    Gameplay, graphics, music... everything else from the game is awesome. Except stupid plot logic and narcissistic writers ruined all of this and made the game joke of century.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don’t believe the false negatives! This game is great. Grinded it on survival mode for 31 hours. Fantastic storyline and impeccable character development. From hating Abby, to rooting for her to kill Ellie in the end when you realize she’s actually the more altruistic of the two; this game surely sends you on an emotional rollercoaster. Not to mention the countless deaths of supporting characters you wanted to see thrive (Yara, Jesse, Manny). Joel had it coming and we all know it. The brutal battles scenes and challenging 1v30 WLF/Scar slaughtering served to impress beyond anything Last of Us 1 could offer. Seeing both sides of the story through the eyes of Abby and Ellie was truly masterful by the devs. And left you deeply contemplating who was in the right. On to what I didn’t like .. At times the game would feel very repetitive in that “ok, we’re here and we need to get 5 miles that way through crumbled building and hordes of enemies.” If the battles weren’t so intense and graphically amazing, this would have made a big impact on my score. My final word and issue with the game... Did we really need to go to San Francisco to reach the same outcome? Don’t get me wrong, the battle with the Rattlers is awesome and it felt like they would never stop coming out of the woodwork, but Ithad the same ending that the theater battle had. No one actually believed the devs would kill a changed Abby and protecter of Lev. When Ellie was initially shown at the farm with Dina and JJ, I thought it was over. I hoped it was over! But they instead added that extra bit in San Francisco because they thought it’s what we wanted. It didn’t bother me too much, but I know deep down that it just wasn’t really necessary apart from maybe setting up for Part 3. That’s all, hope you enjoyed my review.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This might be the most unsatisfying game I've ever played. The story and how horribly it played out is unjustifiable. Regardless of the message the writers were trying to send to the viewer about "revenge" none of the games characters that existed in the first game ever felt true to the original. Joel and Tommy in the second game come off as idiots with an affinity for wanting to walk into lion dens with meat around their bodies. Which ends up being the biggest plot point in the entire game. The entire reason things pan out the way they do is based on a writing flaw. If you wanted to kill a character at least make it true to the character. In this case that wasn't done. This also doesn't take into account the pregnancy fetish that the writers seem to have. For almost the entire game you're escorting around a pregnant woman while you're both being "total badasses". While I am all for making women look strong in video games. This felt so forced that it leaves a bad taste in almost everyones mouth. We might as well talk about how poorly paced the game is. You are for about 12 hours of gameplay playing through a 2 day period through the perspective of two different characters. Both being insanely unlikable. While doing absolutely ridiculously unbelievable **** Like having a pregnant ally running around doing more work then an Army soldier in the trenches of an all out war or getting surrounded my enemies and someway shooting yourself through it all as a teenage girl with 12 rounds of ammo in a semi auto revolver. For this 12 hour time span you also have to play as the anatagonist for half of it. (HOW COOL. VERY VERY ORIGINAL DEVS.) With the anatagonist somehow being even more unlikeable then the now main protagonist Ellie. The time spent playing as Abby (The antagonist) is painful and will leave the player questioning if it's even worth making it to the ending of the game or if they should uninstall the game and play something else. Now I will say this idea isn't entirely bad if the gameplay wasn't insanely repetitive. Literally the entire game is. Go here, Kill People/Infected, Do the objective, Oh wait can't do this objective til I do this other objective there, Go there, Kill People/Infected, Do the objective, Go back, Kill People/Injected, Complete objective. This cycle occurs constantly through the game. The only nuance that exists between combat encounters is whenever you finally get a new weapon but even then it get's boring quick and it happens so unoften that it doesn't improve really anything. With all that being said. To the devs I must say. Playing as Abby was a horrible idea. Killing Joel was done so bad that it's unjustifiable. Pregnant women aren't Superman, Your characters aren't as likeable as you think they are. Your pacing choices made the game so grueling to play that the FBI could legitmately use your game as a torture method. The message about revenge you were trying to convey isn't new or cool or necessary. If you had nothing story wise. Just don't make another game. Your franchise is dead now. The devs look like complete jokes. Good job. Thanks for wasting everyones time and money.… Expand

While the graphics are amazing that means jack when the story is utter garbage. Gameplay felt the same as first so that didnt bother me but as a single player game the story is so cruical to its success and this story failed miserably. They turned joe into a complete idiot to get him killed. Then ellie goes on a revenge spree and doesnt even get the pay off at the end. Sorry in a post apocalyptic world you dont let a person just walk away out of mercy. Thats probably the dumbest crap ive played in a long time.

