    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first last of us is my all time favourite game out of any video game, the characters in it, such as Joel and Ellie, they grew on me and seeing their relationship evolve to that of a father and daughter, I loved it, and it felt so natural. Then I saw the part 2 leaks and yeah like most people I wasnt happy, but i decided to go in with an open mind thinking maybe it will play out well. I was wrong. I definitely enjoyed the first couple of hours, getting to know some of the new characters as well as how Ellie has developed throughout the years, but then after only the first couple of hours out of a 30 hour or so game, they killed off Joel. This made me mad, not that Joel died, yes I was sad about that but about how quickly he died in the game, to me it felt rushed and killing off people's favourite character in only that short amount of time, which I was also mad about the fact that Joel just trusted the people in the resort so quickly, what happened to the Joel who was always on guard and didn't trust anyone?? Anyways that happened but I decided to stick through it and play on, because i did want to get revenge for Joel as Ellie. I loved playing as Ellie in the first part of the game, i had no problems with that, but then we get to the second part. Abby. Also known as Joels killer. I want to know what the hell was going through the writers heads when they decided we would want to play as our favourite characters murderer? But anyways I played as her, killed her a few times just to get my own revenge, and then we get to the Ellie part again. Now this was the part that just completely ruined the game for me, I stuck through it thinking with some hope it would get better, but nope. Ellie now has a family with Dina and JJ after getting beaten up by Abby and she decides to drop it all to go after Abby again, this didn't bother me, I was actually rooting for Ellie to go after her but then we do. And when Ellie was on the brink of getting her revenge she lets her go... This had me nearly throw my controller at the screen, i was fuming. The first part of the game was Ellie going and killing people that was in the same room as her when Joel died and finding out where Abby was, she even killed a pregnant lady, so for her to let her go at the last minute didn't make any sense. She left her family, she's killed a lot of people just to get to this one person, her friend has also died because of this person and she lets her go? It just didn't add up and if the writers were trying to send a message out they failed. They actually want firing. To me the game was trying to force upon political agendas, trying to get us to care about characters i would rather violently torture and it was just a big mess. Honestly it ruined me, the only joy I got out of playing this game was the actual gameplay, the graphics and the flashbacks of Joel and Ellie. Afterall that was the reason I wanted to play the game, to see there relationship as Father and daughter and get the old banter the two had from the first game, I hardly got any of that. Instead I was forced to play as a character i seriously wanted to kill and that I could care less about and I was forced to sit through a **** story. If anyone has gotten to the end of this long rant then i highly recommend not wasting your money on this game. After 7 years, they give us that, i think we deserve an apology as well as a rewrite of the story.… Expand

The thread bare plot that tried too hard to force the story along through poor character interactions and deviations from the characters as we know them as established in the first game. So many other issues that I honestly makes me angry just thinking about them. Only reason this gets a three is for the graphics and acting. Do not waste the time with this game… Expand

    I don't usually listen to the voices that say everything is terrible, and whine about how someone can ruin "Their" game when nothing that game companies create belong to them.

    And honestly I can understand why some people might be sour on this game. But it's not a zero, it's so far from a zero. The graphics are gorgeous, the combat is fluid, the atmosphere is tense and engaging.

    This game is good, for me it was great, like the original last of us there is no happy end, and everything is finished but it feels empty, the same feeling I had after the first game.

    I very much enjoy this game, if you aren't sure you're going to like this game I recommend you just wait and buy it when the price drops.    … Expand

    After waiting for so long for this game and the director said himself no one cares about the characters more than us. and that's the story we're giving major plot holes and ending so bad that the writers of the sopranos are like at least we didn't do that. This makes the story of not only this game but the 1st game completely irrelevant

    I gave this game a 4/10 just because of the production, the graphics and the soundtrack. The rest is awful. The story and the character development that were the richest part of the franchise just disappeared. The fact that there were so many plot wholes and so much incoherence on the development of the story is infuriating.

