    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is very bad. in fact, it's worse than bad, it's horrible. The ending is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen in games. It is unbelievable the path that the plot of that game took. It really is a shame. My recommendation for those who have already played the first game and are thinking of taking the second one is to stay away from this game. Keep only the good moments of the first game.… Expand

I know for a fact I did for the most part even though I was upset with some of the decisions they made. It had me emotional in some moments especially the ending had me on tears and I don't cry at a lot of things. The game really grasped me in it's story. The acting is the best I have ever seen in a video game, and maybe even in all media, I just can't get over how good it was, every moment felt real. The animations were top notch and the enemy AI was a lot more intelligent than in the first game and most games I've played. However there was a moment in the game where it didn't really feel like it took place in a The Last of us world type setting which I did not really like. And even if the story doesn't appeal to you the gameplay wise this game is phenomenal and still worth picking up in my opinion. I would also like to mention that I was upset with the false advertising. Nevertheless I still very much enjoyed the game and I am looking forward to Naughty Dog's next game.    … Expand

    The plot is an insufferable, woke, SJW, nonsensical, petty revenge story . The game certainly looks nice, but who would care about this in a narrative-driven product?

    - Game physics are greatly improved
    The cons: - Lackluster and repetitive gameplay that fails to reiterate on the first instance in    7 years after the critcally acclaimed and universally loved first part came out, this absolute piece of **** is somehow let through the doors of Naught Dog.

There is much to be said, but I can only say how disappointed I am in what used to be one of the worlds best game studios.

Second part is even worse the coffee scene is a disgrace for this franchise and makes someone almost puke on how low budget the plot is. The game is not perfect but trying to give it a 10 at every turn when this game is filled with bugs and plot holes is just utterly disrispectful towards your fans and consumers and making fanboys fight for a lost cause. The game is less than 0 because there is no significant and true emotional content only pretty graphics with the most distorted story possible. This is a shame on game journalists and media in general not because is bad to like it but because they are unable to look at it's inumerous flaws. People are not happy.… Expand

    Naughty Dog lied to us with the first game like Joel lied to Ellie, for the opposite reasons unfortunately,

    Naughty Dog is always a pretty overrated but still overall decent developer. Last of US is decent and a 7/10 to me. Story was predictable and gameplay is quite repetitive and lackluster. Things they do well are animations, lighting and probably graphics. They still do and it's top notch among all PS4 games. Artistically and creativity is never their strong at that. My expectations weren't too high for this game, but I didn't expect it to be worse than the first by quite a large margin. At least I thought the story, characters' development and dialogue would still be somewhat enjoyable like the first.

    However Last of US 2 still managed do make me very disappointed. All the new characters are boring. Ellie and Dina basically had 0 character development throughout this very boring journey. There are some very tense moments in the beginning but it kinda fell apart after the first few hours of the game. Afterwards it's just sneak behind, stab or sneak, shoot, throw a stone to distract the enemy, rinse and repeat. Occasionaly there is some explosives you can use and that's it. Nothing unique is added weapon wise.

    Levels are slightly bigger which seem like a plus. however exploration is pointless due to the very limited weapons you can use. It does not add anything new to the story either. Sometimes there are interaction between Dina as you wander around for some scenary, sadly since she's a very lackluster, average looking character with a flat personality, my jaw almost fell on the ground due to endless ho-hums. Their dialogue is pretty much what you see with girls on your social media account.

    Another big complaint for Naughty Dog's games are being crazy linear. For some reason all their previous titles that got a pass from gamers a decade long. I always disliked that because personally, games are meaningful to play because I can forge my own path. Otherwise, I'd rather watch a movie. In Last of US 2, this issue is magnified to the maximum. Developer thought they created a great story, yet it felt crazy forced. Had they cut out those many boring moments and created a few more branching of the story and let player choose how the direction of the storyline in the second half to ending, it would be a much more interactive experience and perhaps I will be much more invested on every moment and details of the game so I can make my own choice for this journey.