    Notice how i didnt bring up any LGBT or anything else like that? You know why? Because it didnt bother me but the fanboys apparently think since you didnt like the game you are some homophobic person which makes no excuse. Some of the biggest youtubers absolutely hate this games story as well. Are they homophobic? Are they review bombing it to bomb it? No and no.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay was astonishing and had to keep playing. The Music was awesome as always and the attention to detail was a lot improved, eben though in the First Part i thought that it couldnt get much better. There are some easter eggs that made me smile, like Gustavo Santoalalla playing guitar. And that you can explore auch huge parts of seattle was a really nice experience. Everything was really immersive and the fights were really terrifying. At oke Point i was disappointed by the story and I really didnt want to keep playing as abby Even though now i have to das that her story was very interesting and I would Even want to See what will Happen with her in lev(Finding the fireflies). I just think that Joel didn’t deserve to die this way and Ellie didn’t deserve her biggest to fear become true, she lost everyone and now even her memory is getting left behind because she can’t play the song anymore. Anyways just like reality there aren’t always happy ends.… Expand

    !Shut - the - f*** - up!
    This game, The Last of Us: Part 2, doesn't deserve a 10/10 and no game will ever be a perfect game so stop praising it! Get over it already.
    It doesn't deserve a 0 out of 10, I know you'll critics are very, very dissapointed, I understand your feelings but let's be real here, some of the stuff here were at least playable. So come on. move on...
    To all the defenders...
    Let me tell you a secret...
    You are not better than the critics, you all slamming 10s and 9s just for the sake of it makes you all criminals as well. You won't feel better or satisfied, trust me!
    Naughty Dog doesn't know and will never know you...never care about you...never remember you...never praises you...never cares about your scores. You shouldn't defend a company that doesn't know or care about you and will not care about you.
    Stop daydreaming, believing that you are worth something to them...cause you are not! You are a wallet to them...and there are never good relationship with a wallet, which in that case...you are the wallet...
    Now that we got that out of the way and hopefully the fire will stop soon...
    Time for the review. and I will be quick but honest about my opinion about it since too many have already reviewed it.

    What are the goods in the game?
    The graphics, first and foremost. Breathtaking! No complains here.
    The cinema, the way characters acting, the animations, they're almost flawless (still not perfect).
    The sound effects are exactly what you expect. Onpoint and satisfying.

    What's in the mixed thoughts?
    The writing. There's room for a lot of improvments, I was not amused. it's pretty average. A well made writing as an example is the witcher which made me giggle and laugh out loud many times. Little did I felt anything based on the writing of Tlou2 alone.
    The gameplay, the Fun. It's really mixed here. Some got bored really quick, others said it was fun and entertaining. In my opinion, It's fine at best and could have had some improvements, deleting animations in the workshops to stop wasting time for example, real is fine, too real is bad for gaming and time wasting, no one really has time to see someone cleans hisher gun everytime you go adjust the gun. Let's be real here, this is not the reason why you're playing the game...

    What's the bad in this game?
    The story.
    I don't like it, not one bit. It's more than just the recent "events" that you definetely will come across. It's just a revenge plot...It's generic, the way they executed it is pretty boring and lazy.
    A child can write a revenge story, almost anybody can write a revenge narrative and in my opinion and in all honesty, also can write a better and more satisfying story for both sides of the spectrum.
    It's also filled with holes, holes that shouldn't have been made on purpose. The ending is unsatisfying. They could have added multiple endings, they had 7 years to do so, but they decided not to do so...Interesting...really interesting...I wonder what was more important to them during all these 7 years...The story? Or the graphics...the cinema...the movie like feeling...
    The replayability - Well, we all can guess about that...

    i want to add some important things that I think should be addressed as well cause little has been talked about it, and I will include this in my review.
    First, crunch culture. People crunched their butt out to make this game, risking their lives in bad conditions to provide a product. if any of you, customers, or 'wallets' have no feelings for them or reconsider, "maybe the company crunches them too much, maybe they shouldn't work so hard to the point where it's health risky" If none of you even thinks about these people, you are pathetic, undeserving beings and should be ashamed to yourselves!
    No one should make a game at the expense of their health.

    Second. The DMCA strikes. I saw what you did Naughty Dog, Neil. A lot of it was unjustified and you should be ashamed of yourselves! A pathetic management with pathetic and boring ideologies.

