    I did not enjoy playing this game. And I don't think I'll ever play another Naughty Dog game again.

    You'd think naughty dog would've learned a lesson from GoT's final season on how to not piss off your audience but dear reader your probably much better off loading up the original game and pretending it's an only child . Last of us 2 is filled to the brim with lovely visuals    I did not enjoy playing this game. And I don't think I'll ever play another Naughty Dog game again.

    You'd think naughty dog would've learned a lesson from GoT's final season on how to not piss off your audience but dear reader your probably much better off loading up the original game and pretending it's an only child .

    Last of us 2 is filled to the brim with lovely visuals ,cutting gameplay and good music. A shame it doesn't take away from the fact that going through the story puts you in the shoes of a loathed character your supposed to sympathize with , who mere moments before we learn of her story had very brutally dispatched the father of our beloved father daughter duo of the first game because an NPC of the first game was suddenly given a name, and a family.

    I guess the take away from this was supposed to be those seeing revenge should dig two graves or something, but it was so poorly executed each death along our quest to tear Abby a new one just made me salivate for her blood even more. And we didn't even get that.

    Yes we are supposed to to go , oh, well I guess we're supposed to forgive this. You know it did flash me back to another game with a fantastic story were an older man bonds with a young girl through a zombie apocalypse. I wonder if father figures like Lee and Joel go to the same heaven. Lee would be like : I died heroically saving my charge , how did you die? And then Joel will be like : I died because Naughty Dog needed a throwaway character to start off on the most unfulfilling revenge plot line that was ever written in gaming history. And then Lee would be like : That's rough buddy.

    Anyway TLDR, Unfulfilling unsatisfying and rage inducing plot, unsatisfying flat characters, beloved characters making stupid choices.... just no. Save your money, watch a lets play.    … Expand

    If it was a single - ok.
    But its sequel - too bad.
    It breaks my heart too, but I really did not expect such a poor story after all these years of waiting.

    Narrative structure wasnt the best, however it had a very complex story. It may have not been the story fans wanted/expected but its a story true to the universe of TLOU. Apart from some pacing/structure issues, this is a game that will age better with time

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely stunning, and I was continually shocked at the levels of detail and nuance used throughout. I am happy to have avoided the leaks before the game came out - even though I caught wind of Joel's demise - because that left me able to make up my own mind with the game.

    I read and hear people saying that things didn't make sense with either how characters acted in a certain situation instead of being more suspicious. But what they're not taking into account is what often happens after a high stress situation - you relax. Even if just for a little bit. Joel, Tommy and Abby had gone through a high stress situation together. They worked as a team to survive. It makes sense that their guard was down. Disappointing, but it happened.

    As players in an RPG, we don't get that personal experience because we're taught to be on guard the whole time, and most importantly - by our self with no-one else to rely upon. So, naturally, our guard will stay up after a tense exchange with the WLF, The Seraphites or the Infected. No-one has our back, so it's in our best interests to stay on guard until the ominous music stops.

    It seems the critiques of this situation are purely taking an intellectual perspective, rather than taking into account the emotion side as well. It's always easy to "As if" from the sidelines...

    Next thing:

    Any complaints about LGBT inclusion in the game as being political, woke, or any other description is missing the point. This is commentary on both the past and present acceptance of this community. To be accepting of it isn't about being "woke", it's purely about acceptance of another human being. The reason it's being talked about nowadays is because it's no longer taboo, or putting someone's life at risk for that being their life. TLOU2 shows the cross of old thinking with current acceptance - The Scars vs. Abby. It also shows that some elements and struggles in a post-apocalyptic may not be that different from what we experience in our comfortable arm-chair lifestyle that we have today.

