    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Woke culture & Gender identity has penetrated the gaming world.
    Part 1 was a success & well writeen but a big fail for Part 2 which was highly anticipated.
    Gameplay still very good as previously but story is very poorly written, I understand that some teenagers might speak with a swear word here & there but this is non-stop, I'm not offended in the least but just didn't expect such a basic uneducated poorly written dialogue, it feels like this was written by a 16 year old even though most speak better then Ellie with less f*ck words.
    Then comes killing off Joel at an early start within the story when he is the father figure for the lead character & introducing some bizarre uninteresting characters.
    Creativity in this game got very poor within the story & lack of engaging dialogue & goals.
    And we have then identity politics being played in this game, I don't have a problem with the character being gay, but what I have a problem is the physical alteration of Ellie to become more man-ish, lack of build up story in regards to her sex orientation & introducing a new character called Abby which looks like a Transsexual (which again got no problem) but the game wasn't about sex & their orientation (any sex scenes from TLOU part 1??) & was about the 2 characters Ellie & Joel.
    Also most of the side story is all in dozens of little write up notes found along the game, way too many in fact & very repetitive.
    So in summary, gameplay still very good & deeply enjoyable but when it comes to dialogue I instantly feel the need to skip ahead (even though I didn't).
    Very poor attempt at Part 2 & destroying the franchise.    … Expand

To call us disingenuous or untruthful tells us that they don’t care about our opinion/rating if it doesn’t align with the money generating scheme that is currently set up. You can see this with your own eyes - I don’t need to tell you. Just look at the difference between PAID shill reviews who are on board with the SJW/diversity/gender politics band wagon and reviews from people who are honest and UNPAID who work their asses off every day to be able to buy the things we enjoy. We don’t work all day to fight to get to the weekend only to crack open a game that goes south within the first hours of the game - and continuously goes south right to the end.

    Yeah, that’s great - all the shill reviews are going on and on about graphics, and lighting and “mood” and they’re not even being truthful about story and characters. They just want you to keep your head down, eat up the story slop and move on to the next BAD GAME like a mindless drone. They got their money from you, they could care less about anything else after they robbed you of what could have been a well oiled story with amazing characters. I will close by saying I will NEVER buy a naughty dog game again, ever. Thanks for the slap in the face. I hope this disaster sinks the stock of your company and buries you. You deserve it. How’s that for a fake review?

    PS. The only review bombing on this game are people LITERALLY saying “I don’t like all the negative talk around this game so I’m going to give it a 100 even though I haven’t played it”. You are the worst kind of people, your “review bombing” has already moved this terrible game UP a few points. I hope you’re happy knowing you are a part of the problem.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lo que aplaudió de pie y me quito el sombrero de este juego es por la Jugabilidad,música,sonido,doblaje,ambiente,enemigos tanto infectados como humanos y por último y lo maravilloso,los gráficos.

    Pero la HISTORIA es pésima,repetitiva,sin sentido ni argumento.
    Y mi pregunta es..¿fue una historia de venganza??

    Como hemos aprendido de TLOU1, Joel desconfía mucho de los extraños.Y cómo lo matan con un miserable palo de golf es una VERGÜENZA.
    Humillaron al personaje más querido que nos mostró en el primer juego.
    Pero que fue lo que más me enojo?
    Mataron a uno de los protagonistas de la primera parte del juego, y pusieron a otro en su lugar.
    Ser forzado a jugar como Abby.
    Después de matar a Joel? ¿Por qué? ¿Qué se supone que esto debe transmitir exactamente al jugador?

    Si matas a uno de los personajes más queridos al principio del juego y quieres traer nuevos personajes jugables principales como Abby,DEBES traer MUCHO más historia de fondo para que el jugador se sienta con ella. Nos cuenta básicamente en 10 minutos y que su padre está siendo asesinado. ¿Eso es todo? Y ahora tengo que sentirme como ella y entender por qué mató a Joel?
    Ósea,MATÓ a Joel!
    ¿Cómo haces que le guste al jugador?

