    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really don’t know how to describe what I’ve been threw in the 20 hours of gameplay. I don’t understand the meaning of the game. Joel’s death I guess nothing to Ellie because some how after pretty much killing all of her friends and now going to kill abby, Ellie some how feels bad for abby ( in which I was in raged about ) without the death of abby this game felt no meaning to me. I love when naughty dog try’s to make us feel bad when her friends die but we don’t. Every time one of her friends die I was cheering and rooting her to be next. I wish Jesse didn’t really die in the way he did. I think it was messed up in a way. He didn’t even get to know Dina was pregnant. Overall this game isn’t worth your time. When I finished the game I sat threw the credits wondering what just happened now the last 12 hours of the game. It’s sad to see this game end up this way . There’s going to be a 3rd one and it’s gonna be worse then the second one.… Expand

    Beautiful looking game with dated gameplay and a terrible story. For a single player story based game that is the most important part. It's written like a badly done fan fiction that thinks it's telling a deep story when in reality it's just a mess.

    The game is visually stunning and plays well but unfortunately the gameplay and immaculate detailing are attached to a generic revenge plot that is told in a way that is beyond sub par. It takes beloved characters and forces them to behave uncharacteristically in service to a contrived plot that reeks of pretentiousness. The story itself tells events out of order and from multiple perspectives in an attempt to make you feel the consequences of your actions. This is poorly executed and actions that you took 6 hours ago (which held no weight to them prior to context) are suddenly thrown back in your face but by this time we've already moved on, it's too late to care.

    The attempt at humanizing the game's villains falls flat and becomes infuriating after a certain amount of time, we are forced to play as the primary antagonist of the game for around 10 hours during which time we are mercilessly beaten over the head with attempts to show that this character is just a regular human being with relationships and problems not so different from Joel and Ellie, which is accentuated not so subtly by flashbacks in which the two lead characters of the game are shown in near identical situations. The problem with this attempt at humanization is that the group in discussion has committed an act that will make the vast majority of players loathe the thought of their existence, let alone the attempt at redemption. The attempt itself is also poorly executed often relying on situations in which the characters are shown caring for animals or children. It's as if Niel Druckmann suddenly forgot how to write a compelling character without using crutches.

    Character development in game is essentially non existent, the story being told doesn't allow for much growth by either of our lead characters as it's told in a relatively short period (3 days). The supporting cast is well acted but we are never given enough time with these characters to learn anything about them or develop any sort of meaningful attachment despite them being rather important to the narrative. The dialogue between characters feels forced and messy and as a consequence their relationships feel unbelievable.

    The ending is one of the biggest issues I had with the game, It is drawn out and nonsensical all in order to hammer home the absolutely groundbreaking message that this game delivers which is essentially that revenge is bad. Genius, I know. This point was more than sufficiently hammered in throughout the story and the ending did not need to be compromised to give us another example of how terrible revenge is.

    This story should have been told within the same universe but with original characters, at least then it would only be a sub par sequel and not an insult to the characters that we know and adore, as well as the audience that purchased this game based on the good will that Naughty Dog earned with the original. It's a shame that the technical brilliance of this game will be overshadowed and mared by such a poorly written and sloppily executed story. In an ultra linear game that focuses primarily on story telling, I cannot in good conscience give any bonus points for a gameplay loop established in a previous game or for the insane amount of polish that the game possesses. My personal distaste for the direction of this game has been left out of this review as much as possible, honestly I wanted to give it a Zero but that wouldn't be fair or objective. 4/10 is as fair as I can be.

