    However, the story is unreasonable. Abby has no reason to spear Ellie's life in the theater.
    And Ellie has no reason to let Abby go on the beach

    Totoally unreasonable

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I first played The Last of Us 1 when I was 11 years old, and even at that age I could feel the range of emotions that most people twice my age could feel. Now it's been 7 years later and unlike some people I wanted a second game. After playing the game it breaks my heart to say that this game was absolutely terrible. The bond that was in the first game between Ellie and Joel wasn't there in this game. It was in a couple of the flashbacks but it just wasn't there. A lot of people are complaining about he politics in the game like the fact Ellie is lesbian but honestly I really couldn't see the politics being pushed in this game, and the fact Ellie makes sense 100% considering in the first games left behind dlc it confirmed she was. Enough about the story I don't want to talk about the story too much because I know there are 100 other reviews that are going to only talk about the story. I want to focus on another terrible part of the game and also some good parts. Starting with the bad parts which is gameplay, the gameplay in this game started off great it was really nice it was different than the last game the stealth in my opinion was actually really good, but the problem is, is that you do this the entire game. Some will argue that "you don't have to always do stealth" yes that's true but that would mean you only have two choice gameplay wise. Kill bad guys with loud gun, or kill bad guys with knife or bow. This gets extremely repetitive and after the first 5 hours of the game. Another thing that I dislike about this game is how 85% of the game is based around Seattle, this gets very old unlike in the first game where there was multiple areas that you was able to explore for long periods of the game. moving on from negative things about the game, which there are many more I could cover but i'll leave that for the other reviews. I wan't to talk about some things this game did very well. First thing is graphics this game had amazing graphics although I had to play it on my loud ass ps4 it was still an amazing looking game, I remember taking a lot of screenshots during the cut scenes and out of the cut scenes because of how amazing the game looked. That's all I really have to say about the graphics but if I had to rate the graphics alone 10/10 moving on. Soundtrack, there is very few other games out there that has a great as soundtrack as this one and surprise surprise those other games are naughty dog games. Naughty dog does a great job with the soundtrack in the game and better yet connecting the characters with it. I actually liked this soundtrack enough to pick up the guitar again and learn a few of the songs from the game, which by the way are very good. Anyway i'm getting tired of typing so I will just end this review here. If I had to say weather or not you should buy this game I'd say no, just because this game honestly ruined the entire franchise for me with it's terrible story telling... Just keep the memories of the first game alive and pretend this game doesn't exist... Expand

Now, for a game that relies so heavely on story, as it should be, it falls on it's knees when compared to the first game. It makes you hate what once was loved by most of the fans. In the first hour and a half the game takes a very dark twist and tottaly ruins the entire mythos that the first game created... a shame. Expand

    Great graphics, very beautiful game, but.... The storyline is horrible, there are a plethora of holes through the story, and the the game does not consider the main characters mental processing and behavior from part one, it's as if they are two separate characters.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ‏At first I didn’t know whether to buy TLOU 2 or not due to the many negative reviews and many positive reviews, but I decided to to give it the benefit of the doubt. *Spoilers*. At first, the new characters introduced in the game I never really liked, cared or even remember them. The dialogue and chemistry between almost every character is horrible in my opinion. Except for Abby and Lev. I honestly enjoyed their story together, other than that nothing really. I felt like I was forced/supposed to like them just because Ellie does, unlike in most of the first game where you see the progression of Joel and Ellie’s relationship. When Joel died (obviously I was very sad) but at the same time I was excited. I knew Joel was going to die due to the trailers barely showing Joel and every time I heard anything about it was about Ellie. But I have to admit I didn’t think he was going to die this quick. I really didn’t like the pacing of the story. They showed Abby as the “bad guy” for most of the game, while playing as a character you knew and loved for 7 years! And then they wanted you play as and sympathize Abby. This was alright to me at first because of course in the The Last of Us universe there are no “good guys” nor “bad guys”. But every minute passes and it was more boring to me. I didn’t enjoy playing as Abby at all. Especially how most of her story and the reason why she killed Joel was being played in flashbacks. Talking about flashbacks. I didn’t hate all flashbacks. Like how they used flashbacks to show you how Joel told Ellie what he has done, I enjoyed them. Quite honestly I enjoyed all of them. But Abby’s flashbacks not at all. I think if they let you play all of Abby’s flashbacks at the very beginning, before she kills Joel. I think that would have been somewhat better. Most characters death are forgotten, by the other characters even the players themselves I’ve noticed. Nora, Manny, Mel, and Owen, I don’t recall Abby nor Ellie bringing them up, maybe just once. But for characters that are supposed to be one of the “protagonist’s friend group” that’s really low. Secondly, the AI in this game I didn’t enjoy, I played the game on Hard, Medium, and Easy. The enemy’s difficulty barely changed, but the amount of resources and bullets did change within each difficulty. I’ve barely on all difficulties saw the enemy attack one of my allies. (Something the first game excels in by the way) and they always focused you no matter what. Sometimes the enemy AI locks and just hides even though you’re just sanding or running. (Yet again something the first game did brilliantly). Don’t know about humans but if you had the high ground near zombies, they’ll rarely get up to you. And if they do, most of the time they fall down.

