    Everything about this game is good. But the story is awful. First Joel's death should been in the middle of the game instead the first 2 hours of it. Second Joel's death is meaningless because ellie doesn't kill abby at the end. So Joel died for nothing. Third you have to play as Abby who just killed Joel so **** that. Lastly **** naughty dog.

    The story of part 1 is so epic. It has become my favorite game of all time. I played it so many times on different difficulties. And I couldnt wait for the moment to play part 2.
    And now I cant even tell how disappointed I am. The story of part 2 is so horrible. Abby is a horrible char. Naughty Dog you destroyed your own legend!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joel was a good man, a single father who did his best to take care of his daughter. When the world ended, he tried to escape with it, but a military barrier ended that hope. He became a bitter, violent man and lost all reason to live.
    One day he receives a mission, escorting a girl to the Fireflies. Reluctantly he accepts and, to his surprise, begins to develop feelings for the girl. It keeps you alive and safe all the way, no matter what needs to be done. In the end he discovers that fate would once again take his girl, he does not agree and sacrifices the whole of humanity to save the girl, he then lives with the burden of being responsible for having taken - perhaps - the only way to salvation of the world.
    He knows that when she finds out, she will be furious with him, yet she doesn't regret what she did and moves on, with the weight of all these and future deaths on her back.
    Joel - years later - is brutally murdered by Abby, daughter of the doctor who would kill Ellie on the operating table, a clear violation of the Hippocratic oath he once took. That man THREATENS him with a scalpel and stands between him and his daughter. That man made his choice, he could have just run out of the room, he kills that man.
    Joel dies without regrets, he would do it all over again.
    Then it is time for Ellie to avenge her father, whose sin that led him to die was to have saved his life in the past. Ellie can't do this, she can't stand to live with her hands full of blood and lets her father's murderer get away with it, to live contentedly with the revenge she did. The only person she really needs to kill, that she had reason to hate and kill - not just survive - she lets out, out of weakness. Ellie doesn't deserve Joel's love.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The whole plot, and Joel's death being the spotlight of it, was just a huge shock value **** show, in which tragic events take place to our beloved heroes of the previous game just so can feel shocked and sad. Very cheap way to attract emotion. If you are fan of the original The Last Of Us, do yourself a favor and never buy this game. Matter of fact, delete it from your memory. It is just not worth it.… Expand

    The only positive thing about this game is the visual (that's why I give 1 point), but other than that poor storytelling, completely illogical character choices, way too PC and probably the worst ending in videogame history. Up until this game I've been a huge Naughty Dog fan (platinumed all previous games) but now I'm just sad, disappointed, and empty...

    The last of us was how I first got into video games. I've been waiting seven years to feel that way again. Then I discover that the writers actually butchered part 2. The storyline is predictable, not unique, and is massively hypocritical in terms of the so called 'message'. The filler content is very boring. They did an awful job, what a waste of money and a massive disservice to the fans.

    The game retcons an important plot point from the first last of us to create the antagonist. They do not do right by Joel, Ellie, and Tommy... they totally ruined those characters personalities, traits, skills, and tendencies.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know where i should start:
    -The first game was awesome for it's time , a nice father-daughter story in the middle of an apocalypse trying yo survive and make allies. Even the Prequel DLC had a good story too, everyone loved those campaigns still to this day.

    So... what's the problem with this "sequel" ?
    The first minutes are good and shows us how the protagonists re living after the first game but in a couple of hours.... boom
    They kill the most beloved character of the franchise, because of a "girl"? Who wanted revenge against him for killing his father in the first game.

    So the game make us want to take revenge against that girl and his crew and we do.
    We kill almost every friend of her as she kills some of out allies too, and in the end...
    WE FORGIVE HER ??!!!
    I don't know who exactly was the dumbass who write this ending (actually i think we all do) but .You makes take revenge against all of her friends just to make us forgive Her for killing Ellie's father figure ?
    That's the most stupid plot i've ever seen .
    If you're gonna make a revenge story then we should, idk....
    ACTUALLY TAKE REVENGE

    Also , the journalists try to defend this game with one single argument: " If you don't like the game then you are all homophobic "
    Seriously People ?
    The game has GOOD graphics and GOOD music.
    But come on , The Story ending it's Stupid

    Take as Example for a Revenge story the Destiny 2 Forsaken plot:
    They kill a beloved friend of ours and we swear to take revenge with our hands. So we go and kill The Barons( The ones who helped the antagonist to kill that friend ) , then in the end our character and an ally are in front of him about to kill him , but he asks
    " The light between light and dark is so thin, which side are you on ? "
    That makes our character doubt but we stil point at him with our gun , in the end , the screen goes black and we hear a gunshot.

    We don't know if we did kill him or our ally did, but we know he is now dead , and that gives us a relief completing our Revenge Crusade , we later have to deal with the consequences of killing him but it's still a good plot.

    I don't know why ND had to make such an bad ending. It could 've been a good game ...
    So sad ended this way

    PD : Was that s3x scene so necesary for the plot of the game ?
    So sony doesn't allow anime tiddies but allows this kind of scene ? WTF is wrong with them ?    … Expand

I am offended by the fact that they made an agit poster with good-by-you-know ideas from the good characters initially. I'm silent about Abby.
    The plot is bad and without propaganda motives, because there was nothing alive and interesting in it. The plot of the first part was also quite trivial, but they managed to make an interesting game out of it by revealing the relationships and empathy of the main characters. Who, by mercy, tell me to empathize with me here? After the ending of the first part, I thought that the game would continue the already strained relationship of Ally and Joel after he deceived her, but no. Eat Abby with all her muscles. And again, the plot at the Assassins Creed level is revenge, murder, aaaaaaaa.
    I do not recommend either buying, or even thinking about buying at a discount. See the passage.    … 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.
