    Honestly, best game of the year so far.

I feel sorry for those people who bombed the negative reviews (without playing it in most cases) for such an awesome game like this. There are no better words for the game: UNBELIEVABLE, MASTERPIECE.

    Dear Naughty Dog! Thank you so much for this extraordinary experience. Please continue your hard work, don't let the negative people influence your decisions. Do what you think is right in your future games.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They killed Joel in the most disrespectful way ever.
    Game is trying to give us many reasons to why we should care about a random NPC's life in the first game. Story telling is nonsense and game is full of darkness, it makes you feel worse after you play it , cause there's just sadness and drama.
    Nobody would like to play a game that is insisting on hating the character that made you love the original game.
    Ellie treats Joel in the worst way ever ! What about all the things they did together and all the things Joel did for her.
    I want more respect for the character that we all loved , And I would like to see him more.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First thing first, the team that took care of the graphics is really talented and deserves more than this trash game, amazing stuff, shadows are perfect, lights are perfect, everything looks amazing, 1 point for that.

    Now to the grim part, don't even know where to begin, from the very start we see Ellie be an absolute **** to everyone, doesn't even feel like herself for most of the game, she felt human in the first game, now she's basically a cold blooded killer without emotions, arguably one of the best things of tlou1, the relationship between Joel and Ellie is completely gone, our beloved director spat on it just like he spat on Joel's dead body in his tasteless and **** cameo.

    Joel gets killed like a rabid dog within 2 hours into the game in front of tommy and Ellie, she shows emotions for about 5 seconds and then goes back to her emotionless state unless some flashback or ptsd is needed for the plot, in general everyone gets over terrible things super quick, just the time for the cutscene to end and its all good.

    After Joel dies, Ellie goes on a quest for revenge, the user can expect many hours of endless walking simulator and scavenging, absolutely no new mechanics in the game, some animations and minigames are exactly the same from the first game (death by clickers and generators for example)

    After the walking simulator part is done we see Ellie's actual original intent start to happen in the game, she kills many of Abby's friends in the process without thinking twice, she even gives the same treatment that was given to Joel to Nora, just with a lead pipe instead of a golf club. Around the same time we also discover that Dina, character that lacks of any background story or depth except having kissed Ellie while drunk, is pregnant and followed Ellie even though she knew she was, yeah yeah strong woman, really woke, right? no, just stupid, you'll lose your kid, putting another life in danger but its a game, whatever,

    We finally get to what seems to be the end, Abby finds them, kills Jesse in a second and then threatens to kill tommy, screen goes black and we switch to Abby's point of view of the last 2 days.

    For the entire time the game tries to make you feel bad about Abby, showing how good of a person she is even playing with dogs am i right? no, no one cares about her, never seen her before and doesn't have any background, all the player knows is that she tortured and killed Joel, no matter how hard they try, most people will hate Abby endlessly, I know I did and I also hated every second played as her, we get through some "side quest" shoved into the game to make it 2 hours longer about Abby, ruthless killer of scars, torturer of Joel, having a random change of heart and saving 2 scars and that's all.

    Back to the theater, finally i thought i'd get to play as ellie and.... nope, you must play as Abby, chase ellie and go in for the kill, tommy gets shot in the back of the head by Abby, somehow survives, Dina gets her face smashed on the ground by Abby and is about to get her throat slit when the scar kid Abby saved calls her name and everything is good, Abby leaves ellie, tommy and Dina alive, gotta make this game a bit longer am i right?.

    Speed through some happy family scene, bla bla bla no one cares and we get to the last part, the biggest let down in the game, tommy visits Ellie and tells her where Abby is, after a bit of indecision she pursues her, after months and months we finally get to the final showdown and... ellie doesn't complete her revenge, apparently, joel, the man who ruthlessly murdered an entire hospital and killed his friend or whatever she was in the first game, marlene, to prevent ellie from being in danger wouldn't have wanted Ellie to finish off Abby.

    the whole story doesn't deserve a single point and it also feels like political agenda, its clearly noticeable how the only white straight characters are there because they were in the story already, everyone else is either non white, gay/a lesbian/trans or both, i don't have anything against those categories but its it feels very unlikely that minorities would become majorities after the apocalypse...

    Conclusion: don't waste your time and money on this game, it's a total let down, druckmann just followed his own agenda and didn't care at all about the story or the fans, hopefully this is a wake up call for people about naughty dog.    … Expand

    Just disappointing
    I played the first game back in 2013 on ps3 and i was just amazed how beautiful the narrative was and how complex and detailed each character was, for me it was the best game I’ve ever played. Then I decided not to buy xbox one and buy ps4 just because I wanted to experience this game once more on the next gen console. And since then I've total of 8 playthroughs and    Just disappointing

And since then I've total of 8 playthroughs and another 2 on the left behind. I loved that game so much that I get bored of it. Then when part 2 was announced I wasn’t sure if I wanna play because the ending of the first was so perfect that I thought Niel Druckmann would just ruin it if he tried to continue it ( If it ain’t broke don’t fix it ) Then it came out and every single idea they put in the first game they just kill it in this one, they’re trying so hard to spoil everything you loved about the characters. I got to a point where I don’t know what am I playing. And I can’t event get back and play the first part because it’ll remind me of how bad the second one is So my advice to you if you haven’t played it and you love the first one just don’t try to ruin your experience by playing this, trust me it’s not worth it    … Expand

    Gameplay is solid, but the story made key mistakes. Spat on a beloved character, and forced excessive amounts of unwanted gameplay as Abby, Joel's killer. Just not a satisfying ending either, as Joel gets no justice, and Abby walks free while Ellie has nothing .

    You don't need a good history anymore, just put some teenage drama and some artificial relashionships while demolish the one relashionship that we are realy invested. So tired of swallowing progressive propaganda in my games. Leave the gamer alone **** SWJ. Besides that this game has poor, contrived writing that is just trying to prove a point.

    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]
