    you kill a character as beloved and main as joel at 15 min of game to be able to put a trans of main playable character. Really? If you want to put your sjw **** in a new game, not one with a story!

    If you support this game you are directly supporting nefarious beings like Anita Sarkeesian to destroy the video game industry!

    I was a big fan of The Last Of Us I have played it over and over again. I just finished the game and the story just seems forced and the plot seems like it was not given much thought considering how the first game was delivered to the audience in such a masterful way.

    If you like pre production, if you like games, if you are a normal person, please do not buy this game. Because you will waste your time, your money, your feelings and your life. It's also bad for your physical and mental health because of anger and disappointment. Because the story of this game is veryveryvery disgusting!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Listen, if you loved the first game DO NOT PLAY THIS, The Last Of Us 2 might have great visuals and cool combat but it ruins everything that have to do with the story, this game has no respect for the fans nor the subject matter,the writers just wanted to do their own stupid thing, so they kill Joel, "OK fine" i say almost in tears, "let's see where they go with it, it is interesting" I say, but it actually is soo stupid, I don't want to spoil more, if you haven't played the first one play this and you will have real fun with it but to all the fans of the original delete this game from your mind, think that it is not cannon, think it as an alternative universe, because, and I am sad to say it for game I was waiting for 7 years, it is trash, this game should not exist, and for those that will say"but it is marvelous, a technical standpoint.... " yes it is, but the last of is the STORY, the characters, the relationships, not the graphics or the combat, graphics and combat ARE GOOD, but it is still trash. I would also like to talk about the ending to this piece of **** called The Last of Us Part 2, Ellie has been through soo much, SOO MUCH, and she does not kill Abbie(woman Kratos), WHY WHY DO THIS, she kills so many people across her journey fo revenge and at the end she doesn't get revenge, WHY, I am not angry, no, I am just disappointed, I almost jumped from my balcony with this ending, fans of the first, please don't do this to yourselves, play something else, not this, please....

If you are a Last of us part 1 fans, you will feel physical pain and sick in the stomach when you play as Abby, after her brutally murder Joel(because he killed her father in part 1) within 100 mins into the game. Also worth mention that Joel just walk into a room full of strangers(Abby and her friends), without any hesitation or suspicious, and said to everybody, “Hey, I’m Joel.” and JUST LIKE THAT, get himself killed. :)

    Will never purchase any game from naughty dog from now on to the end of my life:)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Boy oh boy where to begin? Well first off it had a bad story Joel dying to a golf club is not a good way for him to die and why would he stay in the middle of a room filled with strangers and give his name while the company blatantly lied to us about Joel being later in the game and you play as Joel’s killer and they try to make you sympathise with her but you play as her longer than you play as Ellie this ruined the franchise the original one had great story telling and character development but this one
    was your average revenge plot gone horribly wrong Ellie literally kills everyone but let’s Joel’s killer go I could think of multiple ways to make this better like maybe Joel dies by sacrificing himself for Ellie near the end of the game then let Ellie chase after Abby. Do not buy this game the other thousands of negative reviews are just trying to warn you not review bombing people wouldn’t be doing this if they didn’t care so it has a reason because this game isn’t about gameplay you buy for the story and it is horrible. Then there’s outright manipulation replacing Joel in the trailers with Jessie. Also really Metacritic? Blocking reviews including my first one.

