    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At first when people were complaining about the story, I thought they're just sad that Joel died. Then, I finished the game. It was pretty bad. It was exhausting. The entire Abby part I just want it to be over. They dragged the story for too long, and they put small annoying things that it came out horrible.

    1. Making you kill dogs

    2. Playing Abby right after killing the only likeable character, Jesse.

    3. Irresponsible pregnant women jumping and running around

    4. That sex scene

    5. Making you play as Abby in the theater

    6. Lev going back for his mom?? (Who cares??)

    It's a shame such good gameplay was accompanied by this nonsensical drama    … Expand

    Hard to believe it's the same company. What the hell is this trend to intentionally disapoint fans. This is on pair with Game of Thrones season 8. And I bought PS4 to play this game I was so hyped. Please buy it second hand if you want to play it.Let's not make them believe they actually made a good game. Sales are driven by the success of TLOU1 that's all.

    The story was illogical at times, bland in others, and almost the entire time it was rarely engaging. Often a story can make up for mechanical shortcomings but most of the time I just daydreamed about better games.

    The combat, if it can be called that, is like the first Hitman game pre-alpha. It felt like a chore almost every time.

    It might be me, but I got bored of the really linear format almost immediately. Both in story and combat. I know the first one was similar but it just felt...off. Like I was just moving my joystick through a movie script or scene. It's not so much playing a game as it is one of those choose your own adventure novels. Except there's only one choice. And the adventure itself sucks. I wish there was some form of choice, even if it was small. But everything felt forced to another level. All in all I appreciated the graphics and the cutscenes, at first, but the flashbacks, combat, and lack of any semblance of free will just turned it into a slog very early on. The "puzzle" portions of the various stages were insulting, at best. Something like Resident Evil, generally, requires at least one brain cell. Every stage is built for an intelligent bird in this one. Rolling platform? High access point. Door locked? Break window. It was just very superficial and repetitive. Add in something engaging. Make me think. Even if a little bit. Otherwise all the "puzzles" are just things to waste my time. Imagine if every building in Skyrim had its doors locked and a window up on a platform open. Eventually what's the point of the locked doors? They're just there to be locked. But when locked door equals another automatic access point the meaning is lost. Just goes back to the overtly linear format. The reason this has a 1 star review instead of a 0 is entirely because of the guitar. I spent more time playing songs on the guitar than enjoying the entire rest of the game. If this was Last of Us: Guitar Hero I'd give it 9 stars. Honestly, if I keep the game, it will just be for the guitar. Overall I wouldn't recommend the game to anyone. Unless you have insomnia. Or like playing the guitar.    … Expand

    The motivations of the characters and their 'I am right' attitude and their aims for revenge is like nothing else I've ever experienced in a game, in places the game feels like more than just a game, it feels like a combination of everything that is good about movies, or how books can delve into characters back stories in much more depth, plus the things you can only do in a video game to make something really important that raises the bar (just like they did with the first game) to make a completely unforgettable experience.

    It's a shame that user reviews are so low due to people being unable to accept the incredible and extremely ambitious story Naughty Dog set out to tell and seemingly can't accept that the fate of certain characters was destined to end the way they did.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cintians minor spoilers:
    -Fantastic Graphic
    -Gameplay barely different to the first game, which was ok, but wasn't the biggest fan of it already then, exspected a bigger change and improvement
    -Characters: in my opinion ruined the characters from the first game (Ellie & Joel) and added a new main character (Abby) nobody cares about
    -Story: tries to force you onto Abby's story and changes your opinion of Ellie in a negative way; has so many unnecessary scenes especially in Abby's part, which will just lengthen the game; horrible pacing of the story overall and the switch between abby's and ellis's story could have been done in so many way better; a lot of loopholes and things that don't make sense
    -ending: probably one of the worst i've seen in a long time

    Overall it's a fantastic looking game with ok-ish gameplay, which will ruin your favourite characters from the first part through horrible pacing and interducing you a new main character nobody cares about. 25 hours of wasted time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first game is my favourite game of all time. Not for the graphics, crafting, enemy AI, shooting mechanics as they were all somewhat flawed, the reason is for the characters and story.

    The Last of Us Part 2 has improved its mechanics certainly but the story and treatment of beloved characters is like some sort of parody. I suppose I'm glad Joel was killed of early as he was spared the character destruction Ellie received. Once the funny smart mouthed glimmer of hope in this world, shes become frankly a resentful angry and selfish husk of her former self. Jessie and Lev were the only decent new characters for me.

    I don't understand the logic of Abby's decisions at all. Her father wanted to kill Ellie without giving her a choice. Later in the game she cares deeply for 2 people who saved her life, turning on her own to help them. However when Joel saves her she doesn't just kill him, she brutally tortures him, and we are suppose to empathise with this person.

    Waited a long time for this game, now I just don't care, but wonder.......................... is this how Naughty Dog wanted people to feel?    … Expand

    This is simply an awful, awful game. I thoroughly enjoyed the previous TLOU game, but they managed to both ruin the gameplay sections of the game as well as the story elements of the game with some terrible writing, especially towards the end.

    I will give credit to good accessibility options. That's it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lamentable que te obliguen a usar un personaje irredimible a los ojos del jugador por 10 horas como lo es Abby. Deformaron a los personajes que los fans esperaban ver para servir a un guión mal estructurado. Con Ellie te ves obligado a matar perros, con Abby juegas con perritos, con Ellie te ves obligado a matara una mujer embarazada, con Abby perdona a una mujer embaraza todo hecho para que te agrade un personaje sacado de la nada, la hija perdida de un npc. Joel es transformado de ser un superviviente que duró 24 años sin confiar en nadie, a dejarse rodear por una jauría de extraños y casi darles su combinación de caja fuerte. Todo para que te agrade un personaje que nadie le importa como lo es Abby.

