    The plot is pure trash, graphics and mechanics are beautiful but the story completely overshadow it. 1 just for the playability and some characters. Anyways this game is awful, play TLOU 1 instead

    What a garbage story, what a disrespectful way to kill a beloved character, what a way to push agendas using video games, compare the first LOU with this rubbish, yeah the play is assume but everything else is trash, if you are a fan of the first LOU, you are up for a disappointment and bad experiment when you finish this rubbish story.
    The game will be returned, what a waste of time.

    Just finished this game, and I am really not sure why people are defending it as much as they are. The characters have no depth. the story is a jumbled up mess that has you dying to care about the characters in the game, but never achieving that. The writing is terrible and it is easy to see that naughty dog has lost several key creative minds since they released part 1 of this game. IJust finished this game, and I am really not sure why people are defending it as much as they are. The characters have no depth. the story is a jumbled up mess that has you dying to care about the characters in the game, but never achieving that. The writing is terrible and it is easy to see that naughty dog has lost several key creative minds since they released part 1 of this game. I have no issues with any "agenda" they may have been pushing, but outside of Ellie and Joel there is not a single character other than "maybe" one that you meet extremely late in the game that you feel the slightest bit compelled to care about. The gameplay is pretty much identical to the first the graphics look awesome, but everything else is more than underwhelming. I am heartbroken they took such a fantastic story and spit right in its face along with all the fans that held the game near and dear coming into this one. I will give it a 1 because there were only a few bugs which is sustainable. Terribly upset this game exists.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “After everything we’ve been through, it all can’t be for nothing.” - Ellie to Joel, The Last of Us. Well, it sure felt like it after this game. Let’s get the obvious out of the way: Graphics were probably the best the PS4 has ever seen and will ever see. Nobody’s going to dispute that. But The Last of Us wasn’t about its stellar graphics when it came out in 2013. The game itself was tied together by the two characters of Joel and Ellie. Not only did those two make the game what it is today, the story itself couldn’t function properly if it WASN’T Joel and Ellie. And that’s the biggest problem with its sequel. The devs made it evidently clear they didn’t view Joel with the same amount of importance as we the fans did. And in little over two hours of gameplay, Joel and Tommy, two of the main character of our beloved first game, two of the most untrusting and hard-headed characters, casual walk into a stranger’s base, and give up their real names and where they LIVE without thinking, KNOWING that Joel is being hunted down, and that’s how he dies. Remember how Joel couldn’t come to trust Henry and Sam, and if Sam wasn’t there, he admits he would’ve KILLED Henry? That’s the type of character Joel is. Whoever Joel is in Part II, that’s not him, and the devs proved it to us they had no care with creating this game and making it about its characters. The best new character we meet, Jesse, gets killed off like he was nothing, and we’re supposed to find a way to sympathize with Abby? They expect us to WANT to play as Abby for over ten HOURS of the game? Yeah, no thanks. But, we have no choice. The game itself demonizes Joel and Ellie to the point where it literally asks you: “What, he didn’t deserve grrring his skull caved in with a golf club?” As well as trying to send they main message they revenge and violence is bad. The entire story felt lazy and uninspired, and had more cringe-worthy sex scenes and unnecessary attempts at decent character development with characters we don’t know nor care about then it did moments that felt like a game about characters that I enjoy. The best moments of this game came in flashbacks that took place right AFTER the events of the first game. Ah, what could’ve been, am I right? The actions all these characters make make little to no sense with who they were compared to the first game, and at the end, when Ellie lets Abby leave on the boat with Lev, after everyone she’s killed, after leaving Dina, and losing Jesse, Joel, and almost Tommy, she doesn’t even carry out her promise to Tommy of avenging Joel, and we, the player, are suppose feel satisfied?

    Gameplay and graphics are great, nobody is saying otherwise. Though there’s so much walking and taking and long, boring moments within this unsatisfying fan fiction of a story that takes an absolute **** on what the original game had created. They didn’t further explore the actual world of The Last of Us, they didn’t continue on with Ellie’s importance of being immune, or even discuss the idea of a vaccine. In the end, it was a worthless game, made for money and money only, and to have our beloved characters lose everything, with no choice or input from the player. A literal interactive movie, that forces us to watch out characters be anything but themselves for twenty-five hours. For a story driven game, this one didn’t hit home. Far from home, really. A disappointment to the fans who waited seven years to see what Naughty Dog could create. And after all the false-flagging and taking down of YouTube channels, videos, and Twitter pages? This is what Naughty Dog deserves. I’m sorry Ellie, but everything you’ve been through, it reall was all for nothing. Save your time, and tor money. 1/5 — 2/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра невероятно скучная и унылая. Геймплей остался в 2013 и практически никак не развился. Сюжет отвратительный, вся магия первой части игры испаряется просто в никуда, и в конце концов у нас тупое унылое овно про месть. Подачи сюжета рваная и огромное количество моментов происходит аля "вот это совпадение". Новые персонажи неинтересные и не получают какого-либо развития, большинство просто сливают под конец, и это вызывает только одну реакцию - п@хуй. Вторая часть игры за Эбби вообще бред сивой кобылы. И финал... Отвратительно.
    Плюс всё это обильно приправлено повесткой. Можете глянуть видос "The NaughtyDog Agenda" и поймете, почему это важно. Если конечно по английски шпрехаете.

    Yeah I recently played the DLC for part 1, what a shame. It is just a political correct story, play the first one and compare it with this part 2, play it, and don't take only my comment as absolute, but probably most of you are going to agree that it was made only from the idea everyone should be like new society demands, just no.

Killing off a previous main character like a random dude, imagine if after great mass effect 2 ending at the start of Mass effect 3 shepard would be killed in the first 15 mins. Then you would play as a character that killed shepard. its a **** story telling who on earth though it would be a great idea.
    Also in the end ellie let go abby because??? killing its bad??? after she killed hundreds of ppl and even pregnant women but when she fighted a abby she like "oh ye killing its bad, you can go" ????
    + its getting annoying for hours crawl and cut ppl throats with same animation over and over so boring.How Critics could even give this game 10/10 they either got paid or did it for favor points digusting.    … Expand

    All that is good about this game is the graphics. The gameplay is clunky and slow the jump doesn't work half the time and the story is quite frankly horrendous! I tried so hard to avoid all leaks but now I wish I had seen them so I didn't waste my money. This has ruined the most beloved franchise that playstation/Sony had. Wow just wow

    The characters were all over they place and the creator truly disrespects what came before. It doesn’t even wrap up in a satisfying way. The overall theme was too bland and extremely predictable.

    Tedious, Boring, Uninspiring gameplay
    An overall dissapointing and depressing experience
    If you enjoy yawning profusely and experiencing anxiety this is your game. If you appreciate thoughtful, exciting, story driven gameplay. Avoid this like the plague.
    Would not recommend. Good graphics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm actually so mad and malding when I'm typing this and I created an account just for this. Below content contains spoilers.
    This is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous and painful to even hear about tbh, left alone to actually play it, I mean even Ellie in the first game knew to stay vigilant and defensive in the first encounter with David. How dare Naught Dog just gave my old man Joel such an undignified death??
    This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I can still remember the goods days with the first game a few years ago back when I was in highschool and after all these year of waiting my man was killed by a witless woman in the first few hours into the game. No matter what the background story of that woman is, I simply DO NOT CARE ANYMORE. The only regret is I wasn't able to kill EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the hospital building back in the ending of the last game.
    Besides not even giving the option to avenge Joel is like John Wick lets the brat who killed his dog live after all the pursuit and battlescar he suffered which makes completely NO sense.

    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]