    If you have any love or nostalgia towards "The Last of Us" then don't play this game, it will alter your perception of the characters and leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth. Knowing where this story leads will likely make it more difficult to enjoy the original game for the masterpiece that it was.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Starting off with what I liked most about that game was the game play it reminded me a lot of the Last of Us I. The graphics were gorgeous and it set the scene for most of the game, I also liked the mechanics but that's about all I truly liked about the game. Now the story... it was okay I was not a big fan of the story. And at times the story just seemed to drag on and I just wanted to the game to FINALLY get to the point, the goal of Ellie. Which did not continue until close to the end of Abby's play through. Which mind you was long and for the most part the worst part of the game not counting Joel's death of course (I will explain my opinion on that later). Abby's play through was just boring to me and I just wanted to get that part out of the way. The one thing that I despised about this part of the game was having to hurt Ellie! For the life of me I wanted no part of that but it had to be done... Now for Joel's death it seemed unnatural and so out of character of him, Joel just, he would never do what he did that resulted in that ambush. I strongly felt that Joel did not deserve to die like that, I'M not saying he did not deserve to die eventually because the guy literally decided to let humanity rot to save Ellie. BUT he did not deserve to have his head bashed in with a gulf club, know I'm not saying he should have died in this action packed scene filled with guns a-blazing or something like that. I personally thought that if you were gonna kill of this beloved character that was loved by all, one of the people of my all time favorite duo. At least have him die protecting the people he cared about like, Ellie or Tommy. I personally expected him to die protecting Ellie from and enemy or an infected not from a gulf club. But other than that I will say the game is okay... but I'm not playing through that again (way to long). But I feel there were better story's that they could have come up with for the TLOU2. Oh and... give the Neil Druckmann a break he's human too. You may not like the game but you shouldn't go harassing the guy.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Imagine this situation. Suppose you are a fan of the Witcher game (I deliberately chose a game of approximately equal cult status), and the publisher showed you a trailer with the continuation of the story of Herald and Ciri. And then the game comes out, and you instantly buy it. And ... Full **** up. This is not a TLOU. Cool graphics, a normal plot with gray morality, good gameplay, but this is some other game. I am now using the TLOU2 plot in The Witcher World. This is a spoiler ... A dumb pumped woman kills Herald from Rivia at the very beginning of the game, and you are offered to play for Ciri to avenge Herald. When Tsiri reaches the peak moment of his story, you are switched to that dumb woman who killed Herald, and they show that she is exactly the same as Herald. Look, she has the same skills, she has her own Enifer, her own Ciri, we returned the Herald to you, only now he is not a charismatic man, but a boring and not beautiful woman. Rejoice ... Why? How should we like her? That she saved the deer? Oh god ... No. I will not accept it. In general, it lasts another 10-15 hours, and when you reach the peak moment of meeting with Tsiri, you are forced to kill Tsiri with your own hands. Well ****, really? Personally, I just tried to die, but the game made me kill Ciri. This is hell, honestly. Well, the final part is just some kind of cheap Brazilian series.
    In general ... If this story was a separate game, I am sure that the feedback from the players would be good enough. And so. We were deceived ...    … Expand

    To make such a abhorrent sequel to a near-perfect story brings tears to my eyes. LOU2’s story is not a labor of love; It didn’t take 7 years to make; and it makes no sense whatsoever compared to the first game. New characters we care nothing about are shoehorned into the narrative, while characters we know and love are ruined permanently. Such a miserable display.

So I just played it after a year of its release because I was so busy last year &now I was free also there was a good discount on it for days of play or something & I thought it's the right time to buy & play it & I really managed to keep nothing spoiled of the game for me all this time altho it was really hard for me like I knew something was gonna happen to Joel so I was so hyped to play it even now because man I loved the first part like I played it when I was 13 on ps3 then again remastered on ps4 & now I'm 21 so it's better be best experience to remember my childhood & even tho the rating was so bad by the very most of the players & everyone was **** about it & I was like they're hating it because it has gay couples & man that was not the problem because when I finished the game I was never feeling more disgusted about a game like this before honestly the gameplay was so far the best experience that's why im giving the game 4, hear my side of view because I really didn't have any problems with anyone being gay nor Abby having big guns even the death of Joel wasn't the real problem to me because I learnt last year that i can lose anyone at anytime & I shouldn't judge the way that someone died was it surprising or not because I lost my aunt & my uncle 2 different causes & my uncle was like a father to me anyways talked too much i was saying Joel was like a father to me in video games world so I cried my **** when he died & I was really mad & going to kill whoever killed Abby but I knew that there will be a cost even if Ellie died for it I'd be ok if we killed Abby but to get to play as Abby man that was so **** funny like seriously if she could now kill herself to save the humanity I wouldn't sympathize for her like really 10 hours?? What a waste of graphics & gameplay I really was playing myself out just to know the end I wasn't even fighting enemies like I did with Ellie that was really a waste i really wanna know what they were thinking when they made it they could just sums it up with a cutscene about why Abby killed Joel even they can show us she's nice or whatever they were trying to do like I don't really understand the point of showing her nice? Like plz what? I thought the death of Joel would be worth a great ending but that we didn't get & I know that they were trying to show us that revenge is making Ellie doing some bad **** & I don't really care because in their world everyone is killing everyone to survive like what do u want me to expect? Sue Abby?… Expand

    Think about the things you love about the first game and then play it again. Then take some time out of your day to write an essay on how the world around these characters concludes. Read it back to yourself 10 times and hold it dear in your mind. Sell this game if you bought it or do the unsuspecting used buyer a service and destroy it.

    I finished the game in 25 hours, I took my time with it because I was genuinely enjoying the game play. The exploration, the scavenging, the survival horror moments and the guerrilla-ish hit and run combat I did.