    Lastly, Ellie's redesign is horrible, she used to be somewhat cute and now she's just like those protesters I saw on the last few week of BLM protests. Not to mention that she-male character and antagonist they created for the sequel, it's insane and by far the worst villain of any first party titles from Sony. She's like someone who won the lottery and became and became a billionaire, I wondered if Naughty used this method to just pick any NPC to become the main antagonist, there's no way you can tell she's so special other than Naughty Dog keeps put the camera focus on her.

    It's time for Naughty Dog to go back to the drawing board and understand why gamers play a game again. Gaming is fun because players can control. They need to create far more options for the players and let players make choices and develop way more tools for players to utilize that can affect the characters and the world within a game. Characters' physical appearance also needs to be customizable. It also shows the importance of mod tools, let players join in and add exciting content and customize your game even further. I'm tired of playing games like this where developer force the player to play the game their way and to go the story on their restrictive linear path.    … Expand

Gameplay is also an improvement over the first Tlou which is not perfect.

    Story when we are reviewing a single player campaign with no multiplayer, it's the most important point to get right to add replayability, recommmend to others, accessibility. In my own critical opinion the story felt unbelievable, many decisions over the story makes no sense, commonly known as the "plot armor", many relationships which TLOU2 focused on more than the story itself, felt forced and scripted in a terrible timeline of events.

    TLou2 felt like the beginning stage to plan this game was, how to make more brutal and gruesome? to show the cruelty of the world they live in by breaking the boundaries of what games have shown in violent and sexual acts to fake easier an impact or shock.

    CHARACTERS: a big problem here since any character respecr what they were on the previous entry, they as well could be other characters if it werent for the resemblance and it shows strongly when they reckoned Tlou1 in form of amazing flashbacks which make you wish all the game were just in the past. Without going into spoilers. Its is hard to recommend this game to others, it has a few awesome sub-plots, clearly doesnt deserve anything less than a 5 just for visuals and sound but when story is what are you selling and its terribly written in a way that would want to make you stop playing and bought for 60 dlls to see such a disrespectful story to tlou legacy. It hurts its own fan base which i was into, without amy hennig as the main writter and lead i wouldnt be interested in a sequel to this.
    Sorry for any bad grammar, i am mexican and i know my english is not perfect, hopefully i was able to make my point clear.

