    This might be well crafted but:
    1/ Scenario is obnoxious and force you to do dishonoring things
    2/ it is repetitive
    3/It disrespect the characters
    4/It has a political Agenda which if you support this game may change the industry in a day you won't like, so please get more informed
    5/ This company has mistreated its employees

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was really dissapointed! The graphics are amazing, but the thing that caught my eye about TLoU1 was the amazing story, - the relationship between Joel and Ellie, the character build-up and the way they don't act as "heroes", but they act human. (Joel, saving Ellie, even though it was selfish, it was human! We grew to love her and also didn't want to sacrifice her!) We waited so long for TLoU2 and we got this?! One of the most loveable characters, just killed with a golf club? Him, giving his identity to a stranger is way out of character! Totally not a way Joel would act! Then, we have to play as the same person that killed Joel, and we have to try and kill the character we grew to love SO MUCH? And you expect us to just feel good about playing as her and betray our favourite characters? In the first game, when the moment came, we didn't want to sacrifice Ellie. Why would we want to kill her now? Why would we want to play as the character that murdered the fan-favourite? You worked so hard and I recognize that. But we waited so long, had our hopes up for another story with our beloved characters - the duo, Joel and Ellie. Why did you think it would be a good idea to force us to play as Abby? I rate it a three, because of the graphics. I refuse to play.… Expand

    Everything about this game surpasses the first one. People who complain about the story are obviously either missing the whole point of the story or have dreamt up a story of their own in the last 7 years and butthurt that it doesn't follow their expectations. The game is an improvement over its predecessor and hits you in the gut with its emotional story and powerful message yet once again!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Holy hell....... Where do I even start with this game, first off we all play video games to make us feel happy not angry or frustrated right? Well unfortunately in this game it's not the case, and no I havent played the game and u don't even need to play it to find out how trash the story really is, the only time where u actually might need to play it is when u want to find out how good the gameplay is, second off this game is a waste of 1. 60 bucks 2. Almost 25 hours of ur life, u can simply just open youtube and watch the whole game without having to spend 60 bucks, but that's up to you if you want, third off if u actually put graphics aside for a bit and compare the first game to this one u will lose ur **** this game is just so **** disappointing to just see this series going from one of my favourite games to this waste of time is just ridiculous, I've watched a streamer play this game and I **** u not I fell asleep the gameplay is so **** repetitive u literally do the same **** over and over again and u don't even feel like ur progressing through the game, all u do is just literally go. Back and forth until u just quit the game, if u were to remove cut scenes from the game no one would play the **** that's because no one plays the game for the gameplay, only the story which surprisingly they **** it up, Joel dies in the first two hours of the game and u don't even get to play with him, he dies in the most dumb way u can possibly think of by trusting and saving some random person he's never heard of then he proceeds to walk into their basement with his brother Tommy with other like 7 people who are some random people, yet in the first game Joel and Tommy barely trusted anyone which doesn't make any sense, after Joel dies by abby, the devs of this game literally force u to play as the character that killed Joel for like 10 hours at some point in the game which obviously makes u feel frustrated, u literally build ur relationship with other characters on the game and then they die because Ellie wants "revenge" yet at the end of the game u don't even kill abby u just spare her, oh and what does Ellie get when she spares her? oh nothing really she just loses two of her fingers and loses her girlfriend and her baby and Tommy, the game makes u feel like a idiot for even spending the time to play it there's nothing to benefit off from playing this game, the best way to describe this game is this "at this point the game doesn't feel like a story, it feels like a **** message"… Expand

    It's not perfect, but I've never been so engaged and moved by a game in my life. This was an ambitious story and I think Naughty Dog pulled it off, for the most part. Is it my favorite game ever? No. Is it a must play? Absolutely.

    For me, the best game of 2020 yet.
    + Really original story that made me angry and also cry in really intense moments.
    + The best graphics on current-gen consoles (getting hyped for ps5 update)
    + Combat system, really brutal and immersive
    + Length - it took me about 30 hours to complete the story
    - When it ended, I wanted more ...