    Tantas cosas ocurren al azar que no tienen sentido o que nunca se explican. Después están todos los otros personajes nuevos que se sienten vacíos.

    La escenas donde Abby intenta matar a Ellie.
    La verdad que llegó el punto en que no quería presionar el botón cuadrado para tratar de matar a Ellie pero el juego no te dejaba otra opción.
    Después pelear contra el personaje favorito y principal del último juego y dejarlo en un charco de sangre?? Al final Abby le perdona la vida a Ellie a modo de obligarte a simpatizar más con Abby?No puedo creerlo la verdad.

    ¿Ellie finalmente rastrea a Abby y la mata por venganza? No. Ella deja ir a Abby. A pesar de que no dudó en matar a cientos de personas desde el comienzo de su viaje en TLOU1 y este mismo TLOU2z
    Ver cómo matan a su ser más cercano Joel,Matan a Jessi,casi matan Tommy y despues a Dina y después todo el recorrido que hizo para llegar a Abby y a parte que Ellie abandonó su vida,hogar y familia para que termine así? Sola,sin dos dedos,triste y sin nada.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Imagine if Jack Marston tracks down Edgar Ross and instead of shooting him, he lets him go. That is the ending to this

    Other than the **** ending, the gameplay is quite fun. The Seraphites actually had me on my toes due to how they communicate, Shamblers are a fun enemy to fight, the Stalkers are actually pretty scary, and overall the enemies in this just feel better.

    The story starts off pretty strong, and you think to yourself “okay maybe this isn’t as bad as everyone says it is” and then Joel dies, and you see why everyone says the story is **** Along with that, the game has bad pacing issues in the beginning after Joel’s death. After Joel dies, absolutely NOTHING interesting happens for a good 2 **** hours. I was literally so **** bored for those 2 hours because all you do is just wander around Downtown Seattle with your horse finding some **** fuel for a generator. While most of the story is dog****, there are some high moments. The best moments are Ellie’s flashbacks with Joel, that is where it really feels just as amazing as the first one. Problem is, all those moments are spaced out between **** story moments.

    Most of the characters we know do some pretty stupid **** in this game. Like Tommy after talking with Ellie about the people responsible for Joel, he does a total 180 the next day and says “lock up Ellie if you have to, don’t let her come for me” not much is known about Tommy compared to Joel, but I am pretty **** sure that Tommy would instead go to Ellie’s house the next day ready and say **** this lets get these bastards”
    How **** cool would it be to have Tommy there with you, and he could act as a sort of voice of reason with Ellie once enough of the WLF are dead. She already has Dina to be her voice of reason, but it would be interesting to see Tommy just as bloodthirsty as Ellie and then say “they got what they deserved, we’re done here now and I’m fine with that” and Ellie refusing to let Abby get away with it. THAT would be interesting to see

    Now for Abby: I can see what they were going for, to make you say “she was wronged so she set out to resolve it” but it just does not work at all. It may work if there was more time spent with Abby before she kills Joel, like taking Abbys flashback with her dad and make that the beginning, that could make it a bit better. But in the game now, its just “oh this random ass person killed one of my favorite characters” and by the time it showed Abbys dad, it was already too far in the game for me to even give a **** Besides killing Joel, Abby is a pretty decent character. But I still did not give a single **** about any of her story parts because she is just introduced with killing Joel, which pissed me off immensely.

    As for the trans person, I’m fine with representation, but his entire character is “I’m trans and everybody wants to kill me because I’m trans” that is so **** lazy and I was extremely shocked how poorly that character was written

    I can’t recommend this game unless you are fully capable of turning your brain off and just enjoy the gameplay and visuals. Naughty Dog dropped a nuke on Nagasaki, and somebody needs to rewrite this because this story is unacceptable. Keep all the Ellie flashbacks and Abbys dad flashback, that was the only good Abby part. Make the trans person more than “I’m trans and everyone wants to kill me because I’m trans” take out the Abby gameplay segments, fix the pacing in the beginning of the game, and make the characters make rational decisions    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So disappointed in the choices made by the developers. I loved the first game and have spent so long waiting for this to come along. The graphics were beautiful, the gameplay took everything I loved about the original and tweaked it, but the narrative decisions were heartbreaking in the worst way. It felt like watching the final season of Game of Thrones again. Someone who loved the original game as much as I do must have raised their voice during the development process to tell them they were going down a path that their loyal fans most likely wouldn't want to go.

