    The good music graphics open environment.
    The Bad
    Joels death the way it went down had he died to protect Ellie his death would of mean something. Hes a bad ass in the first one now naughty dog makes Joel look like a ****
    2nd Abby. The one who kills Joel we are forced to play ast he story and the expendable characters. Mel Owen Yara Danny and Jesse Abby and Ellie are both fighting to avenge loss. Abby her dad Ellie Joel.
    Playing as Abby after she kills Joel. What you6 thinking.
    Abby knows Ellie and tells her dad to kill Ellie for humanity's sake.
    Killing dogs and pregnant women. The storyis a tick for tack revenge garbage. Story filled with flashback fluff. Could of been 10 hours shorter At the end after killing all these people Ellie then realises its wrong the point of this game is there is no point.
    Abby and Ellie are both blinded by revenge that everyone's a causality.
    Ellies fighting for Joel Abby her dad.
    At the end she let Abby leave. So you come all that way for nothing to let Abby go. Ellie loses her fingers family and ability to play the guitar. Left with nothing but a guitar Joel gave her that she can't play.
    Also the wlf seraphites and rattlers were poorly introduced into rhe story just like rhe expendable characters that no one cares about.
    If naughty dog makes a LOUS 3 the only thing that would make sence is Abby and Ellie team up to get Ellie to the fireflies so she can sacrifice herself for all mankind. Revenge cost you everything.    … Expand

I have been a vigilant defender of professional game reviewers, finding them to be significantly more in-tune with what the population at large considers "good" and "bad" than the average film critic. I always thought that this had to do with the stigma surrounding gaming; there was never any clout to be had, no influence to be gained or used, no desire to cultivate a certain image, and no desire to be anything other than just a group of people enthusiastic about their chosen hobby/artistic medium. Have games become too big for that now? Are we now going to be subjected to the howling wilderness that is modern film criticism? In the past, I always used professional reviews/metacritic scores as the biggest part (along with my personal taste) of my decision in whether or not to buy a game because I found them to be mostly right on the nose (Demon's Souls was critically acclaimed at launch, well before it became a commercial success). I guess those days are coming to an end now.… Expand

Ok bro first u kill of damn joel, just like that, nothing honorable in that, I get it but how are you just going to kill a main character just like that, how u kill him, and afterwards tbh with you it started getting better, I though it was a 8/10, at least I thought, TILL I STARTED PLAYING AS ABBY, which I thought was maybe a 15 minute flashback but nooooooo A WHOLE HALF OF THE GAME WITH HER HELL NO! you think I want to play as Joel’s killer, THENNNN OHHH NO U MAKE ME PLAY AS HER AND FIGHT ELLIE OH HELL NO! THATS WHAT PISSED ME OFF! U think I want to control her and try to kill Ellie, I was rooting for Ellie the whole time, then Jesse, bam just like that. Then the whole time skip, what the hell was that. WHY SUCH A HUGE TIME SKIP AND FOR WHAT! UGHHH THIS GAME IS SO MESSED UP STORY WISE, at this point I’m considering this not even as cannon, it never happened. Let me know when they have last of us part 2 coming out, not a terrible fan made game by a 12 year old.

    But I was severely disappointed..

    Story

    To put it short, the story resembles a badly written fanfiction by someone who does not acknowledge or respect the reason that made people love the first game. The messaging of wokebess and diversity was pushed so much that it got way more screen time that could have been used to make the actual story more coherent and meaningful..

    Gameplay

    The gameplay is very stale, the new unlovable soulless characters make it even more of a chore than anything else In addition to no new significant improvements on the first games mechanics.

    Visuals

    The visuals and animations were the best thing in the game, there are beautiful landscapes and great attention to detail in the level design.
    Sadly, even that could not carry an atrocious story like this one.

    Verdict

    Before attaching a phobic description at me I’m not saying the game was disappointing because of the lesbian and trans galore going on in it (who characters slept with never mattered in the first game, not sure why it matters now but ok), I’m saying this because the story and messaging of this entire game is very badly done with little effort to make it mean something other than representation.. So please find a better use for your $60, invest in yourself, treat a loved one or help someone in need...Just make sure it doesn’t go to naughty dog because if this game indeed succeeds it will leave a taint in the gaming industry that encourages weak-willed creators to follow the atrocious trend of pandering and wokeness to get attention and legendary reviews on the expense of actually creating a good game with a meaningful story    … Expand

All the hype that was built up, the trailers, the gameplay and the screenshots were basically a straight lie. The story is no longer about Ellie and Joel, as ND suggested. Trailers are misleading, as what actually happens in the game is different from what the trailers have shown.
    As soon as TLoU2 starts the aim is to make you hate the old protagonist and side with a completely new character who you are forced to play with not even knowingly you will be playing with that character for more than half of the game. ND aren't sacred and can be called out for making a mistake. The story of TLoU2 is depressing and pathetic to say the least, I could not recommend this game to anyone even if I had a free copy given to me straight from Sony. Hard Pass.    … Expand

    Uma pena que o carinho que tiverem com os detalhes técnicos não tiveram com a história. Por exemplo o que aconteceu com o Joel, tudo bem colocarem isso na historia, mas a forma que foi dirigida para os acontecimentos, uma situação muito forçada e improvável. Outra questão é ficar forçando viés ideológico politico.

    -Pros
    Beautifully designed. Shows the PS4 is capable piece of hardware even now. Wonderful sound and soundtrack.

    Cons:
    Gameplay hasn't changed. Pretty much walk from point A to B.

    Terrible Characters. I don't care about any of these new characters being shoved down our throats.
    Plot holes are everywhere.

    Cringe Dialogue. Scenes are sometimes laughable because of the dialogue between characters.

    Pace is terrible.

    Game is 20 + hours when in reality with this crappy story, it could be reduced to under 15.

    THE STORY IS TRASH. NEW CHARACTERS ARE DESTROYED IN ORDER TO INTRODUCE THIS NEW WORTHLESS CAST.

    Terrible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In this latest strand type game you play as an **** on her quest to be an **** towards other human beings. But she's also a lesbian so it's ok. The really revolutionary part of this game is the game-play. They did the unthinkable and added a jump button. This turns the game-play from a boring repetitive cover shooter to a boring repetitive cover shooter where you can jump, quite an improvement over the first game i must say.
    Of course all the amazing action is topped of with the story and the way they tell the story. This really feels like you're playing a movie, except it's a little longer. They added an entire host of cutscenes to really show how bad the KKK is and how cool the lesbians are. A man gives ellie a sandwich and she calls it a bigot sandwich. Empowering.

    For real **** this game. **** like this is holding the medium back and stupid little game journos that want all games to have political messages and just be movies that you gotta pay 460€ for can go and commit toaster bath. And now the first last of us wasn't a masterpiece either so stop pretending like it was please.

    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.
