    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you enjoyed the original Last of Us then avoid this game at all costs. This story is a train wreck in slow motion. I hope you don't like any of the characters from the first game or any of the hero characters from the beginning of the Last of Us 2. I can accept that this is a story of revenge and that Joel dies but I never expected all of the hero's to be dead, mutilated, traumatized with PTSD, destroyed marriages, and their lives in complete ruin at the end of the game while the villain quite literally sails off into the distance to live a happy and successful life.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really really liked Last of Us 1. The story was good, the gameplay was solid, and I really enjoyed the multiplayer, though I know it wasn't for everyone.
    But this game is just terrible, the gameplay is still there, and it is still solid. And sometimes gameplay can save a game with a bad story, but it can't save this one.
    GAMEPLAY
    The gameplay is pretty much identical to the first game, with a few minor tweaks and a few new weapons to play with. So if you liked the way the first one felt, you'll probably like how this one feels.
    STORY
    The story is a complete dumpster fire. They took every character we ever liked and either killed them or completely changed them so they are shell of their former personality. They force you to commit atrocities and then point the finger at you saying "Player why would you do such a thing, don't you feel bad?" None of the people in this game talk like you would expect to talk in real life, it feels like a very badly acted out children's play. The writing is sincerely bad, and you need only look at the other reviews to confirm this. The plot is a revenge plot, and some revenge plots can work extremely well, look at The Princess Bride, one of the greatest movies of all time, but the important thing about revenge plots is payoff. There needs to be a reason for us to care about the outcome and the outcome needs to be satisfying. During this game everyone Ellie loves dies or leaves her on her quest to get revenge, and when revenge is finally within your grasp, they take it away from you, and let the antagonist just get away. The bad guy gets away, and you lost everything near and dear to you, bam, wallop, that'll be $60. What in the world were they thinking? It would have been okay if we could sympathize with Abby at all, but she is just a dumb **** Her brains match her muscles in that they look like rocks. Her character is totally unbelievable and feels unlike any human I have ever met.
    I came away from this game wondering what took 7 years. Especially with all of the news we got about Naughty Dog overworking their employees and having massive crunch times. Did they spend all 7 years on the graphics alone? Because they didn't spend it on writing, and the gameplay is almost identical so they didn't spend it making new gameplay mechanics. And there is no multiplayer so they didn't put an ounce of effort towards that either. This game is extremely disappointing. If you still think you might like it after reading this review then go ahead and buy it, judge for yourself, but I'd recommend against it.    … Expand

    This is 20 hours of hot garbage, everyone rent the game, do not spend 60 on this game. No joke, just do not, the pacing, the action, the storytelling, this entire game is awful. Takes two hours for the story to even begin, there was couple good moments around 7th hour into the game, and then from the 12th hour to the ending, it just sucks. This entire game is garbabge, this game sucks period.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game doesn’t understand its players. It’s focus is directed more towards sending a message than it is to telling a story. The ending feels like a punch in the face. You’re telling me that Ellie kills hundreds of «bad guys» who have families (and dogs) and feelings and still she just lets Abby go? Ellie didn’t realize beforehand that Joel wouldn’t want Ellie to waste her life?

    Everything that made the first game so amazing is just gone from the second game. The 10 hour long journey to make us understand Abby just left a sour taste in my mouth. It felt like a bad DLC and I was constantly waiting for it to end. Besides, Abby was a spiteful and bad person. Her dad was about to kill a 14 year old girl, and she doesn’t understand why Joel would defend that girl? Her dad even expressed uncertainty when faced with the question of what he’d do if it was Abby who was immune, and still she doesn’t understand why Joel did what he did? Mel was right, Abby is a piece of ****

