    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first game was great because the story was great. This one is has the worst story I've ever experienced in a video game. They killed off Joel early in the worst possible way. The game is filled with Identity politics witch seems to be the main focus of the game. Those who don't care for identity politics are going to hate this. Save your money. Don't buy… Expand

How can we skip Joel’s rampage and eventual path to safety??? And jump straight into playing damn snowball fights and a stupid virtual guitar. Naughty Dog was gutted a few years ago, and we should’ve seen the writing on the wall then. Another potentially groundbreaking game ruined by feelings… Expand

    Joel just die?
    Wtf
    Joel was a really good character
    The other characters were bad
    And it is because they are bad
    Not because they are LGBT
    Terrible plot
    Second game was better than that

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played for a god 13 hours of the game I cant play this game any longer . the visuals are near perfect. The game has an amazing atmosphere. The biggest problem I have with the game is the story of the game. First with Joel's death happening after only the first 2 hours of the game by a character you play with through the game along side ellie. Everytime I played with abbie it makes me feel like turning off the game and never playing this game again. The story for this game is trash. If I had a chance for a refund I would definitely get one and not support naughtydog and specially neil druckman for making disasterpeice of a game. Dont buy this game… Expand

    I registered an account in Metacritic just to leave this review. I can't believe I waited 6 years and avoided all spoilers to play this game. Other than visual improvement, the story itself is bad from beginning to end. Game is disturbing and tedious. Pace is slow and lengthy. Not worth the time and money. AVOID AT ALL COST.

    I've spent a lot of time contemplating a review of this particular game. I don't usually review games in general on any forum - thus this being my first Metacritic review - some will claim "review bomb" but this is not the case, please hear me out.

    The first installment of this game was a masterpiece, it featured lovable characters that many people (including myself) became attached to, just as in other games like Tomb Raider, but with the added emotional character attachment that oft doesn't develop, or at least not on such a deep level in video games. Along with the great narrative and exciting adventure that made TLoU so great.

    When I heard ND was making a TLoU2 I was excited to continue this adventure with the beloved characters I had become emotionally attached to, however this game took a turn for the worse early in my playthrough as the series' main protagonist fate was revealed.

    I wasn't a fan of the new characters, and it certainly wasn't what I thought I would be playing when I pre-ordered The Last of Us 2. As I was playing through I often thought to myself that this should have been a new IP, maybe named "Vengeance" or something rather than marketing it as TLoU2, it seems kind of like a bait and switch to me. In addition the gratuitous violence was on a new level, I'm sure this was what ND was going for but I wasn't a fan of it.

    The game play was somewhat improved over the original while not being top notch, I was not unhappy with that aspect nor was I unhappy with the visuals or the environments as I prefer more linear games. The animations were top notch, however I did feel the game was too long, it could have been half the play-time and achieved the same end result. About half way through I was ready for the credits to roll.

    I can't help but feel as I stated before that this should have been a new IP, which I think would have had more positive reviews, but a TLoU game this is not thus the low review score.

    Here's my take:

    Graphics: 9/10 - very good
    Environment: 7/10 - very good
    Animations: 9/10 - top notch
    Mechanics: 5/10 - good enough for the type of game it is
    Narrative: 0/10 - not good, not TLoU
    Characters: 1/10 - I barely remember their names let alone like them, other than Ellie
    Play-time: 3/10 - too long
    Gore: 0/10 - excessive and unnecessary
    Marketing: 0/10 - misleading

    In conclusion I will just say this, I'm disappointed with the game and ND, you're better than this! And I look forward to more masterpieces like Uncharted, but I'll probably not be buying any more TLoU games in the future.    … Expand

    The Graphics are phenomenal. The Gameplay is alright, nothing absurdly bad there.Nothing amazing, but its serviceable.

    The story is the problem here. The ideas sound like they could be alright: Cycles of revenge are Bad, dealing with death of a loved one, actions have consequences, coming of age, etc. Lots of messages being sent here, which would be great if they were executed properly.