    Much has been made of the diversity of the game, and Liberal political subtext. Despite some mediums diversifying to the point of being unrealistic, in this case it didn't really bother me. What bothered me most is that the makers thought they could somehow enlighten the player on the issues of violence and prejudice when most people have come back to escape and be absorbed into a story that can be an emotional roller-coaster, but not one you want to get off of.

    The hardest thing to accept was Joels' relationship with Ellie after what they had been through, his relegation to a background character who makes evidently very poor decisions for a man so worldly wise, and his horrific death at the hands of a small group of people after having despatched hundreds of different enemies during the previous game. Joel is actually spat on while dying in a pool of blood, Ellie crying and pleading for his life - why would you do this to your fans who've waited so long to be reunited with these characters, and why later on make us play again as the killer only to have Ellie let her live after spending the whole game seeking revenge?

    It brought back thoughts of the Walking Dead/Negan story arc and we all know what that did for that show......

    Naughty Dog, I think it was a conceited mistake to assume this game would be accepted based on the amount of work put in, how technically good it is and how greatly anticipated it was - the narrative didn't further the original story, it threw it away.

    I am glad I still have the original to go back to, and genuinely sorry that the sequel storyline ended up as it has....    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll be talking about actual spoilers in the last paragraph. The rest of this review is spoiler free. This review that will be ignoring the so-called SJW/woke/whatever stuff. I know that can be divisive, so I'm leaving that out, and I think there's enough I can talk about without mentioning that.

    To start out, they basically pull a GOT finale and give Joel and Ellie the Daenerys treatment by having them do things that are completely against what their characters have been established as. And they not only do it once, but three times, some worse than others.

    That's before we even get to the company side of things. If you want to skip the company stuff, skip this paragraph. Normally I wouldn't include this in a review of the game itself, but I think it warrants mention here since many people are protesting the game because of Sony and Naughty Dog's behavior, such as the hostile workplace they've created and the blatant DMCA abuse when it's completely unwarranted. Some people literally only voiced their negative opinions of the game without showing ANY part of the game, and still got DMCA'd, which can take away people's ability to stream which is a huge source of revenue for some, essentially putting some streamers out of business for their opinions, and the fact they allowed a full blown and very revealing sex scene in TLOU2 while heavily censoring anime games (some with the same rating as TLOU2) months earlier for just being skimpy. There's also the blatant false advertising, such as them putting a fake scene in the trailer where Joel says to Ellie "you thought I'd let you go alone?" which doesn't actually happen.

    From a gameplay perspective, there's no to little improvements over the first TLOU, so some people think it feels stale. I will be fair and state that TLOU wasn't really known for its gameplay, but rather its atmosphere and story. The only positive it has going for is the graphics. So assuming you review it evenly based on graphics, gameplay, and story, giving each a 33% weight, it makes sense the game is getting 3's and 4's out of 10. If you weight the story itself more heavily, it still comes out about the same. It's a visually stunningly beautiful game... But that's about it.

