    I keep seeing the writing is bad. That's true but i blame Anita Sarkessian for this. My favorite game has been ruined. I want to return this game and gamestop let me. So disappointed!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nice gameplay and visuals hence a 3. Total garbage story with annoying new characters and forced to be on the wrong side half the whole time. Got worse later into the game. Too much PC in one single game. Damn! Certainly the end of the road for this series for me. Feel really sad. Sold my copy straight after my first bitter playthrough. I’ll watch out for this game directors next creation. … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i have had a lot of fun with the last of us 2. the game play is fun and always has my attention. while abby has a lot more action segments i compare to chris redfield, ellie still has the majority of gameplay, and is more like leon kennedy with great stealth mechanics. everything i had in my mind while playing, ellie did everything i wanted her to. and the game starts off really strong and kept me engaged. sadly thats where my praises end. while the gameplay and graphics are a step up from the original, the last of us part 2 sucks as the second game in a series. while ellies story starts off strong. the game tries so hard to shock you, while a simple shock doesnt mean its a good plot point. joels character was over hyped in trailers and his character when it came to how he died was ruined. joel spent the whole first game trying to teach ellie basic "dont tell anyone too much" kinda things, like street smarts basically cause he knew how naive she was. now while i believe tommy would be too trusting, joel walking into a group of people he doesnt know and telling them his name is ridiculous. all in all. the last of us 2s developers did a good job at making a Game, but they fell flat when it came to making a good part 2. the last of us 2 will go down as a "the last jedi" of followups. it still has that "last of us" tell and such. but as a part two, its sadly a very mid tier game… Expand

    I hate to see that the lagacy of the last of us getting destroyed by a political corrected story in the game ! At least i felt that way, the writers are trying to sell those ideas to a diffrent set of people who has a different religiouns, belifes and opinions. Just dont over sells any political agenda in GAMES that we love and like.

    I realy hate the last of us 2 story, i think that Mr. Druckman could write the same story concept but if the events or the details are diffirent i will love and adore the game.

    The actions of the charcters seemed stupid and absurd in this game keeping in mind if we compared those main charcters in the ending of last of us 1 and 2 there is a big shift in the charcter personality, mentality, approachs, belifs and etc,. They looked like they are a totaly diffirent people!

    Ion the other hand, i loved the gameplay and ill give it 10/10 even though it was simmiliar to the first game, I loved the visuales of the game, it was astonishing.    … Expand

And in game like this where the story is the biggest part of the game. I don't care they killed Joel i don't care half of the game was about Abby, but her and hers group story was just not entertaining and the cheap tricks from writers to make us like Abby were just pathetic. Like she can cure cancer, but i will still hate her because she's the one who killed the character i fell in love in the first game. Sadly gotta give this 4/10 even tho it's a really good game but not at all what i expected...… Expand

    At first, I was not very interested in playing The Last of Us 2 because I knew that I would not overcome the first part, after listening to so many rumors I decided to embark on the trip, to be very unsatisfied at the end. I had a feeling similar to that of the end of GOT, from my point of view the story is not the strength of the game, I was shocked that after playing with the protagonist, the game forces you to play with the antagonist, the development of the game is Forced to the point that the game becomes too long and boring, I expected a more satisfying ending after 40 hours invested but that is not the case with TLOU2. Joel's death seemed poorly executed, mainly because you only play a few minutes with him, that the whole game is an endless quest for revenge I consider it very poor and mediocre from a creative point of view. The positive is that I have to praise the technical part of the game, the level designs are fantastic, the setting, the music, you definitely feel immersed in that universe. The graphics are from another generation, exploration was my favorite part of the game and I have enjoyed the game, especially the fighting. In conclusion, TLOU2 does not go beyond the first part and leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to the story and the characters, but it is not a bad game either. Final verdict: Average.    … Expand

    I pre-ordered the collector's version, new controller and golden headphone. I played this game prior to Half Life VR and Persona S. I hoped this game would clarify all the question marks in my mind when playing. 0 mark is not sufficient to describe my disappointment after one month cool-down.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished this. It did not live up to the first game but for me its not as far off as a lot of people are saying.
    The story tries hard to get you to sympathies with both protagonists but ends up just making you not really feeling anything for either of them. By the end you're just pushing the button because the game wont let you progress until you do, specifically the final showdown.
    Story aside the gameplay is pretty good. I quite enjoyed the many different ways to approach the fights. You can sneak through and stealth kill everyone or you can run through guns blazing (at least until you run out of ammo).
    One issue I did have was with searching for crafting items. Becomes very repetitive to open draws and cupboards to find enough supplies to make the items you need. At the same time this makes the game feel more realistic in the post-apocalyptic world so I can't complain too much.    … Expand

    I did not find the game very engaging, I do enjoy the game play, scrounging for bullets and weapons and barely making it through encounters but there are basically no innovations from the last game. This would be okay if the story was on par but since it was not I found myself losing interest way before I reached the ending.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I rate the game based on how much joy/feeling the game brings me over the cost (money and time) it took from me.