    Recuerdan en TLOU 1 cuando David, el canibal, mató a Ellie a palazos, y luego tuvimos que controlarlo por 10 horas para conocer su triste y hermosa historia? y luego...tuvimos que usarlo para cazar a Joel? no fue hermoso? El final es lamentable, intenta manejar conceptos nihilistas sobre perdón y odio y termina siendo simplemente pretencioso. Al igual que los fans de Star Wars con la últimas películas solo hay que pretender que esta....cosa no existe.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only reason this game is getting higher than a zero is because it looks good for 1 point and Ellie for the other point. Not only did thus game push social political agendas into almost every character trait in a zombie game, but the story is trying so hard to be different that it just feels disconnected from the actuaL universe it’s in. Taking what we loved about the first game. Which was the bond between Joel and Ellie, and then smashing it with a golf club from this random new character. THEN making me play as the character that i hate that you attempt to force me to like because her dad was killed, which didn’t work btw i felt nothing for Abby right after she killed Jessie. Another character i like. Then you make me play as her for 10+ HOURS to get me to think she’s interesting. She’s not. Lev is just a plot device used to extend the story. It’s a joke of a story. The revenge plot is kinda dull. But since it’s Ellie and even I’m here wanting to kill these people for killing the main character of the first game right off the bat. I could let the revenge motive slide. The ending was terrible. Never in my life have i seen a more unsatisfying ending. 25+ hours of story just for Ellie to change her mind. Your game is trash. The only reason these critics have this game such a good rating was because they are media. And if you include all these elements that people can side with. (Lesbian couples, trash gender children) they’re gonna want to give it a high score so they aren’t bombed on by the groups that associate with them. I don’t have Abby cause she’s buff or a woman i don’t have lev because he’s trans. I hate them because they are incredibly problematic and the things that they choose to do. I don’t feel anything for either of them. Dina and Jesse were good auditions to the cast. But wait Abby killed him out of nowhere. Thus game builds these relationships then rips them away for the sake of the plot out of nowhere. I enjoyed playing as Ellie. However like half this game is Abby so. Not only will i never play this again because of its terrible story and characters, I’ve already returned it and got my refund cause i felt robbed by the whole experience. Please never buy this game. You will be disappointed… Expand

The Last of Us Part II is totally a different game story-wise. It did lack character development to the new characters, I haven’t felt any anger or sadness to their deaths except for Lara. The graphics and the gameplay I’ll give it a solid 10/10. The story? It really made the game worst. Full of plot holes, unnecessary flashbacks from Abby & Owen relationship, and of course killing Joel and that disappointing ending. Could’ve been more great if they ended it at the farm. Anyways I’ll give it a 2/10. Props to the team.… Expand

So i got hyped when the trailer for last of us 2 came out. i was amazed. i thought that the game whoud be great! But it wasnt the case. When the game was released i selled my ps 3 in hopes to buy ps 4 so i can play last of us 2 but before that in my recomended on youtube there was a video named Joels death scene. My favorite character was joel so i thought they were joking so i wathced the video and realised that the game had realistic graphics but as i said it is not soo important to ave nice graphics it is all about the story. so i didnt want to buy the game or install it even if it was free. The story is really fu*ked up and it is so weird to play as a main villian that killed the main character of the first game. i wathced a gameplay and saw that it is not good. these two points are just for the graphics the story is really bad. I wish they ended the sequal at the first game and just leave the Last of us and the last of us left behind. Those games are truly epic and the last of us part 2 just ruins it. It just ruins story adding a she-hulk kill joel in the most stupid way possible. it whould be ok if they make joels death a little bit better. They made him look stupid in the second. It is just cruel to make a beloved caracther just to be killed later on it is just stupid. And the end is just weird. I really wish that the sequal ended on last os us 1 . It ruins the fact that the last of us was my favorite game and i loved joel as a character. Sorry for my bad english im not from England or Us so im sorry… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game fells nextgen when you play but it never answers the questions it made in the end of the first game.

    Ellie is desconstructed as the character we loved and become the angry person blinded by revenge that fells shallow during the gameplay, you care about the old characters, like Joel and Tommy, but it just fails to create bonds with the new, and when its about to do it they kill everyone, they don't expand the lore at all, it fells like they needed make a sequel for the money despite don't having a story for it.

    The gameplay its good and the graphics are good also, but the E3 2018 looked better.

    Played at PS4 Pro, only runs at 1440p30fps, fans are really loud (console cleaned inside 1 month ago) look as good as GOW but runs at half of the resolution and GOW had a 1080p high Fps mode so i don't know what happened

    Play if you want a good post apocalyptic game, if you want a sequel to TLoU 1, its very disapointing

    I didn’t feel anything for the characters I hardly paid attention because I was in a rush to continue Ellie’s story and was forced to play as a wwe super star for 10 hours!!! That part really put it in the grave for me it was almost unbearable but I somehow did it, I already have some friends that deleted the game after finding that out.
    If there is a 3rd installment I hope she wakes up and the whole thing was a nightmare because that’s what The Last Of Us part 2 is. And what ever game ND is making next don’t let Neil lead it i don’t want another **** story.

    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.