    I could rant forever about how bad and disappointing this game is, but the game doesn’t deserve my time. Words can’t describe how bad this game is, but numbers can. 0/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Metacritc removed my review on my old account because of its "content" and I suspect they've been using that excuse to remove a lot of other negative reviews because this game does not deserve a 4.9. Metacritic, do not remove my review again. Ive heard a lot of people saying "This game doesn't deserve a 10/10 but it definitely doesn't desrve a 0/10" fs Naughty Dog flat out lied to you during the marketing for the game, they abused their staff to the point of hospitalisation and they issued false copyright claims on youtube channels who merely discussed the leaks, which is illegal btw. So yeah, as far as i am concerned this game has truely earned its 0 out of 10
    For the record, i went into this game with an open mind and did not look at the leaks as i was hyped for the game. I completed the game from start to finish and so did everyone who are giving this game the **** reviews it deserves and anyone saying people are giving this game the terrible reviews it deserves because they are homophobic then they definitely didnt play the first game. Because guess what? Ellie is still gay in that game but everyone still loves her beacuse being gay is her sexuality not her personality unlike in this terrible game. Some of the "good" points about this game that keep coming up are its graphics and gameplay. Like i mentioned Naughty Dog abused their staff for years and drove them to quit or end up in hospital. This abuse was the catalyst for the leaks and anyone thinking that some how hackers caused the leaks are **** stupid. So yeah, if you work your staff 24 hours a day then the graphics have to be good fs. The gameplay is the exact same as TLOU apart from a **** rope and jump button and the mainstream gaming media were sucking them new features off, like fs its a jump and rope addition its not that **** great    … Expand

    Ever since before the end credits, The Last Of Us already become my favorite videogame ever. Never I loved a game so much, never felt so close to such intimate characters, trapped by its atmosphere. I wanted to love Part II even more, (and I did with absolute passion) and struggled to keep that feeling until it was impossible.

    I have been maturing my opinion on the game for days and like    Ever since before the end credits, The Last Of Us already become my favorite videogame ever. Never I loved a game so much, never felt so close to such intimate characters, trapped by its atmosphere. I wanted to love Part II even more, (and I did with absolute passion) and struggled to keep that feeling until it was impossible.

    I have been maturing my opinion on the game for days and like many others I have never decided to write a review on this website until now.

    I don't write this to give myself credibility but because apparently nowdays the only authority to opine on a videogame is held by videogame websites, whose only reason to exist is to help selling videogames. According to those media, opinion of real players is pure review-bombing without any value, as they have been unanimously sentencing for weeks all over the internet.

    I would like to write in detail about my impressions of the game, but I feel disappointed and emotionally dejected to do that tour again even in my memory.

    Furthermore, there is little that has not already been said about the impeccable and unparaleled tecnical work and inmersion feeling Naughty Dog has achieved in this game.

    Sadly there is a point when a studio forgets for whom they make videogames and start to be more interested in doing something paradigmatic for the critics, something that nobody dared before, rather than making an actual good videogame for the players. They abandoned the philosophy that made them great, poisoned with ambition.

    "This is for the players" says Sony. Well, it looks like this is more for themselves, for Naugty Dog to become industry-revolutionary at any cost. It's impossible that most of the players enjoyed this game.

    Is the result of a Neil Druckmann drunk with success from the masterpiece he created 7 years ago. His ego now out of any prudence that contained it, and allowed him to make a game with his audience in mind. His glory became more important than his characters who are mistreated in a cruel, unfair and cheap way to achieve no effect on the player other than depression and hate. A hatred feeling he immediately makes sure of making you feel guilty about. That intention is very obvious to the spectator from the very first moment due to the very obvious, easy and little elaborated narrative resources usted to that end.

    Nor did George Martín, whom Neil seems to aspire to compare, dared to go that far with his main characters.

    The team will indeed be remembered in videogame history for breaking the fourth wall in an innovative way. But that at the cost of emotionally harming the players, miserably mistreating perfect and beloved characters and destroying a masterpiece out of pure ambition.