    Thirdly, the gameplay is just as good as the first game. They added the dodging but it was very buggy for me and didn’t work as supposed to. Fourthly, glitches in the game was something common in the game. A random burst wrong colours were shown. I.e; A rusted grey drawer that magically has a very bright white lower drawer. Same thing with desks, beds, even garages. And sometimes a dark blue or black square of grass that’s surrounded by green grass. I also randomly got out of the map twice. Finally, some positives about the game is quite obviously, the graphics, they sometimes made me forget how much I hated the story. I liked the realistic physics in the game. Most voice actors were fantastic. All in all, if you enjoyed the game, good for you. And I’m really happy that you wasted your time on a game you liked. And I’m not saying that you’re completely wrong and I’m 100% correct. I’m just stating what I felt while playing the game and hope that you understand why I didn’t enjoy the game. I didn’t dislike it because I’m following other people hating on it. I came into the game neutral. And I didn’t enjoy it at all.

    I’d honestly give it somewhere between 2.7 and 3.3.

    The graphics and sounds are amazing but the world is just boring, you feel no emotion by the end. The game uses shock value waaaaay too much and for some reason revenge is only bad when you're Ellie, if you're Abbie you get your revenge AND an entire redemption arc. Like wtf is this story??!!?!?!?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visually The Last of Us Part II is beautiful and the music is just amazing. Gameplay is similar to the first one, not bad, but not the best.The story however is a revenge plot that is extremely poorly executed. They completely ripped apart everything that the first game had built up and definitely did not do right by Joel and Ellie as they said they were going to. Joel gets killed very early in a very dumb way and Ellie loses everything. The new characters are not fleshed out enough and most are forgettable. You play as Abby for half the game and I found her very unlikeable even as they show her past to get you to sympathize with her. The ten hours of gameplay with her just seemed to drag on. I found the flashbacks of Joel and Ellie to be the best part of the game and I really enjoyed them, but unfortunately those were short and few. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished the game four days ago and since then I've been so sad.

    It is heartbreaking to see your most loved videogame destroyed like this.

    - I did not hate the game because of LGBT agenda ->actually I am left-wing and I secretly liked that so many homophobic gamers had to face with these topics (and hopefully they get more comprehensive). So I would keep it exactly as it was.
    - I did not hate the game because Joel died. Come on, Joel dying was the only motivation strong enough to make Ellie pursue revenge, so from first trailer when we found out that the sequel was about revenge, we all knew already that Joel would have died to make this credible -> so no big deal

    I hated the game because the story is pointless, weak, not credible.
    Such a complex universe, in which you can talk about love vs. ethics, cure to the humanity, self improvement, so many things, you focus your game on revenge? Just a pure revenge without any revelation in the path? It was so funny that in Every scene I was making so many theories,expecting a creative plot from naughty dog like:
    -Tommy never left Jackson and Maria was kind of a villain, that wrote that fake letter to instigate Ellie to go for revenge and leave Tommy with her
    - The godness of Seraphite was actually people adoring an utopic old version of "Ellie, the immune woman" and she would find out it later after many died on her name
    - Jessie "the super popular guy" was actually working with Abby and helping her since the beginning - Ellie left JJ and Dina for what we think that was a revenge, but actually she wanted to offer herself to Abby so she could be taken to a hospital and finally die for the sake of a vaccine

    Hahahah Of course, all of this seem crazy now. But it was just me expecting/hoping for ANY kind of plot twist or revelation( like the one we have at the end of Uncharted 4) but no. The plot was so linear, simple, idiot, that it never happened.