    Last of US 1 was a great, great game.

    Last of Us 2 not only added nothing to the development of the lore or game-play, it took away all the positive connection I had with the characters from the first game. I would rather the game did not get made. Forget the money or the time I spent, Neil destroyed what was once timeless and memorable.

    Was there any positive? Yes.

    All the scenes where Joel and Ellie conversed, even when they were arguing.

    And of course, the museum scene, that almost made the game worth it.

    But not quite.

    1 for the great Joel and Ellie scenes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 2 is just as much Abby’s story as it is Ellie’s and that would be perfectly fine if I liked the character. So the game is for the most part a revenge story, during the very first chapter of the game Joel is literally beaten to death by Abby a former firefly while Ellie is forced to watch, thus all the interactions between Joel and Ellie are done through flashbacks. As a fan of the original game this is incredibly disappointing. Okay so I already knew from the first game that the people Joel and Ellie were killing were just like them in the sense that they were just trying to survive and they too had loved ones they were trying to protect this isn’t new information to me, so I really dislike that now they’re deciding to show the Firefly’s side and portray Ellie and Joel as the villains after they got me to care so much about them in the original. As for all the new characters that are introduced I just don’t care about any of them especially Abby so being forced to play as her for half of the game just isn’t fun. I don’t even like Abby’s back story I mean I know it would have been really predictable if it was somebody close to Marlene that sought revenge on Joel but the daughter of a random NPC from the first game is the one that vows revenge on Joel, I mean I didn’t even so much as know the lead surgeons name and yet his daughter is the one that kills Joel and is now the main playable character in the game. If they wanted me to care about Abby at all then maybe they should have told her story in chronological order maybe then I would have developed sympathy for her up until the point that she kills Joel but to have her just outright kill Joel from the onset with no explanation what so ever made it very difficult to sympathize with her. It all finally comes to an end with a fist fight between Abby and Ellie where Ellie decides at the very last minute to not kill Abby and lets her go even though she was relentless in killing every other person responsible for Joel’s death Abby is the only one she decides not to kill, if you believe Ellie would find forgiveness for Abby in the very moments that she’s trying to drown her then fine but I’m on the fence. Honestly I don’t think any of the ideas in this game are bad I just think they were executed poorly and if I had to rate this game from 1 to 10 I’d give it a 7. Almost everything about this game is amazing the gameplay, the graphics, the music the only real shortcoming is the story which is kind of ironic considering the story is what elevated the first game to be a masterpiece, out of all the things I imagined could go wrong with this sequel the story was the last place I thought Naughty Dog would drop the ball but there it is.… Expand

    6/10, because of weird/bad storytelling. The game has a lot to offer. Soundtrack, game-play, artworks and beautiful graphics. However the game is mostly focus on storytelling and that's where it started to fall apart.

    Finale was also anticlimax, feature no "real" morel message to the players/viewers. Some stuff was just unnecessarily for the story. This story is also heavily dependent on political views, specially about women and trans. In the first game, didn't have any kill able female characters (which is interesting).

    Overall this game is "NOT GAME OF THE YEAR", weird decision. It's like they were making a perfect pancake and a customer asked Nutella inside a pancake. Obviously you get confused, but you don’t want to upset customer. In the end your pancake is horrible, but you made your best effort to satisfy the customer.

    It's a good game, but very bad writing, hope the writers realize how to write a story without being dependent on society moral and listen to their own hearts and how they feel like story should go.    … Expand

They managed screwing up a beloved character, killing another in an over simplistic manner and to top it off they force you to engage and control a new character (who by the way had way more charisma and attention than the main chars) and expect you to care about her.

    All bad decisions leading up to a repetitive game with a uninteresting story centering itself in a character you don't care about. Way to go people.

    I've been making myself endure the game simply because I could not believe how much they f'd it up. Don't buy it, it's an exercise in frustration and patience. A wonderful game followed by complete trash that has probably disrupted what could be an awesome franchise. Will not but the next one.    … Expand

You must play this game with an open mind for being a story about lost and finding one self. It isn’t about the revenge story, as it’s more about different perspectives and that understanding them will sympathize you with the story. It’s about how Elle never found her reason to move on and live after the results of the first game. Certain character’s actions causes these terrible consequences and If you choose to not understand then because you don’t like certain elements then you are on a blind path just like Elle was.… 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...
