    This game is an absolute waste of time and money. Terrible story and terrible new uninteresting characters. It's a disgrace for the first game that came out 7 years ago.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are great aswell as the attention to detail, gameplay is nice because it innovates from the first but doesn’t stray to far from the original but I think the story was disappointing. If you started with Abby’s sections and Ellie and Joel flashbacks the game could of been better then but I couldn’t sympathise with Abby because it’s depicts her as the villain but then ten switches her to the victim it doesn’t move me. I’m fine with Ellie and Dina being lesbians and Lev being exiled actually fells like that would happen with a cult but it just doesn’t make me feel like I should care for some deaths like Jesse, Owen or anyone else because there isn’t enough time with them to fully develop with me.… Expand

    Incredible game. It generates empathy in a very smart and progressive way. A beautiful and violent story about how love wins over hate.

    This game has no respect for its previous work, but Abby's revenge is positive, Ellie's revenge was denied, Neil Druckman put aside previous character as trash.

    Игра шедевр. Прошёл её до конца, и могу сказать, что она заслуживает 8 балов минимум, но обезьяны которые в неё даже не играли пошли её дизлайкать. Я просто похлопаю.

    This game is such a wonderful game. It's the most enjoyable game I had ever play. Those who are upset about the story or characters development or those who want a game with a total separation with bad and good characters. Need to watch a Marvel movie instead of playing this game. You dont deserve it ;)

    A complete disservice to the many fans of the series. This game is not at all what we wanted or deserved. I am thoroughly disappointed in everyone who took part in creating this game.

    One of the best, if not the best game i ever played. Graphics, gameplay, voice acting, story, everything is done perfectly. Naughy Dog have done the impossible: A sequel that managed to be better than its already amazing first game. Bravo, Naughy Dog.

If TLOU 2 isn't a 'good' game then I really don't know what a good game is. I do understand *some* of the hate, even though I think a very small amount of it comes from people who have actually played through the game.

    The story skips back and forth a lot, to the point where the end product feels a little jumbled. And the pacing in the first half isn't great, I was starting to get a little bored before the story dramatically changes gears. And while I don't particularly agree with the notion that the game didn't add enough onto the first game mechanics wise, I can understand that some people may have been wanting more new upgrades and weapons then they got. For the most part the game sticks with the same upgrades that were introduced in the first game.

    But simply put, I can't think of many revenge stories better told than this one is. Certainly one has never taken advantage of a video game as a storytelling device more effectively. In its opening hours, the game gives you incredibly strong motivation to hunt and hurt the villians of the story. Over the course of this 30ish hour game however, the lust for revenge and violence ebbs away as you become emotionally invested in the people that are dotted throughout a story, and you see how much this journey takes from the people undertaking it. More harrowingly, Naughty Dog continually build the people in this journey up as likeable, human characters, and then tear them away from you in normally senseless and brutal ways; that's the world this game is set in.

    People who say this story sucks might have missed the point of the first game, or simply take issue with the more progressive plot points in the game whether they realise it or not. But every moment in this game is so carefully crafted to lend itself to the story, and the acting and animation of everyone in both the cutscenes and the gameplay is beyond incredible. The small comments characters make to themselves or each other which normally mirror what you're thinking continually align yourself with who you're playing as. The high level of quality over everything is so much more than just gud graphics. It's the work of a studio completely devoted to creating an experience where every encounter adds more onto your understanding of these characters as people.

    This game should make you incredibly uncomfortable, which I think is the strongest valid reason to not enjoy it. But it should make you feel uncomfortable because you're a human being, and it's hard to watch what these human beings are capable of doing to each other. For that and all the reasons above, is why I think this game has been an incredible way to cap off this console generation. The controversy will die down as people find other things to complain about, but this game is going to be long remembered as the incredible technical and creative feat that it is.    … Expand

A lot of things are forced and pressed on to the consumers to suit their agenda and they do it through out the game, deliberately.

    The story is continued with weak motivation and logic. The genre in itself is understandably unforgiving and vicious but they failed to deliver it the way they did in the part 1. This is the output of a twisted mind, although the message they tried to put out is insightful they utterly failed to represent it in a noble way and thats what hurt the most gamer's sentimental value they had for the game.

    It was a traumatic experience for me, I didn't wish to continue after 2 hours into the game. My disappointment is immeasurable to discern after waiting for 5 years! I wish I could undo/unsee what I witnessed.

    Props to the game designers and graphics team! One of the prettiest visuals and CG work!    … Expand

    Unfortunately the main reasons why I didn't enjoy this game are:
    1- complete false advertising on representation of the game, they make ubelieve that joe was going to be an imñortant character during, at least, a big portion of the game.
    2- i don't see a game here, just an interactive movie with a very noticeaboe agenda to cover

    One of the best titles ruined by a self-absorbed producer who is not as talented as he think he is. Fair enough most aspects of the game are great, but the problem is it's called the last of us part 2 and the fact that the plot is so bad and full of retarded holes is simply unacceptable. The more you love the first game, the more you will hate this one

    They did some interesting stuff with the story (as a player will you hold onto your hate just like Ellie)

    I love TLOU1 because of the story, its characters and the narrative. I thought it was amazingly well done.

    My biggest issue with the game is the same reason why a lot of people are hating the game, I will not spoil it here but honestly the people hating the game have a point.
    But I could never call it a bad game, honestly it's an amazing game.
    But its biggest enemy it's PART1, The love people have for the first game it's the reason the story is not being well received by many, because the plot in PART2 goes into a completely different direction than the last game. And honestly it's very reasonable that so many people are disliking the story.
    But after analyzing the game a lot, playing it for a second time and watching a lot of reactions by different streamers online, I do think the game and the story do deliver it just that the direction that took is not what many of us wanted.
    But I can not call it bad. In my opinion it is really good, and I think it's worth playing and having the experience for yourself, it's dark, it's vengeful and immersive. However, it is harsh when it comes around the last game and if you do love the last game (just like I do) there is a big possibility you don't like the story.
    But I still believe it's worth playing.    … Expand

    The way they handled the plot was perfect and no matter what ,the story made sense. The way they made us understand why abby did what she did and actually sympathize with her and just wanted for her to settle and be happy.
    Ellie had a great character development at the end in which she doesn't kill abby for killing joel and understood that abby had to do what she had to do. And just like the first one it got me feeling empty when i finished playing it. So thank you naughy dog for this masterpiece. I highly recommend that you reflect back and understand the story rather than just hating it.    … 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]
