This one doesn't completely drops the ball (It's bad cliched, out of character and just plain endless violence), and there is absolutely nothing redeeming about this game. It is just going from one level to another clearing out enemies. Also about the enemies, there is very less variety and absolutely no sense of development. And don't even get me started about the story. Should have probably checked the leaks before buying, but I thought that ND deserved to get a chance without any preconceived notions. Big mistake. Guys, save yourself the money and get P5R, which is the best game of the year or save of Cyberpunk 2077. And the guys who are giving this full rating are just vowed by the graphics and presentation, which to be fair is one of the bests of this generation (PS4). I don't own a PS4 pro but no doubt it looks better. But good graphics and presentation are not enough to make a game and I would rather watch a movie in that case. I would give this a 4 but the blatant disrespect to consumers (false advertising in the trailers) which I won't detail here to keep it spoiler free forces me to knock this down to zero.… Expand

    The game is betraying the "Gamer's Love" for its previous work.
    I'll never play this game again...

    The story lets us all down. this is a game that hits you over the head with their own very narrow world view as some kind of absolute when its really just sophomoric pablum.

I don't need stuff rubbed in my face. I don't need to be told i'm bad and the things I like are bad. I want a good game play experience with a solid GOOD story. this is just not it. this is shock value for the sake of it really and the big moral code that this dev thinks he has isn't all that. middle aged edgelord is edgy. we get it. what a bore.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is so poor, we spit on everything that was built during TLOU 1. Joel was a real T-800 during the first adventure, remember the ambush scene with the truck? That's Joel, a guy who doesn't fall into traps and doesn't trust anyone.
    And in TLOU 2, suddenly, after rescuing a stranger, he finds himself in a dark room with a dozen people armed, reveals his real name as if they were his buddies and gets shot. writing 0/10.
    And because above all TLOU is a game that has succeeded thanks to its story and characters, as well as a keen sense of detail, destroying this legacy because of some kind of nauseating anti-vengeance/non-violence moral forced down the throat is absolutely unacceptable. It doesn't matter if you put trans or gay people in the game, we don't care, but stop forcing your political agenda in games where it doesn't belong. Do you really think that in a situation where society is collapsing as a result of a virus that creates zombie fungus trans people would be a topic for discussion?
    - "you're gay, you're trans, you're both at the same time? I'm happy for you, now let's find some food to survive." That's what it should look like. It should never be the main topic of this **** story. Unfortunately, it is, with this stupid anti-trans cult (who gives a **** and these empty characters who are just there to act as a token so that everyone can feel represented. TLOU 2 never existed. naughty dog, die.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. THE GAME IS ABSOLUTE TRASH.
    Most of the spoilers are true btw and to top it all off now we know for sure that there is no point in trusting any game review channel like IGN.
    meme last of us 2 more like Grand Golf Simulator : oops some stupid ma'am killed the main character DLC includes revenge is bad.
    The game is the literal "Guys revenge is bad for u" book.
    Its honestly hard to beleive that the same company which made Uncharted 4 and TLOU can ruin their own stuff this **** bad. Uncharted 4 was without a doubt the most detailed game at least i have ever seen. The last of us is the only game till now which wasnt as story oriented like Detroit Become human or heavy rain but still made u dive deep into the characters.
    What does TLOU 2 does?
    Spoiler Alert!!
    It kills JOEL!
    Now let me ask u Naughty Dog.. Joel was the same guy who killed doezens of skilled Fireflies and saved Ellie. The same guy who u play for majority of the first game. the same guy player bonds with during the fist game. the same **** guy who kills Marlene (the only person other than Joel who Ellie trusted with her life)
    AND HE DOES ALL THAT TO SAVE ELLIE!
    SO the question here is
    ARE U **** KIDDING ME?
    U kill THAT legend with some new stupid character named ABBY! coz joel killed his/her dad?
    Do u have any idea how little that fact narrows it down. oh and more importantly joel did that to save ellie.
    oh and btw i forgot to tell u abby lives in the end becoz Ellie suddenly decides that she wants to become some kind of **** Angel and not kill our GOLF LEGEND.
    To make things even worse Naughty dog lied to us in the trailer and they probably did that coz they were like
    " Yeah uhh neil so we are gonna kill joel and turn ellie into a golf fan right?"
    neil : "Yeah why? oh and lets not forget how joel almost survived the wound in tlou1 , yeah make sure or golf legend is like trained at swinging golfs"
    "uh yeah listen i don't think fans are gonna like that?"
    neil : "uh don't worry we will buy all reviews fake the trailers by adding joel scenes which won't be in the actual game and and instead we will see our fav guy ASIANBOY666 and ummm i think i am forgetting something?"
    "calling fans homophobes?"
    neil: " oh yeah calling them homophobes and **** if they dont like it!"
    "how much should we price it at?"
    neil:"how much does a golf club cost?
    60 usd aprox if u wanna buy a ****ty one
    neil:"60 usd it is then!"
    Anyways Naughty dog u done **** up this time.
    i really really hope that u could have just been not this **** dumb, i mean its hard to beleive that these ppl could have made such a stupid story.
    But hey if u just wanna play the game for the fighting mech and are going to skip the cutscenes and act like a 5 yr old baby who plays just to see some gore
    then u r in luck have fun!    … Expand

