    Stressful to play through the game but I've just finished it. I don't understand why would anyone play a game that makes you mad the majority of the time. I mean we are trying to have fun to play video games right? This is not the right representation because unlike movies, you need to control certain characters and force you to play certain plotted acts...it's painful and it's not fun!

    The gameplay is good but not a big enough change to make it stand out. Graphics are great with a big jump from TLOU1. But the bad review from this comes down to the decisions made with the story. The decisions made destroyed what made the first game amazing and I believe the decisions made were not the right ones.

    İts very bad story and very bad gameplay.
    His story is not fluent, he constantly repeats himself. There is no clear world. The game does not really deserve the effort. Compared to the current time, you understand their evil

    Game sucks. Totally disrespectful to the legacy of the Ellie/Joel dynamic, and the developers made them way out of character. Graphics look good, but it takes more than good graphics to make a good game. All in all, a very unsatisfying, disappointing, and upsetting sequel to one of the best and most loved games on the ps4. Reminds me of the disappointment and frustration of Mass effect 3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I felt disappointed enough with this game to actually go and post a review online, which I dont think I've ever done before. Spoiler free part:
    The story was just a waste of time. The gameplay was solid, music, voice acting, graphics, etc. All superb, so please understand how bad the story had to be to get such hate. The first half of the game was fun, overall off to a great start. The problems arise half way through, when the terrible decisions come through. I'M GOING TO BE CLEAR, my dislike for this game has nothing to do with it's LGBTQ themes, I was actually excited to see how they would handle these in the storyline. My issue is with the story progression, and the characters.



    !!!!!!!!!!!! Spoilers !!!!!!!!!!!

    Abby is just an unlikable character. I knew Joel at some point was going to die and I knew the game would mostly be about Ellie which made sense, I was ok with that. I DIDNT know Joel would brutally killed by Abby in the first hour. Seems like we were promised a LITTLE more Joel than that, but ok, revenge quest starts early. It was fine for the first half...then, the switch. We actually have to play as Abby. The character we all hate for killing Joel. And we don't just play as her for a little, or in little bursts. you play almost an entire half of the game as her! And despite SOME cool scenes, you don't stop hating her. Playing as Abby was a "meh" experience at best. She's boring and the first impression of her is an irredeemable one. I can't count how many times I repeatedly let her die in game. A solid ending could have saved it all, but the ending was meh as well. Ellie spares Abby to end the cycle of violence, which is an odd place to draw the line after Ellie just spent three days stabbing, shooting, bludgeoning, dismembering, torturing, impaling, intentionally infecting, strangling, blowing up into actual pieces, and lighting on fire, what must have been 100 people at least. But Ellie travels all the way to Santa Barbara to... not kill someone.

    If all you care about is gameplay and graphics, this is a great game. If you like stories,, but you didn't play the first, its ok.

    But if you LOVED the first as much as I did, and loved the characters, and waited 7 years to see what happened to them, this game is heartbreaking. LOU was a masterpiece, 10/10. It deserved a 10/10 sequel and got a 4/10 AT BEST. Part 2 had all the makings of a great game DESTROYED by awful story choices which for a studio of this quality is inexcusable. Therefore, one star.

    The trailers led us to believe this would be the next chapter in Joel and Ellie's story, it wasn't. It was half a game about Ellie and half about someone we don't care about and don't like. We deserved a better story than this. This isn't what we were promised.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had such high hopes for this game. Despite all the bad reviews I wanted to give it a fair chance. Honestly, the only good parts of the game for me were a couple of the flashbacks and the mechanics. If we had the story of the original with the gameplay of this one, you’d have a 10/10 from me.

    The established characters do so many uncharacteristic things. From what I understand, Tommy has always been a stick to the plan type of guy since he left the Fireflies, but they send him out on an unplanned murderous rampage. That’s more of an Ellie trait, but this time Ellie is the one with at least a little bit of a plan. It’s like Naughty Dog just threw out everything we knew about the characters’ personalities and made up completely different people that happened to have the same names. The most disappointing part about all this is how misleading the trailers were. They straight up switched Joel out with Jesse in one of them. Maybe if they gave us the game we were shown then it wouldn’t have been so bad. Overall, if you care about the original game, don’t touch this one. But if you know nothing about the original and don’t care about the story, then you might like this one. I guess thank you Naughty Dog for teaching me to never preorder a game again.    … Expand

    What Naughty Dog has done to the plot of this franchise is abhorrent and borderline criminal. They care nothing for their fans, they only care for virtue signaling and being inclusive, which is tolerable if done right, but this couldn't be more wrong. I was disgusted to say the least, playing this game, never have I hated a protagonist (Abby) quite like this.

    Han convertido una obra maestra en una porquería políticamente correcta. Una historia totalmente minada a la fuerza de temas que no suman en el guión. Lo único que puede ser rescatado de esta edición es la banda sonora que es impecable.

    tbh i'm kind of glad i got the story spoiled for me, this way i didn't need to fork over $60 for this disappointment. i seriously don't know how they went from a original, heart wrenching and emotional story about saving mankind, to an "uh oh revenge bad" story killing off characters who's names you cant even remember for shock value.

    The first game was borderline perfect. 10/10

    This pile of garbage... it hurts reviewing it.

    This one has 2.4/10 for a reason. Don’t fall for the ‘woke’ bs. We all knew Ellie was bi if not gay from the DLC. Blaming the reviews on homosexuality or any other ‘non straight male’ excuse is poor.


    The gameplay sucks compared TLou1.The story decline even worse than the final season

    Incredible visuals and music can't make up for a complete lack of skill in writing. The story is unbelievable, full of plot holes, often depraved in failed attempts at adding shock factor and spits on the legacy of the original. A painful game to experience.

    It is further insult to injury that Naughty Dog used false advertising to sell the game to fans of the first.

    I was anticipating this game since a lot of time, and loved the first one, but even though the graphics are beautiful and the gameplay satisfying, the story is horribly written, with characters that are definitely forgettable, and some decisions that don't make any sense. I also don't like the fact that the developers try to hide behind the sexism and bigotry csrd

    Naughty Dog remind me the Diablo 3, after the 2 weeks of launch, none of my friends are playing it anymore, regardless of the patch later, and none of them buying any Blizzard game since then.    … Expand

    Nice system and top graphics, I would say. But the story, which is the core for this series, is just garbage. It did nothing more than make you uncomfortable by 'designing' the plot in the most ridiculous way.

    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]