The story and the character development that were the richest part of the franchise just disappeared. The fact that there were so many plot wholes and so much incoherence on the development of the story is infuriating. I cloud not mind the fact that Joels dies, I honestly could, but to TURN HIM INTO A VILLAIN that's where you lose me. To degrade him and his essence the way they do is just disgusting. I am not saying that I am mad about him dying, but THE WAY that is what makes me mad. Then they put these flashbacks that just made me sad and angry because I KNOW I won't see him again. Then, the fact that Ellie literally looses her essence and that they try to make us see her as the enemy? like Abby is a good person?!?! like what the hell!!!??? And the next thing I am saying is WHY I HATED THE WHOLE GAME. They made us play like 12 hours of Ellie, we see her do things that are wrong, she tortures, she kills, she gets herself in this revenge mode that blinds her of her principles and moral. THEN WE HAAVE TO PLAY 10 HOURS AS ABBY, an awful human being that just killed Joel, that doesn't regret anything she does. And we are supposed to feel empathy for her? like she is a good person? she thinks that because life hit her hard, she has an immunity card that gives her the right to act the way she does. She doesn't regret killing or torturing or simply putting people at risk. And this is the part where Ellie is different. We see REGRET and SADNESS and ANGER towards everything she does, she KNOWS its wrong. And that is because of Joel, all the things that he taught her, because she becomes the human being he wanted her to be, a good human in the messed up world the live in. Thats why we see remorse in her actions. We see that she feels sick because of what she does. And all those moments when she acts like a "crazy person" are because of the emotional state she is in, she is in greave, she is blinded because of all those emotions, and most of the things that she does are in self defense!. Also, She defends her friends and would never turn her back on them. Abby doesn't care, she is a selfish, badly developed character. Joel and Ellie deserved more and that is just a FACT. I feel so bad for giving this score and this review, but this game is so bad that I just have to.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would not recommend this game be played by anyone. The original Last of Us was an excellent game. Easily a 8 or a 9 out of 10. Its greatest asset, of course, was its story. It was relatively simple; however, it was executed masterfully which resulted in a gripping and emotional experience that attached you to the characters and immersed you in the world. I had always thought that TLOU was always about parenthood. Specifically, the theme was that a parent will do absolutely anything to protect their child. Even if it meant giving up the world. TLOU2 on the other hand, is all about hate (according to the director himself). More specifically, it's about revenge, and how an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind (unless you're a buff woman, then you get to keep one). Honestly, the themes present in this game don't build upon the one's in the first game. TLOU took place in a bleak, violent post-apocalyptic world, but revenge was never present as a motif. TLOU was about parenthood and survival. Survival is still present in the sequel, but parenthood is mostly thrown to the wayside. Replacing it is revenge which is clumsily handled. In the first two hours, the beloved protagonist of the first game, Joel, is brutally murdered by some woman named Abby who's the daughter of a doctor that Joel killed in the first game. Abby cruelly tortures Joel before killing him and is even shown to take sadistic pleasure in doing it. Meanwhile, Ellie, Joel's adoptive daughter, watches as Abby kills Joel right in front of her. Abby spares Ellie, so Ellie chases down Abby to try and kill her to get revenge. After Joel's death, every player is think the same thing as Ellie: I'm going to kill that **** However, that never comes. At the end of the game, Ellie forgives and spares Abby's life (even though Ellie's already killed a bunch of Abby's friends). Abby also bites off Ellie's fingers and Ellie returns home to find that her girlfriend left her and she can't play guitar anymore. The game left me feeling empty. I wasn't satisfied or entertained by the story at all. I guess that's what they were going for, but what's the point of a game that makes you feel like **** Other games with unhappy endings (like Mad Father) usually at least entertain me or leave me with something interesting to think about. This game's theme was explained to me by my father when I was 5 years old. "Two wrongs don't make a right." I'm going to go replay the first game and pretend like this game doesn't exist. Okay, so the story sucks (which is a big problem considering how heavy the story is in this game), but it is still a video game, so is it fun to play? Yup. The gameplay is fun. Certainly an improvement over the first game, but it certainly isn't going to blow your mind. Unfortunately, while the game may be much longer than the first game, it lacks a multiplayer mode. I spent dozens of hours playing multiplayer in the first game, so it's a real shame that it's absent. It would've been a good opportunity to have some more fun with these game mechanics. At the very least, I don't need to renew my PS Plus membership. The gameplay still doesn't save this because this is a story focused game. The story sucks, so the gameplay isn't really able to support it. The graphics are great and the music's fine, but ultimately, this game isn't worth $60. The gameplay's fun, but the story is so bad that it poisons the whole experience. But I don't like to leave on a downer, so I've got some good games for you. Want a revenge story staring a young woman? Try out Tales of Bersersia. It's got a great story, great characters, great development, and it's 75% off on Steam until June 25th. You want a survival horror third person shooter? Try out Resident Evil 4. It's got shooting, roundhouse kicking, monsters, a goofy story, and oodles of replay value. It's only $20 on Steam and it's available on every console known to man. You want some stealth action gameplay? Go and play Metal Gear Solid V. There is literally like 7 ways you can sneak through each level, and you've got more stealth tools than you'll know what to do with! In short, don't play this game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Anyone who was a fan of the original game for the balance between story, puzzles, and fighting.. prepare to be disappointed. The only character that is interesting is gone and you are forced to play as the villain of the story without a choice. They try to make you feel empathy but it only made me not want to play the game more than I already didn't. The game's unlikeable characters, morose Ellie, and lack of Joel gives no good elements to the game. The graphics are good. yea.. and? The gameplay has barely been tweaked and the way the story is jack **** I had to force myself to play through with Abby, and even then I was hoping to watch her friends die at some point. This game tries to make you feel bad for the enemy and fails horribly. If anything this has only shown me that naughty dog has gone the way of EA and Bethesda, selling out for a good dollar. Congrats on your bad game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, spent 2 days playing the game here what I have to say, the graphics and game play is good that deserves credit at the very least. They put a message but I didn't really care who if ellie was a lesbian. It was going cause problems for some but I was more invested in the story. I enjoy the beginning of the game seeing the outcomes of Joel decision but of course I gotten to that dreadful point in the game where joel just gave a bunch of strangers his name after savingthim. And they return the kindness of straight up murdering and butchering the character even though joel told ellie to not say his name so lightly anymore. But yet he gave his name to people he saved a d was crucified by them. One way to piss of fans. As I play afterward the only thing kept me going was to kill abby(Joel killer) but the more I play I realized that they were making ellie seemed more and more like a monster and it felt as if the game has lost it original idea that it was a survival zombie game. Then the next slip up I had to play abby and was force to watch joel death a second time making me want to kill her more even her action thought my time playing as ellie drive me to get revenge for ellie new family that was also getting killed off by abby
    These next few hours of playing the game had me well killing abby every chance I got. Well when it was finally all said and done I was sick of the game, the story had put me off. I finally was at the point that I was able to avenge joel and abby new family but as the final moment where ellie had the upper hand she let abby go
    Ellie let the murder go after killing all of the people that where responsible for killing joel. Let go of the person that actually killed him. I said **** this game and took it to my local game stop to get a better game.
    For the graphics and the little actually game play gives it the + but due to a waist of time of a story and a journey that's at a - so I think a 3 out of 10 is about right. That story was ruin. The game made me feel like everything I did was bad. It force me to play a character I didn't like. And killed off a character for the sake of drama. For the last part it completely destroyed all of your efforts in the first game.    … Expand

    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.