    Spoiler section: The three instances of them pulling a GOT finale are these: Joel walking into a house and randomly announcing who he is, Ellie suddenly deciding to stop her quest for vengeance at the end, and Joel being the catalyst for her stopping. Most people who review this are so outraged by Joel's death that they fail to notice that they spit on his character more than once. Joel is merciless, mistrustful of others and outright says he would kill all the fireflies in the hospital all over again. He doesn't care who dies or who he kills. As such, it makes NO sense for him to walk into a room and announce who he is. It makes NO sense for Ellie to stop her quest of revenge, and it makes NO sense for the flashback of Joel to be what stops her since we damn well know he would have killed Abby without a second thought. And why the hell would you decide vengeance is bad only when reaching your final target and not stopping when you had to kill dozens of people OUT OF VENGEANCE to reach your target? And about Joel's death, I know in reality people often die unceremoniously, and their deaths are often underwhelming. Neil Druckmann outright said this game isn't supposed to be fun. But this is a video game. Video games are within the category of entertainment, a prerequisite of which is fun. So why would you make a game that isn't fun? Joel is a beloved character by the fans and he simply deserved better.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was excited for Last of Us 2 since its announcement as i enjoyed the first one greatly. I played this game and i have never been let down so much in my life. This is all because of the poorly written story. All of the deaths felt rushed or dry and the ending of game had no pay off and just made you felt bad because you played the game.

    Abby had potential to be a good character but forcing you to play her after you just watched her kill a favourite character is awful. You get zero interaction between Joel and Ellie in the actual game as he is dead within the first hour of the game.

    The best scene in the game is actually a flashback that involves no combat or story progression with showing Ellie receiving a birthday gift of a tour of a dinosaur / space museum from Joel. This scene is what LOU2 should've been but it was tainted by poor writing and character deaths.

    The game makes you feel bad by making you hunt down and kill the people who killed Joel and then make you play as Abby to showcase the pain you've caused. But this doesn't matter as they don't bring these characters up ever again. Manny was one of Abby's best friends and he gets sniped by Tommy and killed, he is never mentioned ever again by Abby. It also pulls this pregnancy card by making you feel bad because you killed a pregnant girl, even though she resisted when you asked her to point on a map and attacked you.

    Jesse was a fun character who cracked multiple jokes at all times with a bright personality and was a good adition to the cast, but was wasted drastically as he had like 6 scenes in the game and is killed off because he ran through a door and shot dead instantly. He is then forgotten like he never existed and only ever mentioned once again after him dying like 40% through the story on a **** piece of paper which is just focused on Dina.

    Dina was a good character which also was ruined by being placed in the back. She comes with you to hunt down Abby but mentions she is pregnant and is told to stay still in the Theatre and uses a radio to track down Abby via her friends. It makes sense to stay put but just sleeps after that and gets no screen time until later on where She and Ellie in a generic "Happy Ever After" scene where they get their own farmland and house with a great view away from all of the evils and society. But she just ditches Ellie when she goes back to hunt down and finish abby.

    Then Issac the leader of the Wolfs just dies, accomplishing nothing to the story other than to make it understandable how the Wolfs lost the attack to the scars because they had no leader. The two scars where okay characters but where ruined by little screen time they show up late into the story and get a good story arc by saving abby from other scars, then its ruined by the child scar getting upset and running back home to his mom, despite running away from him cause he mom tried to kill him.

    The last scenes shows another group which uses others as slaves by pretending to be Fireflies. Abby and Lev are caught and forced into slavery for 2 months. Ellie hunts them down to this area and attacks the compound to hunt down and kill Abby. She finds her but she is very skinny and basically on the brink of death to make you feel bad for Abby and then they fight each other with Abby restraining from fighting but being forced to by Ellie. Ellie then wins the fight and is about to kill Abby and decides not to because Revenge is bad, then lets her go and loses two fingers in the fight and heads back home to find Dina has left her and She can't play guitar anymore.

    The combat was ok. It was good but certain set pieces are poorly balanced on the Hardest Difficulty. Such as the area where you must wait for Lev took rescues from a horde which attacks in you in a locked room before they bust down a ambulance window. If you are low on supplies this room gives you little to none to survive which makes it impossible and can be a soft-lock. Later combat sections are just large open fields with large amount of patrolling enemies which drop the FPS drastically and force you to kill to proceed but on the Hardest Difficulty this is frustrating because you can't aim precisely against large groups of enemies with a PS4 controller.

