    Huge missed opportunity here.

    In a vacuum, this is an above average game and maybe a good game; however, this game does not exist in a vacuum...it comes as a sequel for one of the best video games of all-time with two of the most endeared characters off all-time. The standards for story-telling were set extremely high and this game fumbled it; there is just WAY too many plot holes,

The standards for story-telling were set extremely high and this game fumbled it; there is just WAY too many plot holes, unnecessary characters injected and rules broken set up by the first game. The gameplay and the ND formula of false freedom of choice, level design and "puzzle" have not been advanced and do not make up for the entire story unfortunately. If one has no ties to the characters of the first game, likes the gameplay and good graphics, this game is for you. Not for me though.

    Bad writings is bad. despite how good the games look, and some new additions it has. I've kept an open mind for it, I do love the franchise, I've platinumed the first game twice in PS3 and PS4. Subverting expectations is quite common nowadays in almost everything. great writers does it by giving audiences something they didn't know they wanted/need. the game failed miserably on that part.

    The last of us 2 is a perfect game, with flawless mechanics, flawless graphics, flawless gameplay, and story that goes very well with shocking moments and stable duration.

    You may have themes of some distaste with in-game policies but you can enjoy it with no problem even with these details present.

    To be honest, I don't understand why a game has to be used as a means to achieve an end, rather than use it as an end itself.

    I dont care if the reason for doing this game was because the game devs got bullied because LGTB... i got bullied as a child for wearing big glasses, but if im in a creative process of a AAA game, lets say, LOTR themed, with a journey + big ending battle, I will

    This game was such a disappointment on all levels. However, let's start with a positive - which is why I'm rating it 3 stars.

    Pros: -Game is gorgeous. it's imperceptible when it switches between cutscenes and gameplay. -The sound is good. -The voice acting is good. Especially Joel (Troy Baker). -You can customize the difficulty to fit your specific playstyle - a nice touch. Cons:

    -The sound is good.
    -The voice acting is good. Especially Joel (Troy Baker).
    -You can customize the difficulty to fit your specific playstyle - a nice touch.

    Cons:
    - Unlikeable characters
    - Hollow characters
    - Plot holes in story line
    - Out of character actions
    - Janky gameplay
    - Addition of dodge mechanic feels forced and bad
    - Mocap used here creates and uncanny valley effect and certain emotions appear very strange looking on character faces
    - Dead eyes
    - Jump scares
    - Did I mention unlikeable characters?
    - Did I mention hollow characters?
    - Repetitive gameplay
    - All of the zombies have the same scalp model SMH

    The biggest con is the story. l'm not upset that they had a heavy, unsettling, surprising storyline. In fact, that can be fun and interesting and thought provoking. The the characters and backstory are so unlikeable that you can't empathize with their reasoning. The result of that is just feeling (as the player) frustrated and betrayed. I didn't enjoy the gameplay and I didn't enjoy the story and I didn't empathize or feel connected to any of the characters or their motivations. It's a bad game. Druckman made it impossible to empathize and care about new characters whilst assassinating old, well-loved ones.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Compared to the first game, this one is a massive step backwards. The last of us gradually developed a beautiful relationship between Joel and Ellie. Neither trusted quickly but eventually they completely relied on each other and Joel did everything to save Ellie.

    This game makes the first one meaningless. They never meet in "current time" before Joel dies and the revenge plot that the happens is petty and not even well written.

    Between Joel's death, Ellie not going through with killing Abbie and losing her fingers in the process (when Abbie bites them off), what is the point of this game. What is the message? You can't argue that the game's graphics are stunning, but all ND games are. It's expected. But graphics do not make a good game. On top of that, the game play hasn't progressed and felt old and clunky.

    Overall I was not impressed. maybe the game was hyped up too much and I expected more. Either way, I was left with a massive feeling of being let down.

    Imagine just relentlessly slaughtering hundreds of people and several dogs just to get to the person who killed the equivalent of your dad and stopping at them because you have an epiphany right after they literally bit your fingers off during the fight. Like, okay. Would never happen. If Ellie actually killed Abby it would have been an overall better story. Still bad, but better than what actually happened. And the ENTIRE TIME you're playing Abby, you just wanna go back to Ellie. You never, ever, ever care for Abby or friends. You can't. You just keep thinking about how she killed Joel. I dunno if they were ever expecting us to like Abby, or if we eventually were just supposed to, but it never happened for me. Not even close. I was so mentally checked out of her story halfway through. It was so boring.

    And even Ellie's story, I never really cared at all about Dina, and I straight up disliked Jesse. The best parts of the game were when Joel and Ellie were together again. And in my opinion, if those are the most enjoyable story parts, then there's a disconnect/failure with the game. Cause it means I'm still connected to/invested in the past. So much so that now that it's gone, I don't actually care about the present in the game.

