    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review is full of spoilers.

    First of all, there is a difference between a bad game and a game that you don't like.

    I finished the game couple of days ago so, I took a day or two to process my feelings about the whole storyline of this game I feel miserable, sad and depressed, I feel like I have a hole in my chest after finishing the game. No wonder it is facing huge criticism from the fans. I don't think this is a bad game but a game that I didn't like. It is a miserable game and that's how it was meant to be. It was meant to be divisive, it was meant to make you feel the roller coaster of emotions that you were going through throughout the game. I don't think any game has made me this miserable before and that's what this game does well.

    This game isn't perfect but just look at the Metacritic scores: 100/100. I don't get it, how?

    Also, I understand that there will always be trolls who haven't even played the game yet commenting stupid stuff calling people out in the company for pushing agendas but it is just outrageous calling your ultimate consumers incels, transphobic, homophobic, sexist bots for not liking the game.

    Now the ending it leads me in complete despair. I completely understand people who are saying it was a thrash ending. There is a loop of getting revenge, losing things, murder, getting revenge, losing more. Ellie broke the circle finally but it felt like it was too late for that and weird time to break the circle. I wanna be happy that she grew as a person but again I am miserable because she had lost everything to get that.
    Now on Abby's side of things. She was a decent character but I never ended up liking her.

    The first of half of the game when we were playing as Ellie I thought this was a 10/10 game but when we swapped to Abby I kinda lost interest I am not gonna lie ( the only time I somewhat enjoyed playing as her was when we had to defeat the rat king and WLF vs Scars battle)

    I just didn't like Abby although I understood where she was coming from.

    Like the surgeon who you mindlessly killed in the last game had a huge impact on the story, I like that tie-up. They introduced Abby at the very beginning of the game and then she kills our beloved character from the last game. The thing I don't understand is why did they think that we will ever like her?

    I felt like I couldn't sympathise with her, I understood her but I couldn't connect to her which Naughty dog desperately wanted you to.

    You built up this crazy story with Joel and Ellie and then you move into the first game and then move into the second game where you kill Joel right at the start and then you only get to play with Ellie for the first half the game and then right at the end. I didn't like that.

    I think Abby could have been a good offshoot game. A totally separate story in the same universe but don't throw her into this. Not with Ellie and Joel.
    And what is up with killing all the wonderful side characters? Now, Joel's death is particulars tough to swallow because the way he died was just not acceptable.
    The story didn't let him and Ellie explore their relationship. They just cut it off with his sudden death. Now about Joel, he is a hard & tough survivor, always on his game and not trusting people. But all of a sudden he starts acting willy nilly running to an unknown base.
    It was forced and little hard to make logic of.
    it was a tough scenario I understand like they were getting ambushed they really didn't have a choice. But still, at the same time, I wish his death meant more to Naughty dog.
    I wished there were some more things that had taken place before his death
    He was the hero of the first game and we lost him immediately.
    I appreciate the flashbacks but that does not rationalize anything.
    This is a gloomy sad miserable game that scared me and depressed me, to be honest, It was hard to play this game for an extended period because it was so dismal.

    As per the gameplay, TLOU 2 is a great survivor horror-based game. The openness, graphic, animations, cinematography, verticality and mechanics.
    What else can we expect from a 2020 game?

    Verdict: After 7 years of wait, I was not expecting this cruelty. I don't know why Naughty dog couldn't give us what we wanted after waiting for this long.
    Imagine how bad the Naughty dog team must be feeling who have worked hard for 7 years and facing such backlash just because of a dimwit named Neil Druckman.

    Misleading trailers, editing stills, desperate attempts to lure people in. Very petty and shallow marketing tactics I would say. You already have a massive fan base why would you do that?
    Injustice was done to Joel, Ellie and the fans.
    The rage is rage and criticism is justified according to me.
    Abby geta a clean slate whereas Ellie lost everything including her 2 fingers. Farewell to her guitar skills.

