    Now with the things I didn't like well it's a lot of bad things The most important thing in a game like this is the story not the graphics neither the gameplay
    The story is awfull and in some point i was forced to do things i hated to do.
    The ending didn't make any thing right It did the opposite making our journey pointless.
    This is my opinion on the game that I want to consider as a nightmare that didn't happen.    … Expand

    Once you know the story and do a replay, you'll get bored really quickly. There are so many QTEs and given directions, you don't feel like playing the game at all. It's like watching a movie with some minigames in the pauses between the cutscenes.
    Graphics are pretty, but nothing we haven't seen before, for example in Uncharted 4, gameplay is ok-ish, but with a heavy focus on grinding.

It was like watching a movie that I was forced to watch, the person that made me watch the movie really loves it, and wants you to too, but you feel bad telling them if was terrible. I wanted to like it, I loved the first one. This made no sense as far as character development. The characters become either stupid or careless to drive plot.… Expand

    Since this is a story game and the whole gameplay is built around the story, we can say for sure that this is a failure. The narrative is poorly structured. The motivation of some of the characters looks contrived and inadequate as well as their actions. At the end of the game, you have a feeling of wasted time. The gameplay has not changed since part 1. He got better, but nothing more.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do I begin with this game. This has to be the most disappointing and frustrating game i've ever played. I remember watching Pewds play the 1st one because I couldn't afford a ps3 back in the day.
    I experienced the game for myself a month before last of us 2 came out and it became my third favorite game of all time. Experiencing the characters and they're development, the music, the gameplay and more for myself really got me hyped for the sequel. Then i played last of us 2, what a trainwreck. Ellie is a mindless killer who doesn't care about anyone but herself. She treats Joel like **** the whole game and Joel gets killed just for shock value. Then we have to play as her killer for half the goddamn game when I WANTED nothing more than to see her DIE. Little to no innovation in the game, A.i are retarded for the most part until they see you and your a.i companions are garbage. They're 10 times worse than in the first one. Then during the flashback when joel tells ellie what really happened he doesn't explain himself well AT ALL. They make Joel look like the bad guy through the whole game and make him and Tommy retarded, leading to Joel's death. Then the ending was the worst thing i've ever seen after all the people ellie killed, after killing joel her father figure what does she do to the one person who did 99% of the killing. SHE LETS HER GO, LIKE WHAT!?!? Ellie is left broken and she cant play guitar anymore, Tommy is crippled and divorced, and Joel is dead making Sarah's death meaningless. And the one who killed the main character of the first game gets EVERYTHING SHE WANTS revenge and a friend to continue to survive with. But revenge is bad for ellie but good for abby. what a ****ty story. Please don't waste your money on this piece of **** The graphics, the flashbacks with joel and ellie, and the music literally save this game from being a 0!!!! The worst ps exclusive of the generation and easily the most disappointing. i don't want to make this longer than it already is but these were the main points i wanted to hit.

    Story:0/10
    Gameplay:0/10
    Music:9/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is unfortunate that the production team chose a path to such a mediocre story. They could have played an epic game, with Joel and Ellie in a more mature relationship, who knows until his death, but in a dignified way, like a warrior he was, and not with a simple coadjuvant. They could have written an intelligent, captivating script as in the first game, but they preferred to try to break the expectation, and the result was total rubbish. If the graphic design was not so beautiful, this game would be a total failure, honestly, I would like to get my money back.… Expand

    A very disappointing story, Other than that the game is 10/10 in everything else. LITERALLY! Character representation was done poorly, felt like i was forced to like that guy and this girl and not to like that guy or this girl. In the end... could have been better than the first game if the story was good.