The ending touched me greatly, and the lingering sensation lasted throughout the year when I saw the ending, and it even affected the people around me. Naturally, seeing the news of the sequel and the trailer of the work afterwards, I couldn't help but get excited. I waited for release with high expectations. But the sequel gave me a very big sadness. Because Joel died? No, I think so. Because of Ellie's violence? Of course not, considering the subject you guys are talking about. Because of the new character? There's a new character in the sequel, and what's bad about it? Then why am I in a bad mood? It's your attitude toward me who knows my previous work.… Expand

When I'm watching the last episode of game of thrones I was having a mental breakdown like the hell break lose I was sad and angry at the same time I was asking my self What happened to my beloved complex multi layer characters what happened to deep meaningful surprising rational storyline I can't believe what I have witnessed  with my eyes and This horrible feeling strike me today my beloved video game the characters that I loved so much over the years act so irrational the plot is antiqued and the gameplay stretched to 25 hour's and other characters is so tedious and boring as if they all end up dead u wouldn't care less The whole game gather around go from point a to point b And do it all over again Kill or bypass enemies and go to another location over and over again For Animations and visuals is top notch one the best in the industry but we don't play last of us for gameplay or geraphics we play it because we so attached to character and it's cruel world and beautiful well thought written story and deep humen relationships but the story here is horrendous Ellie keep making so many irrational decisions that makes my head hurts  she is so unbelievable selfish it feels like I'm watching game of thrones mother of dragon last season all over again Whole thing is so cringy and super clishe revenge story.  last of us 1 storyline was unique you see the beauty and ugliness in this world and character's interaction and decisions all makes sense but here in last of us 2 nothing makes sense and storyline are full of Holes and leave my questions in the air.
    conclusion: I'm not bios and I'm not following any company politics like many big reviewers are . the hype will not affect my judgment. for me last of us 1 is the best game I've ever played in my life so
    Because of previous game ((last of us and left behind)) last of us 2 is a huge game and huge drawback to the series and this game should not exist.    … Expand

    It plays like a PS3 game and the story is way worse than the original. Also, it destroyed all the built-up and characters from the previous game just to add new characters that are not memorable or even relevant to the story.

It made me lower my expectations lower than they have ever been and I was still disappointed. The plot is absolute garbage and that is no over exaggeration. A C grade revenge plot with utterly uninteresting characters.

    Abby is some angry chick who gets saved by Joel just for her to blow his leg off with a shotgun and then to club him to death with a golf club in the first 3 hours of gameplay. The rest of the game is a one-dimensional revenge plot that tried really hard to include some edge and depth but failed miserably.    … Expand

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.