    Last thing:

    I hear complaints about not enough advancements in game-play mechanics. TLOU has always been about story first. In fact, Naughty Dog has been very consistent with this right from the beginning of the Uncharted series. Yeah, the gameplay mechanics were ok, but it was the STORY and characters that we connected with the most. ND pioneered mo-cap, and moved the industry as a result. When we talk about our favourite moments in TLOU1, it's not about this or that fight that we had. We talk about the moments that were cinematics - moments that we were the passenger as that moment of the story unfolded. Ummmm.... Same thing here! Yeah, there were improvements to gameplay mechanics - were they revolutionary? Mostly no. But that's not where their full efforts go. Everyone loved the first game even though there was wide acknowledgement that the gameplay mechanics weren't as good as othe games. This is called balance.

    Ok, ACTUAL last thing...

    I don't know how people were finishing the game in 25-28 hours! It took me just shy of 41 hours over 4 days to knock this game out. I got complete value for money out of it. Yes, I looked in every nook and cranny to get the most out of it. I soaked it all up. All the little details hiding in the different corners. This is a HUUUGE RPG, and so worth exploring all the little details that this team has worked tirelessly to be able to achieve.

    I absolutely loved this game. I'll play it again and again for sure. Perfectly legitimised itself as a sequel with beautifully executed ties to the first one to create drama and resolution.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is great, an amazing sequel to tlou and just all out great. Man **** the negativity the only reason why people rate this game bad is 1) they are just hopping on the ban waggin of negativity. 2) not finished the game. 3) bots. 4) the leaks. PS the leaks mean nothing. 5) expecting the game to have the same storyline, same linear, same everything. Hey hate to break it to ya, no game can be exactly the same. Wanna bet that if we got the same linear story people wouldn’t like it. Tlou 2 is open, not just in exploration, but in themes, gay, trans and many other things violence, revenge those things. I’ve finished the game and let me tell you all you haters this game is art. Meaning 50% chance of people liking it and the other 50% not liking it. But all this hate is pure stupidness, fake haters only looking for clout or ban waggin. It’s so dumb HATERS GO PLAY THE GAME YOURSELVES AND DON’T COME BACK UNTIL YOU GOT YOUR REAL!! OPINION.… Expand

    Must say i love the game. It puts me in a mood like no other game does.

    Never before have i experienced such a "thrill" to stay alive. The environmental storytelling is (again) on point and sometimes lets you forget that you are playing in a fictional world. All of Seattle just seems authentic and beatifully crafted. Admitted: revenge plots are not my favourites but i still think its    Must say i love the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is the biggest disappointment during my whole gamelife. We didn't wait for this. Gameplay, graphics and etc. are pretty good, not on the top level, but good. And the main problem isn't Neil's desire to please leftists. The main problem is the story, the plot, it's so bad, so disappointing, but first of all - it's not even close to the First part. Second half of the game... It was very-very difficult to make fans feel something good to Abby, killer of Joel! And all this stuff with Dogs and Scars, with these children. Maybe this is not bad, but this is not The Last of Us, this is not Our Story, and of course this is not interesting to us, fans. I didn't feel any emotion during playing as Abby. And why we playing as Abby and trying to kill Ellie, just why??? It's awful... Next, the ending. It can't compare with the ending of the First part. Just compare your emotions... The First part is better in any aspect, the MAIN MENU, the SOUNDTRACK, the STORY, the ENDING! Naughty Dog could create magnificent story, there was big space to create, but they'd preferred to break our hearts, fans hearts.… Expand

    This game is emetic powder in a beautiful package. You have to be very special to want to look at some of the characters in the game. Naughty Dog went the BioWare way and will end up there.

    لا انصح بهذه اللعبة لانها بها شذوذ جنسي واخلاق سيئة يتم تعليمها وغرسها في الاطفال والشباب

    I do not recommend this game because it has homosexuality and bad morals that are taught and instilled in children and youth

    I so wanted this to be good- but just no, no man. The game is beautiful. But when you have a story and characters from the first TLOU, and completely spit on those characters to make some sort of political point- you loose your fan base. Good job Neil, way to screw up something that could have been easily game of the year.

    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]
