    If you expect the great storytelling like we have in Part 1, DONT!!
    Not sure what happened with the writing, but it feels like the original was directed by Christopher Nolan. And out of nowhere John Wiseau came and took over Part II.
    The Last of Us Part 2 has a really really bad writing, but great graphic, that is all I can say. In Part II you wont find Father-Daughter story anymore,

    In Part II you wont find Father-Daughter story anymore, but instead you will find a woman on steroid running around with 13 years old trans gender kid, trying to kill everyone they meet.

    Literally that is the summary of the game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's begin with the obvious: "If you have a hero already build in and everyone loves him, you do not start the story by killing him". The game lacks of consistency, has too many forced events, also trying to make you feel pity for the evil ones, WTF?? Really?!! I could have written a better story for Joel and Ellie for a second part, What is wrong with you guys at Naughty Dog, why didnt you respect basics??

    We all understand you want to add some social troubles to the game, but instead of creating an enjoyable environment, you guys were like, OMG, we do not have any more ideas, what should we do??, Please keep in mind a game is to entertain for hours and hours, and not to educate, if we want some lecture for anything related to our current Society, we either watch news, read books, or go to the school.

    Naughty Dogs, you should really apologize to all of US, and make a solid statement recognizing you really miss the path with the game and after that make an announcement indicating that you all will FIX this crap as it should be properly done, instead of just seating around in your office spending the money you earn with the love we fans have given to you for this franchise. I hope you Neil will never again write, or direct the game, if there is any other game in the franchise as you and any other writer for this game chapter II, has played as backstabber for the fans of this game.

    Do you know how much we were expecting this game just be let down by "this creative team"? and you do not act like grown ups, accepting the screw up the game and you should apologize and re do it properly.

    I just can't believe it how is it that you took so long to do this game, if this story has so much lack of consistency. I hope honestly that you can fix the game somehow, and re do chapter II even if it takes 3 more years, we fans would be glad to play something descent instead of this "whatever piece of art you want to call it".

    The only good fact on the game were the new people with the fungus,,,, outside that, I just want to cry of the deep deception I have now after playing the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was one of the few that ignored the leaks and spoilers as best as I could. I cannot believe the hatchet job that was done to my favorite game of all time. Killing Joel was definitely a message against the “patriarchy” as at the end you dont even get your revenge and let the killer go. That was the most anticlimactic ending I’ve ever experienced. Game play was tight and guns felt great but I definitely won’t be replaying like I did the original. They wanted to push an agenda in this game and lost a fan in me. I’m done with naughty dog Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the first game so much! i consider it my favorite game of all time because everything was right with this one! Loved especially the characters. So when the 2nd game was announced and Ellie and Joel where in it I was hyped for this game. I did not get spoiled by those leaks and at first I thought: This game is great! It looks absolutely gorgeous, has so many nice details like the guitar playing. but than the second half of the game happend... where I was forced to play as the antagonist **** that killed my favorite game character of all time.... I hated every second i had to play abby! just run through the levels without collecting or talking to anyone. I wanted to play Ellie again... wanted "my" revenge. I hoped for a God of War like sequence where you can smash the punching button till eternity but noooo.... Abby gets away after she almost killed Ellie... the game was advertised as an revenge story!!! Great revenge Story without delivering in the End... Jesus Christ! Never in my life was i so disappointed and straight up enraged by an "Entertainment Medium"
    So when the Naughty Dog Logo appeared after the game ends all i could shout out was FU!
    I literally singed up here just because i wanna write a negative review for this piece of garbage! Naughty Dog took a huge dump on my Favorite characters and i Hope they get ALL of the **** out there! A god damned **** Hurricane!

No point in being surprised by the reactions now.
    If this was a random game or the first one in the series, no one would have cared about revenge cycle theme, it would probably make a compelling story with all the characters having first time introduction to players. But when you have a well established characters from first game loved by everyone, people expect them to be treated with respect, they want to see more of them and a story centralized towards them and their life experience, not some random ass character killing the characters you were looking forward to playing and preaching about revenge cycle. Sure that would get you shock factor doing something opposite of what everyone wanted to see. But thats what you went for so dont cry about getting polarizing reaction either

The game has an extremely repetitive combat system. To me its a downgrade from the previous game. The graphics were, well, the best I have ever seen. The story though, is what killed the game for me. I don't know if some of the plot decisions made were purely for shock value or if some other reasons were involved as well. But the story was horrible. The new characters were bland and uninteresting. The old ones were out of character. The plot twists did not make any sense. A mess of a story.

    seguinte meu brother, é só gráfico e musica, é só isso que tem de bom, SÓ ISSO não tem literalmente mais nada de bom (e se você acha a jogabilidade boa saiba q é só um pouco diferente do primeiro, então não conta por falta de inovação).

