    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game looks great, and plays normal...nothing really ground breaking to be honest In terms of gameplay. With only a few problems, the gameplay is a solid 7-8. However, this is not a gameplay based game like Mario or Apex. This is a Narrative driven game and the quality of the narrative and story must be critiqued at a higher standard. Wow are there major plot holes in this game. There is very little back story on characters and little character development for the new characters. Key major events happen but are narratively justified quickly improperly. Don't get me wrong, the game and story is not bad, it's just average. (With high highs and lows lows along your journey)… Expand

    When creating a game, you don’t need to invest there a political background, and even more so propaganda. Is this story for followers of LGBT and feminism?

    New games such as it never will be released for nearly 10 years. That game is a sequel original TLOU, It telling about grown-up Ellie 19 years old, want to Seattle.
    Guys, if you insult developers, humiliate developers, angry at the developers Naughty Dog about some feminism, female power, guys, just play this game. Plz can be not mad.

    The most overrated game this generation. This is a political statement, not a video game, whis low and boring gameplay.
    Story is utterly disgusting. Characters lost all their charm, intelligence and personnality.

    but they destroyed everything i loved from the first game, this is supposed to be a sequel from an honorable game, but instead we got a trash Netflix interactive movie

    I enjoyed the game, but just a little little bit , what they did to the story, thats the only thing i hate, but a lot, i can't believe how they ruined everything the first game built, poor writing, the plot holes are **** up.

    Joel was like almost an Arthur Morgan to me, but atleast Arthur had a good death, but it still was a really sad for all the time you spent with Arthur (depending), if Joel had died like a hero or sacrificing for Ellie i wouldn't be annoyed, but if atleast you could beat the **** up out of Abby at the ending and stab her multiple times to revenge Joel, it would be a little better, but nope, Ellie let's her go... are you ****ing kidding me.

    Its a nice game, but the story is what ruined it all, the gameplay feels a little old, but still entertaining
    i honestly wouldn't reccomend it, but if you dont care about the story or the characters that made The Last Of Us be what it was before this sequel, maybe, just maybe you could try it out, but if thats what you loved about the first game, then stay away from this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Over all those issues, I’d like to rate this game 10 out of 10. I loved to be Ellie and follow her emotions. Users can find lots of scenes that reminds them about the part1&dlc. The graphics&guitar sound was awesome. Also the enemy’s AI(with various action while searching&fighting)and fighting actions were cool. Increased useable weapons were interesting. Also while the adventure time, users can do lot more actions (like using rope, jumping around, and etc.) than we did in part1. The idea this game wants to tell us about was great. Playing this game with some open-minded heart will give you the best experience.



    — SPOILER ALERT FROM THIS PART—



    I understand why people get mad about the story. Joel’s death made them not just “angry”, but more. Just like Ellie did. It was definitely directors’ mistake that they didn’t realize how much people do care about Joel and how much they’ll gonna be frustrated. Directors should’ve notice that user’s anger won’t lead them to “be Ellie”, but lead them to stop the game and score the lowest. But I can also understand why the story happened like that. I didn’t searched about the leaks, so during the playtime was the time when I knew Joel’s gonna be die. The sadness, anger, frustration, and all of my emotions... while I was looking on Ellie’s face... it made me to be her. But yeah, if I’d heard about the leak(that Joel gonna die, and not just dying, but with a golf club.), I won’t be able to enjoy the game like i’m doing now. I’ll start the game with full of anger about Joel’s fate and thinking about this game is a total **** or I’ll just enjoy the part1 over and over, not buying this game, making my own story of Joel&Ellie. I totally understand why users are so upset about this game, but I also think that if there wasn’t the leak, user’s score won’t be that low. Without a prejudice, people might be angry(with the same rage as now) but also they could be able to immerse themselves in a story. By linking themselves with Ellie, by being her.

    About the ending, I totally agree with the directors. Make Ellie kill Abby, just like the users wanted to, but then what? Will the revenge make Ellie feel better? Is that really an answer? There was always an “unusual” endings in this series. In part1, Joel’s selfish decision was the ending(to say in a bad way). But why not this time? I loved the idea what this game wanted to say. It’s painful thing to accept that idea, but I did.

    I’m Korean, so I don’t know how international users think about LGBTQ+ and any other issues in this game, but I do know that it made some of Korean users get mad. But is that really a thing to be mad just because you can’t shoot Jewish thing, main character is a gay, and the Queer flag is in the game... Like, for REAL?? I think some angers go to the wrong way, not make them to be Ellie but be some socially-mentally immature people. It can’t be a reason or an excuse to rate this game low. I think the game made a society where we are living right now. Sure there’s no infected, but there’s various people living with us. Some users should see the character/people not as their identity, but just as a human.