    I do not think it's dishonest to score so low even when the game is inpeccable in many tecnical aspects, in the same way that in an exam a single critical unacceptable error can invalidate many right answers. This way, my score is solely due to the sensations I experienced playing this game, a depression and disappointment which last even today and that no game ever caused me.    … Expand

El juego si bien es bueno en cuanto a mecánicas, gráficos, etc; su historia no está a la altura, dandole excesiva pantalla a momentos que no tienen nada que ver con la experiencia The Last Of Us Part 2. Si bien es una historia que quizás para un spin off, o una historia que tuviera lugar en el mismo universo estaría bien, pero como continuidad de The Last Of Us 1 es horrible. Igual debo hacer una critica hacia el lesbianismo que expresa el juego, el cual sin duda no estoy en contra del movimiento perse, siento que no aporta mucho al juego y a la experiencia, siempre he dicho que estas cosas, la inclusión, las ideas, etc; deberían estar al servicio de la historia, no la historia estar al servicio de dichas cosas cosas, le dan demasiada pantalla al tema, viendose incluso que está al servicio de una agenda politica. Siento que el nivel de madurez de la entrega no creció con las personas que la jugaban en la primera parte, no porque tenga sexo, violencia, ni malas palabras significa que va a presentar una historia madura y ni tampoco una buena historia.
    Un ejemplo donde se hable de venganza de buena manera sería Red Dead Redemption 2, donde se aborda de manera realmente madura, sorprendiendo de una compañía que usualmente hace gala de pocos argumentos al crear una historia. En cambio Naughty Dog quien es el cual se espera que produzca una historia donde realmente nos parezca algo cercano, natural y familiar, crea The Last Of Us Part 2, la cual no te hace crear ningún vínculo personaje, jugador, el tiempo de desarrollo que tomo la última creación de Naughty Dog para mi fue algo alargado, siendo el producto final de tan mala calidad.

    If not because so many 10/10 out of no where I would probably give it a 3 or 4 considering the graphics are good.

    But cannot bear with Naughty Dog's attempt to mute and demonize the critics, their "bribery" to the fake media, and their questionable ethics (they cheat us on their trailers) has me suspect where these 10/10 coming from.

    So, 0/10

    The game is nothing less than a 7 out of 10. The middle portion of the game is slow, and arguably unnecessary. While slow, it's a masterpiece of video game creation. Graphics, animations, and sound are the best of the generation. The story and lies (from previous trailers) are what hold this back.

Right, I really don't care if the company wants to do this kind of game, but I felt bamboozled with trailers creating hype and connection with the first beloved game to just deliver this crap.

    Unfortunately, I need to agree with another review here that said that "buy pre-order" from Sony could be a real problem. Spend money on a AAA game that I don't want to play. We received "a lie", probably they don't say anything before to avoid the game to "flop" as movies with that kind of "narrative". Nonetheless, if that is the way that Sony wants to follow from now, I will think twice before buy the new PS5 console.

    I don't give 0 because the game is really, technically, beautiful. But, you need to check it for yourself... but don't buy the digital version you will not be able to sell it. I think that you need to check for yourself (don't believe in me), but come back here to tell to everyone what you discovered.

    Just to finish, I never saw a number of user scores on Metacritic so high on years and a lot of AAA games... "something is wrong", are really gamers voting or people trying to defend their causes?    … Expand