    It was just about killing our preferred character (I'm ok with the death, but not ok with non- meaningful way it happened), going for revenge, can't get it and come back home with family. Then a coward adult goes to ask cruelly a young woman to abandon her family and goes all by herself on revenge, oh just because "you promised". Then she goes (this decision of abandoning family by themselves in an apocalyptical world which is not credible), finds Abby but at the end forgives her because she learns that "revenge is not good". That is ridiculous.
    So many points that this story could have developed... Part 1 was so deep, so complex, so human and they just destroyed everything. Ok, gameplay nice, graphics really good (actually I found Uncharted 4 way more pretty in facial details and scenario), ok with all of this. But this is a story driven game and story must be the central part of it, you can't deny that. And the plot is just horrible.

    I wish they never had done this videogame. I am so so sad. A bad type of sad. Because when I finished Arthur's part in Rdr2, I was also extremely sad for Arthur but sad in a good way, in a magic way. In the last of us 2, I am sad in a bad way, disappointed, upset because I can't believe how they ruined the story, characters, universe, the franchise.

    Oh my God. Really.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I remember being excited for this game when it was announced at e3 years ago. When the delays happened I kept telling myself don’t worry they’re just making sure everything is perfect I trust them to have it. I was so wrong. There was lots of weird bugs in my play through like fighting against invisible clickers or falling through the map. I can’t believe that would occur for something delayed so much. Gameplay, graphics, and music were all great as you’d expect from a Last of Us game. After seeing the death of Joel and just seeing the ending I couldn’t believe that after all Abby put Ellie through and all Ellie did to people, was all a waste. It made me think what if Ellie was killed by Abby? Would Joel just let Abby go? I doubt it . Honestly Ellie’s character was so irritating in this game. I like to think that the Ellie from the first game isn’t the same as this one . This is such bad writing ! REVENGE BAD ! Sounds like the answer to the question : what the theme of the book you read? From a freshman who didn’t actually read the book but just wanted to say some basic barebones theme and hope it’s right. I am glad I gameshared this one . Pure trash. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has amazing graphics, mechanics, and scenarios, and up until the end of Seattle day 3 I had this game at 10/10. I didn’t realize Naughty Dog was going to make us play as Joel’s torturer for half the game. When I first played as Abby, I thought it was just going to be a quick flashback, and I was thinking to myself “oh cool, these guns will be a part of Ellie’s inventory once it gets back to the main story and I finally kill Abby as Ellie”. First impressions are crucial in my opinion, and the second Abby and her group takes a golf club and beats Joel to death in front of his brother and Ellie, right after they saved Abby from the infected mob, I wanted Abby and her group dead. So I was very disappointed to find out the 2nd half of the game forced me to play as someone I wanted dead. I understand Naughty Dog is trying to have me sympathize with her, but there was nothing she could do to redeem herself, and I honestly didn’t care about her backstory or friends (most of which have already been killed by Ellie during the first half of the game). I had to force myself to trudge through her story, it’s unfortunate too because there were good encounters with the bloater-esque mini boss in the hospital parking garage, and Yara & Lev had a good story. The ending is also very disappointing because poor Ellie is still suffering from PTSD and seeing Joel’s bashed in head, which leads to her tracking down Abby and Lev who were captured by a gang in Santa Barbara. So after Ellie kills every gang member and frees all the prisoners, she finds Abby and Lev tied up on posts by the beach, she cuts them down and they walk to some boats to escape. In the process of escaping, Ellie has a flashback of Joel’s bashed in head again, and challenges Abby to a fight, she doesn’t use anything from her bag of weapons to just kill her, but instead wants to have a “fair” fight with Abby, but she still uses her knife for some reason. After losing two fingers, Ellie gains the upper hand and is in the process of drowning Abby until she has a flashback of Joel except this time it’s a positive flashback, so she lets Abby go and escape with Lev. I understand Naughty Dog is trying to push growth and maybe forgiveness, but Ellie left her girlfriend(wife?) and child for this, she comes home to and empty house, 8 fingers and a guitar from Joel she can no longer play. I’d like to imagine if Ellie was killed, Joel would scorch the earth for her, it’s disappointing that there was no choice to avenge him, and at the last second a flashback where she planned on working towards forgiving Joel stopped her from killing the one person who kept that from happening. Again maybe not everyone shares that feeling, but a choice would have been nice. Another complaint I have about the story is why does Joel still go by his whole full name when he knows he is wanted by any former fireflies from the previous game, let alone give his full name and camp location to a group of armed strangers. I feel like this game tried too hard to get the player to dislike Joel or at least sympathize with the fireflies more. I was disappointed Joel didn’t explain to Ellie