    The final review after summing it all up is sligthly above average. 6/10
    It's an average and sligthly average at best.
    You may not like it from both sides, if so, replay the game and read my review again. There are better games that you can play the will play with your emotion strings to heart and not in a cheap way.
    Good examples are 'Nier Automata' and 'Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice'. Try these for a change if haven't done that yet...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First review I have ever written, but i have to do this to blow some kinda steam out. I was such a big fan of the first game, played it countless times. Loved everything about it. As a huge fan of the first game, this game just hurts. Characters you fell in love with, they lose. They lose everything. And it gets worse and worse for them as you play through all the way to the very end. And the characters you dislike, the villains, they win. And i just don't understand how this could have gone in the direction it did. Its disgusting. When i got to the end, it just felt like i was staring at a big fat game over loss screen that i could not go back to and win. I just lost and now i have to deal with that.

    Its tragic because i actually loved a lot of things as i was initially playing the game. The gameplay, the graphics, the voice acting, the horror aspects, the musical score. So many things i was enjoying, but the story was so poorly written and executed that it was actually a distraction from these good features of the game.

    So lets talk about this story. Its hard not to talk about the first game during this because the story of the first game got so much right. It built up characters that the players fell in love with and cared for. Characters that we could relate to, with flaws that we could understand. We witnessed the journey and shared the emotions of the various characters we encountered throughout the game. It was so enjoyable and because of this we were excited to see how this story could continue.

    What we got instead was poorly written revenge story with shallow characters, that the players didn't know and never care for. We weren't built up to like any of the new characters. And the characters we came to love from the first suffer and they suffered as a result of not being the characters they were in the first. Players are forced to witness a tragic, gruesome death of one character as a result, and its a death that was hard to watch. Players wanted revenge just like Ellie. They wanted payback for this hurt. Instead we are forced to play as the killer for 8-10 hours? Forced to fight and try to kill Ellie and Ellie's friends? Then we let the killer get away and we leave Ellie with nothing.

    Why? How does this make sense as a good story to tell to your fanbase who loved your first game so much?I understand for some stories, especially in a world like the last of us, characters will die. That's fine. But what was the point in this? We suffer, and these characters we care for suffer, and nothing enjoyable came from that whole experience. Many people dont care for whatever message this game was trying to communicate. It sacrificed too much to try to deliver this message and instead players are angry and hurt and NaughtyDog is going to have to deal with that.

    I'm done talking about it. I'm going to redownload the first game now and experience what made the FIRST last of us great.

    第一部E3首发预告片里爱丽弹着吉他，地上全是尸体，然后乔尔走进来（别说听不出是乔尔，哪怕云个一遍也听得出），询问爱丽，爱丽表示要对某个组织复仇，当时大家都猜测是爱丽的女友或某个亲近的人死了
    然后发售前的一个预告更过分，爱丽经过一系列战斗后，被乔尔从背后抱住说了句“你以为我会丢下你一个人不管吗”这分明是误导大家，乔尔至少活到陪同爱丽一起复仇，当时国外各大主播对这部预告的反应，都是之前毫无波澜，看到乔尔后集体欢呼。结果发售后2小时，玩家们都傻了，于是差评铺天盖地。顽皮狗坐不住了，开始又婊又立，说是为了创新，为了坚持理念而不盲从主流。

    Volete le motivazioni di chi pur amando il franchise ritiene parte due una schifezza immonda ? Nel primo vediamo che Joel si accorse di un imboscata subito, era un uomo con esperienza, un uomo con la puzza sotto al naso, nella parte due ? Trasformato in un fessacchiotto. Parliamo dei muscoli di abby, una donna al naturale é impossibile possa mettere tutta quella massa, hanno più o meno il 25% di massa muscolare in meno di un uomo, abby si dopa ? Per non parlare del nonsense del finale di Ellie, dopo aver ucciso quasi tutti si ferma, gemità, un finale pessimo, da giocatore mi sono sentito vuoto e inutile, soprattutto dopo aver visto come si era ridotta per non essere riuscita a vendicare Joel.
    Poi quando Ellie accusa Joel per averla salvata, perché la nostra cara dopo aver saputo la verità non si é offerta a qualche dottore di sua spontanea volontà? Buchi di trama grandi come una casa .
    É inutile poi farci giocare per ben 11 ore nei panni di abby per farci in qualche modo piacere il suo personaggio, noi siamo Joel, la sua storia é la nostra storia, Joel é il personaggio principale del primo, Abby? Resta un nemico, nonostante ripercorra le gesta del nostro Joel, entrambi dei mostri, si, ma un mostro eravamo noi l'altro mostro? É Abby, Ci ha ucciso, ha ucciso la nostra storia, la storia di parte 1. Impossibile amare quel personaggio, impossibile.

    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]