    Planned actually a 7 but since story is the heaviest point to be able to replay, i did give it more weight and as a 6 i cant recommend it, (PASS) unless you really want to experience the story by yourself even with all the warnings    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 2014 made a good impression on many players around the world, good graphics, technical part, history in the end. And one of the most beloved characters in the entire gaming industry, Joel, a character that I wanted to worry about, for which players were afraid that he would not get a decent sequel. It was this character who made the last of us what it is. A man who lost his daughter, becoming insensitive and cold-blooded, such as you should be in a world populated by zombies, in a world where people literally fight for food and weapons. The loss of someone close to him caused many players to shed tears, so well was this moment in the game worked out. There was no love line in the game that would distract the player from passing the first part. Only survival and only a world populated with dangers, one task is to save the world with the help of Ellie, but throughout the game we see how Joel's attitude to Ellie changes, how he begins to take care of her and finally understands that she has become a native person for him and does not allow her to kill. And now for the last of us 2, hopefully the first trailer, the voice of the beloved Joel, Ellie angry at all, here it is a dream come true, it was supposed to be a sequel to dreams, BUT the release of the second trailer, lesbians in the eyes, inflated woman, suddenly out of nowhere increased the number of races in the world where WALKS a DEADLY VIRUS, LOOTERS, HUNGER, DISEASE MORTAL DANGER TO ANYONE, but not for a group of lesbians and Teens, which is the story of the game, honestly the first ten minutes of the game were great this is when you play as Joel. Further and further the game becomes uninteresting. And I had a question AND for what 10/10, FOR WHAT??? thanks for the graphics, but we've seen better ( red dead redemption 2, God of war, the order 1886 2015 release!!) so just look at what the graphics are, it will not work, hmm... maybe the gameplay, maybe there is something new, that's a surprise, NO there is the same thing that was, I repeat for what 10/10???? Yes, you shoved us lesbians, open, I beg your pardon, pornography, and of course, inflated women and men. So I still do not understand this world in the post-APOCALYPSE, where there IS NOT enough FOOD WATER and MEDICINE, do you call this realistic??? do they have gyms open and everyone drinks protein? Lord here is an example of post-Apocalypse (mad max, where to get diesel and water, where the people look like crazed savages where no one wants anyone to have sex) there are also examples in movies, and it dies the whole planet, the land of the dead, dawn of the dead, but in the second zombie movie there's sex but its not shoved in trailers, and did not put on a show, look we have sex. All this pornography completely spoils the whole atmosphere of the game, the atmosphere of post-Apocalypse and danger. The world is not so much gays and lesbians, and in the game where the world is on the brink of extinction, where all eating hungry zombies, kill the marauders, and destroying of the disease, for some reason it's not picking them from the fact that they are what OTHER diseases do not take and zombies don't want them to bite??? And also probably one of the most important questions, if all this LGBT squad does not affect the plot, then WHY DID you PUT THEM in the GAME, WELL, that's WHY, IT only DISTRACTS the PLAYER from the PLOT. But they say with a proudly raised head "look we have lesbians and sex" we are for everyone, dear creators, leave your position on this matter to yourself, we do not NEED it AT all and are not INTERESTED in it. And so we realized that all these LGBT characters were not needed at all, we figured out that it is simply IMPOSSIBLE to pump up someone, men or women in such a world. and finally... Joel. what did they do to you, the character everyone loves, who everyone cares about, was killed.... With a GOLF CLUB, and now laugh because it's so funny, you would have just drowned him in the toilet, no well, seriously, a man who lost his daughter, who survived in the world of the post-Apocalypse, who almost lost his heart, was beaten guys with a Golf club, a GOLF CLUB Carl, I don't understand why???? FOR WHAT ???? YOU TREATED HIM LIKE THAT. it was he who represented the last of us, not ELLIE, but JOEL. And you want high ratings from the players??? and Yes by the way all those who say, "you're just in the game is not played, so I don't understand" or "Yes, you never created the game and so you don't understand" to understand that the movie is bad as a game, it is enough to watch the trailer or ten minutes from a movie or game and understand that in the movie as in the game may be bad graphics, bad beginning, bad acting, no need to watch the whole movie or to GO through the WHOLE game YOU KILLED THE LAST OF US BECAUSE OF ALL THIS BECAUSE OF LGBT PROPAGANDA FOR EQUALITY, AND FOR THE MURDER OF JOEL, YOU CAN'T BE FORGIVEN.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel obligated to say that this game is supposed to be divisive. Do not base your opinion about this game on my review, Try it for yourself. It could work for you, but it sadly didn't for me.

    I wanted to love this so badly. I avoided all spoilers and had a fair amount of optimism going into it. I'm 100% sure that the trailers were just as bad as the spoilers, because the spoilers are a large part of what ruined my experience. Most of what I'll discuss is to do with the story.

    Firstly, Abby. The core idea of TLOU is survival. You fight your way through and survive because you care about the characters, but I hated Abby for obvious reasons. Making a character do something we will hate for then having them redeem themselves to you (the player) makes it hard to actually like them. Had they made us like Abby and become attached to her before she did the unspeakable, it would've made it possible for us to forgive her and want her to survive, despite it being possible it still would've been improbable. Replacing the protagonist with his killer sucks. I didn't care about her or her friends, and I didn’t try to care for them in the 2nd part of the game since I had already known that they would die. While playing as Abby I wanted to run to clickers and let them bite me, which, again, destroys the survival aspect. I hoped that in every cutscene she would die, but even THAT was ruined because of the order they told the story in.

