    A story focused game with extremely poor storytelling. It doesn't matter how pretty you make your game, if the gameplay is average, the story is bad and the characters unrelatable.

    The last of us didn't need a sequel and this game adds nothing to do the universe.

    Я прошел игру на одном дыхании. Она действительно великолепна. Для меня это открытие года. Игра заставляет на многие вещи смотреть иначе, очень сильно дёргает за эмоции. В общем определенно отличная игра.

The first LoU was a compelling story of love and redemption. It was a story of two broken people healing each other. This...this was a story from a profondly sick and disturbed mind. It is only perfect insofar as it's a representation of our unhealthy and toxic times. This game is hateful. It hates me, it hates you, it hates everyone but toxic politics which it champions in the most loud, obnoxious and crass manner possible. If anything, it's pointless. It just wants to tear down the accomplishments of the first and replace it with Satanism. The Last of Us 2 is just awful. It's a bad trip and not worth time or money. Hate to rate it a more than a 0, it is a 0...otherwise Metacritic wouldn't post my review. Paid for shill media is evil.… Expand

    One of two of my most anticipated games this year and the Last of Us was one of my favorites, which I have played through at least 4 times.
    That being said, Last of us part 2 is a lot of hits and misses, but the missed are so impact-full that it ruins the game. I pre-ordered it, because I had a lot of trust in the company, but that went out of the window.

    That being said, Last of us part 2 is a lot of hits and misses, but the missed are so impact-full that it ruins the game. I pre-ordered it, because I had a lot of trust in the company, but that went out of the window. I enjoyed the game for some time, and even some controversial choices were fine by me, but then it all wend down hill and the disappointment overshadowed the enjoyment.
    Here is the sum up of my thoughts of the game:
    1) Graphics - 5. The character models are good and the world is quite nice, but it becomes obvious that PS4 is no longer a decent hardware. After being able to play games on 60fps or more, the drop back to 30fps is really noticeable and worsens the experience.
    2) Sound - 9. Really good. Liked it a lot.
    3) Gameplay - 7. Its better than the first game, though (I know it's done to balance the game mechanics) some choices remain stupid. Like, you can carry 8 shells, not single more, but then you also can carry a brick. Also, the enemies spray you with bullets, but drop nothing. That being said, if you can ignore it, it's enjoyable. Really liked the weapon crafting, though, again, there were some irritating flaws that I can't reveal without spoilers. And the most annoying bit for me is the lack of mouse and keyboard (but it might be just me - it doesn't reflect the score).
    4) Story and characters - 3. I managed to get through to release without seeing a single spoiler and experienced the game as it was meant to, and I went away dissatisfied. It was not just because the events that took place, but also the character development, their choices, which seemed stupid, missing dialogs that I was waiting on and the list goes on. There were some gems, but even they were executed poorly. This game dwarfs against it's predecessor. The actors did their part really well, but it couldn't save the mess the writer made.
    OVERALL: 5 (it's not a mathematical result, but an overall score), Can't recommend.

    If I'd met myself few days earlier I would suggest skipping this game and keep on waiting for Cyberpunk 2077. Too bad I spent my hard earned cash on this game.    … Expand

    - Too many characters, old and new.
    - Story is lame and unsatisfying.
    - Storytelling format is janky and annoying.
    - Old characters seem like totally different people.

    I'll give it a 5/10. The story is what really ruined it for me. They tried too hard to do too many things at once, and utterly failed. There's a few good nuggets, but they are few and very far between. For a 30 hour game, that's just not good enough.    … Expand

The major problem with the game is unfortunately the story and the writing. There was a big part in the game where I just wanted to speedrun it just to complete it and to be done with it. The mainly reason I give this game a 4 is because of the story.

    (No spoilers) - I can barely recognize the characters. They are nothing like what we saw at the end of the first game. Also, you're given NO CHOICES. In every situation, you're forced to kill. Every. Single. Time. This is entirely different from the Last of Us. The game seems like it's trying to tell me that cruelty and wanton murder is bad, yet it's forcing me into wanton murder and cruelty.