    My Rating 5/10 (for the hardworking people behind it)

AND on top of that, people are saying all bad reviews are due to homofobia? LGBTQ+ hate? Really? No chance of it being due to the game having flaws in a lot of people's eyes, or what do we call it, their opinion? Both sides are being really pathetic over this, this game has drastic changes compared to the first one, they take away the things people love from the series, people won't react nicely, but to blame it all on minor aspects of the game like a character being trans or the other being really muscular? If you really liked the game you would listen what others think about this game, be it good or bad and allowing discussion, but how people are acting is really infuriating, i really liked a lot of parts of this game, mostly Abby parts, but how the game at it's core is all mixed up, i cant bring myself to give this game a rating higher than 5, and how people are acting like this is **** whilst ignoring the technical aspects, gameplay and all other things due to the critics reviews is unfair makes me not want to give this game a score under 5. And as counter measures people are counter review bombing this with 10's making the other side continue bombing this with 0's, the thing i recommend the most for you to do is, play the game, form your opinion, dont baseless say this game is a masterpiece because other people are saying its trash, dont say its trash since other people say its a unflawed. Form your opinion. And i hope people stop ignoring this game's flaws and this game's right doings.
    This game's reviews is a prime example why people shouldn't trust reviews and should trust their own gut. And if someone were to ask me: "Should i buy this game?" i'd tell them no, but there's always a chance you could like it.

    Beautiful game, spot on voice acting, sub-par story with any sense of achievement or fulfilment from playing the game through to completion denied to you. I know that this was the story you wanted to tell and you told it well, but it wasn't at all the story I wanted to play through so that's a fat return. :(

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve only and I can’t stress enough on ONLY given this game a three star review and that is pushing it like genuine review probably 4.5 - 5 out of 10 and that is solely based on the parts where you play as Ellie, and the gameplay as a whole because if you liked/loved TLOU the gameplay is more or less the same and being a guitar fan I do like the little snippets of Ellie’s new talent being put on show, but that is where the good in this game ends completely, but I’ll explain.

    I felt lied to from the trailers and overwhelming disappointed in the direction they chose for this game, I absolutely hate and I mean actually hate the character Abby and wanted nothing more than to stop her from breathing in the game I don’t give a rats arse about her backstory, maybe if she was in the first game and it was about her, but no, she is the invader and she is a psychopathic monster that I just wanted the closure of killing her to end that game, but even if I did get that when finishing the game there is absolutely nothing as a reward, Ellie this character that we have grown to love has been dragged through the mud and made to be some mental case and is ultimately left with nothing, “congratulations for finishing the game all that’s left is for the main character to kill herself because why not” they couldn’t of destroyed what was a masterpiece of a story more if they tried (wait no they could make you play as Abby for longer that would do it) first thing I did when I was forced to play as this terrible character is run to the first point where I was able to get killed, I no lo her cared about getting caught by enemy’s or detected by infected I just ran straight in, I mean I wasn’t getting any satisfaction from the game I might aswell get it from watching the character i just wanted to die from the start die over and over again. This game was about as enjoyable as bowel cancer... if you make a part III please just use it to erase the abortion of a game this was by making it all a horrible dream. And this time don’t pretend to include characters you kill off in the first 30 minutes of the game. It’ll take a lot to earn your fan base’s trust back Naughty dog, but for the sake of the amazing content you use to make, I hope you do.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog was my second best game company after Rockstar but they are no where near my tenth as of now. They ruined a perfectly likeable game and character for literally everyone. There's so many ways this story could have gone. The fact that they deliberately decided to murder a beloved character in the most contrived and gruesome way possible while fully understanding the effects of this choice on the millions of fans out there is as disrespectful as it is outrageous. There's so many ways the story could've progressed without killing off Joel. Pretty much everyone's "raison d'être" for playing the game. I probably could've come up a better story than this contrived **** being force fed to fans because they lack the motivation to tell a good compelling and engaging story like the prequel. If they wanted revenge to be the backbone of this story, they could have pulled it off regardless in a remarkable fashion without having to murder the main reason why people were gonna buy the game. This obviously explains why they lied to everyone about everything. Even the trailer was a **** lie. If you wanted a revenge story and relished the thought of murdering one of the characters, why not perhaps kill off Tommy and have Joel and Ellie go avenge his death. Seems pretty logical to me. The Joel in the TLOU certainly will do that if he lost his brother and I can totally see Ellie tagging along considering Joel will be pretty old and not as agile and strong as he used to be. If that's still too extreme, why not murder say a pregnant Maria and leave Tommy badly injured in a raid so much that he has to rely on Joel and Ellie to exact revenge for his beloved wife in his stead. Or why not destroy the town, kill a few people if you have to and mortally hurt Joel if you wanted to have Ellie go solo. Beat him up, even shoot off his leg like you did but keep him alive. It will make better sense why Ellie spared Abby's life in the end.
    I could think of so many other scenarios and despite not being a writer, I can tell the story was forced. Forced so much that even if they tried, there will always still be loose ends and half plots to deal with. The game just feels broken and messed up on so many levels, I can't help but think this is some sort of a propaganda story. They had no reason to kill off Joel, yet they did, to prove a useless point that makes no sense at all.
    I'm not gonna say anything positive about this game because when you start a game on such a badly horrific note, that's what you're gonna get. It destroyed the experience for me and I can't help but wish the game never released at all. Or it released with completely different characters telling a completely different story. You deserve a lot less than you're getting Naughty Dog. Better be grateful!

