    Terrible game , the whole plot is about a message that has nothing to do with the game. Actually a huge waste of time , don’t even consider buying the game let alone watching it on YouTube

    Game was so disappointing. Played the entire game. Story was spiteful and unfulfilled. Best character was cut short within 2 hours. There were flashbacks with Joel to show how good this game could of been. I hate that they ruined one of my favorite games of all time. I understand what they were trying to do. There’s no way this game deserved a 10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was so excited for this game, even with all the leaks; but I managed to ignore the leaks.... i wish I hadn't. I would have saved eighty bucks and a load of disappointment. Unlike the first game, this one made very little sense. I have no complaints about the gameplay; it built on the first one very well. I loved the parts with Ellie, Joel, Dina, Jesse.... but aside from that? Everything was a dumpster fire. Let's starts with the big one: Joel's death. I was not surprised by his death or upset about the gore, even though I questioned the logic of having Joel, a man who can sense an ambush from a mile away, mindlessly falling into Abby's simple minded trap. But I can live with that; no, what I don't understand is the structure of this. They try to make us hate Abby by having her brutally kill Joel, they have Ellie slaughter hundreds of people to get our revenge, and then....not take her revenge because of a brief memory of Joel? If they wanted us to want to forgo revenge, they had to do better than that.

    And then after making us hate Abby, they try to make us sympathetic by forcing us to play as her and making hamfisted attempts to get us to sympathize with her. Sorry, Abby, I don't care that your dad is dead, because the game didn't me care about him! I don't care that you lost him because I don't care about you. If they wanted this narrative to be successful, the structure should have been overhauled-- things should have started from Abby's perspective so we grew to love and sympathize with her loss and plight. We should have had with her at the beginning, a taste of what we had in the first tlou with Ellie and Joel. But she has no development, and we're expected to feel terrible for her. Sorry, I don't. There's no bond between Abby and the player, and over the course of her narrative, all you can think of is how **** forced everything feels, and how desperate naughty dog is to get you to like her, like an ugly guy at prom. They give her cooler weapons , they make her nice to dogs, they make you watch a yak-inducing sex scene, they make her basically be Joel with less self awareness and endless amounts of unacknowledged hypocrisy. They make Ellie out of character so that you sympathize with her less--insulting Dina and calling her a burden--kicking a dog's corpse and saying 'stupid dogs'. The first reaction I can understand because of stress, but the second? What the **** were you thinking, ND? She straight up wouldn't do that, and your attempts to villainous her are idiotic.

    This game gets a 1 instead of a zero because I loved the gameplay....but I'm so unbelievably disappointed i waited seven years for this nonsensical narrative.    … Expand

Although he isn’t a hero but still hard to kill him. I don’t think that it is make any sense he been kill so easily. The last of us should be a story about Joel and Ellie. What they walk though together. Their choices and humanity. If you want to change the main character. Please, have us some signal and story to support the change. I don’t want to say any things about the politics or discrimination in this game. I am sure lot of person say it already.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horrible game!
    Pros:
    -Great graphics.
    -Great Gameplay, much like the last game.
    -Music is good.

    Cons:
    -The story is awful! The story is forced and contorted in a way that makes it incompatible with the first game.

    -Character characteristics have devolved into personalities unlike the last game. It's almost like writers didn't even play the last game.

    -They kill the most loved main character near the beginning and in the most ridiculous and uncharacteristic way.

    -Inflrmation given from articles and interviews prior to release completely lied about the contents of the game, probably because the writer knew there would be push back.

    -You have to kill dogs. They even go as far as letting you play with the dog (as another character)before they make you kill it while playing as Ellie.

    -At times, it seems like they are trying to make you dislike Ellie, and make you like this added charater even though she kills Joel.

    I can't give the game a zero because there are elements of the game that are awesome. But I have to rate it with a one, because I waited 7 years for a game with a story that is unrecognizable from the last. If I was a teacher, I would have to give an F for not following the directions, but partial credit for trying. You made a small part of us die a little on the inside, Neil Druckman.    … Expand

    While the graphics and gameplay are great, shockingly great, the story is not. In fact its horrible. You also spend way to much time as Abbey a new character that they really want you to care about. It doesn't work. The storyline is just so terrible it almost makes you want to stop playing the game. Do not waste any money on this game. It's overall a beautiful looking piece of junk.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There’s cool aspects that really did make me feel something. Like I actually felt relieved that Ellie had that moment of realization and let Abby go. They both sought mindless revenge, they both had a chance to kill each other, and they both decided not to. In that sense, the symmetry of them both learning to let go and move on, is actually a really cool story dynamic and I enjoyed it. I even felt emotional seeing the Joel cutscenes during those parts where she remembers how she forgave him and now she’s learning to forgive someone who did something even worse. Great. Good. But it’s the execution that fails horribly. There are so many other ways to get that message across. Watching Pewdiepie play and hearing his reactions alongside my own, seeing the reactions in the comments, no one cares about these new characters either. No matter how much you try to make us like them, we’re not going to. At least not enough to make us enjoy beating the crap out of Ellie in a boss fight. Abby’s parts just dragged on and on with no end in sight. The brief moments of excitement only came when Tommy came and started killing her people off like he was John Wick. I never rooted for Abby ever.

    And what’s worse, I never wanted to root for Ellie either. They twisted her character into being a vengeful crazy person, who kills pregnant women out of spite. That’s not how me or any of the fanbase wants to view Ellie. But they make her do that crap so that you like Abby more, but it doesn’t work. Now you just hate them both, despite wanting to still like Ellie.

    And the end. OH BOY THE END. Ellie literally has NOTHING. Nobody. She is on her own. Why would any fans of the first game want to see her end up there? Naughty Dog, who was this game made for? Was it made for the fans or was it made for you to flaunt you high-minded 200 IQ lesson on morality and revenge? All fans wanted was another fun adventure with their favorite characters: Joel and Ellie. But instead, Joel goes golfing right at the beginning, and we see Ellie devolve into a vengeful psychopath only to be left alone by everyone she cares about, including Dina (who had no character development herself). And when she goes to play guitar (which usually triggers flashbacks and memories), she has no fingers left to play, forcing her to live only with this present reality, no way back to those memories. No new songs. In some ways, it’s more painful to watch than Joel. Why? Why would anyone think this was a good idea? Yeah it’s cool to see Ellie and Abby go through a similar arc and draw similar conclusions, but it’s not like Abby lost everything. She still at least has Lev and group of 200 fireflies waiting for her to arrive. Ellie gets left with squat. Zip. Nada. So why does the character everyone hates (but is forced to love) ger hope for the future while Ellie and Joel get handed straight poop?

    I appreciate the creativity and risk taking. I appreciate the gameplay and action. I even appreciate the symmetrical nature of the story in some ways. But I don’t like watching torture porn of beloved characters and being told by elitist critics that I’m only mad bc homophobia. The positives don’t raise my review above a 1 because while the gameplay and all that is great, the usual incentive for overcoming those levels is to advance the story. And if you’re bored with the story, then the levels and obstacles feel more like a chore than anything else. 1/10 from me.    … Expand

    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.