    I already don't like it. As well-made as it is, as beautiful as it is, and as much a step up in terms of gameplay as it is, the game itself is not (so far) a worthy successor to The Last of Us. I shouldn't be made to feel bad for my actions in a game when I have zero choices as to how to act.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really really wanted to like this game and reserved my judgment until the end of the game. That said, I am pretty disappointed. There were times where the game really shined but those did not outweigh the lunky storytelling. It felt like a kid wrote most of the lines in this game. They just weren’t believable. I will say the level design, environments, voice acting were all superb. I applaud their thinking in creating a fame with a diverse social cast, but as a LGBT person I think they could have done better. I thought the transgender story line was fine but they could have made the character much deeper. This game had so much promise and I am heartbroken over it not delivering. The Last Of Us part 1 is unequivocally my favorite game of all time. Neil Druckmann’s ego is too huge and he needs stop attacking his fans for expressing their opinions on the game. Really sad to see his handling of the criticism. The official reviews for this game are really suspect because I just feel they aren’t accurate. The only accurate reviews appear to be neutral or not scored. I think this highlights an issue With the professional reviewers because it appears as if they were bought.… Expand

    The story, main pillar of the tlou 1 and the reason why you are playing these types of games is: GARBAGE, TERRIBLE BAD GARBAGE. Yeah sorry for caps but its really that bad. Its not a story witten by pros its a twitter fanfiction, someones nasty fantasy, its political statement and its terrible cliché.
    So the plot is: revenge is bad, klling is bad (but it only does metter in cutscenes not in gameplay). Thats it. Characters are shallow and ridiculous and ending is so bad you will cringe for the next ten days. Game tries so hard to be grimdark and edgy but it all comes down as a joke. This is how soy drinking woke devs imagine post apo world. And its one big LoL.
    Characters satisfied needed quotas of political correctness hence the 95/100 from so called pros. Sony created needed atmosphere in which you cant criticize the game, without being labeled as troll, bigot, hater etc by far left ideologists. And obviously journos only cares about keeping it good with sony to get another game in advance.
    This could keep going and going. NDs zero respect for the fan fav characters and cheap "shocking" moments that are only sign of bad writting. Zero respect for the players and tlou 1, etc etc.
    Do not buy this game and if you have to buy it second hand.
    Word of advice? Wait for ghost of tsushima, or if you need zombie game play days gone or wait for dying light. If you want good story about killing is bad play death stranding. Or use those money and buy something useful... just not this game. You will support everything thats bad with modern day entertainment industry.    … Expand

Joel and Ellie share one unique story amongst billions within a pandemic, post-apocalyptic world. As much as we grew to love them both and shared their experiences, we could have just as easily shared Abby's story on TLoU Part 1. If that were the case, knowing what most of us know now, we would have hated Joel without having known his story, along with a different opinion of his character. Love and hate must co-exist and sometimes it comes at a cost. That is the natural order in which we live. Joel knew that he effed up, which is why he couldn't bring himself to tell Ellie the truth. He was blinded by love, anguished still by the death of his daughter and Tess. Joel was not about to lose anyone else that he cared about and he would prevent it by any means necessary. At the end of Part 1, Joel became the biggest monster of them all. We, as the player, couldn't really comprehend this because we were so involved with what he saw, to the point where we were forced to chose what he had already chosen to do; completely immersed in his hatred to the point where he had forced us into being the bad guy. This is who Abby saw, and we were never there to witness her agony. TLoU Part 2 is the aftermath of bad decisions and their repercussions. It's gut wrenching and it will break you down. But if you're gonna rate it, don't base it on the characters human retributions. The game-play is solid, with new features and the new workbench weapon upgrade system is the best that I've seen. My 8 rating isn't for just how much I love it for all the new in-game features and abilities, but for how much I l LOVE to **** hate it. It's a story that I feel will stick with you, long after it's over. If you can't handle a dose of dark principles, go play some Mario Kart. I will rate again after I've finished the game.… 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.
