals, my favourite thing about the entire game was the melee animations. Worst storyline I have ever seen, also it's clear throughout the game that the developers were just trying to force an LGBTQ+/SJW agenda and it made it a lot worse because of that.

    Killing a lead character in early start of the game in a way that is so cold and unneeded. You could just make his death a little more important than that, giving all the things he have been through.

    The most terrible and... no words to describe it
    Is making a character like ABBY even her name is obnoxious!!! Body builder figure for a female character, for what reason? And to make her the killer of a main character added oil to the fire.

    I truly hoped for a great follow up to the first and went into it with an open mind only to walk away asking...really? That was it? The graphics were good but not all that. The story had more plot holes and disconnects than POE’s servers. The controls were meh. And as is the case with most games today, it was short.

    Sure, they kind of warned everybody that it was going to be different, but any truly honest critic could tell they were either desperately reaching just to get a title released, or this was nothing more than a weak excuse to justify mindless killing rather than a carefully thought out game with a worth while plot. In a nutshell it is kill. Kill some more. And maybe collect a little loot along the way. I can think of much better, more worthwhile violent kill and loot fest games and they’re free!

    Gave it a 3 just for the gameplay. The reason TLOU part one is among the best video games ever made was the connection and attachment towards the characters, the emotional journey that leads to the enjoyment and bittersweet ending of it. While in Part two.. well, I don't even know what to say. Damn you naughty dog, and damn you Neil.

I do not understand how a company could spend millions of dollars and 7 years and not once actually stop to think about the game. This will have no spoilers so others can see, Do not buy this if you enjoyed the first game it will only do you harm, leave the story where it was left off and make your own in your head. The cannon story is atrocious, horribly written, and asinine in its views towards its players. It single highhandedly made itself the most hated game in the century thus far. Please continue to boycott and give this the rating it deserves. I will not be purchasing this game as I have researched just about every aspect of the game and already know everything about it, which is quite pathetic to its degree since most of the game was already leaked. This company took a beloved franchise and took a heaping **** in its mouth for no parent reason. Please understand this has nothing to do with characters sexuality or anything of the sort. Only to do with the lack of story writing skill, and pathetic display of a ' content ending' that is all a lie. I have never been more disappointed in a game, company, and franchise in my life and i hope it is never topped. The only thing i wish to come out of this is for the company to learn to respect their employees (research the controversies about the contractors of Naughty Dog) respect their fans, and their release date * less emphasis on the last one* What i personally hope for is the company to get a huge backlash and be punished for their blunder as to not have it happen again. Perfect example of a few single celled organisms getting enough pull to design a beautifully awful game. I will not waste anymore of your or my time however i wish i could write out 5000 characters to prove my point. Please do not buy this game, Please understand the real reason we say this, Please understand a few of the haters may hate for not morally good reasons, Please understand that this company needs to learn a lesson, Please understand you CAN NOT STOMP ON YOUR PLAYER BASE AND GET AWAY WITH IT Expand

    Basically a trailer with some gameplay sprinkled in. Enough with the cutscenes and let me play! Also, what is it with the PS3 graphics? Definitely not worth $60. The story is also very depressing. I've never played any Last of Us and this was just a bad first experience.

Then there are the countless flashbacks that drag the game on, with pointless quests and an insane POV during a fight. Moments of extreme violence became desensitized earlier than halfway through the game and often seem baseless. The only good aspect was of course the graphics. Some moments I almost enjoyed but they were tainted by the residue of how poorly all the preceding and sequential events played out. Very disappointed with how it turned out; not worth a single penny. Expand

    "Is this really happening right now?" is something I constantly kept thinking...in a bad way. The only reason Joel and Ellie are in this game is to trick you into caring about this completely one note standard revenge plot. A single point for being technically impressive.

    Graphics... That's the only good thing about this. Everything else is either mediocre or down right awful. The game play did not evolve one bit since 2013. It's still a walking simulator that's more a movie than a game, which would be enjoyable if it had a good story but God damn is it bad. The story simply broke my heart and not in the good way. It's like a spit in the face of the entire fan base. It's like the worst fan fiction you could possibly find. Seriously? This is what you came up after 7 years? Did Twitter write this game? It's full of plot holes and the characters you fell in love with in the first game are completely ruined and you are forced to play with the character that ruined them. I don't mind the woke stuff but when so much of it is obviously forced down your throat it feels like the entire game was built around it so if people don't like it you can pull the victim card and say that they are ists and phobes and whatever. And the director to preach so much about sexualising women in games is bad only than to put that Abby scene in the game? I can't unsee that. WTF were you thinking? I'd rather watch 2 girls one cup on repeat while eating. Let me tell you a little secret western game devs. People are playing games for entertainment and they'd rather see pretty things while doing it than ugl.. excuse me FUGLY ones! This is never going to change. How is sexualising men was never an issue? People don't like to be preached to and to be told what to think. In a video game setting, that choice should be always ours.
    Overall, I don't recommend this, especially if you were a fan of the previous one. maybe buy it when it's on a massive sale. Shame

