    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve never reviewed a game on meta critic before but I feel like I have to write one for this game. Myself and many others feel completely lied to. The trailers built the game up to be something it was not. Ellie’s “quest for revenge,” for Joel takes a backseat to dumb drama with other characters I could care less about. Where the first game was one of the most well written stories in triple A gaming, the second one seems to be written by toddlers trying to push agendas. My only question for naughty dog would be “Who is this game for,” because it’s obviously not for fans of the original. I don’t know if I should even sell the game. It would just feel wrong putting this game in the hands of someone else, knowing what awaits them in this 25-40 hour train wreck.… Expand

    This is my first time ever leaving a review, I made this account just to post this because this game is that bad. The Last of us 2 has been absolutely destroyed by the bad story writing and these writers don't care about the fans or respect the game at all. Also do not trust the critic reviews because they aren't a true reflection of this game, go watch real opinions from youtube gamersThis is my first time ever leaving a review, I made this account just to post this because this game is that bad.

Also do not trust the critic reviews because they aren't a true reflection of this game, go watch real opinions from youtube gamers and true fans of the series. I am so disappointed with what happened to this game, not because of the LGBTQ direction in it or the female characters being lead, but because of the terrible terrible story. Also because of the fact I have to play as a character I hate for 10 hours. Please save your money and please do not support these writers.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Looks like Sony got their devoted fans to spam this game with 10s cause it's not allowed to have a bad user score. and since you are here thinking about to defend this game's generic third person game-play that feels like a straight up copy of the tomb-raider reboot, or the story that quite frankly takes cues from saturday morning cartoons for it's attempt to make you sympathise with a killer by making her pet dogs and help people while the main character that tries to avenge her father figure is made to look as bad as the writer was able to by making her kill hundreds of people, some dogs and a pregnant woman. the theme of "revenge bad" is also completely lost since Abby got her revenge on Joel and gets to go home completely scot-free while Ellie stops her revenge at the last second due to a short vision of Joel's dead corpse. how does seeing a vision of your father figure's lifeless and beaten up body make you stop killing the person who made him this way? i honestly don't know, it makes no sense. so yeah Dr. "100 brains" Uckmann is a hack who only got the last of us to work cause Bruce Straley was probably keeping him in check. if you are some schmuck from twitter you would be askin if i would bring up that i liked the first one and that i am disappointed with this gmae. sorry to disappoint you cause i thought the first one was just an alright 7.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ending as bad as Game of Thrones. I stayed optimistic after what happened in the beginning Ellie’s first half saved the game it made you forget what happened and made you remember what was great about the first, but why make me play with some one you absolutely hate from the beginning for almost 10hours lose any type of love you had for the game that you gained back from Ellie and then fight the main character you love. I understand they’re trying to make you see her perspective but even that wasn’t enough. It was just running around fighting with an old fling. I’m just going think this never happened maybe give my self a concussion so it’s gone from my memory and play the original.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part 2... absolutely horrid.

    The story is one of the worst things I've seen basically being a revenge story where the maincharacter doesnt even take her revenge even after killing numerous people, the AI feels like it came out of the first starcraft as a dragoon and put into a shooter game, and the workbench animation feels incredibly unnatural. These are just a few of the issues.

    There are so many things wrong with this, the only decent things are the combat system and crafting system.

    This should not be considered canon, this should not have even been made. Whoever made this obviously had a bad boss directing them to make this excuse of a story, also feels extremely rushed in many aspects of the game, no way this was decided on by the actual people who made the game on their own accord. I feel bad for them.    … Expand

Honestly never played a story that was so hyped up and sold upon 1 character and you had him dead in the first couple of hours, i was thinking okay no problem lets see where this goes until you made me play Abby the most ununlikeablecharacter in gaming history just to go and beat the **** out of Ellie! Like wtf are you smoking ND??
    I was like okay lets see where this ends and you get this horrible ending with no justification what so ever are you **** kidding me? dont waste your money on this ****show and save it for something else
    If there was less than a zero i would give it.

    Not much is needed to be said that hasn’t been already. Great gameplay and looks terrific. Writing is just awful, I didn’t realize it was a love story. As well as the terrible assumption that the fans wanted this. I see it was never about the fans. Guess the lying worked in your favor Naughty Dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Check this out guys, we went from a sad story that was all about finding hope and meaning in life in a post-apocalyptic world to literal MISERY p0rn where nobody can be happy, except the main antagonist. The story is a basic af 'revenge' plot, where they turn Ellie into a straight up psychopath who only feels remorse in cutscenes for some weird reason while murdering over a HUNDRED of human beings over the course of the game. And when the time for the actual revenge on the only person who ACTUALLY WRONGED YOU and was not somewhat innocent, Abby, they DONT LET YOU KILL HER. They take away the control from the player and don't let you get the satisfaction of murdering the SheHulk. Wow.
    Somewhere on the way there, you witness your father figure be brutally murdered. Later into the game, you are forced to beat the s--- out of Ellie because they force you to control the SheHulk monster called Abby. You have to press buttons and have to win the hand-to-hand combat duel with Ellie. This game breaks my heart. F--- you, Neil who directed this garbage and f--- you, Naughty Dog.    … Expand

Ignorando el crunch al que fueron sometidos los trabajadores para sacar este juego, lo asqueroso que es que quieran ser tan inclusivos con sus personajes, que la prensa le regale 10 y que juzgue de homofobicos a todos los que no lo califiquen con 10 perfecto, el juego tiene buen gameplay sorprendentes gráficos mejor que toda la basura mostrada en el anuncio de la Ps5, este juego carece de lo que hacía tan grande al original una buena historia, y se supone con el final la moraleja es que la venganza es mala y por eso no mata a Abby, pero bien que para Abby la venganza salió perfecta, y al pobre de Joel le destruyeron todas sus neuronas y se volvió un tontito qu e murió colo un perro, el juego merece un 5-6 pero para emparejar la nota le pongo 0, por que en esta página se van a poner a quitar muchas reseñas negativas como con death stranding… 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.

    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]
