    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The storyline is a total B.S. I am ok with Abby's line. The finale is exactly the same as death stranding. If you want to appeal fans from part 1 you never want to arrange stories like this. I register an account on Metacritic to write this. I would have bought this game for the gameplay and art assets, but NOTHING ABOUT THE STORY. I would give negative scores if I can. :(((((… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am giving this game a 0 because of the lies told by Naughty Dog. This company manipulated their fan base and lied in order to sell copies of their game. They altered trailers to trick us into thinking we we’re going to be playing alongside Joel throughout the game, making him look younger. I understand that companies sometimes have trailers that are misleading but not outright lie to their fan base about you playing a character that actually dies in the first three hours of the game. Neil Druckmann also lied to us saying that Ellie will be the only playable character when in fact 50% of the game you are playing Abby. We don’t care that you kill off a beloved character, we care HOW you do it. Unfortunately, Neil got too into his head thinking he could do no wrong that he drove his beautiful story into the ground.… Expand

    After Uncharted 4 showed us how boring and badly scripted a video game can be, this hot garbage was no surprise. In The Last Of Us 1, everyone knew that it was the best story ever, with passable gameplay.

Forcing the player to play as that blond ox for half the game was a horrendous decision. We all know that we kill people in games so that there can be a game in the first place, and now ND thinks they're gonna show us that this might not work out in real life??

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains spoilers. The Last of Us 2 is a true testament to how not to make a sequel for a game. While gameplay received better animations and such, it mostly remained the exact same and becomes monotonous and predictable over the 25+ hour story. While it’s not bad, you'd hope for a much bigger upgrade or overhaul of crafting and other gameplay mechanics, but many remained completely untouched. But the gameplay isn’t what causes this game to be a failure in my opinion, because that’s not what people really play TLOU for anyways. People play for the characters and story, which is nothing short of disappointing and misguided in this game. The utter lack of respect toward previous or even new characters prevents the player from getting invested in them, and the game fails to utilize the one relationship the player was already invested in going into the game. Instead they demolish that relationship, and never really show it getting back to anything of what it used to be. Most other characters in this game are stagnant and replaceable, and while they have good performances, fail to make me care about them in a meaningful way. That is, until they get brutally murdered on a quest for revenge. By the end of the game I was so numb to violence nothing shocked me anymore, and I’m not sure what the game was even trying to say through all this violence and misery. What I do know is that I feel devastated for Ellie and deep hatred for another character. I truly hope Naughty Dog lets this franchise die in the pit they dug for it. I absolutely loved the first game, but this train wreck wants me to feel depressed for nothing. Some of the lessons it tries to teach seem so stupidly simple I asked myself if I was even hearing it right. All I can hear now is the ringing in my ears after listening to one of my favorite games get pillaged and massacred in the name of “Subverted Expectations”. Do not recommend… Expand

    Gameplay is barely an improvement to the original. Graphics are phenomenal. Worst story I have ever played in my entire life. This garbage is what you get when a studio prioritizes a juvenile moral “lesson” over the connections fostered with characters that made the first “The Last of Us” so phenomenal. DO NOT BUY.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros
    - The graphics are amazing 10/10
    - Combat is also really good because you see how they tweaked the fighting from the first game to part II and how they added many more things,which i think create a good gaming experience. (at least for me it did) 9/10
    - Amazing cast 10/10

    Cons
    - Joel being killed off for shock value.
    I personally think that they should've killed him in part 3 or maybe not at all,because i just think that the whole idea of killing off the main protector is so overused nowadays in these post-apocalyptic games.
    - This game is full of forgettable characters
    - Character development that was developed in the first game was thrown out the trash in part II
    - They forced us to sympathize with abby
    - So many plot holes, like way to much
    - There were one to many parts that were unwanted and unnecessary
    - The ones who wrote the game apparently forgot what made the first game a masterpiece.The Last of Us isn't The Last of Us without Joel or Ellie.
    - Waited 7 years to just see one of the most beloved characters of the gaming industry tortured to death and then we see our little girl Ellie all alone and sad.Which is her worst fear by the way

    Ok,so i am gonna to stop yapping,sorry for the long read
    in Conclusion I think that there are good things about this game and a lot of bad things about this game as you can see.It killed me to see such a good story and characters go to waste.I am so disappointed in part II.The way they handled the original characters that we grew to know and love was just messed up,but i also wanna send a big thanks to everyone who put a lot of effort in this game.I think for me The Last of Us ended with the masterpiece that was the first one.    … Expand

