    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow, where to start. I was anticipating this game for a very long time after the playing the first. Gutted.

    The gameplay is painfully dull and more often than not pointless as everything interesting happens in very long cutscenes. It's not even worth talking about.

    The 'moral' of the story is absolutely weak. Revenge isnt the right way? After being forced to kill every member of Abbys team, you leave her alive? The woman who murdered Joel? The reason for the entire story? There is no reason to make her seem 'good', she killed Joel in revenge and then acts like Ellie is stupid for trying to take revenge on her? The most interesting characters are killed off unceremoniously (Jessie, Joel, Mel, Owen) and for what? Nothing gets resolved? You might as well have made a film instead of a game, but then you couldn't charge £60 for it hey?

    I dont mind Joel dying, although he deserved something less mundane. Some story elements were really well done, but sadly they were few and far between. There is 0 enjoyment in this game. Watch someone play it if you want to see the story, but god you aren't missing a thing by not spending a ridiculous amount of money on it.

    If you liked TLOU, you wont like this game.    … Expand

    This was VERY VERY BAD. They try or better words force there views and beliefs on you while playing this game and by doing so they through away all caricature development and replace it with a terrible story. Wish this game kept political views out, really no one cares or wants to see this while playing games. We just want a good game with a good story. Keep the junk out of it. #getwokegobroke

    Absolutely terrible. A complete disservice to fans of the series. The story was horrendous and served only to disappoint those who played and enjoyed the first game. Avoid at all costs!

    Эта игра просто кишит пропагандой лгбт из-за чего становится неприятно играть. Даже секс между мужчиной и женщиной выглядит как гачимучи. А про концовку вообще молчу...

    What a fantastic game.
    Absolute great experience to play after the first part. I've waiteted a long time for this game to play and I definitely wasn't disappointed yet. The look is awesome in comparison to other AAA Games, the performance is great on PS4 and Pro and this isn't a standard anymore. Definitely worth playing

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I made an account just so I can write a review. I’m only about 5 hours into the game so take it with a grain of salt but I can agree with most of these reviews and am truly baffled by the number from the “critics” giving this game a 95! Honestly, I almost stopped playing after Joel was killed. I almost threw up I was so disgusted with how ND decided to kill off probably the most loved character in gaming history. Truly a slap in the face.

    It’s also questionable, imo, to have such a “woke” storyline. Practically turning off most gamers. I’m not homophobic but I would appreciate if not everything in my life is someone/something trying to push their progressive political views on me.

    If I wanted that **** in my life I would create a Twitter account and join the “woke”, “cancel-culture” crowd of 20-30 year olds with a functioning brain power of 5 year olds.

    I’ll finish the game no doubt, but I already know it will be forgotten in a week. Unlike the first game that still brings up fond memories.    … Expand

    Storyline is awful. Neil Druckmann made no sense of it and the game was devoted purely to political correctness more than a likable plot. Shame on him.

    Visually, the game is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Unfortunately every second with any of the characters in this game is just a miserable experience. TLoU wasn't a feel-good comedy or anything, but the characters had a good balance of charm to get you excited to play through the game to see where the story goes next. In TLoU2, I am dreading every time a cut scene comes on.Visually, the game is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.

    I don't mind that the gameplay hasn't been overhauled all that much, but the story f this game is just so awful that it feels like a chore to play through. Very disappointed.    … Expand

    O impossível se tornou real com essa sequência. Quem ia imaginar que TLOU seria superado em absolutamente todos os aspectos? Da trama densa e impactante ao visual que é uma verdadeira pintura, temos um gameplay refinadíssimo, que evoluiu em tudo o que a ND fez nos ultimos anos. O jogo simplesmente não tem defeitos, algo raro nos dias de hoje. Que venha a parte 3!

