    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here goes my review after playing it for a long time . The first game was really good, and the second too. What makes me give it a 0? How to mess up a whole history that has been developed for many years in a couple of minutes. The game play, the graphics , places , characters, and everything was perfect for me , but it’s hard to see how you can mess a game so much just changing the merely history , just for that , all the hard work of animators , creators and more stuff comes to the trash just for a bad ending and I wasn’t expecting it to be a happy ending , but either the worse ending I have ever seen , I might not be able to understand the true meaning to this ending but for me it was crap, I tried to defend this game from a long time but after this, all that I can say is “ buy it if you want to spend some couple of hours enjoying a good gameplay and not caring about the history then buy it . But if you are looking for a master piece history then please make your self a favor and don’t buy it Expand

    This game is incredible. The story, the animations and graphics, the gameplay, the acting... I could go on. The only issue I had with it is there was a little bit too much world building through reading notes. It sometimes felt if you wanted to experience the full story you had to stop your progression through the game every few steps so you can stop and read a note

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolute crap story tbh,Character’s actions don’t make sense and No I’m not saying this cause Joel died
    What Joel would have wanted?
    Lmfao damn you’re dumb
    Even Ellie herself told Tommy that “If it was one of us,Joel would have been midway through Seattle”
    Joel would have never forgave Abby for killing ellie,Tf you talking about
    The story is absolute bs
    A lot of things don’t make sense at all
    Joel and Tommy trust a whole ass gang and enter their lodge just like that? (keep in mind Joel didn’t trust ellie when they first met lol) a gang that is out near Jackson for absolutely no reason you trust them with your names and where you live,Wow Ellie’s story is so similar to top Characters Kratos and John Wick
    And guess what?These 2 never stopped till they got revenge.
    Did they know there were consequences?
    Yes they did
    Did they still take the revenge road?
    Absolutely and they have nothing to regret
    The game is about Forgiveness?? Lmao
    Then why did the character who forgave loses everything while the other who got revenge got away and will probably live happily ever after with lev and the fireflies while Ellie Lost Joel,Tommy,Jesse,Dina & JJ,Her finger and the ability to play the guitar which was the only thing left from Joel btw and pretty much herself
    Yeah exactly poor writing.
    You know,Those 3 characters had their enemy between their hands.
    Let’s see what each did
    Kratos:Beat the **** out of his “FATHER” till he died
    John Wick:Shot the dude who Killed his “PUPPY” instantly Ellie:AbBy i’Ll lEt YoU gO ._.
    This story is so bad lmao
    Notice how I said “Father” and “puppy”?
    Cause if Kratos was not willing to forgive his father and John couldn’t let go of a Puppy then Ellie surely shouldn’t have let Abby live.
    And you guys notice how all Males die (Expect Tommy who gets paralyzed) I just found that interesting And the story doesn’t make sense at all when you think about Our mentality (as humans)
    Pretty sure most of us would kill the hell out of Abby if we were Ellie,Cause if someone kills someone close to me and I have him/her between my mercy,I would torture them to death.
    And that’s why this game sucks.

    the story of this game is completely garbage, the fact that this is supposed to be a story based game yet the story itself is the worst thing about it is why its just not worth it. The 2nd half where you play as Abby is trash as she's just an unlikeable character all around which doesn't make the game fun. Also wtf was that ending?

This on the level of Game Of Thrones series finale disappointment. I don't mind about the political, trans, SJW elements, or even the death of a character. I thought they were all brave and engaging choices. The visuals/art of the game are incredible as well. Nothing wrong with the technical. What I have a problem is the lazy, heavy handed, hollow, and failed narrative it TRIES to pull off at the end. It blows my mind that they couldn't see this coming. Did they really think they could introduce us to a new character/narrative that is SOO good that we forget what we fell in love with in the first game and are willing to forgive the destruction of that. If Neil/ND are actually going to take their own 'moral of the story' from this game, then there shouldn't be a Part 3 or any humans dying in the hands of our protagonist in any of their games from now on. They killed their own franchise. And their fanbase. Unforgivable. Expand

    Ellie was the best part of this game.

