    I actually finished this game and this is not a review bomb. So this game has about 3 parts to it. The first part I was thinking if they end it here it was a pretty alright game. Then they have me switch characters to play what I did from a different side which while different felt redundant. Then they added a third part which was so unnecessary and annoying for me.

The game is not a 3 because some elements are good such as the graphics and bits and pieces of the story. The gameplay while fun at first got old after about 10 hours. There are a lot of enemies in this game and miles of paths which at some point I just turned the difficulty down all the way to plow through the game and it still took way too long to finish. They could have ended the game 3 different times but instead they keep dragging it on. Overall don’t buy it. Especially for 60. I’d recommend watch a YouTube movie on it or wait till it’s 20 dollars.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. É um jogo simplesmente impressionante, que tem como tema central a vingança. As ações de Joel no primeiro jogo iniciam um ciclo de vingança entre o grupo de Ellie e o de Abby, a filha de um dos médicos assassinados por Joel. A vingança vai destruindo tanto Abby quanto Ellie, assim como tudo e todos em sua volta. Isso fica mais evidente através dos flashbacks, que mostram a beleza do mundo, enquanto a atualidade mostra a destruição. Cada morte gera uma retaliação, formando um ciclo. O ciclo é interrompido somente quando elas desistem de buscar a vingança e seguem em frente. Gráficos e jogabilidade impressionantes, assim como novos infectados e desafios enfrentados, e uma trilha sonora incrível e personagens bastante cativantes.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every step forward in this game's narrative confirmed my greatest fear: that not only did a sequel never need to exist, but that making one had the very real potential to harm the legacy of two characters we all grew to love over the course of the first game. Worse still, we were sold a false bill of goods. Every advert we saw and every word out of Naughty Dog's mouth told us that we would be going on another journey with Ellie and Joel. We did no such thing. Instead we were treated to Ellie and Joel being brutalized and tossed aside so that Naughty Dog could force upon us a new protagonist that none of us wanted or cared about. The utter contempt with which Naughty Dog treated its own beloved characters and the dishonest way in which they've dealt with the fandom override any and all of the good qualities this game has. What score could I possibly give a game that seemingly exists for no other reason than to trash what I love and spit in my face except zero? (Note that I was forced to give it at least a 1 because the website has decided not to permit reviews giving the game a zero despite zero being an option)… Expand

It starts off a note that feels like the last of us but as its 20-25 hour story progresses on, it becomes something far uglier. A disgracefully misplaced story stacked on top of illogical plot holes and stupidly contradicting character development meant it was one of the most frustrating games I've ever played. The gameplay was good, much the same as the first one and the game looks gorgeous from top to bottom. However it is the creative equivalent to Tommy Wiseau getting to direct the sequel to Citizen Kane. At least in that scenario I could laugh, whereas in this one I just want to cry. Naughty Dog, you should be ashamed of yourselves.… Expand

    Simply the best game I have ever played. It's an incredible sequel to part 1. The story is as wonderful and engaging as the first game, but with more memorable characters. Gameplay, graphics, soundtrack, sound effects, everything is great. Surely TLOU2 wins this year's GOTY.

    The game was ''ok'' until the character switch. Don't care about Abby's perspective. The story should have just focused on Ellie and Joel and then Ellie's revenge. The game was solid but the story was trash. I'll give it a 3/10.

    The only good thing about this game is the graphics and sound design. The story is abysmal in the sense that none of the characters behave as you would expect them to after playing the first game.

It seems the story honestly would be better off if they just left Joel and Ellie alone and has used different protagonists. As I was playing through the game I honestly didn’t care about any of the new characters which is due to the failed writing. Also, one would imagine that when creating a sequel you also attempt to push your gaming mechanics to a new level to raise the bar of gaming and create a fresh experience while maintaining what worked in your previous game. Instead, ND decided to just do a copy and paste of the first TLOU, which feels outdated and out of place in 2020. I honestly had to force myself to finish the game due to a lack of interest or engagement, so I at least would have an trophy to show for the 60 dollars I burned on this game. If you like disappointment, this is the game for you. The game is getting a 3 out of 10 only because of the graphics and sound tbh, the art (with the exception of the character models) and sound design teams deserve applaud, every other team should re-evaluate the work they do and ask themselves if what they’re doing will push the franchise in a positive direction or negative. I will not be buying any future naughty dog games or listening to critic reviews. I would honestly bet critics were threatened to leave good reviews after playing TLOU2.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished the game on survivor difficulty. I’ll start with the things I liked about the game. First of all, it looks beautiful. I stopped multiple times throughout to take in the environment. Pretty amazed they got it to run at a near-constant 30fps. Secondly, I really enjoyed the flashbacks between Joel and Ellie; especially the in the museum. When Joel had Ellie put on a helmet and pretend to take off into space, it brought tears to my eyes. What a cool moment.