the whole situation with the events of the first game at the fireflies hospital in salt lake, because if he did, Ellie would have probably been more receptive to his reasons at saving her, and how the fireflies broke the deal with Joel, and his “payment” for delivering Ellie was getting knocked out, having his possessions stolen and being marched out at gunpoint. So yes my opinion is very biased against a very incompetent Firefly organization, but only because the first game had done such a great job at painting the picture of them. TLDR: Not a fan when I’m forced to play half of the game as a character that kills a favorite character in the first few minutes. Even less of a fan that the daughter of the deceased character never gets revenge on the killer/torturer and she loses her family and two fingers in the process, poor Ellie didn’t deserve that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I first saw the First teaser trailer for the last of us part 2 I was under the impression that Ellie was of course enraged with a group, and she was going to get revenge with Joel trying to talk her out of it. The next few trailers later it still shows Joel and Ellie giving hints about the story being about revenge. One trailer showed Abby, which no one ever would’ve guessed she was going to be a playable character and would be a nuisance to the entire game. I bought the game and played it with an open mind, not with a “closed” one according to Neil cuckmens little remark. I was of course under the impression Joel would join Ellie as the companion this time as you play as Ellie because of said trailers. Of course 2 hours in you’re swapping between both Ellie and Abby. Which was already starting to become a stupid idea. A brand new character that we know nothing about is playable within the first hour. I didn’t think much of it until 2 hours in. Abby kills Joel and doesn’t show the reason why at all. After his death I didn’t feel sad in the slightest. I felt annoyed at the fact Joel doesn’t even appear in the game unless it’s flashbacks, which is stupid. Instead of making Ellie’s story so mixed up and just making her have flashbacks with memories of Joel and having to go back and forward with Abby and Ellie, why couldn’t be start the game off arriving at Jackson with Ellie? It would’ve made the game a lot better, it would’ve given Joel a lot more time to be in the game, and it would’ve actually gotten a way better score. Finish the game with Ellie’s story and unlock abbys after, or make a dlc for abbys side of the story. But no, we get to play 10-12 hours with someone we already don’t like, that we have to learn why they had to end Joel and naughty dog really think ya we’d be attached to characters with no kind of development behind them. We have your average Mexican character that is forced to have an accent which is really generic and pretty racist because believe it or not, not every Hispanic has an accent after years of living in the US, then we have the generic love triangle, not to mention on both sides of the story, both Ellie and Abby are in one. No one hates the game because Ellie is gay, everyone who played the first knows that she’s into girls, I love Ellie for the character development. That’s the reason everyone felt close to both of these characters both Ellie and Joel, because of the journey they took together. No one cares about a group of people who you learn about in under 12 hours. The last of us took me far longer to beat than part 2, this game was complete **** because of how lazy naughty was and how much they could’ve done and added but didn’t because Neil has his head too far up his ass to even make the characters have common sense. Last time I checked Joel did not trust a stranger, like the “hurt” hunter from the first game. Since when did he go so soft? The fact that we know so little about both Jesse and Dina and they want us to feel any kind of bond with them. I saw Jesse getting his face blown off and literally wasn’t fazed by it that’s how **** the development was, we knew nothing about Jesse. Just that him and Dina dated and he was friends with Ellie. Unlike Sam and henry from the first, you actually knew they were by themselves and you saw how much Henry did for his little brother. And in the end Sam turns and Henry kills himself. What did we know at all about Owen and Mel other than they were going to have a baby? What did we know about any other one of abbys friends other than they were her friends? How do they expect us to like them when we don’t even know anything about them and we already killed them before we learned what they were like, and it’s not like we were given an actual choice like a TellTales game. This games mechanics are like the first but with minor upgrades, which for me isn’t a problem, I got this game wanting a story close to the 1st but since the first trailer I knew it was unlikely but I was expecting to play as Ellie and only as Ellie but we couldn’t even get that. AND NO I DONT LIKE THE GAME BECAUSE IM A “homophobe” or “transphobic” or because I’m playing with a lesbian female. I hate the game because the way they organized the story and the fact we were forced to swap with a completely new character that I hated within the first 2 hours. Flashbacks should’ve been played first so they wouldn’t be flashbacks, literally they were so **** pointless, Ellie just goes through something the screen goes dark and literally what just happened to her does not relate at all to her flashbacks of Joel. I hope naughty dog learns from this. And if they plan on making a 3rd they shouldn’t use Ellie anymore because they’ll only make another crap story Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Como explicar esto...

