    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is full of unreasonable things.

    Full of political correct in end of civilization.

    Joel died like a fool, brutally killed by one who he just saved.

    Asian lives do not matter.

    Abby killed Joel without hesitation, though she was just saved by him. While Abby killed all her partners, friends, brothers and sisters in another similar situation.

    As long as you forgive someone killed your father and your wife brutally, despite you have killed hundreds of innocent people including pregnant woman for revenge, you are still a good girl with shining heart.

    There are more disgusting messages in the story.

    Terrible and horrible.

    While media still attacking players who give a 0 score, saying they have never bought and played the game. They avoid to talk about the story, except for IGN Japan.

    It does not make sense to defend the story like that, I mean, people don't need to eat **** to know it's ****.

    I give a 10 score for the quality of the game, including music, control, graphic and others. -10 score for the story, which is the soul of this game. 10 - 10 = 0.

    Disappointed. Be careful before buying any game directed by Neil.    … Expand

    No compres este juego, la primera hora es insufrible, nos quieren meter idead en la cabeza con calzador. La venganza de Ely esta mal justificada. Matar al personaje principal del primer juego es el segundo gran error y el final, es el final mas estupido que te puedas imaginar.
    NO LO COPRES, NO GASTES TU DINERO POR GUSTO.

    The gameplay is very similar to the first game with added in extras, but they really just didn't write the story well. They did the complete opposite of what the first game did. They decided to gut every character and just make them so 1 dimensional that it was a snooze. They make you go through so many people just to give up in the end. They might as well just turn TLOU 2 into a Half Life 3

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Puntuar este juego con un 0 es absurdo simplemente por que maten al personaje principal. El juego argumentalmente tiene otros errores: la deshumanización de Ellie y la hypersexualizacion innecesaria de varios personajes creando más una declaración de intenciones que un contexto en el juego (para mi su mayor error)

    Mucha gente critica a Abby, personalmente me ha parecido más interesante el personaje de Abby que el de Ellie en este juego. Ellie está cegada con su objetivo y prácticamente en eso se reduce su hilo argumental. Ese es otro de sus errores, destrozar argumental e intencionalmente a Ellie.

    Como juego hay cierta falta de evolución y es igual que el primero

    Gráficamente es un 10

This is far from the only title your missing out on. Second, those upset over Ellie being a lesbian its clear you are lonely and miserable exhibiting rage over a fictional characters sexual preference...its sad, pathetic really. Keep in mind it is you who are the snowflakes. I'd like to thank Naughty Dog for a game which they clearly put their all into it. I'm only 9 hours in but felt compelled to put a review in due to the nonsense here on metacritic which is a display of ignorance. The graphics, story, dialogue, music and gameplay are exceptional and improve on what was excellence in the first game. The characters communicate throughout giving a better sense of who they are and where they've come from. Anybody who played the first and enjoyed it surely will love this game...of course that's said if your manhood isn't affected by the lesbian presence which is not at all shoved down the players throat as I've read in some of these small people's reviews. A narrow mind is laughable and also explains why many on here are lonely and probably miserable. I'm stunned in 2020 that you all made this "political", but I'm not surprised. Anyway... this game is phenomenal and to buy into a snowflake narrative would be your loss if these opinions do in fact dissuade you from purchasing this game. Character development is top notch..and humanity is on display moreso than part 1. The story can be ugly, but aren't we. It is what people are and if you can't handle the brutality and emotion its not a title for you. The environments are steps above the original and the music sets the tone. Reactions in characters us the best gaming has to offer...as is the dialogue which is to say well written. Only 9 hours in and yeah, this is your game of the year. Thanks again Naughty Dog fir attention to detail in the form of broken glass crunching under Ellie's feet and setting the atmosphere with the proper gloom. I'm 100% satisfied. And Metacritic please get this problem fixed...these user scores are a joke.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Woke culture & Gender identity has penetrated the gaming world.
    Part 1 was a success & well writeen but a big fail for Part 2 which was highly anticipated.
    Gameplay still very good as previously but story is very poorly written, I understand that some teenagers might speak with a swear word here & there but this is non-stop, I'm not offended in the least but just didn't expect such a basic uneducated poorly written dialogue, it feels like this was written by a 16 year old even though most speak better then Ellie with less f*ck words.
    Then comes killing off Joel at an early start within the story when he is the father figure for the lead character & introducing some bizarre uninteresting characters.
    Creativity in this game got very poor within the story & lack of engaging dialogue & goals.
    And we have then identity politics being played in this game, I don't have a problem with the character being gay, but what I have a problem is the physical alteration of Ellie to become more man-ish, lack of build up story in regards to her sex orientation & introducing a new character called Abby which looks like a Transsexual (which again got no problem) but the game wasn't about sex & their orientation (any sex scenes from TLOU part 1??) & was about the 2 characters Ellie & Joel.
    Also most of the side story is all in dozens of little write up notes found along the game, way too many in fact & very repetitive.
    So in summary, gameplay still very good & deeply enjoyable but when it comes to dialogue I instantly feel the need to skip ahead (even though I didn't).
    Very poor attempt at Part 2 & destroying the franchise.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this is my genuine opinion about the game
    this game unfortunately is a big disappointment after 7 years of waiting part 2 was released to a franchise that didn't need a sequal however this cash grab was a giagantic failure because of these reasons:
    cons:

