    I bought a ps4 for TLOU because I heard the story was like playing a movie. I had seen the leaks for this 1 so I was skeptical, but I decided to do research and I'm glad I did. My advice is watch a gameplay before you buy cause it saved me 60 bucks. The game mechanics are the same and the story has this obvious undertone of sexism. I will not buy this game

Leave on for 30-40 minutes, then pat dry well on paper towels.
    2. Heat oil and butter in a thick-walled flat skillet over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and place potatoes in one or a maximum of two layers and fry without stirring for 5-7 minutes.
    3. Then stir a little, add chopped onion and fry for 15–20 minutes, trying to stir the potatoes as rarely and gently as possible so as not to destroy the bars. Finally, add salt and pepper to taste. Few dishes are as popular as fried potatoes. But there are a couple of points that you need to remember: stirring the potatoes should be less often, and before you start frying, you should soak the potatoes for half an hour so that the excess starch disappears. All the details that will help you master the art of frying potatoes are in our recipe.    … Expand

    Initially, the gameplay is incredible, I loved the avoidance mechanics and the speed of the fighting and etc., Artificial Intelligence is incredible as they coordinate to flank or make Patrol Routes, the Scenarios are also amazing especially Santa Barbara in the end, however the story disappointed me in some ways, i did like some parts but i was too frustrated with Joel's death, in my opinion they could have better used this great character or at least given a dignified death or even put gameplay with him, Abby seemed having no remorse for killing Joel and looking more like a psychopath with a pleasure in killing, while Ellie regretted and was intent on killing Mel and Owen and almost killing Abby.
    In my opinion it is still worth buying the game because of its fun gameplay, I still have fun today after platinizing and playing several times in testing aggressive stealth fighting and etc.    … Expand

    I'll start of by saying I've never done a review on a game, but I couldn't stay quiet on this one. There's plenty of reviews on The Last of Us Part 2 that say what's wrong with the game so I won't go into detail, but I will say that I will personally boycott Naughty Dog what a waste of money. People who claim other people are intolerant because they say there was an agenda at play here are either blind or naive of course there was an agenda here. The last of us part 1 was the reason I decided to purchase the 2nd part and I didn't read into the reviews, what a mistake that was. Next time I will trust the reviews "Gamers" add and forget about company's that are paid off to spew lies. Forgetting the whole agenda thing the story was completely ridiculous why Naughty Dog would take the player through a rollercoaster of nonsense is beyond me. Ah 2020 what a year, World War 3 almost starts Covid, police brutally, idiots trying to dismantle every police force, the koalas, and the death of The Last of Us.

    ****KIND OF A SPOILER BUT NOT REALLY**** One example of a ridiculous story Story line

    Why a pregnant woman would decide to go to a known warzone is beyond me, and when she's asked what the baby daddy will say she basically replies we'll he's not the boss of me and I'll go anyways.

Then it drops from a 3-5/10 to a 0/10. This is a pathetic excuse for sequel especially for a game like the last one. It is lazy, stupid, and rushed. It is really sad to see. You would expect them to have made a really good game with the amount of time they had but they didn't and someone with their talent creating this game? There is no excuse for it. They just wanted the money. That is why I'm giving it 0/10. I know they can do a lot better but they choose to bring this game to the table.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a mess from the very beginning. The way that Joel was killed was completely out of character and a spit in the face to anyone that completed the first game. I had a feeling going into this game that Joel would die, but it’s how he went out that is a sorry excuse for shock value. And the worst part is that this isn’t even the reason why most people including myself are upset. We all waited 7 years to play Ellie’s story only for it to be interrupted by a 10 hour sequence that disengages you from the plot in hopes of changing your already despicable view of the game’s worst character. Instead of embracing Abby’s point of view, I found myself cheering at any misfortune that came her way. The game tries so hard to make the player empathize with Abby and feel compassion for her but completely fails. Even by forcing you to save the life of two children, play fetch with dogs, and watch her lose all of her friends, I still wanted nothing more than for Abby to die at the end of the game. Which brings me to my final point... I almost could’ve forgiven every other mistake or missed opportunity in this absolute dump truck of a story. But when the ending finally arrives after 30 hours of a dragging narrative, Ellie’s choice to let Abby go ruins any last chance this game had. It left me feeling unsatisfied and wishing I had never even played it. Gameplay and graphics alone have never been able to carry a linear narrative game like this before and this is no exception. People don’t buy PlayStation exclusives looking for the best looking or feeling game ever. People buy PlayStation exclusives because they have always told an incredible story and given us characters that we feel a connection to. The Last of Us Part II not only didn’t do that, but actually diminished a little bit of that great reputation. I highly recommend people to not purchase this game as I think they will find it a journey of disappointment and dissatisfaction.… Expand

    This game looks....okay? The scenery looks good, but the characters models look kinda derpy. You can especially see it when you look at Ellie's eyes look really derpy compared to the first game. The combat system is fine. I don't really have any complaints about it, it can be a bit clunky at certain moments though.
    The story...oh no the story. I can't even begin to explain how ABYSMAL & DISASTROUS the story is without spoiling it, yes it's that bad, trust me! All I can say that stuff happens for no reason, Ellie & Joel's personalities are completely swapped & the lessons they've learned/character developments in the first game are completely thrown out the window (you'll see why when you play it), & the ending was just...I can't explain in any other words other than bad, It's just bad. The story is the true reason why my rating is a 0.

    In conclusion, I cannot recommend this game to fans who played the first game nor to anyone that likes good storytelling. It's not worth $60, please don't waste your money on this. Get Cyberpunk 2077 instead!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers ahead.