This game was emotionally exhausting to get through, and I've been a wreck for days, but damn if it isn't one of the most amazing journeys I've ever been though, without even leaving my home. The father/daughter dynamic between Joel and Ellie is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking relationships I've ever witnessed, very rarely have I felt such a strong connection to fictional characters, they eventually start to become as real to you as those you love who are actually alive. It's probably a weird and seemingly ridiculous concept for some people to grasp, but I guess you can't always understand something unless you've experienced it firsthand. Anyways, This game deserves none of the hate it's received, it's a daring, dark, hauntingly beautiful narrative that touches on loss, grief, hatred and the true nature of revenge, and it's a hard pill to swallow at times.
    I can't recommend this game enough, but be warned, it's **** heavy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me start this off by saying that I wanted to like this game. I was anticipating its release for the longest time. When it was postponed the second time, I was beyond sad. And when we got a new date, I was so damn happy. I wouldn't shut up about it when speaking to my friends, I kept saying that it would be the greatest game ever made by any company. When I got my hands on it, I was terrified that bad things would happen. I was unaware at the start that we would be lied to by the developers. How were we lied to, you ask? Well, in the trailers we were led to believe that we would be on an adventure with Joel again after all of the years of waiting. We would be getting revenge together for a common disturbance that needed to be rectified. But no, instead of Joel and Ellie speaking in the present, we only see flashbacks. In the teaser trailer, Joel grabs Ellie from behind and when she asks what he's doing here, he says "You think I'd let you do this on your own?" This is one of the main reasons I bought the game in the first place. After his death, we see this same scene again except Jesse is the one grabbing her from behind and saying the SAME EXACT LINE that Joel did in the teaser. In the "screenshots" released, Joel and Ellie's present models were used to make us think we'd be on an adventure with him again. But no, in the game the scenes were just flashbacks. What they did to deceive us, in my opinion, is unfair and heartbreaking. I feel utterly betrayed.

    The story itself is built horribly, making us sympathize with the one who killed Joel. They even force us to play as her. IF we didn't have to play as her, if we had to find her and kill her, the game would've received a way different rating. The story still wouldn't be good, as I personally would've done Joel's death way different. Abby's character and motive to hurt Joel would've been more demented, instead of killing him.. kill someone he loves in retaliation. Say... Tommy. His character at the end of the game was a broken man anyway. If Jackson ever got compromised, he'd surely die with that horrible limp and impaired vision.

    Ellie's decision to let Abby go in the first place is completely pointless. Many love to raise the argument that she did it because "revenge isn't the answer". Well, if that's the case, how do you justify what Abby did? She murdered Joel. Plain and simple. Joel did what he did out of love for Ellie, and Abby did what she did out of love for her own father. Why is it bad that Ellie would want the same thing?

    "I'm gonna find . . . and I'm gonna kill . . . EVERY. LAST. ONE OF THEM. Except for the one who killed my father figure. She gets to live!"

    Makes absolutely no sense to me.

    Here's my final thoughts:

    If you leave a character with less than they started with, or with nothing; then you went absolutely nowhere. You took one step forwards, then two steps back. Ellie lost Joel, her stable relationship with Tommy, Dina and the baby, and her ability to play guitar(which was her only way that she could feel connected to Joel). Having her walk off into the woods makes me thing that Naughty Dog is considering a third game, and I hope they see this.

    PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A THIRD. Your writers have already destroyed this story.

    To the actors, I have nothing against you. I'm assuming you had no say in anything.    … Expand

The amount of detail made me want to take my time and explore every bit of the levels. The puzzles were definitely light in comparison with TLOU, but the ones that stood out were surprisingly natural. Figuring out a solution kind of felt like it wasn't even a fabricated puzzle at all and I just happened to find a way to solve a problem naturally.
    It's crazy how some people are putting this game on blast. Reading a bunch of negative reviews I get the impression that these people either didn't even play the game or are just salty about one certain plot point and refuse to enjoy a narrative that makes them feel complex emotions. I feel sorry for everyone that can't appreciate how absurdly good this game is, both as a spectacular sequel to a game that should have been impossible to follow, and just as an awesome game in its own right.    … Expand

    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.
