    "we hope this game inspires in you the kind of philosophical debates we had while making it."

    yeah, that's my view, trash game, not recommended

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If any of the positive reviewers have ever played the first game with any shred of attention or passion for it then i really don't understand where they are comming from calling it great and inronically calling the story a supposed "masterpiece" ... Whereas the first game is unforgettable due to the tone it set, combining bitter reality with a theme of hope, and well established characters that we all grew to know and love, the second game almost spits on all that was built up, and presents us a world that doesn't correspond with the theme astablished, and characters who are anything but a continuation of what they were and are. Joel was going to be killed eventually yes due to what he did at the end of the first game, but the way they did it in the second is just purely **** writing. When it happens, nobody knows who the **** Abby is, and after that we are expected to play as her to only then after 10 hours understand who she was and why (taking the fact that she is a super bland character with no real draw or motives out of the picture for a second). A proper execution would have been for us to first understand who she is, and where she is comming from and then have it lead up to the climax of confronting Joel. Combine that with the fact that Joel is established in the first game as a very mistrusting person, always seeing through traps, people's intentions and even not trustinnlg Ellie with a switchblade (out of fear she might hurt herself that is). Having him walk into a base with strangers, giving up their names with their guard fully down is the last thing he would ever do. The writer took him out of character for an opportunity to kill him off quick for shock value, and to even be able to insert his cgi self spitting on his corpse, this whole seen and that move can therefore be seen as a spit in the face of the fans by Druckman himself.

    Its also just plainly bad writing to make it seem like Joel saving her life didn't matter **** to her ... if the writers had actually bothered to put some depth into it they could have made it into a longer played out internal conflict that would have made for an actual good story.

    Now the story is just about 24 hours of constant revenge while simultaneously having a political agenda shoved down your throat. It doesn't belong in the world that was so cleverly thought out and brought to life in the first game. The zombies are so absent from the story now that they could just as well have been removed, so now the suspense they created in the first game is reduced to them feeling like some annoying npc part of a puzzle to get to the next cutscene

    Its just a whole game long where the player has to carry out one person's revenge fantasy after the other ... there is no depth to it, just a rinse and repeat viewed from different perspective played by characters that feel like husks compared to the complexity they had in the first game... Also there is no exiting goal anymore ... no outcome to work towards, just revenge upon revenge upon revenge plot

    Also the tone is nothing like what we got in the first game. The first game was already set in dark bitter reality so i don't buy the whole "but its more like reality now" argument, but the thing that kept you playing and made the game so good was the underlying tone of hope that carried the characters through, gave the story its gripping aspect and made everything feel like it mattered. At the end of the second game there is nothing you have really accomplished. No goal was reached that meant anything, we are left with some dead people, the villain walking away and being better off than the protagonist and no sense of satisfaction whatsoever. Its just 24 hours of "i kill u cuz i mad that u killed this person"

    So no, the story was just a prime case of lazy, bad writing anf showed no respect for artistical integrity. Joels death was done poorly and in total disregard for who we got to know in the first game, and so was the rest of the story. Badly written, shallow, it really added nothing of value to the timeline and on top of that tried to be way to political for the environment it takes place in. At the end of this game, there is no sense of accomplishment or satisfaction, we are left with an empty feeling, wishing we'd have never walked into this game and had just let the story end where the first game did. hence the story in all its aspects really just is a bunch of horse****, and a slap in the face for fans of the first game.    … Expand

    Una verdadera basura como que ellie no se vengo de Abby , además hay huecos argumentales muy grandes como , el de Abby que vio a la primera persona llamada Joel y lo mato y si hubiera Sido otro Joel , como también los instintos de Joel en el primer juego el era cauteloso con las personas extrañas y ahora en ningún momento creyó que Abby tramaba algo. No me jodas.

I wasn't a big fan of the DLC because I feel like an agenda was being forced and pushed in my face. Going into this game I was trying to have an open mind. I didn't mind ellie being gay so much. It bothered me in the DLC because she was like your daughter and I never once questioned her sexuality or cared to know. I didn't really have a problem with ellie being gay in this game seeing as she is much older and I don't feel like naughty dog really pushed it too hard. i feel like it flowed naturally and it wasn't just shoved down my throat. I think when they introduced the trans kid things were a little too much there. It was definitely forced and an obvious agenda was at play. I was kinda confused when I first saw abby but after learning about her background I understood her character. The graphics in this game were incredible. I also loved the gameplay. The main things I absolutely hated about this game was the ending. I think if i played this and didn't look at the leaks I would have hated it more when Joel died. I guess I kinda just accepted it before the game came out so i lived with it seeing as I preordered the game. Once the game panned over to Abby after the Theatre encounter I couldn't wait to hurry through and see what happens next. Let me tell u it feels like this game NEVER ends and in the worst way possible, but you keep playing to find out. Only to be F'ed over so hard with the ending its so unreal. The ending was so bad it has potentially made me not even want to buy a ps5 next gen and that says ALOT. I mostly buy playstation to experience games from naughty dog like uncharted last of us and FF7 remake is big on my upcoming games, but after seeing how sony and naughtydog treated this whole situation I think I might go rock out on some Halo next year. I would like to at least give this game a 5 for graphics because those developers deserve a well 10/10 for that, but this director has F'ed this game up so bad I have to rate a 0 and try to give it the lowest overall score as possible so maybe decisions can be made to better the brand.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game can't be saved by a fresh coat of paint. They story which is what we all held fondly in memory as one of the best games in history, is reduced to a pandering mess.

