    The plot is a total joke. Had I wanted to purposely ruin a franchise I wouldn't have done it any better. In the first game we had powerful development of dynamics between Joel and Ellie, development that led to choices and decisions Joel had to make in the finale of the first game, the second part is basically a tactical survival shooter without any likeable characters, without inter-characters dynamics etc.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is extremely poor compared to the first part. It would make more sense if Ellie and Abby would turn out to be sisters. -if of course they could find a way to connect the dr. as their father which was killed by Joel- but it would be justifiable for why Ellie just couldn't kill Abby at the end. But instead we get a sequel that makes no sense other than annoy it's fans story-wise and completely ignore customer expectations. You build a single game to sell, but if you build a universe and want it to be consistent you should be listening to your customer-base and not bash them with extremely irrational and childish responses on social media or try to cut them off to react the way they want with their opinions.… Expand

    Absolute disappointment. Druckmann is a bad screenwriter. The Last of Us 1 was a coincidence.

    The last of us part 2 has been rated for its gameplay and not its story. So i will rate the story instead of the gameplay. Some say its so bad it's good.

    They absolutely ruined the story - boring old mechanics and terrible writing. Hiding behind a veil of "Everyone that hates it is a bigot" really brings to light the fact that these companies are using the LGBTQ community (That I am a part of) as their own personal shield to avoid any criticism.

    I don't care about the political nonsense that's going on right now, but still I don't wanna waste one more second thinking about his forced drama piece of trash.

    The Last of LGBT II - good story to kill series forever. Druckmann wanted to surprise us; he succeeded. The whole game was accompanied by a persistent sense of disgust and nausea.
    Gameplay+Graphic 6/10 like any other AAA class game...
    Music 8/10
    ALL the rest 0/10 :
    Fake characters - 100%
    Propaganda LGBT - 100%
    Trash story and manipulation - 100%
    True The Last of Us - 0%

    Как поклоннику первой части мне очень грустно смотреть во что превратилась часть вторая. Мне не нужна игра с повесткой и самовыражением моральных инвалидов. Эта игра не для меня.

    I don’t want to put any spoilers in the rating. The only thing I’d like to say about the game is: the first part is still among the best games I’ve ever played on PC, dendy, sega, ps 1,2 etc. My feelings for the first part are completely opposite to the feelings about the second part. I don’t really care about all this lesbian and transsexual stuff. I don’t like it, but who cares what II don’t want to put any spoilers in the rating.

I don’t really care about all this lesbian and transsexual stuff. I don’t like it, but who cares what I like or not? The motto of the game is: “Who cares what you like”. The success of the first part is explained by the narrative and relationship between main characters. The view on the problem of “lesser evil” and readiness to sucrifice what you love in favour of the rest the people. The second part proposes us the possibility that despite all hatred one can find strength to forgive the opponent. It may work but not in the way it was realized. I don’t care about graphics and I don’t really care about gameplay but I do care about plot and storytelling. Zero out of ten for spoiling one of the best games.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Took a great game and just tore it apart. Original would have been better off never having a sequel than getting this mess. Not to mention the ending.

    The big reason Abby exists is because Joel killed a no name character in the first game. Ellie is stopping the cycle of revenge by not killing Abby? She literally kills hundreds of people while just trying to get to her. It’s far too late for the moral high ground.

    The story as a whole feels like a big compilation of progressive inclusion. I get wanting to be inclusive, but it feels like they just had a checklist of people to include and taped some stuff together. If you’re going to do it, try to actually do it well.    … Expand

    This is not The Last of Us. It is “How Ellie’s doing” spin-off. Cheap drama with strong LGBTQ agenda. It was clear what and who they were aiming for.

After I had see the video where Joel is died, my decision is fallen to never buy this title , to even not spend 1 usd in such a bad game Why they did not let drake die after uncharted 1 ? Last of us 1 was a master piece , the relation between Ellie and Joel was so amazing and playing with Joel gives you such a authentic feeling of a father who see in Ellie the Alternative daughter which he lost A pity mr. Druckmann you destroyed emotions with this game , you replaced relation and emotion with brutally ., I wish more negative user feedbacks for this game .… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fisrt of all based on what Neil Druckmann said i am maybe a sexist and racist **** because i don't like the piece of **** he created. We're living in 2020 and people are still labeling other people when they criticise them! Good job Neil

    I can't believe that this crappy and messy game is the sequel of the beloved and masterpiece TLOU 1. I mean WTF is this game?? I didn't hear a single music/ST in the game. It's just nonsense slow guitar sounds that i heard at the cut-scenes!

    Do you remember the first scene in TLOU1? I literally cried when Joel's daughter died in his arms. I still watch the hospital scene where Joel carry Ellie and Fireflies are shooting at them! That Soundtrack. That atmosphere. That was the game fans were expecting for 7 years!! that bond between Joel and Ellie. I mean the story made sense. You knew what characters are going to do or say based on their personality. But in TLOU2 one second the 2 main characters want to murder everyone and a second later they show mercy and be like Nah!

    The gameplay is good. Not groundbreaking but it's really enjoyable. The graphics are so so so good. If i had to only rate the visuals and gameplay this game would've been 10/10. at it's worst it would be 9.5/10. The visual and gameplay designers did a great job for this game and everyone acknowledging this.

    But the story side of the game is awful. Nothing makes sense!!

    All in all this game is a waste of time for people who cared about the story of the first game or really liked the characters in the first game. specially Joel which was the main character of the first game. But if you just want to play a game and have fun and don't care about story or characters you'll probably enjoy this game.    … Expand

    Overproduced, over-hyped, badly-written garbage. The production is technically impressive but PAINFULLY BLAND.

    I want to erase this game from my mind. This is a unnecessary sequel that shouldn't exist. The first game had real purpose and was emotionally satisfying to play throughout. The cliffhanger ending left us to use our imagination and fill in the questions unanswered.

    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]