    The Last of Us Part II is the much anticipated sequel to The Last of Us. Expectations were high but unfortunately it just didn't deliver. That being said the game isn't terrible or the worst of the worst but it also isn't a masterpiece (definitely not as good as the first game).

    The Last of Us Part II is the much anticipated sequel to The Last of Us. Expectations were high but unfortunately it just didn't deliver. That being said the game isn't terrible or the worst of the worst but it also isn't a masterpiece (definitely not as good as the first game).

    The Story and Characters (The Writing):
    It is bad. It had some good ideas but the execution is very poorly done. The more you think about the story the more you realize how bad and nonsensical it is. You'll have plot points happen which are plain stupid and have characters do things which frankly make no sense. The pacing needed a lot of work and considering how high expectations were for the writing with The Last of Us Part II being a narrative driven game this is not good. FYI it isn't terrible because it has some good moments and if restructured could have been better than what we got.

    Gameplay:
    What's a game without gameplay. The Last of Us Part II's gameplay is solid. It plays the exact same way as the first game with the addition of a dodge button and a few tweaks to movement and combat (honestly its like a clunkier Uncharted 4...) but the gameplay is average, it works although more innovation would have been nice.

    Technical Aspects (Graphics, Sound Design, Music, Voice Acting):
    From a technical stand point the game is amazing. The graphics are absolutely beautiful and the attention to detail is a thing to behold. The sound in this game is wonderful too, the musical score and voice acting are top notch and a pleasure to listen to. Technical aspect wise they nailed it (although there's some technical issues to iron out and enemies could have used some more variety).

    Final Thoughts:
    The Last of Us Part II is an average game. The story and the writing is bad yes but the game itself is okay. The solid gameplay and great technical aspects help make the game better. That being said given all the hype and expectation it is a huge letdown and definitely soured me towards the franchise.

    (It's not a bad game in spite of the poor writing but I also wouldn't call it good either and definitely not amazing. Average game)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLDR @ the bottom.

    The original Last of Us released 7 years ago when I was at the age of 14, it has always been regarded as the best game that I have ever played due to it's story telling, world building, sound design, character development, and graphics. So heading into The Last of Us Part 2, I had high expectations of course, Naughty Dog was well established as a amazing game development company that is always pushing the envelope. So heading into the game I was completely left in the dark, I did not watch reviews, or check out any of the story spoilers.

    The Last of Us Part 2 continues to push boundaries in regards to the graphics, sound design and overall immersiveness but it falls flat on it's story telling. When entering Seattle and taking in the level designs it's absolutely gorgeous how the game looks, and how it presents itself overall. The first half of the game keeps you captivated, it was absolutely amazing to play as Ellie again. You come to understand a lot more about Ellie and what happened during the years between the first game and the second game. Just as we hit the climax however, the story stops completely and begins the second half of the game. It kills all momentum from the first half and I felt the need to speed past this section of the game so I continue on the Ellie's story.

    Abby's section felt slow, I wasn't really invested into her story, mostly because I more invested in Ellie due to the first game. Now I'm not sure if this is the games problem, or a me problem, I just could not get into Abby's story emotionally. I feel like it's partially due to how she is shown during the first act of the story. We see her as cold, and brutal, and then the game tries to make us sympathize with her. I believe if they showed her flashbacks and story first and then Ellie's we would have come to understand her more. I don't hate her story, I just dislike how she is portrayed.

