    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am actually on my run for the first part but seeing “that scene” on the part 2 made me lost my appetite to continue the game. This game just loses it context on character building and story-telling. I would have accepted “that scene” for the protagonist but playing another character and making the other protagonist an enemy is no longer acceptable at least to say the least Graphics and Gameplay are a notch but story wise and character plots nah. I wished the story would have been more of Ellie than playing Abby who came out of nowhere to avenge his dad everyone lose their loved ones. I just felt that the story could have been better like focusing on finding the cure without Ellie dying. I’m done with this game but thanks Naughty dog for disappointing your fans.… Expand

    A very frustrating story. I was looking forward to play Joel and Ellie, but that was not to be. This game is not for boys. It's only for LGBTQs and far left feminist. The story was completely destroyed by the focus on sexual orientation

    And it has all the stuff we loved from the first game, the crafting of weapons, molotov cocktails, first aid kits.

    The scarse resources and ammo make it a struggle to play. And it is extremely satisfying

Additionally, maybe spent some time with your team and learn something from Rockstar as far as story telling goes and how it connects and keeps player engaged with the characters present in the game, And I just realized Neil druckmen is literally in this game ..he spits on Joel.… Expand

In a world where morality is broken down, the game is a revenge of a stranger two hours after it started, spitting on the faces of players with Joel for the past seven years, killing him, and telling players to understand and forgive it. This game is really rubbish.… Expand

    It was sad that they destroyed The last of us 1 with the last of us 2. I dont recommend paying full price for this game.

    The Last of Us 2 is disappointing. Naughty Dog has already carved their names into gaming history with their consistent story-driven single-player games, but this one feels uncharacteristic of previous titles. They experiment with new things and new characters, but overall it turns into a story that feels lackluster with characters who I struggle to identify with. They take interestingThe Last of Us 2 is disappointing. Naughty Dog has already carved their names into gaming history with their consistent story-driven single-player games, but this one feels uncharacteristic of previous titles. They experiment with new things and new characters, but overall it turns into a story that feels lackluster with characters who I struggle to identify with. They take interesting steps to help represent the LGBT community which is totally fine, but this kind of writing just makes them look bad.

    The performances themselves are top-notch, but the writing itself is strange. Naughty Dog just drops you four to five years into the future after the first game and you're immediately introduced to a plethora of characters. Unfortunately, we never see these characters develop much through the course of the game - most of their already-established friendship is just through a few lines of dialogue regarding their past. Every time Ellie and Dina run through a few lines of dialogue together, I'm stuck wondering "who is this person, and why do I care about her?"

    I got to see Joel and Ellie's characters bloom naturally in the original game, but this one blindsides you and forces you to engage with their dull characters. Ellie and Dina's relationship doesn't seem well-written at all; if I had gotten a chance to see their previous encounters (other than what was shown in the trailer) I think I would warm up to their relationship more. The story isn't really shown to us; rather, it's told to us through exposition-ish dialogue.

    Another thing with the characters are they seem so...different from the first game. Their personalities have completely changed to the point it sticks out like a sore thumb; you're left wondering "why did she do this?" or "why would he befriend this person?" I don't feel motivated to protect one of the newer characters introduced. With every death of my companion, I feel less and less interested in the character being killed.

    The pacing is bearable at times, but a lot of it cuts off with flashbacks and more exposition. I don't get the structure of the game; it is being far too ambitious and telling multiple stories with multiple characters at once, and attempting to solve all of their characters' story arcs within one game. It invites plot-holes and the story becomes a mess. There are way too many characters being introduced and killed off without seeing their arc complete.

    I don't watch things naturally unfold in this game - things just happen. Rather than see someone get into a fight that leaves two characters bitter about one another, a side character just talks to me about it to make me understand. Ellie's personality is so jarringly different without much rhyme of reason other than "it happened years later, so she's changed" explanation. There's this jarring disconnect between player and Ellie that takes you out of the immersion instantly.

    The gameplay isn't bad however, as almost every component from the original is improved upon. There's a new prone mode that allows me to crawl on the floor. Breaking glass and upgrading guns are satisfying. It's fun to get into these sequences where you need to sneak around an area full of infected. Running from them still gets the adrenaline pumping. The challenge is still there and it's still as fresh as ever.

    Exploration can be a chore at times. Big areas with empty spaces - that kinda jazz like Ubisoft.

    Unfortunately, due to Naughty Dog developing a game that is so story-centric, they put all of their chips on story rather than the gameplay, and it just doesn't feel right. None of these characters were written well; it's a run-of-the-mill revenge story between two factions that ultimately boils down to a bland game with zombie portions. There's plot-holes everywhere and it doesn't seem like the well-crafted game we've come to expect from Naughty Dog. Why should I play the game again if I don't care about the characters? I can see the strong bond between Joel and Ellie, but I don't see or feel the bond between Ellie and Dina, or even Ellie and her friends for that matter. I roll my eyes whenever new characters get upset.or sad.

    The game takes no step forward in exploring the actual dystopian world with the Infected. Instead, it opts to create an army of uninteresting, boring characters with their own internal issues, and tries to suture them up in one 25-30 hour long game. The story is uninspiring and is one of those cliche revenge stories you've seen a million times over.

    I do regret buying it at full-price. I'd save your money. If it were on sale for $19.99, maybe I'd consider picking it up. I don't think this kind of quality lives up to fans' expectations.

    Score is 4/10.    … Expand

    We waited 7 years to get some Agenda thrown at us. The characters dont act at all like in the first game, not because they grown as a character but because the story wants them to. This game is the worst stuff I played in the last five years.

