    Although ND is still a industry leader with TLOU2 graphic wise, they have sold their soul to the story devil. I couldn't believe that what started out in TLOU with great storytelling, devolved into a stupid revenge tale. Highly disappointed with what was released. This is definately a step in the wrong direction and a do not buy till highly discounted for maybe 10 bucks.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest, the middle of the game is fantastic, if you liked TLOU 1 then good news, heres more! Unfortunately the writers got into the sugar cereal and had a meltdown in the story department. I have no problem with killing off main characters, especially to inspire you to follow through the game until the end, but to make you play as the killer of someone you pent 100s of hours with building a relationship with and getting attached to? To be frank, are you high? This is just first and foremost poor story telling and to put this out on the market thinking it was a good idea was a horrible mistake. The only reason i didnt give it a 1 is due to its gorgeous scenery and solid gameplay.… Expand

    2 only for good graphic. I cant see this sjw stuff anymore. You dont understand, that you turn people with this propaganda AGAINST it. I dont care who has sex with man or women, its private thing, but why you rape me with stuff like this on TV, internet, games, Movies etc. It hurts my feelings. Dont buy this, and dont support propaganda. Game was made only for this. Sad.

    The game in itself was great and i enjoyed it, but when the second part of it started it just went down and down. Abby side was compleatly useless to the story and i think it should ended in the Teather part where you fight Abby as Ellie, and then just show The part with farm house. Gameplay 7/10

    Gameplay has nothing strictly speaking wrong with it, except TLoU1 already did all of it and with better context and story. Graphics are inconsequential.

Ideally both. But if your    Gameplay has nothing strictly speaking wrong with it, except TLoU1 already did all of it and with better context and story. Graphics are inconsequential.

Ideally both. But if your gameplay's the usual action-adventure cookie-cutter stuff, and the story absolutely atrocious, the end result isn't going to be any good.

    This could be the greatest game ever made, and I'd still despise it because of the crunch development. That's what's p***ing me off the most about this game, the fact that a horrible, abusive practice went into making it and game journos are letting the man responsible get away with it with no consequences because he's hiding behind progressivism and using it as a defense for his actions. I never would've bought this game, it just never appealed to me, but I'll gladly drag it through the mud for normalizing crunch.    … Expand

    What is this... repetitive, draining and a terrible story to marry it all together. Surprising amount of bugs. Stop making games for journalists, start making them for gamers. You had a beautiful foundation and you filled it with poison. Yikes

    Gratuitous, violent, senseless, much like a teenage netflix show it has clearly lost touch with reality. The writers try to flex and use "look how good of a writer am I did ____" The characters are dull and uninspired, the narrative tears down any positive things about the game as the dread of horrible writing overshadows all narrative moments of levity or well written lines.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jeol died like a trash. NaughtyDog made Joel died like a trash.

    Good Great Stunning for graphic, game play. Some nice action and scene. Plot and story though, don't compare this **** to the first one. Whoever come up with the plot with Joel's execution, delivered it poorly. Stop making game. Go living a sad miserable life instead.

    Went through the whole game and I wish that they could've fake Joel's death to get him off the hook then big surprise by the end. Or Abby got infected by the ending then a sour revenge turn into forgiveness that can be respect. Too easy...... that execution is too easy for Joel. This is the end of the series. A cheap shot for part 2.

    If you never play the last of us before. Then play this game. It's alright with up to date graphic. But if you did play the last of us before. You will find that same feeling like FFXV. The plot that can never be complete.    … Expand

    this game is all about the story because the game play is very shallow. its basically a ps3 style exploration action game straight out of 2012. Even uncharted has better game play because at least there is puzzles in that. this is just explore, look for ammo, gun fight, rinse and repeat with nothing new and stupid AI to boot. there is also no real skill tree because you can play the wholethis game is all about the story because the game play is very shallow. its basically a ps3 style exploration action game straight out of 2012.

I'm all for revenge but its just been done a million times and weak. the main problem with this game though is that so many reviewers have given it 10 out of 10. there is no way even if you are fan of this style of game and this series that this is a ten its a 8 at most mostly for the fact that the game play is so stale, exploration is like a 10 year old game with invisible walls of grass or vines everywhere, you can even jump on cars or anything they haven't scripted which is just lazy game world making for a exploration game there is very little to explore as its all just open air wall corridors on one level. Its like a game from the early 2000's. So how can you give it a 10 that is just poor journalism. another Massive problem with the game is that the level design is so linear and basic its just not acceptable for even a indie game let alone something with this budget in 2020. In the age of Dark souls, Bloodbourne, Tomb Raider and Jedi Fallen order we have a game which sends you down tiny little paths with invisible walls of vines, come ON! and they are giving it a 10/10. I don't understand those reviews, they must be scared if reviewing it poorly other wise they might think people would think they are anti LGBT, and the whole gay thing is way overplayed on this they make such big deal about it, instead of treating it with respect and just being normal about it instead they hinge whole story arcs on it. Graphics and sound are really good but its not enough carry it through the rubbish game play and story, probably wouldn't rate it so low, but the 10's are lies so here is a 2… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The inclusiveness of this game is the least of its problems. I did not care Ellie was a lesbian in the first game and it didn't bother that Abby is transgender, even though it feels a bit forced. My problem is that everything that had a meaning in the first game, doesn't have one anymore in this one. I feel like Neil just gave us a huge slap in the face with Joel's unnecessary death and how pointless it was. This game made want to quit when we were forced to play as Abby right after killing Joel and the having to fight Ellie. The ending was the worst I've ever experienced and made me feel like Ellie's entire journey had no meaning after forgiving Abby for literally killing everything she loved and letting her go. I'm tremendously disappointed and heartbroken. The jump button was basically useless and the visuals were fantastic, which saddly is the only good thing about this game.

    The last of us should never have had a sequel, not like this.

    You just have to check the critics' score to realize that there's something rotten. The plot has tons of holes, the story was probably written by a 12 yo and let's not talk about the ending. I mean what were the Devs thinking. This game has Sarkeesian's scent all over it, I'm truly dissapointed.

    They stomp right over the original game just so they can create some sort of feverish nightmare of a story with sjw politics injected artificially. Breath of the wild dealt with these issues perfectly. They didn't let it affect the story and they didn't force it down your throat

    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.