    I don't hate the game, I find it enjoyable at times and really amazing in a lot aspects, if Naughty Dog's aim was to make you feel a roller-coaster of emotions, I'd say they did it. A lot of people like this game, and a lot of people hate it, I think the best course of action is to experience it yourself, wither that through playing the game(would wait for a sale) or watching someone play. You make like it, you may hate it, or maybe find it okay, I personally find the game okay, it's a not a bad game, but it's not a good game. It's an okay game. It definitely does not deserve a 0/10, but it does not desire a 10/10.

    Ratings:
    Graphics: 10/10
    Sound: 10/10
    Level Design: 10/10
    Gameplay: 10/10
    Story: 2/10

    TLDR: Game is not bad, it's not good, it's okay.

    I had such high hopes when i first bought it. I have successfully evaded the spoilers of the game when they were leaked however i feel as if i should've seen those before buying the game. The story is an utter mess which is the MOST important part of the game. How can you mess up a STORY based game while throwing that STORY in the garbage.

    What is annoying me too is HOW they handled

    What is annoying me too is HOW they handled some characters. Characters that suddenly do stuff they did the opposite of in the first game MAKES NO sense. How are you able to mess up characters like that? There is a short * Tasteful Scene* in the game which nearly lead me to STOP playing the game because of how utterly disgusting it was. The end is so bad it questions you why the heck you played the game to get such a dumb ending.

    Gameplay: is good if you like the ctrl+c - ctrl+v from the first one with some small changes. This however was not good enough for me. Too easy to do certainly when you had so many years of development!
    Graphics and the Level design: The Graphics are gorgeous and the levels are very well made.
    Animations: The animations are really well done
    Music: Excellent music.

    Making a real review for this game with spoilers (aka not a meme review):

    The gameplay works for me, it doesn't really have to be revolutionary. The story is really spotty, Joels death makes the part of the game with Abby not really enjoyable, and it makes the story kinda irrelevant. Personally i think that if i would be with Ellie throughout the game i think i would like the game much

    A very strong ending and storyline definitely not made for the close minded, though the game lacked decision making ,forcing very hard choices to all the players did not help either, apart from the fact that all characters were flat, Im sure all players missed the Ellie they fell in love on the first part,the rest is just a beautifully crafted fictional world that couldn't reach people'sA very strong ending and storyline definitely not made for the close minded, though the game lacked decision making ,forcing very hard choices to all the players did not help either, apart from the fact that all characters were flat, Im sure all players missed the Ellie they fell in love on the first part,the rest is just a beautifully crafted fictional world that couldn't reach people's hearts as well as the first one did,props to the voice actors and the whole team I know you gave it your best!

    The Last of Us PT. 2 is a well made game. Visually it grasps an aspect of reality that no other game has of yet. But, it fails to portray a fully convincing or entertaining story that was expected as a sequel. Being that this is a story focused game, too much weight was placed on it. In the first game that helped because the story was good, in this one, it falls apart

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jogo mediano sem fãnatismo

    Não sou homofóbico e nem preconceituoso , mais querer empurrar isso goela a baixo a todo momento é ridículo .

    Alto teor de Ideologia de gênero , feminismo e militância .
    Historia muito fraca .
    trilha sonora fraca .
    excelentes gráficos e forte realismo .
    Game play muito bom .

    obs. Matar homem branco hétero somente para encher o ego do feminismo foi de mais .
    Joel nunca cairia nessa armadinha forçada , e aqui no brasil ninguém pode reclamar se não é machista ou homofóbico .
    Me lembro que na época do ps1/ps2 rolou alguma coisa sobre sexualização de personagens feminino nos jogos , onde eu controla Lara Croft em trajes de banho e a turma do feminismo retirou isso .
    Agora tem que ser retirado esse alto teor de ideologia de gênero e feminismo dos jogos também .
    Terminei o jogo com 40 horas com vontade de vomitar , não sei para que fazer isso com o jogo .
    Eu comprei e paguei pelo jogo tenho total direito de reclamar sim , todos tem .
    Não comprarei mais nenhum jogo dessa empresa me senti enganado , nos trailers mostrava o Joel como jogável , passava a impressão que a gente iria ver ele até no final do jogo .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visuals were great. Gameplay was mostly solid. Story choices made me regret buying the game. I appreciate that naughty dog took a chance, but it just didn't work for me. Sad because I liked the game until the switch to Abby and realizing I'd have to play the next 3 chapters as her with no break. 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]