    I also enjoyed some of the new additions to the game. Having dogs be able to track your scent was pretty cool. I had fun using the crossbow, and that basement hospital fight against that giant mutated infected (or Rat King, as it’s called) was pretty awesome.

    Sadly, that’s pretty much where my enjoyment ends. I’m not even sure where to start. They did Joel a huge disservice in the way that he died. It is an insult to think that he would abandon all of his past survival skill, knowledge, experience, etc. and mosey on in to this unknown group’s location. How do you go from: ‘I’ve been on both sides’, ‘I’ve struggled for a long time with surviving’, and ‘Don’t trust anyone but yourself’ to: ‘Greetings random group! I will blindly put my faith in you and lower my guard! This is my brother Tommy, and I’m Joel! I killed a doctor that was working on a cure!’ It just doesn’t make sense.

    That brings me to Abby. Holy crap, how unlikeable of a character can Naughty Dog make? You expect me to give a crap about this character at all? I love the feeble attempts ND makes to try so hard to get us to sympathize with her. Let’s see things from her P.O.V and look at her reaction to her dad’s death. Mmm, nope, sorry, don’t care. That ‘shock’ fell short by the way. It was super predictable that she was related to the doctor. Every time I was forced to play as her, it was a struggle to keep going. Why the HELL would you force me to play as Joel’s killer? That 10 hour+ ‘side quest’ culminating at the showdown between the WLF and Scars was awful. At no point did I ever want to play as Abby. And why do I care about some stupid power struggle between these two factions? It was incredibly boring. And to think that in the end, Ellie didn’t even get revenge. I understand the whole ‘act of mercy’ angle, and that Ellie told Joel at the end she was ready to try and forgive him, and that she thought of him when she chose not to drown Abby. But WTF. She escaped death how many times to hunt Abby down?! And then she was going to make peace with the fact that she had to let Abby live. But oh wait, she’s having PTSD because Abby is still alive, so she leaves Dina and JJ (whilst knowing that Dina won’t be there when Ellie gets back), so she tracks down Abby AGAIN. And then she’s like...NAH it’s fine, get out of here ya little rascal :) I felt very little satisfaction by the end of the game. Very disappointing.

    And the relationships in this game. I love Ellie, but I didn’t give a crap about her relationship with Dina. The thing about Joel and Ellie’s relationship in the first game that made it so special? It happened organically, overtime, onscreen. They wanted nothing to do with each other at first. But you, the player, got to see their dynamic change gradually throughout the game, and it was interesting. But with Ellie and Dina, they’re just into each other like it’s something we already should’ve known about. The most backstory we get about them is from Ellie’s entries into her journal, which is a poor way to try and build character relationships. The same can be said for Abby and Owen. At no point was I interested in anything they were saying or doing with each other.

    And some smaller grievances. It was really cool in the first game how when Joel pointed his gun, you heard his breathing get much louder, like he was scared and on edge. They got rid of that here which stunk. Also, it was cool at first how when upgrading your gun, they would show you making the addition, but that got old quickly, especially if I was trying to make multiple additions to the same gun. I just felt like I wanted a fast forward button the entire time.
    I also wanted to talk about Tommy running off on his own to go find Abby after Joel died. Uh, why did he do that? Tommy knows Ellie. He knew that she wanted revenge just as badly. He clearly did not want any harm to come to her. Why did he not go with her? Wouldn’t that be the best way to ensure survival?

    In conclusion: The original Last of Us is one of my favorite games. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so hard on Part 2. Abby is awful, unlikeable, and boring. The fact that I had to spend so much time playing as this character was terrible. I replayed 1 more than once at this point. I have 0 interested in ever replaying 2, because there’s so much of the game I would want to skip over. It’s so disheartening to see how bad this all turned out...    … 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.

    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]