I started the game excitedly and thought it would be the game of the year, however, the way the story is told destroyed all my expectations. What it looks like in this game is that it has brought unprecedented left activism in the history of games. Maria calls her husband an "ass". Enter marijuana freedom. They explore the case of Ellie, which could be something natural, in a forced and boring way. Disappointing to see that Sony may have entered the world of politics in its games. Doesn't she know that politics and games don't match, just as advertising doesn't match either. Disappointed and I was thinking about PS5, but after that, I will start thinking about the more open strategy of Xbox or PC, because there I have more conditions of choice and I should not be disappointed so much.

I hate the story I hate how what they too the characters and their motivations and what the characters do in this game. I truly think what they did to these character is f****** disgusting a lot of people are going to defend this game and that's their right that's fine but some of the decisions that the characters making this game make no f****** sense and this just shows that lately sequels and and series is have been having the worst and **** story-driven games and a long time and it's really sad because a lot of these could be good. Joel death is sad but the way he died and how he died is very dumb that's not how he would have died in the first game but in the sequel after four years apparently he's just dumb now was disgusting and should have been in the game and the ending is a big smack to the face to anyone who wanted to see Justice to what this big burly woman did to the Joel.I truly hope that better storytelling can be applied to games in the future but now we're just stuck with all this sad **** that no one wants ever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am already playing it, and it was not as ambitious a game as they were commenting, those of naughty dog, I have noticed many bugs, a very serious downgrade, and I see that it has the same graphic engine as the first one. Abby's character seems like a robot, what an ugly character, I am playing as fast as possible to be able to kill her in the bloodiest way, because heck how horrible is, I have also noticed some lows of incredible frames, and even so the notes gave it a 96 and almost 100 in all really?, this smells like you paid journalists very well, that game becomes monotonous and continuous in graphics and things to do, the ps4 pro can not over there I suppose I think that in the next generation the graphic change will be noticed a little more and the game will be more fluid in terms of frames. But the story was shattered by the argument of leading Joel into an ambush so easily, such a careful guy, and who didn't help other people, is so stupid. well this game in my opinion is overrated, the score it should have had was a maximum of 70,For people who are used to playing good games, and who have good stories and good graphics, this does not surprise us, it is not innovative and leaves a lot to be desired, rather it seems that the first one is better composed in everything, because even in graphics making comparisons are better in the flashbacks of the moment that joel kills the doctor and runs away with ellie. This game was left to several Junior developers posing as seniors and they destroyed the story as well as the design of the characters that they did not like everyone,overrated score, that game is a 70.

    Absolute waste of money. I stopped playing and I'm not going to bother finishing it either. This game is the equivalent to Game of Thrones Season 8 epic failure! I just don't understand why everything about the first game was destroyed in this sequel. Everything I loved about the 1st installment, gone, just like that! Naughty Dog and Sony blew it and they were warned! The fans spoke after the leaks and told them what they didn't like. Naught Dog, Sony, and personally Neil Druckman himself, verbally attacked and criticized fans of being racists and misogynists, and assured fans the game would be loved by everyone. This game is an absolute blunder and will probably go down as the WORST sequel in video game history! Did Sony really think fans wouldn't notice the fake paid for "Critic Reviews"? Who are they trying to fool?
    The only good thing I can honestly say without a doubt, the graphics are SUPERB!!!! Big props to Naughty Dog on the graphics! Mouth-dropping attention to detail! I will say the graphics are even better than God of War 4!

    7 Years ago we were given a game that captured our hearts in its story telling, a game that built a relationship between 2 characters that disliked each other at first, however by the end of that game you had an unimaginable bond between the two.

    The Last of Us Part II takes that game, and throws it in a dumpster then sets it on fire. This game failed in many ways to its predecessor.

    The Last of Us Part II takes that game, and throws it in a dumpster then sets it on fire. This game failed in many ways to its predecessor. The characters you loved from the first game are not the same. The bold and harsh decisions made for you in the first game were justified. In this game they are forced and used as shock value. The gameplay is extremely repetitive by the half way point its almost tiresome to play. The cut scenes make up 11 hours of this game, yes, over half of this game you are forced to watch this hideous story play out. The other half you are forced to play as a character 99% of people do not wish to play.

    The hate on this game is not because of the social agendas being pushed so heavily, rather, its drawn out repetitive gameplay, terribly written story, and Neils promise to us (Part 1 fans) that this game was meant for us. I cannot believe that you built such an amazing world and characters only to tear it down rather than build it up.

    The gameplay is dated. Even on the PS3 games where you can only travel on a set narrow path and trigger cutscenes were being outdated by open world games where you are free to explore.

Things happen to the key characters that are bad decisions, you have no agency to craft the story the way you want it, like with RPGs and other open world games, you have to go along with the fixed set story if you like it or not, again this is dated game design. The whole game is overly violent and hard to play through. I wouldn't recommend this, there are much better games to play on the PS4. Expand