    As a gamer who loved the first Last of Us and was anticipating this sequel, I have to say that I'm very disappointed. I give it a 1 only because the actors and graphics were phenomenal. These actors made their characters come to life. However, everything else was saddening. The story and characters are boring and forced. I can't believe they released this garbage sequel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 2 i bought the game played it so this is my honest review
    so when i checked the reviews with no spoiler and even after i know about the leaks i was open minded to play the again. After the game is released which is 19 june 2020 around 12 am i started playing continously in 22 hours which takes two days this is what i am thinking after i finished the game and fyi i played the first part it was 9/10 for me sometimes the mechanics was grumpy in part 1
    so last of us part 2 i dont know where to begin in 1 hour and 5o minutes my favourite character is dead so found my strength and anger to kill who is responsible is. The character development is 100% garbage why i am saying this hear me out why after joels death ellie who we are playing is hunting abby i was able to play with it i was commited to it but when you play as abby things turn around which is naughty dog trying so hard to make what abby did was right that is my basic conclusion
    why i am saying this because you cannot play hero and villain thats how life works in real life you included in same game maybe a dlc but i dont think my opinion is changing even after that playing abby was like they are trying to prove a point most people would hate it because you are playing as villain here which you guys trying so hard to make what abby did was right there is no character development the only character development i see here is joel but he is dead in the start of the game ellie she is same for me but letting go abby even after everything you did to get to this point. The way i see its waste of time to play the game you letting go the killer who killed your father aka fatherly figure. For me the game ends after joel death other things happening are just collateral damage if she didnt go for revenge jesse will be alive , dina wouldnt leave ellie which she will at the end of the game, tommy would be with his wife. Like i said its collateral damage more people dying whom you know and the people are getting hurt whom you know. So playing as abby she is the real winner because she get what she wants but which cost her friends life which i dont care anyways. The people saying about lgbtq issue but i dont care about it anyways thats not issue for me only thing i liked about the game is graphics, gameplay which it didnt win over me except the stealth part crafting and the other stuff i felt its just the same like part 1. So people who are thinking of buying dont buy now wait for like 5 or 6 months cost will be way less just like death stranding thats wait for it thats how i bought and played for 15 bucks worth it kinda whoever played this game giving review like 10 out of 10 means mostly they are fake just think for a minute even after everything i played it do you ask me it was worth it i would say 40% percent because hereafter any game naughty dog releases i would wait for a while which i should have done in the first place for tlou 2 just out of curiosity i bought it and i am not happy about it    … Expand

    The story is complete trash... Neil Druckman ruined the series, him and every other scenarist of the game.
    Intro is bad, ending is bad, story is terrible in general and everything is poorly written.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains spoilers, but I also believe that it will be an accurate expression for all gamers who feels disappointed and angry.

    The game starts beautifully, Joel immediately explains what happened in the hospital and during the game, we can see what's happening between Ellie and Joel with a few flashbacks. But we can not see the rest of the 4 years of relationship between our protagonists because Joel gets killed like as if he is a monster and villain by some random characters. Ellie is included in cycle of revenge and the story continues. After that we play with the random character called Abby and find out that she is the surgeon's daughter Joel killed in the first game. From every point, things get ridiculous. That surgeon was nothing more than a NPC, he didn't have a little background at all and no one didn't even know who Abby is. She came out of nowhere and destroyed the character development, the story. After that the game forces players to play as Abby and tries to make players sympathize with Abby. Unfortunately the damage is gone. The developer tries to integrate the doctor's importance with some flashbacks. Furthermore Ellie and the characters who are around her turns into worthless living beings against Abby Then the story comes to an end but it's terrible as well like the rest of the story. The final scene tells everyone that everything was for nothing. Complicated time line, unexpected characters and scenes, excellent motivations, touching backgrounds, turning players against the main characters. This game is a masterpiece! Hmm, nope.

    In a nutshell, this game is a disrespect to all gamers who saw Joel and Ellie's story and felt their emotions, characters, the world that the developer created. Contradictory decisions which isn't fit with characters, wasted emotions and character developments for a cheap cycle of revenge, uninteresting new characters, unnecessary sex scene, exaggerated violence, incoherent and meaningless ending.

    I'll give only 1 point to this game as a respect to Gustavo Santaolalla    … Expand

    i finished rn these game and in my opinion the story of part 2 was better than the part 1, but, i do not enjoy the political messages that The Last of Us Part II was forcing and forcing to tell to the gamer. Also the game has a little time of gameplay, is like 80% cinematics, and 20% of gamepllay, so... if i want to see a story im i do prefer watch a movie or read a book

    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]