    When I was holding the controller it was fun, but whenever I put it down to watch instead? I didn't enjoy what I watched, at all.

In TLOU2 typical gamer exposes himself to a similarly aged sexually attractive action hero character. Who is also a female gay. In budding romance with another teenage female character. Typical heterosexual teenage boys identify themselves with male action characters and are attracted andor fantasize to be in relation with female action characters. So, most (!) of the gamer community members - can do neither of the above in TLOU2. It is confusing and frustrating. Confusion and frustration are in abysmal fun approval rates. But who cares? To hell with gamer community and to kingdom come with fun approval rates. Naughty Dogs got paid well and got approved by the loudest screamers of universe. Life is good. Less so is for the rest. Over-compensative tolerance is a new religion. It's zealots are ruthless. It's apologets - enthusiastic, but near-sighted. History will judge all, but till then - God help us. As an old curse goes: "... wish you to live in interesting time!" Western societies managed themselves to get entangled in some truly hilarious one. Time has come to throw stones. TLOU2 threw them the farest. It's a rampant propaganda piece. Under sheep hides of popular entertainment. Vistas are pretty, though...… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the mechanics, the sounds, the music, the maps, the characters aesthetics and layers of different groups we come across. I like that Joel was present through flashbacks so we felt his impact and presence however the way he died, face down and in front of his loved ones, seemed like a cheap attempt to create a traumatic motivator for Ellie. It made Abby look sadistic. Unfortunately making a character like this enjoyable to play is a difficult challenge and I feel they missed the mark. This would be an issue if this were a movie. Abby didn’t feel like a well developed character, it felt like the plot was written first and she was created to fit into the mirroring aspects too much. I respect what they were trying to do but the second half of the game was a chore to play though as a result. For me they lost this out engagement when they made us play as Abby, a character we don’t like, and get us to hurt a character we like, Ellie. Had we played as Ellie then we w old still have understood both characters perspectives but it wouldn’t feel so uncomfortable for players. Depressing films are fine. A depressing story in a game need much better characters and a hook that makes us enjoy playing them and this game missed than by forcing the ‘mirroring’ in the story writing.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What is the most valuable element of the end of a story? It's the pay-off. In the Last of Us 1, you finish the game with a feeling of satisfaction because you just finished processing a massive plot twist and the final cutscene carries a scent of mystery and anticipation for the next installment while also offering a much-desired pay-off. The Last Of Us 2 however, succeeds in undoing all of that. By the time, I was done with the game, I immediately noticed there was no pay-off but instead all I could feel was an unrelenting sense of emptiness as the main character, Ellie ends up losing everything for nothing and the new character, Abby is the only who has a decent conclusion. The game somehow disrespects all our favorite characters and destroys them like they are nothing and from their remains, they try to build a new character whom we are forced to play as and encouraged to sympathize with. I did my best to try but to no avail, as the game simply put, attempts to coerce us into liking the character and the experience is very similar to a mother stuffing food into a child's mouth because she believes the child enjoys it when they actually don't. The Last Of Us 2 is a tragic story and nothing more. It bears no emotion, only rage with no tears. The pacing of the story is extremely subpar, as well as its narrative as the game constantly forces us through flashbacks within flashbacks and while, this is somewhat tolerable at first, it gets stale very quickly. As for the gameplay, while being jampacked with intense moments where you must 'smart' your way through levels instead of just going in guns blazing, it's still very slow and clunky and there is little innovation between the previous iteration and this one. The Last Of Us 2 is a far cry from its predecessor and throughout its story, it constantly stabs its fans repeatedly with the ending being the final twist of the knife.… Expand

    First off, I'm a huge apocalyptic game fanatic, and I really liked The Last of us 1. I actually only recently played it. The game felt almost like watching a movie, which is what I was expecting with the second one. The voice acting is great, the score is haunting but the narrative was so odd. Forcing a player to play as a character that just murdered Joel. I guess this hurt more considering I just played TLOU1...

I waited so long for it and what we got was less of a sequel to a game we all loved but more of a spinoff where we play as new characters we are supposed to sympathize with but we cannot more than hate. The ending left me with such high depression that makes me unable to touch that game again. There is way more to it that makes it so frustrating but i think it has been said dozens of times enough in all the other reviews on this platform here or others.