    So, in this game you're forced to sympathize and empathize with a new character, Abby, which father you killed in the first game as Joel. The doctor was the only (...) doctor who were able to safe the world (...).
    Joel dies in the first ~ 2 hours of the game, which i'm fine with. I'm also fine with how he dies.
    But i'm not fine with playing for 10 - 15 hours with this annoying new super hulk character (Abby), in which i have zero interest in. Neither do i have any interest in any of their friends.

    I wanted do enjoy and play the game as Ellie, but nope. Play as Abby and feel what she feels. There were not a second i gave a **** about her.

    The most annoying thing is the end of the game:
    You, as Ellie, have a fist fight against Abby. On the way finding Abby you killed hundred of people, just to get her location and get your revenge. Then, you finally reached your goal and find Abby, you're fighting her and you're about to drown her, but then, you stop. Because revenge is bad and you feel bad if you kill her.
    WTF.
    Anyway: Plot holes and bad writing everywhere. Glad i got the game physically and can sell it again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know it's just a freakin' game and should put aside my emotions when rating but I found the game very very depressing when compared to the first game. I don't mind the ultra-brutality of the gameplay but in the story, there is tragedy after tragedy after tragedy and it almost never stops. And i must admit that when Joel died I got really depressed. Characters die one after another. There is not a moment of relief or even a glimpse of it because as you play the game you can already assume that everything will end bitterly.

    To a newcomer of this game I would likely recommend this but to those who have played and loved The Last of Us Part I, I give this warning that this sequel is something that may probably devastate you. But if you are brave enough, be sure to try this one and if you are not then pretend that this sequel does not exist at all and Joel and Ellie are still living peacefully ever after.

    There's a huge dissonance between gameplay and cutscenes that really make this story less believeable than the first.

    Ellie, the main protagonist is fine with killing hundreds of people with no remorse or regrets during gameplay, but the moment a cutscene start... she feels regret? I'm sorry what about all the people you killed on your way there?
    I had a hard time getting invested in that game, I pulled myself through it and regret wasting my time on it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Imagine watching the original trilogy of Star Wars where you follow the story of Luke Skywalker all the way up till Cloud City where he has his first duel against Darth Vader, only to have the scene cut away as Luke and Darth Vader draws their lightsaber. Now imagine spending the next 12 hours watching the prequel trilogy before you're allowed to watch the duel unfold. This is what it feels like to play TLOU2.

    The problem with TLOU2 is that it contains two stories but the game is only capable of telling half of each. When a game sells itself as a narrative-driven game the story is the crux of the game. No amount of great graphics and good gameplay can save a horribly broken story.

    A story begins, and end with, its characters. In TLOU1 we are given the whole game to explore and develop the relationship between Joel and Ellie. It allows us enough time to understand the characters and connect with them on an emotional level. Not so for TLOU2. In TLOU2 we are given half the time to interact with two sets of characters from different POVs. The game did not give us time enough to care for any of the new characters. This is made abundantly clear when the crux of the game's story is told over 3 days of game-time, as opposed to the year we spent as Ellie and Joel in TLOU1. TLOU1 gave us plenty of idle dialogues between Ellie and Joel throughout the game while also providing us with meaningful interaction between the two characters in cutscenes. TLOU2 did not do justice to any of the relationships between the characters. Playing as Ellie, we never get to experience how she develops her relationship with Dina and Jesse. We as players are just told they're our new companions, with very few actual on-scene interactions that portrays their relationships in a meaningful way. On the other hand, while playing as Abby, the game keeps relying on flashbacks to tell us why we should care about these new characters but their execution just jars you out of the moment instead of keeping you in the moment. The end result is players are left wanting for a more fleshed-out relationships between all the characters.

    Going into the more nitpicky bit, how did Ellie and Dina managed to setup their farm house in such a hostile environment? It is clear that the farmhouse isn't a 5 minute walk from Jackson since Tommy showed up with his backpack, implying there is quite a bit of travel involved to get to the house. What made even less sense was the house was left practically untouched upon Ellie's return. Someone who knows Dina lived could've asked to live in that sweet real estate since Dina decided to leave it. The alternative would be the house should've been overrun by clickers or occupied by some hostile bandits in the intervening time between Dina leaving and Ellie returning. How exactly did the house remain so pristine?

    Another nitpicky bit I had issue with was who in their right mind would send and/or allow a pregnant woman to participate in combat? Never mind that the pregnant woman is the best doctor they have in a post-apocalypse world. Naysayers are gonna swarm in and say 'she wasn't sent on a combat mission' but that's just **** The moment they leave the safety of their base they are entering a hostile environment and are prepared for combat, or they wouldn't have armed themselves to the teeth. There were also a few instances were any normal pregnant woman not named Mel would've suffered a miscarriage if they were put in the exact same situation, but Mel being Mel, she is able to shrug off the inconvenient realities of being pregnant and just keep going.

    The last nitpicky thing is the ending. The game tries to setup Ellie and Abby as two sides of the same coin, mirroring each other throughout the game. In their first encounter Abby let Ellie go because she had no idea who Ellie was, and this sets off Ellie's revenge quest. The second time they encounter each other Ellie has killed all of Abby's friends, and Abby again decides to let her go. The third time they meet Ellie was on the verge exacting her revenge, only to let Abby go at the very end. Since they are a mirror of each other, who is to say Abby won't later decide to come back and seek vengeance against Ellie for all her friends Ellie killed? Ellie had a nice life with Dina in the farmhouse and decides to throw it all away to pursue Abby. Abby, being a mirror of Ellie, could do the same thing seeing as she held onto her grudge against Joel for 4-ish years.    … Expand