    The gameplay was great just as I wrote it in the intro. I hope people could see this game not with some colored glasses.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would say the graphics are the only real strong point of the game. The fighting feels dated at this point but some people might be wishing for that system to stay as it is. The problem is with story writing. I have no idea why they would try to make a game with gritty realism when the people that wrote the story feel so incredibly detached from reality. Basic human instincts and principles are broken to keep up an extremely hollow story about issues they have no real concept of. The game succeeds in subverting expectations but in the worst ways possible. If I could go back in time and avoid the game I most definitely would as even in the ending there was nothing else but disappointment. If you are just hoping for a satisfying resolution of the Ellie vs Abby story then just stop playing and save yourself the headache.… Expand

But there was a universe of possibilities for this sequel in between the polar extremes of "derivative fan-service" and "abject misery that tears apart everything everyone loved about the first game." Naughty Dog were so aggressively hellbent on avoiding the former extreme that they went charging head-first into the latter. Honestly, it feels like they were so determined to subvert expectations that it actually deranged them and their decision-making.

    This game is so bleak and nihilistic it almost becomes comedic. I don't think a single good thing happens to a single character in the entire game that isn't completely undone or reversed by the end of it. The first game had tragedy, but the darkness was there to challenge and ultimately accentuate the lightness — it wasn't just darkness for the sake of darkness. The first game also had heart, and plenty of it. Where is the heart in this sadistic carnival of misery?

    The original Last of Us is genuinely my favorite game of all time. This sequel goes to such extreme lengths to tear apart everything I loved about the original that it frankly feels spiteful and vindictive. How professional critics could give this 10/10's is just mind boggling to me. I think some people mistake misery for high-art, as though that's the only necessary ingredient. As though a work of art making you want to claw your eyes out and then jump out a window must mean that it's really "brave" and "deep". This game is not deep — it's a superficial, indulgent and conceited slog.

    Beloved characters don't even act like themselves. Somehow, 14 year-old Ellie from the previous game is significantly more emotionally mature, wise, perceptive and empathetic than the 19 year-old version we're introduced to. How does that make any sense whatsoever?

    All the beautiful nuance and ambiguity of the original game's ending is retconned into preachy, black-and-white moralising. My worst case scenario for this sequel was that it would not only fail to live up to its full potential (and there was so much potential), but that it would actually sully and undermine the legacy of the first game. And it absolutely has. I say it with no joy, but I now genuinely wish there had never been a sequel at all, and that TLOU had definitively ended once and for all with that fantastically executed conversation between Joel and Ellie at the end of the first game. This sequel is such a staggeringly huge mistake, and it can never be erased or undone.

    I'm giving this 3 stars for the graphics, sound and music alone. I understand how much work must have gone into that side of the game. But TLOU is a story-driven game, so story is king. Everything else is just peripheral to me and, frankly, something I would expect from a massive Sony game with an eye-watering budget. I'd honestly rather play a 2D pixel-art game with good writing and storytelling. So 3/10 is the most generous score I can muster.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is so poor, we spit on everything that was built during TLOU 1. Joel was a real T-800 during the first adventure, remember the ambush scene with the truck? That's Joel, a guy who doesn't fall into traps and doesn't trust anyone.
    And in TLOU 2, suddenly, after rescuing a stranger, he finds himself in a dark room with a dozen people armed, reveals his real name as if they were his buddies and gets shot. writing 0/10.
    And because above all TLOU is a game that has succeeded thanks to its story and characters, as well as a keen sense of detail, destroying this legacy because of some kind of nauseating anti-vengeance/non-violence moral forced down the throat is absolutely unacceptable. It doesn't matter if you put trans or gay people in the game, we don't care, but stop forcing your political agenda in games where it doesn't belong. Do you really think that in a situation where society is collapsing as a result of a virus that creates zombie fungus trans people would be a topic for discussion?
    - "you're gay, you're trans, you're both at the same time? I'm happy for you, now let's find some food to survive." That's what it should look like. It should never be the main topic of this **** story. Unfortunately, it is, with this stupid anti-trans cult (who gives a **** and these empty characters who are just there to act as a token so that everyone can feel represented.

A maneira de como ele se desenvolve, que também já é meio podre, e tanta história envolvida na franquia desde o anterior, tudo isso para um final entediante e abaixo das expectativas. É uma pena que ao criticar o jogo de maneira sincera ainda a comunidade nos trata com deslealdade. Inclusive gostaria de criticar a maneira de como os movimentos são retratados no jogo. De uma forma massiva e sufocadora, o jogo retrata de uma maneira totalmente desrespeitosa as lutas pois sinto como se o jogo e os personagens fosse apenas uma maneira de lucrar como se fosse apenas uma máquina de ganhar dinheiro em cima dos movimentos. (E infelizmente muitos são enganados pela empresa) É possível fazer um jogo ótimo com uma boa história, personagens que retratem movimentos, como lésbicas, gays e minorias como Life Is Strange, sem apelar para o populismo em massa. Enfim, tenho isto como crítica, não acredito que esse jogo seja sincero em retratar os movimentos populares, tem um enredo ruim, um pífio desenvolvimento e um final decepcionante, mas bons gráficos, talvez possam aproveitar pra reciclar jogos futuros.… Expand

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