    La primera parte me ennnncanto, de hecho es el juego al que más cariño tengo (junto al primer tomb raider, siendo este bastante más antiguo) Pero esta segunda parte me ha dejado muy mal sabor de boca.

    SPOILER

    Iré al grano:

    No me molesta la muerte de Joel, de hecho, hasta cierto punto del juego, la entendía y "me cuadraba" quizás no le Dan la muerte que yo le habría dado... Pero vale, ok, no le pondré pegas.

    Pero que es eso de hacerme controlar durante tantas horas a la asesina de Joel?

    Encima intentan hacer que me caiga bien e incluso sienta pena por ella, por favor... Fracasan estrepitosamente en esto, al menos conmigo, en ningún momento llego a sentir simpatía por ella PERO no contentos con esto... Encima intentan hacer que me caiga mal Ellie!!!

    Ellie en el primer juego estoy seguro de que le cayó bien a absolutamente todo el mundo (o al menos a la gran mayoría). De acuerdo, es un personaje creado por una compañía de videojuegos, pueden hacer con ella lo que quieran PERO ERA NECESARIO HACER QUE NOS CAYERA MAL A TODO EL MUNDO??!!!


    Abby Mata a Joel, ok, pero Ellie, mata a todos los amigos de Abby, se encuentran, se pegan pero no se matan, pasan los años, Ellie es feliz con Dyna y de repente... Le da la locura y vuuuuelve a empezar con la tontería de ir a matar a Abby. Que Abby ha matado a Joel, pero tu has matado a todos sus amigos. Quieres dejarlo ya y ser feliz? Pues no... Siguen esforzándose en hacernos coger manía a Ellie. La vuelve a encontrar, se vuelven a pegar y ahora es Ellie la que perdona la vida a Abby... Mira no, me has hecho coger asco a Abby, me has hecho coger asco a Ellie, ya remata este montón de mierda matando a Abby... O a Ellie.. O... YO QUE SE, VEIS LO QUE HABÉIS HECHO? AL FI AL QUERÍA QUE MURIESEN TODOS Y QUE NO VUELVA A HABER UN THE LAST OF US!!! Dejadme vivir tranquilo con el buen recuerdo del primer the last of us, por favor, no volváis a destrozarnos una franquicia de este calibre.