    The game just free kill Joel, THE character of the game for a bad revenge. Imagine have a daughter and someone tries to kill her, you just kill this someone who has a daughter too and that daughter somehow discovery the location about your brother in the middle of an apocalypse 4 years later and kills you for just save your **** daughter. The game begins with this, and keep the entire story over this, that for me, isn't a good reason, come on, Joel just killed her father because him tried to kill Ellie. Btw, there’s strange moments in the end of the game, well, how the **** Tommy is alive? Man, you have a pregnant woman that was spanked and another one woman who was spanked too and has a broken arm to take a man who got a **** shot in the head to cross kilometers in a way with elevations and holes and probably enemies, how the **** they did that? Btw again, Tommy seems that just got alive to give a trash reason to keep the game on, "I know the Abby's location, come there and kill her! Have your revenge", man... just stay died and finish this trash game and know what? She just doesn't do it in the end because of “circle of revenge” isn't cool. When some important character dies, I really hope that be worth but in this game this doesn't happened and it’s so sad, so **** sad the chat between Ellie and Joel in the end of the game a thing that makes me think that if Abby doesn’t exists the game could be so better. Ellie's reaction about the truth, actually a little piece of the truth, is so exaggerated. Really that you probably stay away from Joel for 2 year because that? You made a show with this? Wow, cool.
    Another point is, the gameplay is so repetitive, we do the same things in entire game, explore, kill some infected that aren't so much mechanics to do that, is almost the same thing ever, and the humans that doesn't make any **** difference between then.
    The soundtrack is good, but nothing memorable. The SFX are perfect, is so good with everything, I guess. When you are upgrading your guns, you can see how good the SFX is in this game.
    The Animation is another good point, without the bugs, the face reactions are really realistic, the grass and the looting animation too.
    Overall, the few good things about this game aren't worth over the bad story, and that is it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In all sincere fairness, the Last of Us Part II has disappointed me beyond belief. I am so glad that a friend lent me his copy to review the game because I have saved myself $60. The game is extremely mired with Neil Druckmann's political beliefs and the WoRsT DiReCtIoN I have yet to see in a videogame.
    For starters, the trailers were purposely misleading and that cannot be ignored because they were advertising a game that people did not receive. I was ready for Joel to die, but the terrible way his death was handled is a "spit in the face" to character everyone grew to care for and love in the original game. I mean this literally, as Druckmann created a character that looks just like him and spits on Joel's face after her gets murdered.
    This has to be the Worst Writing In The History of Videogames! That is not an exaggeration. Joel gets murdered by this new character that is forced down your throat and you Do NoT care about at all.
    Druckmann tries so hard to make you sympathize with what honestly seems like a Transvestic character, but he fails so hard at it, it is despicable and brutally hilarious at the same time.
    In the name of RePrEsAnTaTiOn and his association with Anita Sarkeesian (a person who knows nothing about the videogame fanbase), Druckmann decided to pair you with a TranSexual Child that one also fails to sympathize with since his or her or they or whatever that can be called does not get sufficient screen time nor does it have much of a compelling story that most people playing Last of Us can relate to.
    I thought that playing Ellie would be the redeeming quality of the game, but even that turns out terrible with the atrocious story plots involving her like the silliest love triangle, if you can even call it that, I've witnessed portrayed in entertainment.
    Some levels are expansive, but become overly repetitive and downright boring after performing the same stealth takedown animation 300 times.
    I will say this because others may not have the audacity to, but it needs to be said. The Abby 'Transvestic' and Owen sex scene that Sony and Naughty Dog have forced/coerced players to watch is dowrnight Disgusting, it is Gross, and Laughable. The irony is that Sony censored Trish's buttcrack in Devil May Cry 5, but they want you to see manly **** rubbing against another dude. Something is going terribly wrong at Sony Headquarters and Naughty Dog needs to get rid of Druckmann if they want to stay relevant because Last of Us Part II has sent them down the rabbit hole.
    It is so crazy that I have to write this about a company and a developer that I admired for so long.
    Something changed, and it has changed for the WoRsT!

    Pros: the game has pretty graphics
    Mixed: Somewhat-decent gameplay (not much evolution from original)
    Cons: Worst story ever; Force-fed Druckmann politics; androgynous character faces; worst revenge plot; Joel dies; You play Ellie only half the game; You have to play with a Transvestic character and have a TranSexual child for a partner; Gross uncensored transvestic nudity.

    You get the gist of this review. The Cons outweigh anything remotely positive by 9000.