I mean, why we have to play as Abby? The character that tortures and kills Joel and Jesse! For the player it's not nice to play with an unbearable and irritating character as her. I was angry and uncomfortable all the second half of the game, and for me, as a player, that was a very negative point. it's like they want us to empathize with her, with her father death, the two Scars and the WLF group. We wanted from the start Ellie's revenge, not Abby's adventure and feels. At the end, when we have the only opportunity to kill Abby, we just let her go. In that way Ellie's journey to kill Abby has no sense, even all the hundreds of people that we killed to get to her and all the people we losed, for nothing! The graphics, the playability, the details and soundtrack are very nice, but what this game makes it special is the storyline and characters. I'm really sorry for the people who waited 7 years for this terrible experience. I was very confident in the narrative work of Naughty Dog, but this with no doubt, was a very disappointing game.… Expand

    Firstly
    I would like to talk about what the game pleases me
    in sound design is something impeacevel
    in graphics and captures of facial expressions is for sure the best game I have ever seen
    the game deserves Goty for having the best fascinating technical details but the way the narrative develops, I believe it was a good narrative but I really didn't feel the emotion of 7 years ago that I had with part 1
    The way the narrative develops
    with Joel's death in a ridiculous way
    made me accumulate a gigantic hate for Abby
    even after 10 HOURS of gameplay showing Abby's story she was not able to take a gigantic hatred of me for her
    The game was based on revenge all the time
    ellie lost everything for that
    when I really thought I would have the satisfaction of watching Abby die
    was give me the human value 'Vengeance only brings the worst' and 'forgiving is right'
    i wish i could be relieved to see ellie be able to kill her and she feel relieved to have got her revenge but it wasn’t me deliver that emotion
    Joel's death made me want to die inside
    the character q in the first game said:
    -do not trust strangers
    left to be taken by a group of armed people
    all that Joel said in part 1 to try to make ellie grow strong was completely forgotten
    this is **** ****
    The whole experience in the game is in vain
    one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen was ellie playing the guitar
    I will never be able to have the same emotion that I felt when I heard her playing and me knowing that Joel was fulfilled his promise to teach her
    all the emotions you have in the game are lost due to causes of 'human values'
    i really wish i could cry like i cried in part 1 after replaying it 5 times
    but I don’t think it’s possible after the feeling of insastification after finishing the game
    The game is perfect in technical matters but fails to make the player feel an emotion equal to 7 years ago with part 1.
    that was my opinion
    may be poorly structured, but it still remains what I think about the game    … Expand

The first last of us for me didn’t need a sequel, the first one for me had a great ending and could’ve just ended like that but in 2016 they revealed the last of us part 2 and I was really hyped for it but after these review bombs I thought people were just hating on it but not playing it so I decided to play it myself and have my own opinion trying not to be negative about, but every time more and more I just get disappointed, we waited 7 years for this?, we don’t even get to know a character well and just get killed for the sake of shock value, Jesse has like 6 scenes and he is killed off immediately and forgotten mostly every death in this game is forgotten, not once did they mention jesse after he died he is only mentioned in Ellie’s journal and not many people read it, the flashbacks looks like it’s out of place, when you start the game you are wondering what happened in the party because they mention it but about 20 hours later they finally show the scene and I completely forgot about that, I feel like they were planning to show that scene in the beginning but they just randomly put a flashback scene anywhere, the flashback scenes are the best thing in the entire game but they are not placed well, I think if they showed all the flashback scenes of Joel and Ellie in the beginning than his death would carry more weight, I didn’t feel nothing in Joel’s death, they keep mentioning this falling out but we don’t see it until like 16 hours in, I knew Joel was gonna die in this game but his death wasn’t really executed well, and the ending had no payoff and that got me really disappointed and I wondered to myself “what was the point of this game if she didn’t achieve her own goal?” The gameplay is the same as the first one and has little improvements, I didn’t get bored of it, but It’s just the same and you waited for this game for 7 years, the AI are so outdated and I beated this game on hard difficulty and the boss fights are the most easiest boss fight I have ever played, this one is about Abby, I think the Abby section is just useless they show some new characters and kill them off for the sake of shock value and Ellie kills all of her friends just to know that revenge is bad, I give this game a 4/10 because it is disappointing to the fans that have waited 7 years for and it didn’t achieve nothing it just tells you that revenge is bad and everyone knows that and no character gets Development.… Expand

    The story was not the best I just finished it. Also all that SJW crap has to go like why is this game pushing it so hard...but The combat and skills was good and the way the camera moved around too.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has great graphics, great gameplay and great sound effects. I cannot say the same thing about the story. The story is where the game becomes the worst thing about the game. They killed off a beloved character in the worst way possible and makes you play as the killer for half of the game. Imagine waiting for the game for 7 yyears and than finding this out.… Expand

    Beautiful game. Looks fantastic. Gameplay is a bit dated but is a slight improvement from the previous game.
    Story however is an absolute mess, and for me the story is what I loved about the first game. Plot holes, characters that act out of character and make dumb decisions, side characters with no depth... these are things I’m very dissapointed in.

    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]