    Mención especial eso si, al apartado técnico, impresionantes las animaciones y los gráficos en general, creo que no se le puede pedir más a una máquina de esta generacion. Un 10 en este sentido, un 0 en todo lo demás.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am truly disgusted by the last of us 2, not because Ellie is a part of the LGBT or any other nonsense. It's because of how sony published the trailer with Joel in it and saying "You think I'd let you do this on your OWN?" this game just scammed me. I stayed away from the spoilers and I thought it will be the best game I will ever play. But like 1 hour and 30 minutes into the game and Joel died. I felt sad and mad. Especially at Abby so well done Naughty dog for that but just why? Why Joel so goddamn fast? I didn't wait 7 years just some buffed ugly hoe to kill my favourite character and the main character of the last of us. But I didn't stop playing and went into Seattle to get revenge. Many people like jacksepticeye said it isn't worth it. But me and most of the community plus Pewdiepie we wanted revenge so badly. So good job Naughty dog for that one too, you actually made me play the game just so I get revenge on Abby. Guess what? You first have to kill most of her friends just to get to her. It still didn't made me soft on Abby. So fast fowarding a bit when you kill mel which is pregnent. You get home to the cinema and have a good day with Jesse and Tommy. I was actually kind of happy because they reuinited but still in shock that Ellie just killed a pregnent lady. I mean self-defence but still. Tommy then goes outside of the room and then gets down on the floor. You hear something in the other room and you fastly try to run to the door to check what's happening. You immediately go inside and Jesse gets shot into the head. And see Abby that **** **** hurting Tommy. She says throw your gun away while pointing at Tommy. After that, she points at you looking like she killed Ellie. So you get furious that she killed Jesse and might actually even killed Ellie, so another point for Naughty because they wanted you to feel that way. Then -10000 points for Naughy because it's making you play as **** Abby for 10 hours. At this part, I was so unbothered but I still went into the adventure. Just to empathize for Abby and see Ellie is actually the bad guy. Basically she justs saves a Zebra and some scars members because apparently the other one was trans and cut her hair off but it was against the rules for women to cut their own hair off but whatever. They actually save you first but then you save them after like a day of **** WITH OWEN. Like what in the actual **** I ain't watching some women getting ****ed while having pecs. Jk. Anyways she saves them blah blah blah. and Yara one of the sisters that Abby saved had her arm destroyed by some buff guy from the scars. So you try to help them and give them a secure safe home with Owen and Mel. You find out that you have to chop her arm off or she will get sick and probably die but you don't have the right tools so you have to travel to the hotel on some bridges built by the scars which were pretty cool. Then they find out that you escaped trying to find Owen because he killed a friend of yours and his. But apparently you weren't allowed by Issac. So you get locked up but a friend of yours which is still alive decides to release you. The worst part is you have to go into the zone where the first of the first people got the virus. So obviously there will be a part of the infection you never have seen before. A giant zombie boss that has been composed of multiple infected. Honestly scary to see in real life but in a video game for me personally it was actually cool looking. You kill it and honestly. Best part of the game over there. You get back to Lev and go back. She got her arm removed and it was nice for a while but then Lev wanted to go back on the island that the scars took over, where their mother was. So you must follow her, but at the same time, the WLF is attacking. Lev kills the mother because the mother was 100% crazy and didn't agree with Lev. After you get Lev Issac comes out of nowhere and just kills Yara, obviously Lev was sad but had to go on. You escape the island and go back to the home where Mel got killed and Owen, You find a map of where Ellie is located and confront her. Then YOU **** HAVE TO FIGHT WITH ELLIE. LIKE SERIOUSLY, this part made me so mad. And she even actually **** wins but lets Ellie alive. So after like 1 year, I think it wasn't mentioned anywhere. Dina's baby is born and you have a cute house in the countryside. Then Tommy comes and tells you about Abby and Lev which made me mad that even Tommy asked Ellie that such a thing when she even had a family. Dina shuts him off and he leaves. So while sleeping you get nightmares of Joel. She decides to go to kill Abby which I actually kind of understand. She had nightmares of Joel and to be honest what would you do in the same situation just keep on living having nightmares of your "dad" or make justice for him. Obvs I was kind of happy but for Ellie not really, she had a family. Abby was looking for the fireflies. But got captured and Ellie asked to fight and not just shoot her. 5000Max Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a sad day considering I loved The Last of Us so much. A genuinely amazing story, with fantastic gameplay, interesting characters, and a terrifying setting that you must constantly fight through. The final decision Joel had to make was powerful and impactful. This sequel is not that.

    If I were rating this as a stand alone game completely disregarding any premise of story prior, and not experiencing the gameplay of The Last of Us, it would probably be a solid 5 or 6 out of 10. The problem is that this story feels like it completely derails the story the first game had. When we finished the first game we saved Ellie, and lied to her about the fireflies. This could have been a great way to build up the second game. We could have had the two search for a cure themselves, and if the writers wanted Joel to die it could have come at the end of the game or near the end of the game. Ellie could have found out that Joel had lied about the fireflies, Abby could have been in a group of fireflies that heard about Ellie, and hunted Joel down. Ellie and Joel have a big fight, and they split up only for Ellie to hear gunfire, and find Joel dying at the hands of Abby. Then, Ellie has to fight and come to terms with the fact that she cared deeply for Joel, but his lying and protection of herself jeopardizes the fate of the world. Something along those lines could have been fantastic and very well executed. We could have played the parts as Abby prior to this to build up her character and motivations for doing what she does. It could have been an amazing sequel to an already amazing game.