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first and original The Last of Us game was a beautifully built, written, and outstanding game with amazing graphics and I expected no less from Part 2. When I played The Last of Us Part II, the graphics were outstanding and the voice actors certainly did their part on that and delivered that beautifully. However, the rest of the game seemed like something that came out of a 2015 watt pad fan-fiction. As I read from other reviews, if you are a fan of the franchise and liked the first game, do not play this game, if you are just looking for a (story-type) shooter zombie game with killer graphics, then this is the perfect game for you.

But the SJW LGTBQ aspect of the game is perfectly fine. There is no issue there. The story is god awful. After so many years of waiting they bring out a washed out revenge story were Elie, after going on a murderous rampage to avenge Joel, simply decides is not worth it. The gameplay elements are almost basically the same and even thought the graphics are stunning it does not save the player from the disapoinment of the bad writing. Such a shame.

I was so exited for this game and all that just got ruined literally 2 hours in.I bought a ps3 for the sole purpose of playing the first game back in 2013 and it was well worth it.I just genuinely do not understand what the the writers of this game where thinking when they wrote this new story.In terms of the technical side this game is a 10/10,But the story is just filled with so many plot holes and unlikeable characters I had absolutely no motivation to finish the game but I made myself in case it atleast had a half decent ending but nope that’s just the cherry on top of this horrible mess of a story.If your a fan of the first Game pick it up when it goes on sale if you want to experience it for yourself but most people payed $60 dollars just to be disappointed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is just amazing. The story, the gameplay, the graphics, are all top notch. Everyone gripes about Joel, but it really had to happen. Without a reason to leave Jackson, there is no story for Ellie. Nothing short of what happened to Joel is would have made Ellie leave Jackson. I'm not surprised people are being idiots about judging the story and some of the choices the devs made. People can't handle true tragedy and difficult experiences happening in their video games. They want fun, action, happy endings, etc. I'm sorry, but in this post apocalyptic world, this stuff is going to happen. I commend... I absolutely ADORE... Naughty Dog for not holding anything back with these subjects. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resumão do Lacre of Us 2:

    Parte 1

    - Abby, filha de um dos "vagalumes" mortos pelo Joel no jogo 1 é introduzida como uma das protagonistas do game.
    - Ellie descobre o que Joel fez para salvá-la e fica com raiva dele.
    - Uma garota chamada Dina, ex-namorada de um oriental chamado Jesse, se apaixona por Ellie e beija ela na frente do vilarejo inteiro.
    - Abby aparece e mata Joel igual à um porco usando um taco de golfe. Joel morre de forma humilhante, tendo sua cabeça arrebentada igual à uma melância podre, bem na frente de Ellie que chegou ao local para tentar salvá-lo.
    - Ellie então parte em busca de vingança e mata vários dos comparsas da Abby. Mas quando encontra ela, toma um pau junto com sua namorada. Jesse, ex da Dina morre, e Tommy (irmão do Joel) toma um tiro na cara, mas sobrevive.

    Parte 2

    - O Game para e agora mostra Abby, a mulher maromba como protagonista. Você descobre sobre tudo que ela viveu até ali, que era apaixonada por um cara que era casado com outra, que ela e seus amigos eram desertores do grupo WLF.
    - Abby é capturada pelos Seraphites (um grupo religioso extremista preconceituoso), mas foge de lá com duas minas japas, sendo que uma delas, pensa que é homem (é trans).
    - Abby então descobre que Ellie estava matando seus amigos e parte em busca dela, acha a Ellie e aí mata o Jesse, atira no Tommy e dá um pau na Ellie e na Dina (igual eu disse antes ali em cima). Mas não mata elas, pois a oriental trans lá, pede pra ela não fazer isso.
    - Depois disso, Abby recebe um convite para se mudar para uma nova base dos Vagalumes, mas ela e seu(sua) amigo(a) oriental são capturadas por um grupo de caras que caçam pessoas e fazem elas de escravos.

