    I loved Last of Us 1, but Last of Us 2 was very interesting to play and not in a positive way. I was seriously enjoying the story about Joel's death and Ellie trying to avenge his death, and Ellie's romance on the side. It could have been one of the best games ever.
    Unfortunately, towards the end, I was forced to play as Abby. I really liked Joel as a character, and when Abby killed him,    I loved Last of Us 1, but Last of Us 2 was very interesting to play and not in a positive way. I was seriously enjoying the story about Joel's death and Ellie trying to avenge his death, and Ellie's romance on the side. It could have been one of the best games ever.
    Unfortunately, towards the end, I was forced to play as Abby. I really liked Joel as a character, and when Abby killed him, I, of course, developed a serious dislike for Abby. Furthermore, Abby is just a pissed-off, unlikable character in general. Thus, I really didn't want to play as Abby and found myself just letting zombies kill me because I wanted to return to playing as Ellie, and it was more enjoyable to watch her die than to try to help her survive.
    I tried to play it out as Abby, hoping it would return to Ellie at any moment, but hours went by, and it still made me play as Abby until eventually I just said, "Screw it. I'm not enjoying this game at all, and I stopped playing altogether. I've played almost every rpg there is, and there is only one other game I have stopped playing halfway through. Thus, Last of Us 2 is one of the only games I rate as a 0 out of 10 since it was so unenjoyable that I didn't even finish it. The lesson here is NEVER FORCE THE PLAYER TO PLAY AS AN UNLIKABLE ANTAGONSIST, PLEASE.
    After, being so disappointed with Part 2, I don't recommend either of these games.    … Expand

    To say I didn't like it would be insulting any other game I didn't like.
    This game has got to be the most pretentious garbage I have ever seen.

    Literally the most overhyped hot garbage I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing and I thought the first game was pretty good. It's honestly amazing how it went south so quickly and became such a dumpster fire heap of actual trash. Don't waste your time, you'd have more fun giving yourself a lobotomy.

    Tlou2 is ruined by one director by including certain lifestyle and political propaganda. It's a middle finger for supporters of tlou. This game should mark the downfall of naughty dog creating boring cinematic games.

    Espere tantos años por una secuela del tlou, y esperaba que fuera igual o mejor, pero me encuentro con unos desarrolladores que odian a sus propios personajes, esperaba todo el tiempo que terminara el juego porque fue insufrible y no lo volvi a jugar nunca mas

    No matter how good the graphical gameplay is, bad storytelling and actions that don't match the character's behavior make it all bad

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story could be better. You have to play with the Character who was killing Joel; also, you have to beat Ellie. Because you have to feel the characters' struggle, it feels not right after part 1. For me, this Game killed the Franchise. I'm done with Last of Us.… Expand

    After 2-3 years I have played the game first time without any argument in my mind as a lover of the first game .The last of us part 2 is a game with incredible mechanics and graphics Naughty dog engineers made an incredible job on that noone can argue about that it's a masterpiece but if we come to the main point this game was Joel and Ellie's story as the producer said so I was expectingAfter 2-3 years I have played the game first time without any argument in my mind as a lover of the first game .The last of us part 2 is a game with incredible mechanics and graphics Naughty dog engineers made an incredible job on that noone can argue about that it's a masterpiece but if we come to the main point this game was Joel and Ellie's story as the producer said so I was expecting a game that continues the story of ellie and Joel but it was an absolute disappointment for me I have played like 25-30 hours to experience everything and half of that was with Abby! Neil druckman if you want us to get revenge let us get our revenge there is a mindset that chracters have in the first game but 2nd game is not loyal to that as we know Joel and Tommy are real badass survivours from the first game but they get ambushed like idiots I dont even want to talk about SJWs it's another point that I dont want to write here The game starts with Joel's death from the abbys group and want to get revenge for Joel we kill everyone and when wwe face abby game goes on abby sight before 4 years is that a joke you are making everything to make abby a Main enemy then you are making her a Protaganist that I hate play with Than we beat ellie with abby :!!! that's realy disgusting after all that time when ellie come all way to get revenge she decides to forgive so I wanna ask what was all that for why did you lost all of that great potential of that game and betrayed the story of Ellie and Joel

