    The only points I can give this game realistically belong to the cinematography and the graphics.

    Neil Druckmann has spat on the fans that loved the first game, both figuratively and literally by having his self-insert character Manny spit on Joel's corpse.

    Neil Druckmann has spat on the fans that loved the first game, both figuratively and literally by having his self-insert character Manny spit on Joel's corpse. The game took me roughly 16 hours to finish and the ending is a massive letdown (the game ends with "Yep" ffs), I understand now why some scenes were hard for some of the team at Naughty Dog to model and/or complete fully, and I doubt anyone except Druckmann himself are proud of this so called "video game".

    That brings me to my second point, the game is very linear aside from 1 or 2 open ended areas and feels more like an interactive movie than it does a playable video game, often just walking place to place or being placed into a cutscene, the Cordyceps infected are only in the game a handful of times making them feel like humanity isn't really under threat from them that much anymore. To put it into perspective what I mean about it being an interactive movie, a notable streamer had someone in his chat chart up just how much of what he played in 4 hours was actual gameplay, it came to 33 minutes OUT OF FOUR HOURS.

    Save your money and wait for Ghosts of Tsushima, or buy Persona 4 Golden on PC if your money is burning a hole in your pocket. For fans of the first game the story is simply insulting, killing Joel in such a horrific and unceremonious manner, Ellie and Joel not really having any interaction outside of flashbacks/the ending and you don't even get the cathartic pleasure of giving Abby a taste of her own medicine after forcing me to play as and TRYING to get me to sympathize with this psychopathic serial killing woman for half of the game...

    Damn. What is happening with game industry nowadays? This is not a video game. This is a video novel with a little bit of video game in it. "Press X at the right time to push enemy away". Bollocks. Gameplay mechanic that is 15 years old. Irritating main characters. It's good that indie games are getting better and better. AAA games are crap.

И это уже начинает сильно напрягать, устаешь от повторяющегося геймплея. Вторая часть игры не нужна, она затягивает игру.

    But the main thing on everyone's mind is its' divisive story. Personally, after playing start to finish, I loved and enjoyed every emotion I felt during the campaign. It was a little jarring not playing as Ellie in the latter half, but I can undoubtedly see why they did what they did. They brought new depth to the old adage "two sides to every story", and capped it off with a long, emotional, and impactful denouement.

    This game wasn't about being a badass and mindlessly killing everything in your path. This is a game that makes you think, and weigh the moralities of this fictional universe.

    I strongly suggest playing the first game if you haven't already, just to get a better feel for the story. If you just want to loot and shoot, this game might be for you, but unless you can open your heart and see the message Naughty Dog was trying to send, and make us feel, then I can understand why you would pass on this game. Just don't give it a zero solely because it didn't live up to what you built up inside your head all these years waiting for the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I waited so long for this game. I understand that Joel had to die to progress the game. Although being brutally beaten to death in front of Ellie is a slap to the face to the character and the fans. Joel & Tommy would’ve never been that complacent. The game play/mechanics are amazing, but I can’t get passed how Joel was killed. Then out of nowhere you play as Abby for 10hours!? Another slap to the face. Then to top it off Ellie let’s her go at the end. The motivation to excel in the game is to get revenge... and you let her go? Makes Ellie look weak and ignorant. Ellie lost everything... Joel (father figure), her gf (&JJ), 2 fingers bitten off (now she can’t play guitar), Tommy lost an eye, and SHE DIDN'T AVENGE JOEL!!!! That’s a slap to the face to Tommy’s character as well. She had no problem killing everyone else but the one person that started it all gets to go free? It was poorly written. I think they had some administrative issues within ND that was prolonging the release and they quickly slapped together this trash. I feel personally let down. As do many other gamers. I think the fact that this game was so horrible should reflect on Neil Druckman’s work ethic and it should cost him his job position at ND. He’s so out of touch with the characters, he should’ve never made a Part 2. I’m done with ND games. I hope they see this review..... YOU LET US ALL DOWN!… Expand

    Pésimo final arruinó por completo el juego y la franquicia, se centro más en la inclusión que en un guión de calidad, la jugabilidad media, y las gráficas medias pero la historia arruinó todo el juego por completo lamentablemente.

    New characters shoul've owned this sequel, since the sinergy with all the first game ones do not sinergyses that good with the storyline they try to build, however, gameplay and artistics are pretty good but in a game with 60% cinematics, the storyline is the most important element.

    Honestly having played the first last of us game, it was such a fun and enticing game, with an amazing storyline. It was both fun and harrowing experience playing.

    But with this sequel, the only redeeming factor is the soundtrack and graphics. And that is all I can be amazed of, the gameplay hasn't changed much with a few tweaks and kinks being fixed from the first game, the characters aren't invested enough for me to be attached to and especially how the game just brush of the history of the first game for a cliche revenge story. Naughty dog definitely screwed up with this game, they could have delivered an amazing game even with just using Ellie as the only main character but no, they have to screw it up by bringing in a new character(Abby) which we the fans of the first game have no emotional value towards, so many flaws here and there, oh and I couldn't care less about using female characters, but at least make them likeable for us the players. The ending could also have been more impactful for us if it justified the death of Joel, it's hard seeing him die a dog's death with no reason.

    This game took 7 years for them to make, it could have been better especially that storyline. Fans are already accustomed to the dark tone and are ready for anything Naughty dog could have given them, but this is just a complete mess, the amount of dark tone in this game isn't even justifiable. Seriously disappointed as a long time fan of both Naughty dog and the TLOU franchise.    … Expand

    I don’t usually take my time to write a proper review, but seeing this hate bandwagon made me realize there are a lot of people who have nothing to do in life so they **** on art they don’t enjoy (which is fine if they don’t like), but that’s not the case for most people giving 0’s to this game a couple of hours after the game came out (the game, I reiterate, is about 18-30h long.

    But moving on to my honest opinion about this game in particular: I think the characters really stood out to me. As in any Naughty Dog game, this one is also very character-driven. Ultimately, this is a story about revenge, hate, and violence, but also about redemption and forgiveness. Yes, I agree that this theme has been heavily used in every entertainment medium, but they rarely do it justice. I can happily say that The Last Of Us Part II has not did justice to the theme itself, but also did stay true to the world, the character development, and the hidden symbology behind this perfectly crafted cyclic narrative (which I will not spoil, but it has to do with the ending itself). All the narrative beats fit perfectly with each other, and it always brings other elements of surprise, right when you think you know what to expect for the ending, another story beat hits you in the face and changes your perspective. Also, you should never go to part II expecting the same thing you experienced in part I. Although that same feeling can be felt through other types of relationships, and some perfect flashbacks, the first one is very different from the second one. Lastly, I just want to say that I think this game will not only define how we all experience video games in the future, but also define how they are engineered, thought, and its story will be discussed and debated for many years to come, just like we did for the first one.

    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...