    Parte 3

    - O jogo então corta e mostra Ellie e Dina vivendo numa fazendo e criando o filho que Dina teve com Jesse, como uma espécie de broken back mountain feminino. - Ellie ainda está perturbada e com vontade de matar a Abby.
    - Depois de uma visita de Tommy, Ellie resolve ir de atrás de sua vingança. Dina diz que se Ellie for, ela terminará com ela e não estará mais ali quando Ellie voltar.
    - Ellie vai mesmo assim, invade o acampamento dos "escravizadores", mata mais uma pá de gente até que acha Abby, que agora tava toda judiada, magra e sem músculos.
    - Ellie ajuda os escravos a escapar, mas desafia Abby para uma luta, ameaçando matar o(a) amigo(a) oriental da Abby.
    - Abby aceita e as duas saem no soco. Dessa vez Ellie vence e começa a afogar Abby no mar, porém, Abby arranca dois dedos de Ellie com uma mordida. Ellie não desiste e continua inforcando ela, até que, do nada lembra do Joel, e libera Abby, perdoando-a e deixando-a fugir com seu(sua) amigo(a).
    - Ellie volta pra sua fazenda, mas Dina não está lá. Ellie então tenta tocar o violão que Joel lhe deu e não consegue, porque ficou sem dois dedos.

    Graphics are the only stellar part about this game. Visually it's fantastic, obviously.

    The story. Jesus Christ the story... To put it nicely it ruins the first game, just takes a huge poop on it and makes it irrelevant essentially. Rife with boring and unlikable characters. A dumb "woke" plot trying to force the message down your throat that murder is... Bad I guess? That revenge doesn't get you anywhere? An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind? You know, basic platitudes that you learn in kindergarten. Basically it throws the characters and the reasons you loved the first game in the garbage, all in the name of some social agenda. It's moronic and pandering. The only reason Naughty Dog games are great is because their characters and story, and they *really* dropped the ball here, to an *EMBARRASSING* extent. 7 years of work on this game for nothing, 7 years of hype and waiting for nothing. Save yourself the $60, there are a lot of games coming out this year that will 100% be worth the money.

    It's not that the gameplay is awful even though it's decently clunky for a game released in 2020. Overall the gameplay is actually pretty good. Also, the graphics are absolutely stunning and clearly there were top tier artists working on the project. The music is also wonderful at times... albeit a bit underwhelming overall and there's definitely room for improvement.

    But graphics, decent gameplay, and nice music alone can't justify a score of between 95-100 for a game that is driven almost wholly by its story, which makes me question the veracity of the score given to this game by "professional critics."

    As a game developer who specializes in story writing... let me just say that TLOU2 is an insult to video game writers and story games in general. The story of The Last Of Us Part 2 is centered around both tragedy and revenge... with very little else to justify the direction or make it feel like a worthwhile journey.

    Without spoiling anything, I'll just say that beloved characters should not experience such a gruesome fate unless there's a valid reason or justification... otherwise "shock factor" veers into "edge factor" and becomes a meaningless trope. This is a shocking contrast to TLOU Part 1, when the characters were multifaceted, nuanced, and driven by a deep sense of purpose.

    One can only wonder if the writers of this game grew to resent their very own characters... as they all seem to have grown short sighted, one dimensional, and soulless. This leads to a boring, depressing journey filled with an overtly dark narrative, bad thrills, and using "shock factor" as a cheap replacement for deep story. Sure, play The Last Of Us 2... if you want to be depressed... or if perhaps you don't care about story in a story-driven game and you're just in it for the gameplay. As I said, overall it's not a bad game... but it's a very bad story, and considering this is a *story game,* I can't justify a rating higher than 2 / 10.

The graphics are amazing they’re realistic and everything about the game is visually stunning. The mechanics are an improvement from the first game but tries to stay loyal with the previous mechanic system used in the first game. There’s no problems with the gameplay. My problems with this game is how terribly written it is. Keep in mind I don’t care if there’s LGBT people in this game. The problem is the characters make decisions that are just completely out of character in the perspective of the audience, it just doesn’t sense to us. After surpassing the part where an important character meets his end, I was confused. I didn’t have a problem with him dying but I had a problem with how he died. It seems like he didn’t matter and his death served no real purpose to the game. I still don’t understand the overall theme, I heard it’s about letting go of revenge. That doesn’t make sense.... It’s a weak plot. In a world overrun by a deadly virus and tribalism, revenge is more of a motivation than a burden. If anything if revenge was something I wanted...The ending is incredibly underwhelming and makes me feel the hours I spent on it wasn’t worth it. I don’t care if a game has amazing graphics and great mechanics. If the story is terribly written then it’s not worth playing. This game isn’t even playable the first time, I had to force myself. You can’t play this game more than once. I will be returning my copy right now actually. This is the last time I buy a Naughty Dog game. As a huge fan of the Last Of Us part 1, I bought the game on ps3 and ps4. Played them multiple times and played the online portion. Although, the game was always great because of its good story telling. Waiting 7 years and I’m dissatisfied and disappointed. Who is making these decisions? Don’t they have writers at Naughty Dog? If they had 7 years, that was more than enough time to polish a game, there’s no excuse. Whoever is in charge of this game needs to be held responsible and Naughty Dog need to own up to their mistakes rather than attacking their customers and disrespecting them for not liking their low quality product. In my eyes, the Last of Us ended with the first game, the second never happened.... Expand
