    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely horrible game. I could've understood the good reviews if the game was well written. The theme of revenge and forgiveness is okay, also playing as the villain is an interesting choice....if only it wasn't written in such a bad way. If they wanted us to like Abby then they should've made us play with her from the very beginning, showing us her reasons and making us feel some empathy towards her instead of just throwing her in the game like that. And no, playing 10 hours as her isn't going to make me change mine or anyone's mind about her character at that point in the story. The LGBT theme is written by someone who clearly doesn't understand how mechanics between lesbians work. Casually the only sex scene between them seems like a pillow fight and there's also the presence of weed (I wonder why it's never mentioned afterwards, huh?). Overall, it really seems like the writer tried to represent the community without actually having an idea of how things really work. As a part of the community myself I don't feel represented in the least by such a thing.
    If this wasn't the worst already there's also the mental illness part. You want to represent someone with PTSD? Fine, then show me ALL the sympthoms that come with it, not just a part of them. It's useless to try to portrait them as real people if then you don't give the idea of complete realism. Where's all the anxiety, the sudden changes of mind and absurd thoughts that come with PTSD? Why wasn't there EVER a confrontation with Dina about it?
    Another point is that the characters don't seem themselves anymore. Joel and Ellie, the core of the previous game, feel completely out of character from the very beginning. Joel would've never revealed his name or trusted someone so easily, we all know that, so why doing him like this here? It just makes no sense. Nothing much has changed from the gameplay point of view and some areas are just boring. The ending, however, manages to do even worse than this. If the message is that revenge is bad, then why does Abby get away with what she's done? Does it make any sense that Ellie lets the only person who wronged her live and kills everyone else? This is just ridiculous. This game is nothing like the critic says about it. Absolute trash.

    Wow, what a waste of 70 bucks. I don't mind the story at all, but the horrendous linear gameplay and combat feels like a game from maybe 10 years ago? I forced myself to play ~10 hours cos I payed big money for this. Graphics are absolutely stunning, so there is still that...
    Biggest gaming related disappointment of my life.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review will have spoilers but before i get to that - Save your time, money and energy and don't buy this game, I usually dont write reviews but this game was so bad i just had to. Dont let it soil the love and appreciation you've built up for characters in the first game. All the 10/10 and 5 star reviews and articles popping up are quite frankly fake, paid reviews by people who think they're above everyone else in "their artistic genius". After finishing the game I'm left with a really bad taste in my mouth. Its rare for me to honestly rate any game a zero because I always try to find the merit in games even if they have flaws. But this game has almost no good points, its merits are few and far between and whatever genuinely good parts present are ruined by the rest of the game. Im left wondering, after seven years of waiting THATS what we get?!
    In a post-apocalyptic world where the possibilities for a game are endless THATS the best they could come up with?
    It felt like a cruel slap in the face. Like raising a child for years (in this case the first instalment) and then having said child brutally gutted in front of you (second instalment- the last of us part 2)
    It honestly felt like the infected weren't even a part of the game anymore and were just kind of an obstacle.

    I just cannot seem to grasp just how idiotic the story is They've taken the surgeon who was supposed to develop a vaccine from Ellie in the first game, a seemingly unimportant almost insignificant character just taped to the end of the first game. And they've made him a basis for revenge for the entire sequel? Seriously? An entire well filled with fantastic ideas and you choose the worst possible one? I hope your directing career is over Neil. In what world is this game alright?!

    Its very obvious that the team working on this game frantically tried to clean up druckmans story mess with clean visuals and solid gameplay but druckmans idiocy rooted within the game prevails at making it a misery to play.

    Its horrible beyond belief, through and through. Killing off one of the most favourable characters of the franchise in literally the first 2 hours of the game in the worst way possible was the first indication to how terrible the rest of the game was going to be. There was no real purpose to it. Backtracking to the first game, Joel's daughter was also killed in the beginning and it was gut-renching and there was real emotion I feel like they were going for the same thing in the last of us 2 albiet very unsuccessfully

    In the first game Ellie and joels relationship grows into a father daughter type relationship to fill the void joels daughter left

    In the last of us 2, they attempt to patch it up with dina and tommy unsuccessfully This is a perfect point to state that the games heavy emphasis on the gay agenda also serves no purpose other than to gain the support of the gay community. It's horrifying what they've done in game. Jesse gets Dina pregnant, kill off Jesse so Dina and Ellie can have a family. The message here is that men are only good for breeding?