    Look, if you want to give this game a chance and were a fan of the first, please see one of those cinematics-only videos on youtube to see if you can stand the story first. That way you can get most of the "experience" that was intended, as the game was basically an interactive movie when it was interactive at all. If you liked it, buy it. If you didn't then don't and join the club.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us was always Joel and Ellie. You could take any two characters and throw them in that world, but that is not the last of us. The last of us was an emotionally intricate and complex story of heartbreak, love, courage, anger, happiness and more revolving around two people. It was a story where the writing and directing was so incredible that it caused the majority of us to connect to and to care for a set of video game characters like never before. We were on that journey with them the entire time, feeling the love, the anger, the heartbreak, the joy that they felt. It connected to me personally like no other video game ever has and still remains, for me, the greatest story in a video game ever....which is why the Last of Us Part 2 is such a disappointment to me. From a purely gaming perspective, this game is fantastic. The graphics are incredible, the game-play is brilliant, the animations are almost flawless. However, even all of these brilliant things about the last of us part 2 cant help me look past how poor and misguided the story is. I didn't play last of us 2 for the graphics. Sure they do help, but, and I'm sure many would agree, I was so hyped for, and played it for the story. I couldn't wait to jump back in after all these years, and after the first hour I was already worrying about where the game was heading. I don't agree with it, but I don't mind them wanting to kill off Joel. However, it was cheap. Instantly then and there in that mansion, the whole premise of the last of us died. An entire game without the relationship between Joel and Ellie which is even worse considering how it was advertised to us as if Joel was gonna be in the game for at least longer than the opening. But I accepted it and continued on under the assumption we were off to get revenge for how they brutally tortured and killed Joel, and in front of Ellie no less. However, half way through the game, when you've gone through the process of taking out the majority of the gang bar Abby, it is mind boggling to me how we are forced to play as her. This woman who brutally murdered Joel and then shot and killed Jesse, whose death was also cheap, right in front of us too. We are now forced to play through her childhood and then play with her and her gang who killed Joel through all 3 days in Seattle and I just couldn't be bothered at this stage. I don't care about Abby. I don't care about her life. I don't care that Joel killed her father. You had this person murder one of the most beloved characters in video game history, 1/2 of the last of us, and then we are forced to play as her, while the writing forces us to try to empathize or connect to this character in some way which is impossible because of what she did. It only gets worse then as, after playing Abby's never ending half of the game, you are forced to fight Ellie while playing as Abby. Then when you think its all over, it reels you back in as Ellie decides she cant let it go and heads to California to find her. Then once you do, after she brutally killed our favorite dad Joel, and after she murdered Jesse, and after she bites 2 of your fingers off, you let her go instead of killing her rendering the whole plot of this game, which was effectively justice for Joel, pointless. This whole story is ridiculous and completely misses the point of why so many of us fell in love with the first last of us, not to mention how inconsistent it is regarding how returning characters think and act based on the first game. The second half of the game in particular baffles me. Playing as Abby just bored and annoyed me as I couldn't care less about her and in no way was I ever going to connect to this random character I was forced to play as who was thrown in to this game to kill Joel. This game just felt like a massive middle finger to fans of the original game. Roughly 20 hours it took me to complete my playthrough and I stopped caring about the game as soon as it hit Abby's part. It is massively upsetting that I waited so many years for a sequel and this tone deaf monstrosity of a story is the best they could come up with. They took everything that made us love the last of us out, and, while I enjoyed playing as Ellie once again for her part of the game, I refuse to accept this as a sequel to the Last of Us. If this was the garbage that Neil Druckmann and his team were going to provide us after 7 years of waiting, I would've preferred if they had not bothered with a sequel and just left us with the masterpiece that was The Last of Us. I think a lot of people who liked the game and are claiming people are just 'review bombing' it for the sake of it and 'love complaining' are missing the point completely. If you take this game as a completely separate standalone with nothing to do with the last of us then yeah, it's a great game. But this was supposed to be a sequel to the Last of Us, the continuation of Joel and Ellie's story but that's not what we got. They failed to deliver.… Expand

    The game story sucks, every new character is pointless.