    Way to political.
    Bad story.

    I just want to forget about this game.
    This was the last of it.

    That's how Naught Dog have destroyed a fantastic story. Good work.
    Why did you just attach the fan like this?
    About the plot: is very weak. Why? Simple: The first TLOU is a light story in a darkness world, the second is a dark story in a darkness world. How can it works? All the characters for the first chapter are totally changed. Remember Naughty Dog, because it seems you've forgot

I pray there won’t be a third and honestly if you haven’t played it yet just pretend it doesn’t exist. Let me save you the money. Last of us part 2: Ellie = sad angry emo teenager who’s upset her dad saved her life from a maniac. Abby= daughter of maniac who is equally crazy and literally never gets what she deserves. Joel= dead in the first two seconds and never should’ve been in the trailers Expand

    The Last of us 2…Damn what an amazing emotional, one the darkest roller coaster ride of a game!

    So far my ‘Game of the Year’

    Phew, at last, Ended the game……Got my 1st AAA Platinum!

    Personal Rating: 9.5/10

    Compre el juego y lo único que puedo decir es que fue una decepción desde mi punto de vista, porque no crea un hilo conductor solido entre el primer juego y la segunda parte. Ademas el objetivo del juego es algo predecible y no tan sorprendente.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who studies literature and writes very often this game saddens me to an unmentionable extent. In stories weather it be books, movies, video games, or any format of entertainment, the thing that drives people to continue watching is the fulfillment of promises that are implied to the consumer. This game not only breaks the promises they make, but the plot is seriously inconsistent, forgetting about promises that have been made entirely; leaving the consumer with this feeling of emptiness. Not to mention, the character arcs are just piss poor writing basically being non-existent. Outside of the writing and story, the game follows has a very dated gameplay system and combat system. It feels primitive at times, even borderline inorganic. To me, this is unacceptable in a triple A studio with the amount of manpower that naughty dog has. The world is beautiful, and the graphics are incredible, but it's overshadowed by lazy story writing, and some message (that isn't even clear by the way) being crammed down your throat. I'm not talking about the LGBT stuff, I couldn't care less about that, there are plenty of fantastic television shows/movies/books that have awesome characters that are LGBT, the problem happens when you make a character LGBT for the SAKE of having an inclusive character. Smh, everyone can tell. You can try to ignore it, but it's like having a scratch you can't quite itch. Why? Because it's forced! If you have a screw, you're not going to pound it into a wall with a hammer, that doesn't make any sense. It's the same thing as characters in any form of entertainment. The characters MUST be consistent with the setting. Your characters are your driving force in whatever plot archetype you've decided to use. These characters also have archetypes that were inconsistent throughout the entire game. Joel's death makes no sense because he is not trusting of other people, as is demonstrated multiple times in the first game. That doesn't mean that trait can't change, but it was never even hinted towards that Joel has changed in such a way. The whole game gets my gears grinding. I'm also pissed off because of the good reviews the game has received. I don't get it. Genuinely. I'm also mad because metacritic blocked the negative reviews of this game for a time, I'm tired of censorship. So, my 0 comes from the terrible story writing in combination with how naughty dog responded to the negative player reviews. This is my personal protest. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's not hard to subvert expectations, it was done with The Last Jedi to ill effect. If a game can be a 10 out of 10 and not perfect, then by the same logic it can be a 0. Characters from the second half of the game were very unlikeable and I could not bring myself to empathise with them no matter how hard I tried. This was due to poor pacing and execution of story elements (Joel's death) early on in the game. Naughty dog decided to take a massive dump on beloved characters, trying really hard to make them unlikeable. This is especially true of Ellie. Pandering and pushing an agenda in a post apocalyptic world was another draw back which I will not get into because it has become a very exhausting issue in recent years. The fans wanted one thing and the Studio another. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its hilarious to see the devs giving their own game positive reviews on multiple account, You can totally tell which reviews those are because the person that wrote the review only has 1 review (about this game ha) on their account. It should be illegal to give a product, that you had a hand in creating, a positive review, let alone give it multiple positive reviews..

    This game just has a horribly unbelievable story because in the post apocalypse, people arent going to be worried about transitioning their gender, they are going to be worried about eating. This game just has such a stupid concept. Just really shows how dumb devs really are these days. They cant even grasp simple concepts like that. And it just makes for awful un-immersive games/stories.

    Not to mention that nothing was even mentioned in the first one about gender transition or anything, but the second games comes out, and is pretty much all about gender transition? In the apocalypse? Its just so fkin unbelievable that its ridiculous. You would have to be such a moron to buy this story. Because trust me, when your worried about eating, and being eatin, transitioning your gender is going to be the last thing on your mind..

    The only thing I have a problem with is horrible writing/stories with absolutely no logic or fore-thought put into it/them

    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]
