    Fantastic graphics as expected. But graphics can only get you so far especially when the story you are telling is so nonsensical.

You tend to alienate a good majority of your audience. Why kill off the most beloved character 2-3 hours into the game with absolutely no pay off on the revenge side of things? Little to no interaction between Joel and Ellie besides flashbacks and the golfing scene? I hope your are satisfied, Naughty Dog. Sure, you are going to break sales records with this game and make a crap ton of money. I guarantee going forward your audience is going to be extremely hesitant to pour their hard earned dollars into any sort of media produced by you....… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I simply hate this game. I'm a huge fan of TLoU first part and its story. But the lack of sense in the story in the second part and how stupid and meaningless was treated Joel part in the game(trailers mislead not only me and I call it cheating)shocked me and I just completely lost interest in playing.. The game forces me to play a character that I don't care at all about and later in the game I hate playing it. The ending is a masterpiece in sh.. writing and has no sense whats so ever .Its 8 season of Game of Thrones again but in the game industry. Neil Druckman should NEVER EVER again be a part of any AAA game-period. He destroys one of the best game and story ever created in gaming and for that I hate him from my guts.… Expand

    TLOU2 is a true disaster when it comes to the story. Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann have ruined something that had the potential of being the greatest game franchise ever. The game is full of leftist, SJW nonsense, pro gay, transgender liberal garbage which destroyed the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Please watch the first few hours of the game before you decide to buy it. This game is what i can only describe as torture p0rn + Jake Skywalker + dany forgot about the iron fleet.

    A lot of the promotiona footage was altered to make you think you are geting Joel but in reality they ither replaced a character that is actually there in the ingame cutscene or "aged up" Joel and Ellie to make it look like it's not a flashback. In reality Joel get's killed in a completly retarded way cause Niel Druckman wanted to make torture p0rn. The rest of the game is all abaut revenge but in the end we don't even get that cause Ellie decides not to kill the golfer that beat Joel to death cause... revege is bad? This is after she killed a ton of other people in her persuit of revenge but she randomly decides that the one who actually killed Joel can live. I'm suuuure this has nothing to do with the fact that Hulk golfer and "deffinitly not Niel Druckman" **** in the game.

    The "game" parts are good so i guess it's technicly better than COD and whatnot but this story deserves a dedicated "storyless mode".

    Overall, this is a bad movie sequal on a good but not amazing game skeleton.

    Sorry for my English!!!!

    This game is a masterpiece, but it should not be called The Last Of Us. The Last of Us ended at the second hour of gameplay. All negative reviews are talking about terrible plot, but they did not mention perfect work of programmers, designers and musicians. This game does not deserve such a hate. I would give it 9/10, if it wasn't named The Last of Us game.    Sorry for my English!!!!

All negative reviews are talking about terrible plot, but they did not mention perfect work of programmers, designers and musicians. This game does not deserve such a hate. I would give it 9/10, if it wasn't named The Last of Us game. However, they put everything we loved in the Part 1 away and wanted to sell it, as the second part. I really respect the work of Naughty Dog, but this game is not that game that we all were waiting for 5-7 years. I would try to give a score for every aspect of the game.
    Sounds: 10/10
    Animations: 10/10
    Work of programmers: 10/10
    Feeling of guns: 10/10
    Graphics: 10/10
    Plot: 6/10 Here I would like to explain. This is the story of the game and nobody can change it, but I'm pretty sure that almost every player would like to change the ending. I would give 8/10 to the plot, if we were given a choice in the ending.
    Gameplay: 10/10
    Atmosphere: 10/10
    Characters: 4/10 The Last of Us had such a great success due to its characters. Players felt and understood every character. I don't understand why every character in the second part is so bad. The only characters who were interesting to me were created and taken from the first part of the game. Sometimes I think of the characters from The Last of Us(game I played 7 years ago) and I remember every person and their stories. They all were unique, some of the stories are sad, others are bright, but I keep them in mind after 7 years of playing the game. I am pretty sure that I will replay the first part of this game. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same words about the second part.
    Feelings: 5/10 This game is great, but I did not feel very good at some moments of the gameplay. I wanted even to stop playing. I smiled sometimes during the gameplay, but those smiling were referred to the flashbacks to the first part of the game. I did not fell satisfied after playing the second part.

    The final verdict: 7-8/10 Yes, that is not what we expected. I took 2-3 points from 10, because of the characters, plot and lack of opportunity to choose the ending. I recommend it for playing for everybody, but you do not have to compare it to the first part. These are two different games, unfortunately, in a bad way.
    Guys, please, do not hate and put low scores to this game. Developers spent a lot of time on working, they do not deserve your hate. As I said, this game do not deserve such a low score. Sorry for my English again.
    Так, теперь на русском, так как на английском я не смог высказать все, что я думаю. Как я и сказал, игра супер, но это даже близко не стоит с первой частью. Первую игру я вспоминаю постоянно даже спустя 7 лет после прохождения. К сожалению, в 2013 году Naughty Dog задала сама себе планку, которую не смогла побить. Игра отличная, но это не то продолжение легендарной первой части, которого мы ожидали. Возможно разработчики думали, что мы любим это серию за геймплэй, но лично я люблю первую часть за ее персонажей. Каждого я могу вспомнить до сих пор и описать его историю. В этой игре такого нет, мне было абсолютно плевать на некоторых важных персонажей, некоторые даже раздражали. Единственные моменты, которые заставили меня любить эту игру и наслаждать ею, это флешбеки к первой части и моменты с персонажами из той же первой части. В остальном эта игра не вытягивает. И да, перекаченные бабы на стероидах, азиаты, лезбианки есть, и добавлены они не для красивой истории... К сожалению, сегодняшняя толерантность превратилась в полнейший абсурд.
    Финальный вердикт: 7-8/10 Игра хороша, но с первой частью несравнима.    … Expand

In order to make a successful product and be a good content creator, you must find a balance between satisfying your fans and making something in your vision. Too much pandering is bad, but so is not listening to your consumers and dismissing their complaints. Naughty Dog didn't find a balance here. Delivering repetitive, sloggy gameplay, with a story thats needlessly edgy without depth like some thirteen year old girl's rabid fanfiction. Shock value isn't always going to work, it's a cheap circus trick at best and your consumers in a field like the video game industry always have a higher standard than that. This is by far one of the most underwhelming sequels I've witnesses and there's a reason it's getting "review-bombed".… Expand

    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.
