    Played from start to finish and could it felt forced like they want you to actually care about their relationship on a zombie survival game.

    Too much grotesque violence. Very unenjoyable. Nothing like part 1. Oldish game mechanics. Good graphics does not make it any better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely horrible game. I could've understood the good reviews if the game was well written. The theme of revenge and forgiveness is okay, also playing as the villain is an interesting choice....if only it wasn't written in such a bad way. If they wanted us to like Abby then they should've made us play with her from the very beginning, showing us her reasons and making us feel some empathy towards her instead of just throwing her in the game like that. And no, playing 10 hours as her isn't going to make me change mine or anyone's mind about her character at that point in the story. The LGBT theme is written by someone who clearly doesn't understand how mechanics between lesbians work. Casually the only sex scene between them seems like a pillow fight and there's also the presence of weed (I wonder why it's never mentioned afterwards, huh?). Overall, it really seems like the writer tried to represent the community without actually having an idea of how things really work. As a part of the community myself I don't feel represented in the least by such a thing.
    If this wasn't the worst already there's also the mental illness part. You want to represent someone with PTSD? Fine, then show me ALL the sympthoms that come with it, not just a part of them. It's useless to try to portrait them as real people if then you don't give the idea of complete realism. Where's all the anxiety, the sudden changes of mind and absurd thoughts that come with PTSD? Why wasn't there EVER a confrontation with Dina about it?
    Another point is that the characters don't seem themselves anymore. Joel and Ellie, the core of the previous game, feel completely out of character from the very beginning. Joel would've never revealed his name or trusted someone so easily, we all know that, so why doing him like this here? It just makes no sense. Nothing much has changed from the gameplay point of view and some areas are just boring. The ending, however, manages to do even worse than this. If the message is that revenge is bad, then why does Abby get away with what she's done? Does it make any sense that Ellie lets the only person who wronged her live and kills everyone else? This is just ridiculous. This game is nothing like the critic says about it. Absolute trash.

    No this is just not playable. I wasted my money on this game because the first part was indeed good. But all these leftists are manipulating games and everything else. It is a big disappointment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The reason why i have given this game such a low score is due to the false advertising at the teasing of this game where they blatantly used Joel in their trailers making the whole last of us community believe that he would join Ellie's journey but they instead swap these cinematics with Jesse, which is just a another way they destroyed their own reputation. Additionally, the only critic that give the best response with constructive criticism is IGN Japan, the gameplay of this game is fantastic but the story is the heart and soul of the game and that's completely destroyed by politics which the last game did not blatantly push in your face. i can see why Naughty dog lost a large amount of its employees one of my speculations is probably because the writer and director Neil Druckmann can not take any constructive criticism but would rather call you a bigot or would just rather just take all the positive reviews. The game purposely wants to do a parallel between Ellie and Abby but it just does not sick together its just too forced and ruins the flow of the story. Finally, Abby kills Joel even though he saves her life without hesitation but when i comes to Lev and Yara they save her life but hesitate at the start but she spares them and helps them at the end, even though they have probably killed countless numbers of the WLF and her friends this is a plot hole which makes no sense at all. It would probably be better if they just left the last of us franchise alone instead of destroying it with every political statement. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excluding the story, this game is a good game with great graphic, great mechanic and average plot. However, despite all of these good points, the way naughty dog has smash all those character build up in the first game is really disappointing and just **** disgusting. All the so call "political correct" element in the game also makes me feel sick. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (SPOILERS) I am a big fan of the last of us and this story doesn't work, Joel has survived for 20+ years and he didn't trust many to survive and then he saves some random ripped girl and trust her to go to here group. And gets killed and tortured because of it. Ellie in the end has been hunting Abby (the ripped hulk girl) for months maybe and then in the fight Abby bites of Ellie's fingers and Ellie just let's her go ?
    After nearly killing her girlfriend and Jesse, Joel and shooting Tommy in the head/eye.
    WHAT!?!?
    The worst part of it all is that you have to play as the HULK for 10 hrs just because naughty dog want's you to understand her side of things although she killed Joel and most people do not want to play as the one who killed Joel the lead character in the first last of us.

    Although i think the story is really bad, The graphics and npc animations Ellie's animations other stuff like gore and new zombies are great So i give it a 4/10.

Regardless of the individual story beats own merits even the way the game is organized seems haphazard and amateurish (flashbacks here there and everywhere, scenes created just to illicit a certain emotion at irrelevant times, and jesus did abby sections make me want to drop a game like I never have before).
    Really wish this was some random zombie game and not the Tlou2 so I could just forget about it but damn has there ever been a worse sequel to a great game that completely forgets what made the original great, i.e . not some grandstanding never before seen plot ( it was a zombie property in the 2010's for God sake) but the relationship of 2 characters were allowed see grow and develop.
    I reckon you can remember every single named character in the Tlou1 but in Tlou2 there's so many thrown at you with no time to shine that theyre usually dead before you've had a chance to memorise their names or even see a second personality trait.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think the story didn't please everyone because everyone kinda wanted a happy ending or something that they would expect. On the contrary, even though the ending is sad and unbearable to the point I have nightmares, i totally love it. it made me think. which I think is good. The choices Ellie's choose to make were very characteristic to the human being. She couldn't free herself from the burden and the loss of her adoptive father. Obviously if you think ln a objective view, you would think her choice were dumb and that should have let it go, which I agree! But that's her story and we gotta understand that that is her point of view and that we can't just put our-self in the place of Ellie.

    Remember when Joel saved Ellie from the Hospital, you were all agreeing that killing a doctor for selfish purpose was ok. Abby seeked revenge, Ellie seeked revenge too. It's human. It's just retribution.

    On another note, I think the staff really made a good work, such as the way they wanted the game to be played. Like the intro with Abby, then Ellie for the revenge, and then the 2nd part with Abby point of view, to finally with Ellie again.

    Final note : 9/10, love the story

I could go on and on about bad and only have a few good things to say so I won't waist your time and just say be your own judge and do your own research before buying.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished the game. It definitely a game that makes you feel miserable playing it. You lose interest in it as the story forces you to do things that are not enjoyable. Its kinda repetitive and the AI is kinda predictable. The 2018 trailer was ofcourse over promised and we got a lesser version from the trailer with the less graphical fidelity. Replayabilty would rate it 2. It was just linear after the first day with Ellie. Story: would rate it 1. Contrived and forced. Joel isnt stupid or dumb in the first game. Why is he dumb in this one. Yara doesnt care her mum died. Wtf. Abby has no redeeming qualities and you just dont care playing this character. No wonder every reviewer gave it 10 as they only were allowed to play Ellies first half. Graphics: 5 I mean, it was a letdown compared to the trailer. Reduced self shadowing and etc. I can see why all the senior staff got burnt out and left and only the junior staff were there. The time crunch and you can see the quality fall flat. 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.