I loved all the characters, even the ones that we didn't get to know too much about before they left the narrative, or died. This game has done everything in reverse. They may have created a beautiful game with more enemies and characters and mechanics, but the story is ridiculous and contradictory, and not in any intelligent or progressive way; the characters are bland and I cant find myself caring about any of them, as there is no reason to, especially since they die and no one cares, including myself. I could go on and on about how they butchered Joel, Ellie, Tommy, and the idea of overarching villains, but there isn't really any reason at this point in time due to the attention that the game has received in correspondence with the horrible choices the creators made. I bought the game to see for myself whether the game was as bad as people were claiming cause I had faith that Naughty Dog was better than all the other game companies like Blizzard, Ubisoft, etc, but I was wrong, and altough I know now for sure for myself I also can justify the 60$ I spent on this game at all. I preferred the mess of the Left Behind dlc to this cause at least I actually liked Riley and her relationship with Ellie. All I can say for Dina is that she is pretty, her personality is nonexistent and her "chemistry" with Ellie is presumed by the creators as if that's how friendships/romances work. Side note: The guitar scene with dina and Take Me On went on for way too long, and I feel that it sums the game up perfectly. The dev's try to force emotions onto the player but it comes off fake, awkward, and empty. Also, Abby.… Expand

    One of the best games visually. Actors have done a great job considering the weak storytelling. The gameplay is almost identical to the original and it feels like you are playing a fine tuned version of the original. Unfortunately the warm story beats of the TLU is no where to be found. Its dark for the sake of dark, and tries so hard to be woke. But in the end result is mediocre at best.

    I am still obsessed with the first game and would say it’s the best PlayStation game of all time, the disappointment while playing part 2 was unreal and the only reason I finished it was because I loved the first game so much and wanted to continue playing because I had waited 7 YEARS to play a second game. This
    Is not the game we wanted. So gutted it’s unreal.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The previous game was a good journey with a solid gameplay and visual experience; the focus wasn't really the storyline, but its narration and the empathy that you develop towards Ellie and Joel.
    This game basically match the expectation with the gameplay (pretty much like the previous one) and the visual (top notch as 2020), however it failes when it comes to narration, plot and characters.

    In this game you play with Ellie in the first half, and another character for a little bit, until you have to play as Ellie again.

    In the first half of the game you experience scenes that allow you to understand Ellie a little better, expecially with Joel and another girl (Ellie is lesbian). Unfortunaly only the scenes with Joel are well done, and the session in the natural science museum can easily be marked as the best thing you'll experience in this game. Her relation with the other girl can described without spoiler as meaningless because it's never been properly developed for various reasons. When finally the two are together Ellie decide to leave her for her last journey towards the end of the game as a proof the Ellie-Joel bond was simply better story wise and the girl relation wasn't a big deal.

    In the other character experience there's not much to talk about. You're going to experience the story from a different point of view and it takes a while to understand the motivation of the new character.

    The game ends with Ellie who leave the girl she supposed to love, and starts a journey that probably will takes months or so to hunt down the other character you played with.
    It's really difficult to understand why they invest to much in the romance just to ditch it away in the end, why Ellie starts a journey to find another girl that as far as she know may well be dead (or may die during her hunt). It's even harder to understand the ending scene, knowing that no previous hints were shown to comprehend the sudden change in motivations that Ellie.
    The whole ending scenes feel bad because a lot a things happen during this journey and none of them allow the player to understand the final choice of Ellie, leaving the player with the uncomfortable sensation that the devs focus too much on side contents narration and invest so few in the meaningful storyline.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I consider this game a failure of Neil Drakman. The game is stuffy, drawn out and stupid in the setting of the plot. For me, the game ended at the point where we said goodbye to Joel. That's what kept the games going. It is he who is first remembered by all the players. His character, reticence, and decisions generally influenced how he became and how he was remembered. But in the second part of such memorable characters were. What did we trade Joel for? On the pumped-up, slightly stupid Abby, who betrayed all her close friends, in order to save unfamiliar characters. Or Allie, who suffers from bipolar disorder? Her opinion changes like a weather vane.
    If I had been in Joel's shoes at the end of the original The Last of Us, I would have accepted Ellie's surgery without a second thought.
    Dina was brought into the game to...
    To have it!
    Remove it from the game, an insignificant part of the story will disappear.
    The game itself cannot be an independent product. It is based on the success of the first part.
    The Last of Us should have been left without a sequel. I feel sorry for the money I gave for the game.

    I am ready to praise the technical component of the game. I didn't think that from an old PS4 you can pull such a beautiful picture.

    The game doesn't deserve more than the score.    … 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.
