    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love the first game, and have replayed it many, many times. Unfortunately, tLoU2 is a complete mockery of its lovingly crafted predecessor. The story is poorly written, it's shoved to bursting with hollow, unlikeable characters and tried to make you regret EVER enjoying the first game, because apparently, everything we did was abhorrent. Abby's inclusion as a playable protagonist was unneeded and insulting, and she would have worked far better as the antagonist. I don't need to say anything on Joel, as everyone agrees what happened was disgusting. This was an insult to the first game and to all of the fans who loved it. I hated this game, and I hope the people who worked on it are ashamed of themselves. Because we are very disappointed in you. This useless pander pron gets a very well deserved 0.… Expand

    Not every game needs a sequel, and the ending of The Last of Us Part 1 made it seem as if it was one of the games that could stand alone.

    The gameplay was pretty good. Expect to see some mechanics from Uncharted 4 in here with the rope, but overall it's typically the same game mechanics from TLOU1. Very satisfying to do melee kills, but generally I think it holds up for 2020. I would've liked to see some evolution with the stealth mechanic because by and large that's how I played for the first.

    In regards to the story, if you were to rate this game by itself and completely exclude the first game, it probably gets a 7/10. But with any sequel in any medium, we hinge our expectations off the standards set by the first game. It had a lot to live up to, and ultimately it fell short.

    The best approach here may have been to do TLOU2 with brand new main characters that overlapped with Joel and Ellie. What has happened here I considered a travesty with how our main characters were handled. It really hurts to play.

    I can safely say I am done with TLOU2, and will be a little more weary of the next story-driven Naughty Dog game, especically with Druckmann attached.    … Expand

    Horrible. Sacrifices story. Characters chemistry is horrible. Feels manufactured. I also hate how you can’t criticize this game without a swarm of SJW’s trying to get you fired for simply disagreeing with them.

    Why do users need to be mentally stressed while playing games?
    Will it make sense for me to be stressed in the game I paid for?
    If a story writer says political correctness through a famous game, should all users who play the game have to approve it?

How do you want me to play as Abby and try to kill Ellie in the theater. You are trying to make me feel for Abby but we don't care she is the one who killed the most beloved character in the game. The end is soooooo BAD!! I want to forget about this game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For those who think all of the low score reviews are because of the SJW thing, they are not. Killing a beloved character, that acted out of character and not giving the satisfying ending to hunt down the person who killed him and not only that but actually having to play that character, is insulting! It is as if they wanted to SPIT in the face of the fans who LOVED the first part.
    The reviews are not based upon gameplay / graphics, we all know that this isn't the problem, the story is. Killing off Joel could have been done in a better way if they had to remove him from the game.
    Shame on you Druckmann! You are not a genius writer, you are a showoff with no real talent.
    This could have been the greatest game in the decade, but you screwed it up.    … Expand

    I hate to say but the gameplay and graphic is good but the storyteller is horrible and the way of storytelling is pretty much hurting the fan feeling who is reaelly enjoy story from the first game like this?

    The last of us story is already finished this series doesn't need the 2nd game if storyteller is horrible like this it's should be enough for me to give only 0 point

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was honestly so disappointing let me start of with the fact that Joel dies within the first hour of the game, let me clarify Joel dying is not the reason why we hate this game so much but because you kill him in the worst possible way and then force us to play his killer and try and make us sympathize for her not to mention how Joel and Tommy were so out of a character Joel in tlou never trusted anyone and would kill anyone he would come across and all of a sudden he saves Abby tells his name and where he lives bs!!!! The game also has very unnecessary scenes such as Owen and Abby I was left traumatized after seeing that. The time pace of the game is also very messy and confusing and the ending is absolute garbage. Shame on you naughty dog for wasting 7 years to make a stupid game… Expand

    It was inevitable that Joel had to die at one point, but this was just so poorly handled. The story was boring and you’re forced to play as a character you hate and have no interest in (and how was it so buff in a world where starvation and lack of resources are problems). And the story had the most unsatisfying ending ever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely and utterly horrible, this game has absolutely NOTHING going for it, not even the graphics nor the gameplay can save it.

    - Graphics: Looks good, does it look brilliant? NO IT DOESN’T. There’s A LOT of PS4 games that look better, nothing about the graphics is special. The facial expressions however feel so horrible and exaggereted at some points, I am literally baffled as to how the first game managed to pull off facial expressions way better than this one. The original game was more impressive graphicswise considering how weak the PS3 actually was.
    - Gameplay: I am not sure if it’s just me, the gameplay is the same as in the first game, this is completely okay. What’s not okay is how dragged out and boring this game gets. The introduction is just a horribly paced build up to an unnecessary sex scene, the rest of the game doesn’t feel any better. Just slow and overly long.

    - the story, oh boy don’t get me even started. Everything is a complete 0. Some of the worst characters I have ever seen in fiction. Ellie is nothing more like the loveable daughter figure. Her entire personality is just nothing, it’s unreasonable, irrirrational andshe makes highly questionable decisions. She accomplishes basically nothing and her motives are never even questioned. On the other hand Abby is being forced down your throat as this sympathetic character who is basically an angel after comitting the most brutal murder in the entire game. Abyy’s character arc is just nothing, never does she reflect on her revenge, never does it influence her character, never is there a growth. Joel’s drath is a mere plot device to kickstart an awful story. It has no long lastinf effecfs. All the characters are forgetable, why would we ever care about Jesse or Owen?Never is their death ever even mentioned again. “All the characters are equal in this universe” but somehow Joel’s death is the reason for a freaking war but Jesse, nah who cares about Jesse. None of the characters undergo any deeper character arc, Neil **** forgot how to write sympathetic characters so he has to pull of the “OMG she’s pregnant card” LITERALLY THREE TIMES! The game is just a gory **** that has nothing to offer. You loves the incredibly powerful bonda and developments in the first game? This game is nothing for you. The game has nothing to do with hate it’s just a very very poorly executed generic revenge story. The easily worst thing is that it tries so hard to pretend it’s not a generic revenge story. It’s so stigmatized in western culture at this point that it’s unbearable. Take Old Boy as an example of a very original and incredibly executed revenge story. That was 20 years ago.TIMEShighlyquestionableunrelatable    … Expand

    Without giving anything away this sequel is a gargantuan disappointment. Games are more than the sum of its parts, and the parts here are overwhelmingly bad.

    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.