    Gameplay- 5-6/10
    Graphics- 10/10 (which I don’t really care about graphics too much)
    Story 0/10
    Do not buy this game since it’s a story game and not something you buy for graphics save your money.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я долго размышлял над тем какую свинью мне подкинула сони, но в какой-то момент я подумал, а что если это такой тонкий троллинг Дракмана? Он всему миру показал, смотрите до какого абсурда может довести, если пытаться угодить меньшенству. В первой части была мораль. Жизнь ребёнка может стоить дороже жизни человечества. А какую же мораль нам пытается донести вторая часть? Честно, я не понял. Эту игру не хочется перепроходить как первую часть. Ни у одного из персонажей нет никакой какой-либо адекватной мотивации. Всё настолько притянуто за уши что фейспалм случается каждую катсцену. Я не понимаю как критики ставят высокие оценки игре, в то время как всю игру тебя заставляют страдать. Как такое может нравится? Вам нравится что вас бьют по голове клюшкой для гольфа? Как так непрофессионально можно было слить Джоэла. Ребят у вас огромная команда сценаристов, и из всех вариантов завязки сюжета для второй части вы выбрали этот? Уже после этого играть не хочется. Затем из тебя пытаются выдавить жалость к Элли, которая что-то не сильно-то и переживает. Пол игры ты играешь за Элли и ты ещё хоть как-то снисходительно относишься к игровому процессу. Но посередине игры тебе нагло суют под нос эту напичканную стероидами Эбби, и упорно пытаются доказать что вот смотри она на самом деле хорошая. У вот тут уже всё желание играть дальше просто пропадает. Происходит масса нелогичных событий, море сюжетных дыр, и такое же число костылей к ним. Спрашивается, а при чём тут вообще постапокалипсис? Я в какую-то Санто-Барбару играю, а не в Last of Us. А концовка абсолютно бездарна. Тебе с ухмылкой на лице говорят что всё это время ты потратил зря. Ни радости, ни жалости ни грусти у меня эта игра не вызывает. Только отвращение.… Expand

    Secondly, the gameplay is also fun. You can sneak around if you want and kill everyone like an assassin or rush in and blast your way through but be careful... you do not have much ammo so look around all the time.
    And lastly the story... As we all know there is some big controversy around it. I really enjoyed the story. Of course, there are a few things I would change. For example, it should be more chronological so that you play with both characters on the same day. But regardless of this story is really cool and surprise you every time. I think that everything that characters did is realistic and true to their characters. 2 hours from the end I was already thinking that it is over but then another part of the story kicked in and I was happily surprised.
    Overall I can only recommend this game. It was a blast playing it and I think it changed my mindset how I am looking at the world. Thanks, Naughty Dogs.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The biggest attraction of the game was the fraternal love that developed between Joel and Ellie throughout the entire game until the end, that's why everyone liked it, and they repeated the game (I repeated the game 7 times) The worst decision was to kill Joel at the start of the game, and replace the fraternal love that developed in the first game with love crap at first sight lol. We ALL bought the game from Joel and Ellie. We expect dramatic scenes between Joel and Ellie and the brilliant idea was to kill him after 40min of gameplay. The story of TLOU 2 is a total rubbish which I am sure NO ONE will play the game 2 times, for the simple reason that the story is not enjoyable ... in the first game the vast majority played the campaign several times .. I doubt very much that anyone wants to play it a second time. Another point, all the other characters could have been dismembered or burned alive and we wouldn't have minded ... BECAUSE THERE WAS NO DEVELOPED ATTACHMENT. The only attachment we had was the Joel - Ellie relationship (who was even having a hard time, and they could have worked from there). They really should fire those who had the stupid idea to eliminate fraternal love and incorporate love without any attachment from users, I don't think they can work on a TLOU 3. Ah, good job taking Ellie's fingers off her so she could never play the guitar again, the only thing Joel left her.
    it's a **** game of the year 2020, that is, ALL the games of this era can be scored 10/10 in graphs and gameplay easily, what really makes the difference is a good use of resources in terms of characters, story, narrative, dialogues, etc. 1. They forced the use of a character with whom we had no developed attachment. (IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE RESULT WOULD NOT BE GOOD.)2. We were tricked with the trailers, thinking Joel would be an accompanying character (Joel).3. The worst use of resources I have seen in years, should be ashamed to do this rubbish in so many years...Joel's death mismanaged, if only killed mid-game or given a "dignified" death and in the process "develop" attachment to Abby.For example: Playing with Ellie and Joel as Abby searches for Joel (and that way we are presented to Abby in a different way, ASI develops character attachment). But NOOOO Hahaha we'll have Abby kill one of the game's biggest resources at the first hour of play and then force you to play with Abby for 7 hours...that can go wrong?    … Expand

    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.
