    Story is just TRASH. I played Tlou1 only because of the Story because gameplay was bad. Its just the same bad gameplay here. And they ruined the story.

    I'm sick of this SJW degeneracy crap! TLOU was once a timeless classic, now obliterated by smut peddling. The developers should be ashamed of themselves. Throw this excuse of a game into the trash pile of gaming history where it belongs.

    Great graphics, probably the best looking game on PS4. Hollow, repetitive, clichè story that assumes the player is an idiot. Misleading trailers just to subvert expectations, virtue signalling forced in to the narrative.

    I understand what Naughty Dog were going for, trying to incorporate the bleakness of real life in to the game, where there’s no heroes, no happy endings, no adventure.

    I understand what Naughty Dog were going for, trying to incorporate the bleakness of real life in to the game, where there’s no heroes, no happy endings, no adventure. But, people play games for heroes and adventure, this is the wrong medium for these views. People play games for escapism, not to be lectured like a documentary.

    What should have been GOTY, fails to be a good 'game'. The story fails, the gameplay, while an improvement on the first game, didn’t improve enough.

    This game just reeks of missed potential, what should have been ‘Breaking Bad’ turned out to be ‘Game of Thrones Season 8’ or the new Star Wars movies.

    What a shame.    … Expand

    This game was just eh. The plotline was absolutely terrible it was just not what we wanted. We wanted more Joel and Ellie. We wanted to see how the story would continue after Joel lied to Ellie.

TheyThis game was just eh. The plotline was absolutely terrible it was just not what we wanted. We wanted more Joel and Ellie. We wanted to see how the story would continue after Joel lied to Ellie. But no **** that. Let’s just skip 5 years ahead and introduce a bunch of characters that we don’t care about. I found myself liking the game at the beginning but overtime it felt boring. They focused on too much story and not enough gameplay. In the first game you are running around as you try to flee for help which is a great introduction and then after that you go into this huge fight. But in the last of us part 2 the first 2 hours is just all story and barely any action. There was some really cool scenes and Joel making a dad joke made me smile so much, but besides that it was just eh... This game is just okay it’s not as bad as everyone is saying it is just mediocre. A huge wasted opportunity and a huge disappointment especially since it was from naughty dog. (Spoiler) also they killed ****ing Joel. When that happened it was like my heart was split into two. He meant so much to me and was such a good character. But they just decided to kill him off for the sake of a plot... If they wanted to kill someone off maybe make it Dina or Tommy. That would’ve been way better than killing Joel. I would’ve loved to see Joel and Ellie team up again and travel around searching for the killer of Dina and Tommy. I just have no interest of doing it with Dina and Ellie. One of my favorite parts of the last of us was the amazing father and daughter relationship between Ellie and Joel. But in conclusion this game is just okay it’s kinda fun but I ****ing hate naughty dog for killing Joel. If they do make a last of us part 3 it should just be **** the last of us 2 and completely ignore that the game existed and continue from where the last of us part 1 ended. I love the last of us so much and to see this game turn out like this just kills me.… Expand

    The game is fantastic. Naughty Dog has crafted an emotionally provocative story. The characters have depth and are sincere. Ignore the reviews trashing the game. There is no agenda in the game. The only agenda is from people that can't handle the reality that something other than heteronormative exists.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Привет всем русским.
    В общем, игра мне кажется слишком переоцененной. Слишком!
    Я провел в игре примерно 7 часов и всё, я больше не хочу в неё возвращаться. Проблема не в повестке даже, а в самом геймплее. Я не могу продолжать играть и мне скучно.