    1. character introduction they added like 20 new characters gave you no back story on most of them you have no attachments to them and they feel like throw away people used to show how quickly and dry people can die like Jessy dies randomly for no reason but to shock you however you have no attachment to him so his death is meaningless this also shows with dina as she is just there sometimes while exploring bringing up random stuff like how her sister took her too a church and then goes on about the holocaust when no one brings it up

    2.every male character is belittled as a psycho or killed leaving only tommy left bearly alive. not to mention that abby is built like a bulking lower end body builder and is completely unrealistic as a 7 year male lifter is bearly bigger than her and she managed to get that big in 4 years unless she was taking a crazy amount of estrogen blockers but even then she would only be on the same level of a man and would at least take 14 years to get to that level not to mention the proper nutrition that she is probably not getting considering yunno its the APOCALYPSE!!! the male characters are instantly misdemeanour'd as soon as this journey begins when the 'bigot sandwich' is delivered this just show the demographic is rousty teens and she don't need no man kinda people and the male cucks that go along with it and it is always cringey when big company's try to act progressive

    3. the order of events is messed up they should have explained why abby wanted to kill joel instead telling it way after this would have contrasted emotions

    4. they should've killed joel appropriately and for reference it should have been that farther figure death like in the walking dead games where lee dies protecting clem and you can choose whether to kill him or let him turn not some heman jacked up on an incredible amount of steroids killing him slowly with a golf club

    5.the game-play is just a RTX version of the last of us remaster and doesn't look any better than just red dead redemption 2 with better level design

    6.ending is dogcrap and whoever came up with that should have been executed immediately the writers are literally retarded hire some professional writers if u don't know how an ending works

    pros:

    1.good music

    2. one flash back of ellie's birthday with joel (depicts well the first game and is so good and should have developed on it with the progression of joel lost his daughter then finds what he lost with ellie and that is what make the game good in the first place)

    3.the 2 characters lev and Yara were the only well developed characters in the whole game

    4.looks good however not as good as some games however keeps to the standed of 2020 graphics

    conclusion: waste of $60 and the person who leaked this game is a god who saved a lot of people money not including me as i wanted to be unbiased and hadn't seen them and the game journalists are just saying it is good because how well received the first game was and was considered the best game ever made therefore they didn't want to go against the mob they thought would be therefore they were dishonest to cater to the accomplishments of the game before.

    therefore to me this is not cannon and i will remember the first game and try to forget this nightmare    … Expand

    In general, TLOU2 is exactly what you expect gameplay wise. This is not necessarily bad as the first one was an almost perfect game in the first place.

    Coming up to the story, it will, for sure, divide the fan base but in my eyes, the choices they made really help connect you with the main characters and understand their feelings and motivations.

Just the sheer disrespect this game and developers have for its predecessor is appalling It's like they removed everything good about the first game that fans loved, including beloved characters and a dark world that still had hope and said no, F that, here's some wanton violence and violence for pure shock value. It means nothing to the story, where as TLOU was like a tunnel with a light at the end, TLOU part 2 is like you are stuck in an underground cave in and will never see light again. It's bleak and grim with no redeeming values and things happen with little respect to characters long standing personalities which are completely changed for plot convenience. It's like this game serves as nothing but a vessel to destroy those characters that fans love. Why? Why would ND do this to their fans? The gameplay was decent, not very innovative from the last game, and the graphics are a plus. But good graphics with such a poorly written, sickening story is not much of a benefit. Not to mention the player is forced to do countless awful things to get their vengeance, then the game denies even that and tries to scold the player for it, even though the game forced you onto that path. I know there are many fans like myself heart broken (and not in a good way) about what ND did here and I know I'm not the only one to think TLOU part II doesn't exist in my mind. What a disappointing end for us fans faithfully waiting for a (faithful) sequel for years, to say it fell short is an understatement. It's as if the developers went "hm, how can we really give the biggest F you to players?" everything they did callously intentional and knowingly against fans desires.

    RIP TLOU and ND credibility.    … Expand

    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]