    Instead, they make us play through **** that is clearly trying to humanize her and justify her actions, whether it be her flashbacks or her "compassionate" story with Lev which is just a rip off of Joel and Ellie. The justification for her actions were valid, but at the end of the day pointless because you do not care about who her actions were attempting to avenge, and you actually would be inclined to root against who she is trying to avenge (her father, whom Joel killed, and mankind, who were ripped off a cure) because saving those would've cost Ellie's life. ND even tried to make us sympathize for Abby by having her lose those around her, however, thats just the revenge we've been wanting. At the end I'm just confused about her because there isn't any point in killing her or letting her live.

    Secondly, side characters. Having SO MANY characters that are just there to earn our sympathy rather than be actual characters, then killing almost all of them is so dumb. It makes us so emotionally numb to loss because so many of them die, that at some point I had stopped caring when a character died.

    Thirdly, Joel and Ellie. The order that their scenes appear, as well as the number of hours between each one made it feel more like a side story. This somewhat undermined their importance. However, they are just too powerful and enjoyable to be called a waste.

    Fourthly, the trailers set up a game that was completely different and seemed like it was REALLY gonna focus on the downfall of Joel and Ellie’s relationship, but just completely hit a 180. I’m certain that their intention was to have the trailers make it seem like Dina was the one that was going to die.

    Lastly, and this is the most important: The storyline is pointless. The only difference between the beginning of the game and the end is dead bodies. Thats it, and, as aforementioned, that wasn't even meaningful because there were so many deaths. The only meaningful things that happened were the progress in Ellie and Dina, and Lev and Abby's relationship, but even the latter is just some rip off of Joel and Ellie that I don't really want to see play-out, and will not be buying the DLC or spin-off they will probably make about those two.

    However, I can’t die how empty I felt at the end of the game, despite not caring about 65%(?) of the characters. I think that’s all thanks to just how greatly developed Joel was as a character, along with his relationship with Ellie. Neither Joel nor his relationship with Ellie were perfect, but were both very strong. Its because the way I feel

    All in all a pointless experience with GOOD repetitive gameplay, GREAT graphics, and a GREAT soundtrack that is WILDLY underused imo. Multiple instances where I thought I'd hear a guitar riff but was met with silence instead.    … Expand

It only lead me to hate the game itself and want revenge inflicted upon the writer himself for his blatant disrespect of both the original characters, as well as the passion of fans themselves towards those very same characters. The writing could have been done much more "constructively" in regard to both character development and plot. It needed more purpose, I honestly felt like this game was void of any and it even bled over to make the original game's plot irrelevant. It's disgraceful that no "critics" were even remotely critical of this game. It has its strengths sure, but it certainly has its considerable flaws too. If graphics and gameplay are your driving force in selection of games considered to be enjoyable, this will be an acceptable addition. If you want a good, heartfelt, and well executed story like I enjoyed most about the first game, this is not par for the course...if anything I'd prefer a mulligan actually.… Expand

We all know how cautious and smart Joel is from TLOU1, here he straight up tells a group of strangers his real name? Excuse me???? OK, I think it needs a little bit explanation why Joel has become a IQ nagative 100 guy in this game. Another thing, Abby killed Joel right after he saved her life --- with no hesitation? That does count as something right? The way he was killed is unnecessarily cruel. Really cheap shock value. Then the game doesn't stop going wose, and Abby is like "Yeah, I murdered Joel like a puppy, come and get me! NO F YOU, you don't get to do anything to me cuz the genius writer will make you spare me for whatever ****** reason only pickles would understand. Bonus, you have to play as me ^^" why the heck would I want to play as her? Oh, two sides of character? Sorry I'm good, if there's any sophistication in the characters in TLOUS2, it's because the story is so poorly written, and nothing in the game progression makes any sense. The guy who leaked the story is a hero, he was trying to save you 60 bucks.

    Overall, TLOUS2 is a solid 0/10 for me. Although it's a decent game in all the other aspects, it was supposed to be the sequel of TLOUS. Its hostile disrespect towards the previous game disguises me to an immeasurable extend. Even a 0.1/10 is no no from me.    … 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.

    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]