    Last of Us Part II is the stairway to doom for Sony and Naughty Dog.

One sided characters, little to no quality gameplay from the beta that was released, and a story that was just downright all over the place because they were too busy trying to sell merchandise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had to rate this game as low as possible despite my great love for the original due mainly to the extremely confused narrative the game told, it was like the writers and developers didn't know what story they wanted to tell. I have played the game through twice already so that I could build up a reasonable opinion of it. The game begins with a brutal display of Joel being tortured (not murdered, tortured) by the new character Abby, while her friends gleefully hold audience to her actions. This visceral image I assume is meant to make us feel connected to Ellie's mission of revenge. The story then follows Ellie slowly taking her revenge, what we see of Abby and her friends on Ellie's journey does not endear us to them, Jordan the first one you encounter seems all to happy to cause Ellie pain, then you encounter Nora who also seems all to happy to mock Ellie about Joel's death. Abby and her friends exude a sense of moral superiority that is entirely undeserved and appear remorseless in their actions. At about the mid point we jump characters and begin playing as Abby, we backtrack to the beginning of Abby's story I assume so that we can understand her motivations. Unfortunately despite understanding Abby's motivations they're a few if any redeemable features about her and her friends. Playing through her story we see that she works for an organisation that seems cruel and sadistic in nature, happily torturing their enemies. Her friends continue to exude that moral superiority, even the ones who seem to have some redeeming feature continue to act as though they are the arbiters of fate and it is their place to pass judgement and hand out sentences of torture (not death). So where Ellie's story plays as one of emotional distress at the course of revenge she has taken, Abby's seems to play as though there is no conflict in anything she has done. This is where my confusion at the story comes from what do the writers want from us, do you want to us to like Abby and her friends more, then perhaps they should have shown more moral conflict or perhaps questioned themselves and their actions more, which Ellie seems to do in her story. The other option would have been to expose us to Abby and her friends seperate to what they did and allow us to like them and care about them then show us what they did. Do they want us to hate Abby and her friends more, make Ellie's quest feel more justified, really that doesn't make sense then Abby's story and playing as her is unnecessary, people hate her initially from the beginning from their first exposure to her. Is making Abby and her friends seem more unlikeable all about making Ellie and the choice she makes at the end of the game more powerful and make her seem like the better person than Abby? So what is the story you want to tell writers and what is the journey you want us to go on? Some of the journal entries in Ellie's story and a few of scenes flashing in Ellie's mind at the conclusion of the game seem to be about Ellie, realising her wanting revenge against Abby is more about Ellie feeling bad for the way her relationship with Joel was before his death and that revenge doesn't give her any closure. If this is the story you wanted to tell again, why did we follow Abby's story at all, if it's about Ellie coming to a realisation why didn't we follow Ellie for the entirety of the game and see her wrestle more with her choices and actually reach that realisation with her. This is something that the sequel is lacking that the original had, you went on a journey and you felt connected and you reached and understood the conclusion that was made in the first this didn't happen at all in a part 2. Are you trying to tell a story of how revenge and violence can take everything away from you, this would make sense given the epilogue where Ellie returns to an empty house alone, and unable to properly play the guitar, loosing an important connection she had to Joel. Again if this was the case then Ellie shouldn't have come to any realisations, really it would have been more poetic for her to kill Abby get her revenge to return home and realise then she has nothing and that her quest took everything from her. The other lacking area this game had is the close relationship between 2 characters. While the first you followed Joel and Ellie for easily 80% of the game, you had interplay and banter, and saw a relationship grow this was lacking in this game. All the partner characters were only with you for a short period, you never spent anywhere near the time with another character as Ellie and Joel spent together in the first game. I think an ongoing partner character to play off of Ellie throughout the missions would made the narrative stronger.
    Following this very large negative I will say some positives, visuals are amazing, gameplay is amazing, basically everything in this game but the narrative (the strength of the narrative in the first game is what made it great) is good.    … Expand