Хотя я зачем-то отыграл 10 часов(да, сейчас прибегут фанатики и скажут что я просто не прошел до конца). Геймплей не претерпел никаких изменений с 1 части, но это неплохо. Графика приятная, но неболее, невероятного некстгена нет. Но вот сюжет, отношение между героями, посыл - это плевок в душу первой части и всему разумному. Не хочется спойлерить, тем более многие и так знают концовку благодаря слитым данным и прохождению игры на ютубе, так что попробую расписать избегая конкретики. Не смогли придумать нормальной завязки, потому выбрали ту, которая самосвалом проезжает по концовке первой части. Она ломает всё хорошее что было в оригинале и дает историю уровня би-муви, при этом невероятно претенциозный, но донельзя очевидный. Мстить плохо, ууу. Надо прощать, ууу. Зло умножает зло, ууу. Задумайся, игрок! Если тебя хотят убить, не нужно защищаться и убивать, потому что этим ты сделаешь больно кому-то! Для этого посыла создатели выкручивают на максимум количество бессмысленного насилия и оставляют его не где-то за кадром, как принято в более-менее приличных продуктах, а по максимуму суют игроку в лицо. Смотри, человека долго и упорно избивают, тебе нравится? Нравится? А ты не только любишь насилие, ты еще шовинист! Расист! Не терпишь ЛГБТ! Уххх, плохой! Но ты прости всех и всё придёт в порядок. Надеюсь что игра провалится в продажах и это будет достойным урокам тем, кто лепит столь явные идеалогические поделки. 1 балл только за хорошие флешбеки, напоминающие какую хорошую игру можно было бы сделать.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been waiting this game with great anticipation. I even bought the remastered version of The Last of Us 1 to replay it in anticipation of this sequel release.

    I do not know why the writers have deemed it necessary to kill the main character from the previous game like he was not relevant anymore. I do not understand why characters who were deep and interesting are now single-layered and cliché. The only explanation is that it is a game made to look like a sequel but but made by entirely different people with no talent.

    I am sorry for the team who worked on this game. They obviously worked a lot to make it AAA. But a story-driven game with a **** story is as much a failure as a Hollywood blockbuster with a bad story and gawd awful characters would be. That's that simple.

    This could be said it is a John Carter level failure, but I actually enjoyed John Carter. It is a John Carter 2 level failure, the sequel where john gets tortured and killed in a dix minutes long agony scene and his killer becomes the main protagonist for half the game. John's friends, seeking revenge, finally corner him and eventually offer him a beer and a hug.

    I have not finished it yet but I am not really enjoying the story anymore as it is simply too far away from my personal reality which means: I simply can't relate and don't even want to. Providing a basis for a very questionable woke ideology seems more important than good story-telling. So: Was it really necessary? Holy **** . Thank you Naughtydog for this piece of garbage.

    Sigh...
    Here we go, first of, I would want to start with the things I find positive about this game. For this generation, the game graphical performance is insane. The realistic approach for the art style, the intention to detail of the game level and environment, the facial and movement animation, all of that blow my mind away and I can not wait to see this game performance on the PS5    Sigh...
    Here we go, first of, I would want to start with the things I find positive about this game. For this generation, the game graphical performance is insane. The realistic approach for the art style, the intention to detail of the game level and environment, the facial and movement animation, all of that blow my mind away and I can not wait to see this game performance on the PS5 later.

    Unfortunately for me, that was it. Other aspect of the game really make me want to put the controller down. The first installment of the game was heavily relies on its story as its main drive. I don't know about others but I was enjoying the cut scenes more than the gameplay. For this second installment, the gameplay is basically the same as before, the stealth mechanism still not really thought out, multiple unnecessary violence, an uncomfortable sex scene, etc. Every time I encounter an enemy, it just does not feel as good, the gameplay sometimes can feel like a chore that I particularly hate to do but was forced to do so. I secretly wish I could skip it for the next cut scene.