    Joel's death and showing him as a trusting person who is willing to help others is not true to his character and this game ruined everything that was great about the first one.

    I cant help but feel this game was more about virtue signalling then paying respect to the gamers who waiting years for this sequel.

The problem is not the coldness and cruelty of that world, but the lack of purpose. Revenge for revenge is lost in this. There is no nobility or overcoming or an honorable quest and ascension. There is only the stupidity of two protagonists fighting each other in a bloody moral degradation. Understand: There is no use for technical excellence in an empty background. A game that leaves nothing at the end besides a bitter taste in the mouth and nothing to renew hope. They lost the chance to do something historic in order to be realistic. There are thousands of examples of descent overcoming, with self-knowledge and psychological maturity. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredibly disappointing! Combat and gameplay slightly improved from the last game, but the story is god awful. Ellie doesn't feel like Ellie. Joel's decision at the end of the last game is declared fundamentally WRONG, and he's a bad person who needs to make it right. No profound moral dilemma, just a hamfisted message about the "cycle of vengeance", and a depressing one at that. Druckmann was allowed a little too much creative freedom, and as a result, the game doesn't know what it wants to be. It tries to do several things at once, and fails intensely at all of them. Naughty Dog has broken their consistent cycle of quality, and sh*t the bed in one of the biggest franchises in
    AAA gaming. The ending leaves WAY too much open to interpretation, making it impossible to predict the likelihood of a sequel. If they do make a third game, I hope they steer far away from what they've done here! 1 OUT OF 10! Joel deserved better!

    Post Script: Just remembered all the early advertisements for this game, and how prominent Joel's character was in them. We were all lead to believe that Joel would be very important to this next game, and Ellie's motivation would be the death of Dina. Naughty Dog literally LIED in their advertising. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS LACK OF TRANSPARENCY BY PURCHASING THE GAME, TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO PAID FULL PRICE TO BE DEPRESSED FOR 20+ HOURS! SAVE YOUR MONEY!

    Considering how this franchise has done its best to nurture a relationship between its two main characters, this trainwreck of a game is a blatant slap in the face of the fans. The beautiful graphics can't make a bad written game enjoyable. It's such a shame...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: level design / voice acting / atmosphere

    Middle ground: gameplay - it contributes to the atmosphere yet at times is very repetitive

    Cons: Writing

    First off, the whole premise of the game feels wrong. At the end of 1, we`re left with two questions. How`s Ellies and Joels relationship going to develop and what about the cure. Both do not play a part in 2.

    Their relationship evolves through flashbacks, which are more about Ellies journey (clinging to revenge + forgiving Joel for his lie and maybe herself for accepting it). To me they lacked weight and emotion bc Joel was already dead.

    The cure doesn`t matter at all. Why didn`t the remaining fireflies take the notes about the surgery with them? Is Abbys dad the only doctor left in the world? Mel could have tried. If sacrificing herself was so important to Ellie, why did she go back to Jackson instead of trying to locate the remaining Fireflies - after travelling back to Boston all by herself?

    The story evolves through various conveniences and plot holes: Why is the gate open, when Joel, Tommy and Abby ride for her friends. A hole in the fence, so that Ellie can slip through just in time to watch Joel die. Why is Mel allowed to go on a mission, considering she`s pregnant and humanity is dying out? Why does Abby take Yara with her to go after Lev? She only got one arm, just went trough the amputation and is a huge liability. Etc.

    People acting out of character: Joel and Tommy giving away information to armed strangers, when Joel would`ve killed Henry and Sam in 1 and could smell an abush from a mile away. Ellie screaming Joels name when she finds the hutt but doesn`t jet know who`s inside. Abbys group not guarding the house when seconds ago there was a horde outside. Or them letting Ellie and Tommy go, when the WLF sure has a habbit of letting people off the hook easyly.

    Trying to depict a brutal and gritty and therefore real world, yet everybody shooting at you does have unlimmitted ammo, you can get all wet but your gear still works, the body types of Abby and fat-man-slaver at the end in a world where nobody gets enough food, or your attack-dog usually going straight after every Scar (i.e. Lev and Yara in the aquarium) but can still be sneaky silent, when you go into stealth mode yourself.