    Graphics 2/10 sorry but they look like a slight upgrade to the remaster.
    Audio 2/10 felt like remixed audio from Part 1.
    Gameplay 5/10 till you're forced to play as Abby then it drops to -10/10.
    Story 0/10 POINTLESS read on to see why.
    Killing off Joel feels as if it was only done for shock effect to illicit an emotional response and set up a WEAK story. In part one Joel kills hundreds of enemies human and infected. We're meant to believe this 1 person, who developers put that moral dilemma on us the player kill as the pivotal one? This was the entire plot for this game?

    You then force us like HALO 5 (and we all remember how that played out) to play as the one person who NO ONE cares for due to her actions. We have no attachment to nor do we want any for Abby.

    Elle then goes on her rage filled killing/torturing journey. She kills hundreds only to come face to face with Abby and what does she do? She lets her go! So all the people we've killed all our actions throughout the game are POINTLESS.

    BTW how can you tell the writing is weak? Elle tortured a person goes back and flirts with her girlfriend (and the romance is so badly written.) Ashley Johnson is an amazing Actress/Voice actress the script is so bad it felt like she was phoning it in waiting for the real script.

    Scenes ripped from Walking dead and Lord of the Rings:
    Frodo Vs Golem (fight for power and Frodo loses he finger, it gets bitten off)
    Elle and Abby fight for who will live (spoiler Elle is winning and just gives up and lets her go after Abby bites off her fingers that is.)
    Glen Vs Negan (Joel is shot in the knee and is in a kneeling position when Abby bashes in his head with a golf club)
    Stuff like this pops up everywhere in the game cause they had no clue how to write this game.

    How Original and Progressive!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Хочу сказать, что я играл в игру, правда до того момента как Джоэл"я зверски убрали из игры. Я всячески избегал спойлеров, а рекламная компания игры выставлялась так, что Элли и Джоэл отправляются вместе, что бы отомстить. А в итоге играешь за Элли и почитав отзывы других игроков, что ты вторую половину игры будешь ещё и Эбби играть, да меня после этого так взбесило, что я диск порезал, что бы не возвращаться к данной игре. Я бы простил и нетрадиционные отношения какие разработкчики показывают в игре, трансгендеров пофигу. Но с Джоэл"ем вы палку перегнули, в первой части игры меня затянуло, как развивался сюжет и отношения Джоэл"я к Элли, тот отец, что потерял дочь получил второй шанс и пошел на всё, что бы её спасти. В части 2 хотелось увидеть, то продолжение этих отношений, а вы же все чувства убили в самом начале, да ещё "Якобы" что бы понять, что чувствовала Эбби и как она шла свой путь даёте за неё играть, за персонажа, который убил любимого героя и я так понимаю не только мне он запал в душу. К геймплею и графике вообще вопросов нет, я смотрел на телик и у меня глаза просто наслаждались картинкой, но то каким путём пошли ВЫ разработчики в сюжете меня просто убило. Возможно мой отзыв и никто читать не будет, но хотелось бы сказать разработчикам: Лично я играю в игры, что бы убежать от того, что творится в мире и может игры не всегда заканчиваются не так как мы хотим, НО не надо тащить в игры тот весь ужас, что у нас происходит на данный момент. И хочу сказать как Геймер, вы для нас игры делаете и мы их покупаем,мы ваша основная аудитория, не пытайтесь всем угодить, ведь ВСЕМ НЕ УГОДИШЬ, а особенно тем, кому на игры вообще пофигу!!!!… Expand

    Disgrace to the videogame industry. First they delayed cause of the pandemic to potentially garner more profit, got leaked, and they are releasing it early. Played the game and it's even worse. They have to make all kinds of excuse, this doesn't justify how bad the story telling is. They are blaming nothing to blame but themselves.

    The Last of Us is all about the story. It is made to let it feel cinematic. Part II doesn't disappoint in that regard. The story really feels like a poor made low budget B-movie. Doktor Uckmann unfortunately puts a lot of ethical propaganda elements in "his" game that doesn't make sense and add nothing to story. Story 3/10. Gameplay 7/10. Graphics 8/10. Overall 0. Big disappointment.

    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]