    The best chracter that I really liked in the game was Tommy I wish we take the revenge of Joel with his little brother Tommy the scene which he killed manny with sniper was really amazing he reminded a miller's power and badass moments the amazing moments in the game was absolutely Tommy scenes hunting abby and Manny + Joel and Ellie's moments.. İt was a game I like but the storyline realy upset me so My score is 2 and it's for the Engineers (Even you make protaganist The TOMMY and we take the revenge of Joel's that will be a game but you have really screwed up the story that's what I can say if we get killed by the people's son's or daugter's we will be the most wanted person in the whole the last of us universe with thousands kills really really so upset and sad):(.(    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I just gave up the game close to the end I think because it wasn't the experience I wanted from Naughty Dog this time around. I didn't want to play as Joel's killer, nor did playing as her for half game inspire any sort of player's guilt or empathy for her side of it. I loved Joel and Ellie and they loved each other which is why I rooted for them so much and in truth is what this whole story is about. Every story has two sides of course but up against Abby and fireflies it's an easy win for Joel and Ellie. There's clearly not much love in Abbys life, and her Dad had it coming for putting his hands on Ellie in the first place. Maybe that's all subjective but anyone can see all the issues TLOU deals with has everything to do with how people deal with each other. Had they sacrificed Ellie, there just would have been more conflict over the vaccine. The conflicts between the Seraphites and WLF are proof of this. Plus zero guarantee sacrificing Ellie would lead to anything.

    Anyway, I only paid 9.99 for it so I don't feel too let down. But I will just say that this was an absolute farcry from Part One. And I think people who loved it should avoid it. Maybe this type of narrative will work better for the tv show. And I'm open to Part 3 if it's a thing being an improvement on this.    … Expand

    It's a great game on some aspects, but when the story does not make sense, when there's so many easy to read manipulative narrative techniques to enforce you to feel things, non-sens events happening to help the plot continuing to live, it's just non-immersive, non interesting.

All the story is understood after 2h in the game and when you dive a little into characters perspective, history and minds, you'll figure out they are no longer who they used to be, making senseless choices that are way off from what they used to be from the first game. They even modificate things in TLOU 1 remake for the plot to have more sense in this useless sequel. Even using the word "sequel" is not right, it's more like a bad spin-off, they even used fake commercials to trick the player into buying this game. I regret spending my money, and my time on this ego-trip from the writter, who believe he's the only one creator of TLOU franchise. And we are lucky he's not, because TLOU 1 is a great piece of art. This is just a constant disapointment, easy and lazy storytelling, bad characters development, bad pacing, bad sequences, I mean, how can a flashback into a flashback can be consider a great "storytelling" ?

    Great respect to the devs though, that made great graphics, that might be the best on PS4 that I've played. Gameplay got no real new interesting features, just melee combat feels better.
    I feel a little diaspointed with the OST as I expected more from Gustavo Santaolalla, who made a better OST in the first one. Thanks to him, the first opus had a real identity, here it feels just okay. Nothing to be rememered.
    At the end, everything in this game feels so enforced that it becomes funny.    … Expand

The middle is ridiculous forcing you to play as Abby who no one cares about. Then they try to make characters we love just so out of character so you'll try and emphasize with Abby. It fails so badly. I’ll wrap the review up by saying the ending could’ve redeem the entire game if they would’ve just let you kill Abby in such a brutal and fantastic way but noooo she survives and manages to bite off two of Ellie fingers lmao what??? This might be the worst sequel to a game in the history of gaming with the story so pathetic it’s some thing a 16-year-old one right on our Tumblr.… 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.

    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]