    We didn't get that though. We got a sloppy, poorly executed story. Joel dies very, very early on. We have no build up for this Abby character, and then are expected to play as her? That is insanity. Why in gods name would I want to play as a character who just killed an incredibly beloved character? This could have been circumvented so easily if the game had you play as Abby in the beginning and turn her into a character we cared about as well, but it doesn't. Instead we get a horrible impression of her immediately, have to suffer through playing as her, which then feels like a chore because we already dislike her, and then we are expected to believe Ellie just forgives her in the end. It's sloppy. It's not a good story. It doesn't captivate me. It made me frustrated to even play the game.

    Now I'm very critical of stories in games, because it's the main reason I'm playing them. The gameplay was still good, but it felt very lazy because it was like a copy and paste of the first game's gameplay. While it's not a bad thing considering I already spending 50+ hours on the last of us, spending more time doing the exact same stuff starts to feel tedious and boring. I wish they did more to change up or add some new interesting mechanics to spice it up a bit. It really could have turned this review into at least a 5/10 if the gameplay was able to bring more enjoyment to the game itself. The graphics and sound design were beautiful, it's just too bad that graphics and sound design don't mean anything if your game isn't up to snuff.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like many other people created an account here just to write this review. This game is difficult, not only to rate but to get through in general, the gameplay along with the animations are 10/10 and the pinnacle of the industry. The story however is where it immensely falls off, it’s not necessarily hot garbage but it’s pretty damn close. To take the characters we love and spent a whole game with and treat them like this is one of the most pointless and colossal **** ups I've ever seen. You could have taken it in any other possible direction and it would have been better than what we got. I didn’t even want to finish this game I had no drive no motivation and still don’t understand how you expected to introduce new characters have them kill our old characters then force us to play over half the game as them. It was a struggle to get through and I have no intentions of playing it again Expand

    Let me begin by prefacing this review with the fact that I personally never go out of my way to review anything, but after finishing The Last Of Us Part 2 I had some issues to air. To begin on a positive, the game play, animation, voice acting and virtually every element of game design within this game were absolutely flawless & like nothing I’ve seen in a game before, for that alone theLet me begin by prefacing this review with the fact that I personally never go out of my way to review anything, but after finishing The Last Of Us Part 2 I had some issues to air. To begin on a positive, the game play, animation, voice acting and virtually every element of game design within this game were absolutely flawless & like nothing I’ve seen in a game before, for that alone the game is worth playing. However, the games major issues are in its story & script writing. To say it’s weak is being generous. There were glaring plot holes & poor choices in writing throughout the games entirety. The game turned the dark, bitter sweet emotion of the first game, which centres on the father / daughter like relationship between Ellie and Joel ( that I personally consider to be one of the best written narratives of all time) & flushed it down the toilet within the first couple hours of the game, turning it into a social justice push, that thematically didn’t fit with the setting. (Not that I have any issues with social issues being present in games, just that it feels forced & unnatural) Outside of this, the games timeline is constantly jumping back and forth over a number of years, with no continuity, making it unnecessarily complicated & taking away from the immersion in the primary story arch. This also deters you from going out of your way to explore & gather materials to upgrade your arsenal, as the upgrades and weapons you gather don’t travers across time with you, making them for the most part relatively pointless. (Incredibly frustrating discovering a new weapon, to not have it accessible in your next gunfight because you’re at a different point in time) The game sets up smaller, somewhat interesting plot lines, that lead absolutely nowhere & have no resolution, which was painfully irritating, particularly after taking the time to find & read notes, that you have to go well out of your way to find, for them to lead to nothing. The characters motivations are just plain and simply ridiculous, they chop and change between their moral and ethical standpoints & it’s honestly just frustrating to play. The end game is incredibly underwhelming & leaves much to be desired, with no more conclusion than you have about 4 hours prior to the end. By all means play the game & discover the issues for yourself. There are some amazing moments to be had, but overall the fantastic game design, that I & many others have waited 7 years to relive, was dragged down by a lacklustre narrative that was derivative & without any clear direction; that after roughly 30 hours of game play has left me with my hands on my face asking “why?” & “what was the point?” Incredibly disappointed & frustrated.

    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]