Furthermore, Naughty Dog has been aggressively suppressing all the reviews and discussion about the doubts that Elli would not be able to supplement Joel's patronage and farther-care feeling towards the girl, which was balancing the very harsh environment of the Last of Us Part I. Imagine my shocker when even after two hours of playing I couldn't actually start playing, because I had to skip endless cut scenes, which could interest only LGBT representatives. Above all, the game forces you to take the side of the lesbians, murderers and drag-addicts, because you won't have an opportunity for somebody else (!!!). This game is not only a fail, but it's a propaganda of the sick motives and values among children as well! I do assume that Naughty Dog Team in its major have made its choice, but let us and our children make their decisions on their own! You may have tricked me into buying Part II with lots of paid up reviews, but you would never convince to buy any of your games in the future. Naughty Dog should definitely step out of their LGBT surrounding, because they would be very surprised that non-LGBT normals are absolutely in its major all around the world!… Expand

How do you mess up a story this much to the point you don’t even understand what’s going on? The story is horrible, its starts off by killing Joel and you play as the killer for majority of the game while Ellie plots her revenge in the background. It’s literally the equivalent of in your favorite show if mid-way through the season if some random person comes in and kills off the main character and replaces him/her. So much stuff just randomly happens that doesn’t make sense or is ever explained. Like many times through the game you get into these big moments and you think something is going to happen for it to just randomly stop or be interrupted without explaining anything! Why did you guys stop fighting? Why are we here now? Where is this? It’s so choppy you don’t even get to process what is happening. They went from this great story telling to just figure it out yourself. Graphics, game play, voice acting are amazing but the story is what needs to carry the game and it just wasn’t there.… Expand

    In the shortest way, I could possibly explain: I am a fan of The Last Of Us, so here are my thoughts:

    Technically: 7/10 Execution of play mechanics for PS4 level are Ok ish, and where stuff is missing or weird, new stuff is added to make the game more immersive and real like. But then you have the bad stuff that make it so arcade... I get now why Ellie cannot climb over stuff (because    In the shortest way, I could possibly explain: I am a fan of The Last Of Us, so here are my thoughts:

    Execution of play mechanics for PS4 level are Ok ish, and where stuff is missing or weird, new stuff is added to make the game more immersive and real like. But then you have the bad stuff that make it so arcade... I get now why Ellie cannot climb over stuff (because another character can do that)... This game reminds me of GTA San Andreas when you would look to the right, to the left, before crossing the street and boom a car shows up out of nowhere. Same here, stuff just show up cuz why not... very realistic :)) Also reloading is bad... like on CS GO... walking sometimes feels like on FIFA when the character is not related to the ground it sits. The added new mechanics are awesome, and I love how Ellie can fall and still shoot. that is cool and badass at the same time.

    Effects: 9/10 -> I felt the adrenaline with the introduction of several elements to let you know what happens around you. Also the mood of the game, colours, special effects are top-notch. Flares are so awesome, wow! Also, the water looks good, and when is a storm outside be it in the forest, city or water, man you almost feel the fear of something falling on you. Good job there!

    Story: 1/10 -> never played a game I hated the story so much.

    Put a kid to kill everyone, and I mean everyone. Then people who should be more responsible choose to put themselves in risk for nothing... Then have a kid kill out of ... promise? Is this The Last of Us? Let's kill a bunch of humans, kids, dogs, pregnant women, mothers, fathers, patrol people etc.

    The only things you kill less are zombies and clickers -> you can outrun them so... the same amp to kill women and pregnant kids that are not infected cuz this is the vision of ND.

    The story is poorly driven, you have to make stuff for no f' reason and most times you would say: Joel would not want that, Joel would not do that, WTF Ellie why would you do that, ND why you force me to do that.

    And then the second part comes in and you question is WHAT?
    After you take a pause and maybe get back to the game or sell it ar Micromania (store in France related to games), or just continue because maybe the 5 stars are worth it in the end.

    Well, surprise surprise, ND decided to use bad publicity, as publicity. So no... the end of Part 2 is just sad... very sad. Ellie became a character that should just die and be at peace. Just like Joel. No more suffering, no more innocent people to die because of her.
    And the other characters -> instead of searching for the rainbows, make the rainbow...

    Remember hot the Hobbit was a very bad movie compared to The Lord of the Rings?
    Remember how the movie feels too long or too much?

    This is part 2, also too long, also done by the same team, also disappointing.
    But unlike the hobbit, this one costs 59,99 euro and you are forced to play like you don't want to, make choices that you, or the Ellie from part 1 would not make.

Might've been good on its own merits, but to call this a Last of Us game, you carry a certain weight with that name, and the ideas of this revenge tale just don't land. I felt nothing for these characters, and barely even got to know them. A far cry from the well written story of the first game. I feel for anybody that pre-ordered this expecting one thing and being blindsided by the devs need to "subvert player expectations". Combat can be fun and designs are beautiful, but thats not enough to warrant people to play this. Ultimately its a story narrative, and it fails in that regard to being interesting, or even furthering the characterization of these characters.
    My low score is reflective of the deceit I felt from the trailers, I never looked at the leaks cause I trusted naughtdog to deliver. What they gave me was half a story, no multiplayer, and death of great & new characters for shock value that neither carries the story or draws you. I hope to god they never make a sequel.

