    I would've felt LESS cheated had this game featured the excellent, albeit lacking in playercount multiplayer back, except they decided to opt out of it this time around, so you are getting even less game for your money.    … Expand

    I recently completed the first part of TLoU and then I played in TLoU2. I can say that from the first hour of this game through the whole walktrough developers will spit in your face with a lot of plot holes, awful designed strory and characters. This game should not be exiting and all hate towards it justified.

    This game is just TLoU but withot good story and characters. And this actually breaks my heart because I fell in love with the first part. If you want to expirence TLoU this game wont give anything even close to real TLoU exept from setting and atmosphere. DO NOT BUY THIS. (my english is not very good)    … Expand

    7 years, for this. Turns out it all was for nothing. The gameplay, voice acting, graphics, sound design, and soundtrack are fantastic, top tier. However, the story, holy hell it's awful. Take every character from the first game and just switch them, make them do things they wouldn't in the first game for the sake of it. Without getting into spoilers, which I believe you should because it's7 years, for this. Turns out it all was for nothing.

Without getting into spoilers, which I believe you should because it's worth spoiling your self just so you don't have to play this. Anybody who loved or just enjoyed the characters/story in the first game has a high chance of disliking this. If you're new and for some reason randomly playing this and not the first, sure maybe it's good if you have no idea about the characters. Even with the weird and downright cringe dialogue but I was hoping the combat and overall production of the game would maybe make it easier but it didn't because I was so frustrated with the story. If anything it made it worse, because of how great this game could've been with a solid story.

    It's so disappointing Druckmann went the "subvert expectations" dumpster fire route. People wanted more of what made the first game so good but no. Also, the false advertising, model swapping is gross. If there's a part 3, I won't be buying.

    If you play this, I hope you find a way to enjoy it.    … Expand

    This game is NOT a 0 but ffs it is NOT a 8 either. Just the story and characters development alone is enough to take off 3 points.

    This is why fans are angry, this effin **** of a story and a treatment of characters we got to know in the last game.
    For what? a tumbler story? Are you serious? This is what we got? Are you insane?

    I will not spoil anything but DO NOT buy this game.
    The first one ended well enough, this just trashes everything.
    Talk about dumpster fire.

    Anyone with power to stop this game, anyone with ANY say about this game failed.
    This will not go over well with fans, this WILL not end up with a good relationship with the fans.
    This will NOT help you sell games in the future.

    Now F*** off and ffs do not listen to people with an agenda behind their stories.

    Trash from start to end.
    To be honest the game aint bad, its actually good.

    The gameplay is nearly the exact same as the first game, the visuals are good, and the story is absolute garbage. It's the worst way I've wasted $60, and I bought Fallout 76 on launch.

The discourse around this game has been toxic due to fan outrage some of the story choices made by Naughty Dog, however I encourage those who might think be hesitant to play this game to go into it with an open mind. IMHO this is not just one of the best video games of the generation but maybe one of the best ever. So ignore the toxicity around this game on the internet and play it for yourself and I guarantee you this game will move you. It’s almost hard to even call this a video game but rather a work of art that will ask uncomfortable questions to you as a player and really causes you to meditate on its themes and message. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I did in my roughly 20 hours of playing it. The game is unique and special with the amount of risks it takes, but I believe Naughty Dog executed, if you willing to come on the ride that Naughty Dog takes you on, you’ll be glad you stuck around to enjoy it.… Expand

    Ive seen indie games with better character development, this game is terrible and I don't know how they honestly though it would live up to TLOU1's standards with game play and writing. How this game has nearly a perfect critic score baffles me and reminds me never to listen to what they say.

    Politics and trends should not have influence on art! The topic in the first game was very different than that in the second game. The name of the game should be changed, because it is not follow-up of the previous game.

    If you had told me back when this game first got announced that we'd get a garbage story like this, I would've thought you were lying and would be pissed you would even say something like that.

    I use to think that Neil Druckmann was an actual good writer/director considering he headed TLOU and Uncharted 4, but I'm coming to realize how much he rode on the coattails of Amy Hennig and all other veterans who left after Uncharted 4. It was actually they who had concreted stories down for both of those game before leaving (or being kicked out of in certain cases) Naughty Dog.

    With them gone and giving no more input into Naughty Dog's games, it's clear how far the company has fallen from grace. This was a company I grew up with. Crash, Jak & Daxter, Uncharted, TLOU... This new game is completely out of character for a once well respected studio. Even more so, it's come to light that under Neil's direction, crunch is brutal, expression of different beliefs than his have been aggressively denied, and the company tries to shut up those who leave the company through illegal NDAs.

    If this is what 7 years can produce under a one hit wonder and egocentric man like Neil Druckmann, I fear Naughty Dog will never be seen like how they use to; with respect and gratitude.

    In short, this was a horribly written game on the same level of teenage fan fiction, and I don't recommend it to anyone.    … Expand

But if you're going to kill a character that literally everyone cares about and loves. send him off in a good way. But nope , his death is rather a waste and nothing comes out of it , and its just a way of showing you how they really wanted to **** on the character. not only that , but the way he's treated by Ellie in the game is just sad. I've never hated a game so much as much as this one , i feel like it was just made to piss you off. overall all i gotta say is play it if you never played the first and don't care about the story. But if you were a huge fan of the first one and expected a great sequel. then stay the **** away from this one. 5/10. **** this game.… Expand

    Worst game I've ever played. The story is interesting for sure, and it could've been great if it was executed properly (unlike Joel). Would be a decent B-movie, but as a game its awful and uninspired.

The game is pretty good the combat is **** amazing and the story is alright its a vengence story nothing too good but people hate the game for 2 reasons the first one is that its a ps4 exculisive and people dont like that so they put bad ratings the second reason is the scene where joel dies its a sad scene and people are mad becuase joels death wasnt amazing like arthur morgans death but I think thats the poin abby kills joel in the worst way possible so you could hate abby just like ellie does becuase lets be honest we all cursed at abby when she was killing joel and jiels death is supposesd to be like that becuase this world isnt disnyland nobody is going to have a peaceful death… Expand

Nem az a lényeg, hogy mindenképp meg kell felelni a közönségnek. Ezt a történetet akarták elmesélni és meg is tették. Ha mindig meg kell felelni az elvárásoknak akkor lesz a soha véget nem érő Halo típusú story.

The game tries to reinvent a way of telling a story (just like the first), and in my opinion it succeeds, they make you hate abby with all your strength, so that in the middle of the game you control her and see her side , realizing that his revenge did not work, and that Jeol was also wrong. I literally loved this innovative way, and I think most people didn’t understand and that’s why this game is taking hate, My congratulations Naughty dog… 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.