    Trying to make the player feel guilty by having NPCs shout out names when you kill their comrades is pathetic, bc you get forced to do so plenty of times. The gamplay doesn`t change at all and therefore doesn`t reflect Ellies or moreso Abbys realization that violence isn`t always the way to go.

    The structure of the game is the worst part of it: It should have been about Abby and her crew. Getting to know them and building up an emotional attachement. You should have revealed that they`re hunting Joel somwhere in the middle or right at the end. That would`ve created conflict for the player. Instead you introduce Abby as Joels killer and expect the player to sympathise with her afterwards. In about 10 hours, when we had a whole game growing used to Joel and Ellie.
    I wonder why people don`t like her.

    Speaking of Abby: To me she`s a sociopath. Not only does she kill Joel, she tortures him (he himself did no such thing) and then proceeds to play with dogs and joking around with Manny as if nothing happend. No remorse.

    One could argue, that she rescues Yara and Lev to attone for her deeds, but it isn`t made clear. A game is a visual experience. Leaving that much up to interpretation is fine for books or if you have a capable live action actor. What`s your message worth when people don`t get it? What`s the moral here? Go brutally murder sb and never pay the price for it. As long as you`re nice to some random kids you`ll be fine (losing her friends is no punishment, bc the player didn`t spend enough time with them to get invested).

    Same goes for Ellie. It`s an internal struggle about forgiving Joel and herself, yet she never earns that. Hunting Abby, killing thousands, giving up on her family. Even at the end, when she travells a considerable amount of miles and has time to rethink, she still wants to kill Abby. But the player is to believe that an image of Joel playing guitar is enough to let Abby go free, when Ellie never showed enough doubt along the way.

    If I´d be fair, I´d give it a 5/10. Maybe even a 7/10 if it wouldn`t be a sequel to 1. But for striking down youtubers left and right, for proudly stating you wanted to make a controversial game and then whining when there`s controversy, for payed reviews, for accusing people to not like strong females or whatever kind of representation when the only thing they do is call out the flaws in your story and most importantly for false advertisement ND gets a 0/10.

    Only way this`ll turn out okay is, if there is a 3. But now it won`t be made, bc no one is going to by it.

    I have been waiting 7 years for this game. I already expected Joel death But NOT LIKE THIS!

    I already super depressed about HK problem and I am now in another country and looking for a job.

    I just wanted to escape the reality a bit and enjoy what Ellie and Joel facing in Part 2. Then what kind of **** you feeded me? Joel and Tommy become an Idiots, After 10 hrs playing, feel like final battle with Addy and you need me to control that **** murderer for another 10 hours? WTF?And even her story, enemy and weapon even better than Ellie? You know what, everyone dont **** care her story. We just wanted her died. NOW

    Either you are crazy, or you just think we will just accept all thing like the Joel and Tommy in the game. Even we play Addy first. The reason of killing Joel is not convincing.... remember Joel just saved her **** life.... so did the Levs. Why she kill Joel without hesitating then agaisnt her ex-friend because of Levs. It doesnt make any sense.

    And finally, Ellie already give up revenge, you force her to revenge. Kill ton of people then give up when almost killed her? WTF. And she lost everything because this revenge? How about Addy, she revenge To Joel then why story show she is “good guy” and Ellie is “bad guy”? Come on, this is the end of world! Everything is “Grey” and no right or wrong. Political correct is just bull**** in that world.

    BTW, I am gay and I am Asian. Dont use us as an excuse to cover up your ****ty story. And political correct, right? Then why make joke for asian ONLY? So Asian doesnt need political correct?

    I am from Hong Kong, I am not going to snowflake, just wondering your definition of “political correct”. Part 1 got a lot of political correct thing either like gay and lesbian. But to be honest, I dont care if Ellie is lesbian or even Joel is gay. If the story is good, they will be good. You even doesnt need to write more bull**** like part 2 to make them “correct”.

    Finally, The Last of Us only got Part 1. Joel lie to Ellie and having happy life in Jackson. The End.

    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.
