    Complete disappointment. Ruined all the characters we came to love then shoehorned a bunch that people don't care about. 7 years wasted.

    Besides part 1 I really haven’t had a gaming experience like this one. From the heart warming beginning to the ugly crying ending this game is fantastic and would recommend it to anyone, don’t let the negative reviews bring this game down.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best game ever! Yes, it is upsetting when Joel dies but who said he cannot die? Yes it is gut wrenching to force you to play from POV killer of your favourite character but make every one to see world through her eyes - I suspected that she has good reasons to kill Joel but if you not then that experience should show it to you. Amazing storytelling doesn’t mean that must fulfil YOUR dreams - must keep you on the edge of your seat and make you change your perspective and this game do that.… Expand

I've been contractually obligated, under NDA, that with ND's guidance; I'm supposed to write something around the lines of "This game poopy dookie SJW **** SJW **** SJW **** Keep this **** out of our video games"; so that our journo friends have ample ammo to bang out a few hit pieces.

    But let me tell you something, this game falls on a blunder that is typical for amateur hour to pull, and that's when we get to the "this is where we're gonna kill Joel", you'd expect that the writers expect Abby to monologue to Joel about who she is and why she's about to murder him. But instead it plays on the audience/player expectation to connect the dots and reach that leap of logic. In the game's story, Abby could have taken out any random Joel to suit her revenge, but it just so happens she lucked out. That's risky writing since that can come off as lazy, rushed, and amateur.    … Expand

Some people have criticized this as bad only after a couple of hours of playing or because they have read the spoilers. Sounds in the game is very good and music is incredible. This is for me a game of the year.
    I recommend playing to the end and then giving your opinion on the game because there are a lot of different flavors and styles for different games to play and you shouldn’t stare too many reviews just because you have to actually play and then think about what you liked.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an absolute masterpiece. The complex feelings that it has caused the players to feel is amazing. Feeling fear and disgust perhaps even?? From a character you have known for so long. Creating complex ideas of right or wrong. That’s what the first game did so to expect anything less than that for part 2 would be a mistake. The game makes you feel so worried about the safety of the beloved Ellie as she goes on a reckless journey for revenge. And to those who hate on the ending, I’m sorry you lack any form of empathy. Abby is a complex character that has been seeking revenge for 4 years and gets it. While Ellie is blinded by the fresh wound of Joel’s murder. To say that Ellie should have killed Abby in the end is a misunderstanding and disregard to what the story is telling you. There are plenty of flashbacks that set up the fact that Ellie is not necessarily wanting revenge but closure for the relationship her and Joel ACTUALLY had. It is a somber end but it leaves it open to interpretation. To me it shows an Ellie who has found closure both with Abby but more importantly with Joel. This is a masterpiece of story, gameplay, and environment. I’m not sure how any game will top this.… Expand

Waiting 7 years for this game just to have the director of the game give a big **** you to the fans who supported him. Who cares about the game play or graphics when the whole story sucks. Stop trying to make excuses for this garbage game, for people to go as far as to say that people who hate this game are homophobic, sexist or xbox fans...really ? I'm a woman who supports LGBTQ community and Playstation fan and I hate this game. The anger lies in the fact is they completely deceived fans in the trailers and gave no fan service. Don't waste your money on this. Being forced to play as Joel's killer... what were they thinking...this entire game had me yelling at the TV.. nobody asked!!!… Expand

For example Joel dies within one or two hours into the game and people are mad what do you think Joel was supposed to do fight off all those people he would have died trying. You do play part of the game as Abby with killed Joel and get to learn about her backstory and her storyline there are two storylines going Ellie’s storyline and Abby storyline. It was very emotional one of the best game I have ever played and not two many games make me cry but this one did… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game breaks my heart for all the wrong reasons. A 7 year wait for the sequel to on of the greatest video games ever made all for naughty dog to screw it up. I adored the last of us but part 2 is a terrible game. the gameplay is fun and the graphics look great but that's as far as the praise goes for this game. within the very beginning of the game Joel who is widely considered along with the likes of Lee Everett as some of the greatest father figures in gaming is killed. this was expected however the way they did it was terrible. having a man who once ran over someone he didn't trust within seconds of meeting them get tricked by someone and ultimately getting beaten to death in the most undignified way is so poor from the writing team. however i'm not as torn over this as the majority of the last of us fans as i was constantly focused on getting revenge and killing Abby. I truly hated Abby but as i was playing i was conscious of this and accepted this was naughty dogs way of setting her up to die at the hands of Ellie but this is where the game went from decent to absolutely horrible. the first half of the game sends you out on a revenge quest and when you finally get to the end time rewinds and you have to do everything you just did with Ellie in Abby's shoes up until the final confrontation. this is one of the worst decisions ive ever witnessed from a game. making you spend half the total play time playing as one of the most hated characters in video game history is dreadful. after getting back to the final confrontation between Abby and Ellie maybe just maybe if after all of this Ellie got the revenge she spent the whole game getting then I could leave somewhat satisfied but no. after the entire game is spent based around a revenge plot you never even kill Abby which absolutely baffles me. this game is truly awful from a story and writing point of view and it really seems like an entirely different studio produced this disgrace of a sequel to such a monumental game.… Expand

    2 points because the game looked really nice, but in a game like this the story is the main driver not the graphics.

    When it comes to story, its a disaster. I feel like this is a totally different franchise than earlier? Maybe the writers are different or something, but the story is weird and really illogical. The characters are poorly written and you dont feel anything for them after    2 points because the game looked really nice, but in a game like this the story is the main driver not the graphics.

The characters are poorly written and you dont feel anything for them after Joel and Ellie in the first part. Even though the story is poor through the game, the ending takes the cake. It pretty much destroys the earlier story and thus is really illogical.

    Gameplay is ok, but pretty much the same than earlier. Environment isnt lively or interactive. You just keep hiding and throwing bottles to distract.

    Summa Summarum: Game looks good, but the story is so bad and disappointing that i wish i could get my money back. If you read this, dont buy it.    … 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.