    Did the writers have any inkling of the story from part 1? Everything that made part 1 phenomenal and endearing and a game you reach for over and over part 2 has crapped all over.

It never does and by the end of the game you realize you just wasted 32 hours and $65 for characters that never seem right.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You know what? I created an account here just for to write an review on this game. And I want to do it in a smart way with examples and explanations, but I so overwhelmed with emotional and disappointment, I just can't.

    I loved the first one. I love the story, I love Joel and Ellie and have the huge attachment for them. And what did I get in part two?

    A nightmare.

    I was forced to watch a Joel's death and then I was forced to play as the person who killed him. The Naughty Dog is really think that player could grown an attachment for Abby just because she had a dog, a group of some sh***ty friends and saved two random children that came out of nowhere?

    NO. That's not enough.

    All time playing as Ebby I was like "oh okay I don't care about you nor your back story come on let me play as Ellie again". I wanted a f****ng revenge or a choice at least - to kill or to spare Abby, but got some pacifistic s***t in the end.

    We have seen how Joel was beaten to death, we have seen Ellie tearing apart being forced watched it... and after all this, after what Ellie was been through to get to Abby, she is letting Abby go? She lost her FAMILY, LOVE OF HER LIFE, friends for this and she is LET ABBY GO? This is some sh***t. It's ridiculous. I'm telling you. It's irrational decision for someone like Ellie. It doesn't fit her personality at all.

    And let's talk about Srcars for a second. Like... what do we know about them besides it's some kind of cult fighting with The WLF? Hmmm... nothing? These two children - Lev and Yara. Who are they? The literally came out of nowhere. Like LITERALLY. Why Lev cut his own hair? What rule doesn't allow it? What other rules is there at all? Why Lev decided to go to his mom? For what was all this Scar's children story?

    Oh, I tell you. To show Abby bright side, like, "look she is doing all this to save life of this poor girl and going to Island to rescue Lev risking her own life, oh, she IS so kind LOVE HER NOW, feel sorry for HER! Yeah, she killed Joel, but she HAD HER REASONS, LOOK - HER FATHER IS SO SWEET HE LIKES ANIMALS, oh no, bad Joel killed him (and a bunch of the other guys to protect Ellie at first place)!"

    Abby’s dad was an angel fighting for the future of mankind, yeah, right. So what would happen if Ellie had a real parents traveling with her to the Fireflies, thinking that their child can help making a vaccine, and then finding out this people is about to kill her. What would they do? Say "okay" and go?

    The whole Abby story is weak and has a lot of plot's hole. Yeah, maybe Naughty Dog was trying to draw a parallel between Ellie and Joel and Abby and Lev/Yara, I get it. But it doesn't work at all. Abby is a not mentally stable. She is not a "villain to hero", she is a dummy. We see Abby like a ruthless killer, we see how she obsessed with revenge - and when she get what she want she all the sudden became a loving MOTHER?

    Oh, come on! It's such... Gosh, I wish I could swearing.

    Ellie clearly has a PTSD, she can't sleep, she has a hallucination. She is affected by all this happened to her, by what she had done. We see how she changes. This hurts.

    But Abby stay the same. I totally get Abby’s motivation and her pain about the lost, but I just don’t care. I don’t feel anything for her at all.

    Ellie deserves better.
    Joel deserves better.

    Abby is not deserving anything - nor a forgiving or a lot of screentime.

    I AM DISAPPOINTED.

    7/10 for graphics - but I want a good story, not a cool texture of grass.

    A game with disgusting gameplay that is painful to play. BUT as a movie is not so bad. If the game removes all the gameplay (which is unclear why it is needed there), then it will become better. I believe that games should be judged by gameplay and not by plot. And if you judge so, the Last of us 2 is 0-3 out of 10, if the plot is 7-8 out of 10.

    There is nothing much to this game except a trash story with over-the-top violence and a message it miserably fails to convey. I regret wasting my money on this game from a company that has abused copyright law and advertising to lie and cheat consumers into thinking they are experiencing a continuation of the first (and incredible) Last of Us entry.

    This is a perfect example of why graphics don't make a game great. When Naughty Dog wrote this story they went the route of how can we best piss of our existing fan base.

In a nutshell: within the first few hours our hero Joel gets bludgeoned to death, by what appears to be a transgender girl/guy? While our Heroine Ellie is forced to watch without being able to save him. That killed the game for me, PERIOD! The Creators of this game Fooled us into thinking this was going to be a continuation of Joel and Ellie's adventure by using false media hype. Then to add insult to injury, the game halfway through Forces you to play as the transgender girl/guy that killed Joel and is now trying to kill Ellie. What?! No? Yes! that's the story arc. At this point I stopped playing. Tried to get a refund but PSN won't refund if the game was started. So now I'm not only heartbroken but angry as well. The Graphics are just Beautiful. the Art team did a great job. But it's unfortunate that the the writers Destroyed the the game for the fans. I accuse the developer of Fraud here.

    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]