    Another disastrous point is that the game tries to humanise Joels killer, it tries to justify her actions by having you play as her for half of the game, 12 HOURS. Honestly, that part was just torture, playing as a character you despise while the producers desperately try and paint her in a positive ligh.

    And then forcing us, playing as a character we hate to fight a character we love? That's cruelty I honestly let tommy kill me (playing as abby) like a hundred times before i felt satisfied moving on I also let Ellie do the same Why? Why did neil try so hard to make Ellie the bad guy? Why did he try so hard to make joel the bad guy? Why did they introduce Abby into the franchise? Theres no reason to any of what this game contains In the end the game had a chance to redeem itself and at least score a 1 or 2 out of 10 by killing Abby, the character that everyone despises and no... of course, you couldn't grant me that luxury could you Neil. You had to let Abby escape, had to leave Ellie with PTSD, no family, no friends, no father figures, no fingers, no revenge. Nothing. You had to rip out everything, throw it on the floor, spit on it and make your fans lick up the garbage you created. You honestly had one job and failed, flailing miserably might i add

    I wish i had never played this game, i wish i had left it at the first instalment without a sequel Thanks for nothing you piece of ****

    Заезженный до дыр стелс в котором нет ни чего нового, через 5-6 часов игры стало откровенно скучно от однообразия и это от игры от которой много чего ждал.
    Однотипная игра, однотипные противники, однотипный геймплей.
    Но главное разочарование из-за чего 0 это сюжет, он не просто плохой, он ужасен, он отвратителен и дело не только в убийстве любимого героя и в навязывание толерантных взглядов (даже это сделали ужасно - пресно) проблема в общем, во всем. (Спойлеры)
    Эли, как персонаж не развивается, она деградирует.
    В конце ее решение не убивать Эбби после всего, что она сделала, кажется таким наигранным и высосанным из пальца, что хватаешься за голову. И спрашиваешь за чем все это было?.. В конце её отношение к Джойлу это настоящее предательство по отношению к сюжету первой части. Пытались показать персонажа лучше, а показали запутавшийсю идиотку.
    За игру за Эбби я вообще молчу, персонаж, на которого охотишься, кого ненавидешь становиться для тебя главным ГГ. Замечательно, просто моральная пытка для игрока, а геймплей не чем не отличается от предыдущего.
    Я не знаю за чем прошел эту игру, наверное думал, что хотя бы увижу концовку более менее, что мне хоть покажут как убьют ненавистного персонажа...а получил только еще больше негатива.
    Ставить что то за графику, я не вижу смысла она тут не как не спасает, так как наложена на однотипные, серые, повторяющиеся локации. Прекрасный показатель того, что случается когда за работу берутся бездари, главная цель которых не создать что то особенное, а протолкнуть в массы свои сомнительные идеи.

A very narrow and particular narrative being displayed, targeting a specific group of people (males) as toxic and troublemakers while the other group (females) being the holier-than-thou problem solvers. Good luck trying to sell that **** to the gamers, majority of whom are males and don’t appreciate such stupidity in games. I mean, you could have had a strong female lead like Aloy from Horizon but na, you had to push the femi-nazi ideology, didn’t you? Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So lets start with the good aspects of this game:

    Gameplay - Original and like the first one, imo there is nothing wrong with this since the concept from the original game worked so well. Animations are amazing, fluid and interactive unlike any game ever, cinematics are also immersive and fantastic, alongside a lot of other factors including level design, graphics and so much more.