    I don't know what to say about this game. When i played the last of us back in 2013 i was also watching the Game of Thrones. You guys may call me stupid on this comparison but i used to say Neil Druckmann is R.R. Martin of games. Because it was so beautiful that i had changed my views about how a good game should be. I am not from a very wealthy family my father was a school teacher and to earn better living he was part time home tutor. The people he used to teach were landlords and very wealthy. When i was graduate i became tutor to those kid's kids. , i used to see kids playing PS2 and i was fascinated by its graphics. i was fan of games since i was 7 years old. Big fan of KOF. My financial condition did not allow me to buy it but still after saving money I bought PS2. Played many games but one day I brought The God Of War. Oh my god what a game that was. I played 1st and 2nd . Now i was waiting for 3rd part. But unfortunately Part 3 was released on PS3 and i was way beyond my buying power furthermore there was no chance of buying pirated copy. So i watched entire game on Youtube. What a game that was !!!! what a game ... So I once again saved enough money Bought PS3 only to play God of War 3. and first game i bought was God of War 3. No matter i knew entire gameplay and story. But it was so good that i baugh it for $50.
    But as for the last of us 2 i admit i spoiled the game for me right when leaks were out. I still watched entire gameplay. I search for even a little bit thing that would force me to buy this game. But i didn't find anything apart from some very tensed moments.
    1st time Ellie goes kills everyone who never wanted Joel dead they were only ready to go because abby was there friend. Comes back home with broken nose, Jesse dead and Tommy's leg broken and losing one eye.
    2nd Time Ellie goes all the way killing people to kill her right when I was at my orgasm she left her hand and let abby go.
    WHAT THE HELL!!!!!
    If you guys are following the walking dead. People are trying to go back to their normal life by developing things. They are not only being savages or cannibals. But in the last of us 2 we didn't see hope in any one's mind that he will try to make world as it was before. You only 2 factions. many things could have been done to make this game playable or i should say buyable but you keep watching stupidity after stupidity. For eg. instead of unnecessary flash backs they could develop a gameplay of Tommy. We wouldn't mind playing as Joel's brother after watching how badass sniper he is. Shooting the guy in the head, who spits on Joel was so satisfying but it would have been more satisfying if it were we playing as Tommy. But no!! Mr Neil wanted the girls to handle the Job. But unfortunately his girls failed horrendously. Neil Should know to get a baby (Outcome) he need a dick with vagina there will be no outcome if two girls will be rubbing their Viginas with each other.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished the game and i would like to express my disappointment about the storyline.
    The story falls apart since Joel's death. A series of events begins without sense but with a clear objective, revenge. A revenge that will never happen because Naughty Dogs decided to teach us a lesson, revenge is not good, going to play the guitar is better than killing your '' father '' murderer. The problem is that time lapse between Joel's death and the journey to hunt Abby, it doesn't make sense. Everything we do until we reach Abby is meaningless because we did not meet our goal. Everything we kill on the long road does not make any sense, the behavior of the characters is unreal. I can't understand why Ellie doesn't kill Abby, I'm still looking for the answer.
    Speaking of Abby there is no point in her inclusion in the saga. Literally in this game the protagonists are women, we play with women all the time and we play with Abby, the game forces us to play with Abby and give it undeserved power and prominence.
    The missions between scenes are totally unnecessary and long to realize that the story goes from bad to worse.
    The power of women, I need to emphasize it, the game revolves around women and the vague idea of ​​"women are also strong" that develop in a shameless way. They don't mind giving us a good story they care about giving us tweet lessons from 2019.
    The end is terrible we played 5 hours to kill Abby we lost 5 hours playing throw because we are not going to kill Abby. WHY? JUST WHY? WHAT HAPPEN WITH ABBY AFTER SHE LEAVE? WHAT HAPPEN WITH ELLIE after the end? The end of a game cannot leave you with so many questions. STUPID QUESTIONS.
    The end makes you want to cry, to cry for the trash you just saw. It is so bad that it makes you want to cry. As a fan of the saga I am 20 years old and at the time I was 13 or 14 when I played the first game with great enthusiasm waiting for the next one. I met with friends to talk about the first game, we talked about its details for hours, assuming how the story will continue. And now, 7 years later we are given everything we had not asked for. The protagonist of the first story is Joel. The story should continue with Joel and end with Joel. They decided to start a meaningless path impacting the players with a totally and absolutely unnecessary and unjustified death. We have the chance to play with Joel for 10 minutes... great...
    I hope that a third part will never come because knowing that in this second they have not developed anything to the characters, rather they have taken them off, in a third part they would kill Ellie to put an overweight dark-skinned person surviving the infected. Because of course, it is not fair that any overweight person survives the infected and it is not fair that all the characters are white.
    The in-game action is minimal and static, the infected are there for you to take your time killing them add nothing to the story. The behavior of the enemies is unreal, for example, because the boy with the scar on his face does not shoot Dina when she is on the ground ... He decides to strangle her. On 3 occasions the enemies defend Ellie so that she is not killed. Come on man, that in real life would not happen even if the girl was the most beautiful in the world.
    Even if you have passed the game ask for a refund, I sincerely believe that players deserve a refund when they don't like it and absolutely can't like anything about the game. The only good thing it has are the graphics. But no one wants to pay that much money for a walk-on-the-grass simulator.
    Each video game development company has the right to develop their own video game as they wish. Like the buyers and it is hard for me to say it because it is very sad, video game lovers have the right to defend their point of view about the work done by said company. In this case Naughty Dogs has made the worst video game of all time and has given an important lesson to other developers, do not let your ideologies override the beauty of telling a story.

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