    Сперва пройдемся по базе: в игре вкусная графика, но нет какой-то революционной механики. Это всё то, что я уже видел в первой части. Не того я ждал.
    История очень плохая в том плане, что я не смог за чуть ли не весь день привязаться хоть к одному персонажу. У меня отвращение ко всем. Единственный персонаж, к которому я привязан еще с первой части - Джоэл, но Нил Дракманн и вся компания NaughtyDog просто идиоты, которые не смогли даже правильно попрощаться с самым глубоким персонажем серии. Я хотел кинуть геймпад в монитор за то, что я не перестал лить слезы, а Элли уже фиолетово на смерть и она просто на эмоциях кого-то убивает, просто потому что она злится и будто забыла на что, как типичная баба (да, они часто начинают злиться и потом забывают на что злились, поверьте). Ей было похуй на смерть Джоэла. Всю серию игры ненавидел и буду ненавидеть Элли!    … Expand

    TLOU2 is still a solid game. Having played through it in it's entirety, I can say that more or less with confidence. However, the story feels off. Forced upon us. Characters make uncharacter-like decisions for the sole purpose of furthering the disjointed narrative being written for us. Of course, the demises of certain main ensemble characters is upsetting, but if a game portrays them inTLOU2 is still a solid game. Having played through it in it's entirety, I can say that more or less with confidence. However, the story feels off. Forced upon us. Characters make uncharacter-like decisions for the sole purpose of furthering the disjointed narrative being written for us. Of course, the demises of certain main ensemble characters is upsetting, but if a game portrays them in a way that's both meaningful and true to the character, so be it. The deaths in this game felt so utterly heavy-handedly forced down my throat I shut it off and left for a bit.

    It is extremely obvious to fans of the first game that the writing has veered off into something else entirely this go-round. It's upsetting to see actual user reviews being ignored, and only have the large gaming journalists reviews be considered "valid" Meanwhile, when average gamers like myself try to explain our vastly different experiences with the game, we're considered "bots" or "review-bombs" or we're upset because of the sexual orientations of characters withing the game. This is insulting.

    TLOU2 is a solid game. However, it doesn't advance the story, the graphics, or the gameplay enough after as long as it spent in the oven. The game devs should be proud of the work they put in.

    The writers should be ashamed.    … Expand

This game just uses beloved characters to ram a cult ideology down your throat with zero humanity or heart aside from one flashback. It’s done with malice and hate, ending with hopelessness. All this game served to do for me is to insure I’ll never buy another Naughty Dog game again. These aren’t bots leaving bad scores, they’re actual people that buy games.

    Another masterpiece from Naughtydog! The gameplay loop is engaging and enjoyable the entire time, the environments are open enough to make you feel like you have freedom. The visuals are the best I've ever seen, and it's using 7 year ild hardware. The story is amazing too! Telling an heartfelt story of revenge and how anyone can be seen as a villain when you only get half the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have actually played this game through the beginning to the end. I’m not just some fan that’s watched a bunch of YouTube videos coming here to throw around ‘SJW’ and give it a 1/10. This game is great. Not comparable to the first, but great. The main big gripe I see with most reviews is the death of Joel. If you played the game, you would know why Joel met his demise. Put yourself in Abby’s shoes. If someone killed your father, you would go out of your way to end this persons life. That is exactly what Abby did, and in a way she’s justified in her actions even though I do have love for Joel. Joel killed her father. Abbys entire backstory is painted throughout the entirety game, so you come to understand why she feels the way she does. At the beginning of the game, I hated her. But throughout the game as you play through her sections, her backstory is fleshed out so you get a better understanding of her actions and reasonings. I came to like her almost as much as Ellie by the final scene. Joel was selfish for killing everyone at the hospital to save Ellie, but I also understand why he did. Also, for the plotholes. The only one I keep seeing is about Ellie wearing a gas mask. Again, if you played the game, you would understand because this is brought up about halfway through the game. Joel tells Ellie to always keep her mask on near spores Incase they run into another survivor. Ellie’s immunity is still a secret in this game. Towards the end of the game, after playing as both Ellie and Abby for hours and hours, I came to sympathize with the both of them. They were both doing what they thought was right because of the death of a loved one, even though Abby kept sparing Ellie’s life but Ellie could not let it go and kept going on her revenge quest which eventually in the end made her lose most things she loved. I felt bad for Ellie towards the end, but that was the predicament she kept putting herself and the people around her in over and over again. If you set out for revenge, you best dig two graves.… 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... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