    But unfurtunately this review score is massively pulled down due to the big elephant in the room: The story - As Druckmann said the story would create some very divisive opinions with the release of this game, and oh boy was he right. Now I don't like the story one bit, and that is mostly since it kinda takes Joel and Ellie's story, and their amazing bond which develops in the first game and throws it somewhat out of the window. Again as many argues mostly people say we don't like the game since Joel dies, this is not true. Matter of fact we all saw this move coming, but it is more HOW Joel dies. It happens in a violent, sadistic and heartbreaking way, that you really feel emotionally. Also the unrealistic plot hole, that Joel in the first game basically slaughtered a hospital of fireflies, which should make him pretty untrusty of any strangers whatsoever, both to keep him and Ellie safe. But still he proceeds to have nothing against Tommy giving them his name. This death is really heavy on the player and by now you really do feel mad by the way he dies, but wait: Now you gotta play as Abby for 10 hrs of the game? Nice, the bodybuilder that just smashed the **** out of your most beloved character with a golf club is now someone you need to know the backstory of. How inconvenient. Really it feels like this shock-driven roller coaster, where they just keep throwing miserable acts and turns at you, that could literally give you a depression for taking such good a francise and turning it into absolute poop. So Joel dies, Ellie ultimately doesn't get her revenge anyway, she kills like a physchopath and gets as far as killing most of Abby's friends, but at the end decides not to kill her anyway. For me that doesn't make sense, you build up a tense revenge plot around killing dosens and dosens of people, only to get dissatisfied with not killing Abby (aka a bunch of setup but no payoff). Yes the message is supposed to teach us revenge is not the way to go, but still. From Abby's perspective, she gets her revenge on Joel, and gets away with it (Obviously with losses too, but we don't give two ***** about her friends, since she litterally golf clubbed the MOST beloved character, aka. Joel to death). So yeah this is not a happy ending, of course not what would I expect. It's a bloody horror game, that tries to tell us that violence and revenge is not the way to go, even though 99% of the game is slaughtering people and infected. This plot just feels weird and dumb, why not go a different path? For instance with the development of a cure instead of building up this weird tension between factions, as if infected plays a minor role all of the sudden. I just don't understand and I am generally frustrated that Ellie ends up with absolutely nothing (which was also what she expressed she was afraid of in the first game: "Ending up alone"), like the whole francise twisted towards the player having to feel empathetic towards Abby now, because now she is appointed the good girl, and not Ellie. Really sad moment by Neil man, that he has to rip Ellie so much apart, taking everything from her including her baby, girlfriend (Dima), dad-like figure (Joel), multiple fingers, and gives her a stress disorder to top it off. Many people say it's good for the francise to take new directions, and I agree to some extend. Well if they were going to, they might as well just make a completely new story, leaving the old one untouched for a spin off series instead - Since this game literally feels too long because some weird Abby playthrough background DLC was thrown up by Druckmann. I just wish for the writers to at least respect the characters, since ultimately the player base would love for them to be treated somewhat fairly. But yeah look, I guess druckmann got his wishes come true. Since sad moments drag more attension than a linear boring ass storyline. So he'd rather destroy the francise for some more fame. I dunno dude, this interview is getting long and I just really want them to rewrite the whole story.

One of the most badass characters of the previous generation during PS3, that all broken up varies hordes to protect the "daughter" and didn't trust anyone ... In the sequence, he almost gave ABBY his ID, and you still have to go back in time to try to sympathize with the bastard, all gameplay with her revolves around trying to humanize the bastard, all flash back with Joel are lovable ... which makes me even more pissed to kill Abby To reach the end and be a coitus interrupt... giving the fvck up other points like Ellie losing her fingers to the **** losing the ONLY connection she had with Joel ... to give up Kill's 9999 scars like ants to reach the end and feels the "killing is wrong" mood (fvck off)

The gameplay is the best, it maintains what is already known in the first part and adds new things such as being able to jump and handle ropes, fighting against the waves whether infected or not, make us stay on the edge of stealth. The story shocked me, like anyone else, but something that people must understand is that this game is not about Joel, but Ellie, and that is made clear to us from the beginning. By putting ourselves in the perspective of "the bad guys" they make us understand that every act of revenge brings us to the same starting point, without knowing who is good or bad. I like to think that the objective of the director of this game was to put an end to this story, because the same thing would always be repeated but with new characters, it is here where it is worth mentioning the phrase "die being a hero or live long enough to become the villain".

    Has to be the worst sequel of all time! Basically if you like the first game then stay away from this one.

    The devs basically hate the fans of the first game, you don't want to know what they did to the characters in the first game! Also they do things out of characters, making it seems like they are either forgotten or rewritten just to get the 2nd game released. Rushed out of the market too.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a story-driven game, thus relying heavily on it's story. Gameplay and graphics are a minor point compared to this.

    The story of The Last Of Us clearly went downwards since the first installment. Every credible source will tell you this fact as well. Personally I think this is connected to the fact that ND crunched a lot of employees in the making of this game. Eventually they didn't know what to, since all the competent people left the company, so they decided to make this.

    After playing the game, I could probably tell you the names of about 3 characters, the ones from the first game not included. These people are the same throughout the game. There is no character development. I think the game does try to make you care about it's characters and there troubles, but I haven't met a credible source that say they do care about the characters. Neither do I. It is clear that the writers of this game are not the same as the last game, to say the least. Futhermore, after viewing the trailers for this game you wouldn't think this is the direction it would you. Plenty of people feel baited into buying this game. Luckily I have managed to refund it.

    The gameplay is solid, however it is a copy and paste of the first installment.

    The graphics are not bad, but that is what you expect from a game that has been in development for 7-8 years.

    All in all I give this game a 0/10, for it did not deliver.