    Even more what make me scratching my head in frustration is, the cut scenes in this installment does not have the same level of enjoyment as the previous one. The premises of the first installment that really hook me is the unlikely relationship that was build between Joel and Ellie, two very different person that was impossible to become such as they are at the end of the first game, if it was not for the situation that they were in. The father daughter relationship that was build on trust and unexpected love. The first game also leave us with the big question on the quest for the vaccine.

    The second game focusing on the wrong things, for me I always associates The Last Of Us as a story of Joel and Ellie, now Imagine that that you play Uncharted 2 but in the first two hour Nathan Drake was killed of by some random NPC and then you are force to play as the said NPC for 1/3 of the game so that you could 'understand' her reasoning while playing catch with some dogs. It could be a good stories if it was written properly with a proper build up, but there is nothing that could support the writer choice and reasoning for the story to unfold the way it did. After finishing it about 20 hours later, all I feel is the bitterness that lingering in my mouth, there was no hope or expectation or even desired to know more about what will coming next like the first installment left me.

    You know what make me more uncomfortable, Naughty Dogs actually know what we, fans of the first installment want, but we only getting to peek at it through a series of flashback cut scenes rather to actually experiences it. But instead we are force to play as some unknown character and experience her pain.

    This is undoubtedly my biggest disappointment in a video game that I have been expecting for almost half a decade. The game will obviously make its millions and will always reminds me that video games and its industry will always be business first, and Naughty Dogs that has set it foot as one of the most beloved game studio since last decades, has fall from its grace.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я прошёл игру и теперь могу поделиться своими впечатлениями (разочарованиями). Знаете какие два урока я вынес из второй части TLoU 2? Первый: глупость - корень всех проблем человечества. Второй: дела нужно доводить до конца. И никакого «насилие порождает ещё больше насилия». Вообще не так. Все проблемы героев исходят строго из того, что они становятся добренькими в тех ситуациях, где этого делать КАТЕГОРИЧЕСКИ не следует, да ещё и в совокупности с невероятной человеческой глупостью. И это я ещё не упомянул о множестве других проблем игры: не упомянул я о куче логических несостыковок, о персонажах добавленных только ради повестки, и ситуациях с ними связанных, о жестокости ради жестокости и так далее. Наконец чтобы проникнуться злодеем, я должен ему сопереживать. А как я могу сопереживать дезертиру, убивающему своих бывших товарищей, ради людей, которые мало того, что спасли ее случайно, так ещё и она в первые же секунды расплатилась с ними сполна. Не говоря уже о том, что она убила самого любимого персонажа первой части. В общем той концовки, что ей дали сценаристы она явно не заслуживала. Единственное за что хочется похвалить игру - графика и локации. Вот они потрясающие. За это игре 2 балла, а не ноль.… Expand

The cool & interesting hero is not the protagonist anymore and is literally gone after a few hours and the "more" is actually something, that games and art generally should have less of...

    And that is pandering, virtue signalling and an agenda-driven intention, to push ideologies. Don't get me wrong, an artist generally can of course use art as a way to express the personality, feelings or to sent a message, in my opinion – that is totally welcome and interesting for a reflective recipient, no matter if agreeing with the artist or not. But in this case, an form of art is MISUSED to PUSH their own viewings and ideas on others drastically... And as a gamer since the 80s, that is something I want, can, should and must not tolerate. So, I raise my voice as a real GAMER via this platform and say NO to The Last of Us Part II.

    Out of a quite well-narrated grim action game with emotional moments for mature players, they made a dull teenager walking simulator drama infected with identity politics.

    I am afraid of what they might do to Nathan in the future, if they decide to carry on with the Uncharted Franchise. I mean, he is a cool, masculine straight white male, right? And that is something, that does not fit their agenda at all... but hairy arm pits, folks, hairy arm pits on females do. Apparently.

    Hope that Naughty Dog will soon announce: "THE LAST GAME OF US".

    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]