    To put this shortly. This game feels like everybody worked their butt off to produce an amazing game but they were forced to follow bad directions from poor story telling by N. Druckman. This game does everything but the story really well and since this game is all about the emotional story which was what made the LOU1 a masterpiece. It kills the game and makes it a chore to play with no pay off.

It's hard to make players to feel any deep connection between these group, and It makes the whole stories lose its focus on the story of extended survival life for Elle and Joel. Abby is an interesting character brought into the game. Parts of her stories are realistic, but there are many parts that are totally poor designed and poorly shape the character. For example, Joel's dead comes too early in the game, and Abby's stories are not properly elaborated later. Consequently, it makes the entire game very unconvincing.
    The fact that the 7 years of development period does not bring too much of improvement on the game can be acceptable as long as the storylines are appealing and more realistic.
    Overall, there are still part of the game that are decently done, character's development, life conflicts, soundtracks. Still, NaughtyDog team did not put enough heart to carefully develop the game in a more realistic story. NaughtyDog underestimate game players' understanding of the real life situations. True, It's just an imaginary world still, but it can simply be done better.
    I am still looking forward for Last of Us Part 3 , hoping NaughtyDog do a better job on the next one.

Missed opportunity but I got over it. We play as a character we have no emotional attachment to as well nor care for. The revenge story begins...I can deal with it. We then get what felt like a symbol female empowerment with the lesbian scenes and muscular female character. I can deal with it. We then are reminded of what Tommy is doing for revenge yet never get the opportunity to play as him. Another missed opportunity. Dina announces she's pregnant. How does this affect the story? Why even add this part? Nonetheless, the first half of the game was bearable. The 2nd half of the game is a different story. We are forced to again play as the character we do not care for. There is nothing the developers can do for us to sympathize for Abbie yet they force her story on us anyways. Jessie dies in an instant. Why even have scenes of him if he goes out like that? The least the writers could have done was instead of being fatally shot, have him hurt enough to fall to the ground and tell Ellie to tell Dina that he's sorry he can't be there for Dina since he knew she was pregnant before Abbie finishing him off with a gun to the head. But no, he is taken out with a snap of a finger. Tommy goes out the same way presumably. Again, we are forced to play the character for most of the game we do not care nor are emotionally invested it. After wasted hours playing as her, still do not care. It was during this point I just wanted to stop playing this garbage. She lets Ellie live AGAIN. Fast forward, we find out Tommy is alive. That was literally the only positive about the 2nd half of the game but now he's disabled with a missing eyes and a limp resulting in most likely no future in a potential 3rd game (I don't want one after this mess). Do we really want revenge after this? We were put through being forced to play a character I don't care for and lets Ellie live TWICE already. If the developers just had to FORCE the story, give us the option between choosing Abbie's story and Ellie's and I guarantee you, it would be unanimous that players choose Ellie and only choose Abbie because they're curious, not because they care for her character in any way, shape, or form. Awful game and it's generous I'm giving this game a 3 out of 10.… Expand

    The last of us 2 is so boring and uninteresting, they killed off Joel in the first 2 hours of the game in the worst possible way, instead of given his character a satisfying conclusion like Arthur Morgan. The game has nothing new, the characters sucked including Ellie and the end is one of the worst if not the worst in Gaming.

    Even though the graphics and gameplay are one of the best, the terrible ending that the producers created really ruined the whole experience for me. I really hope they fix this somehow in the next game.

    Ta gra ma fatalną fabułę, nic w niej nie ma sensu, cały wątek jest zrobiony na przekór graczowi w dodatku nie czuję satysfakcji z przejścia tej gry. Gameplay jest identyczny jak w pierwszej części, żadnych nowości tylko idź, strzelaj, zbieraj i zabijaj. Grając cały czas myślałem, że to TLOU 1 z lepszą grafiką. Poprawność polityczna też jest wciskana w każde możliwe miejsce i jest to mocnoTa gra ma fatalną fabułę, nic w niej nie ma sensu, cały wątek jest zrobiony na przekór graczowi w dodatku nie czuję satysfakcji z przejścia tej gry.

    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]
