    The Last of Us was a phenomenal game from start to finish. It had a good overarching story and a theme. However, The Last of Us Part II lack anything that was established in the first entry. Furthermore, the game makes you follow a strict timeline that leaves you asking more questions than getting answers. The first entry had a nig dilemma and theme, sometjing the sequel lacked.

    horrendous story line and indescribable amount of disappointment of the story. The graphics give it a 1 but you can't have a game with horrible plot. This is the equivalent of having a 3 course meal but the meals consist of a grain of rice for each. The story has no fulfillment. No satisfaction except that the game is over and I now will play the last of us remastered to bleach my eyes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay and the story was fine. The reason why I chose to give this game a bad review is because of Naughty Dog's false advertising to make us believe that Joel was alive in their trailer with the fake scene with him.
    Joel being killed off is hardly an issue to me. If anything, they could obviously not be accused of fan service because of what they did and we could sympathize with Ellie's anger throughout most of the game. However, Naughty Dog obviously chose to change the story last minute and chose to kill him off after releasing a trailer showing Joel being alive and joining Ellie, which explains the multiple delays.
    Instead, what we have is Naughty Dog deceiving us with false advertising from their trailers and Neil Druckmann had the audacity to mock our massive negative reviews for the game.
    Even though I've heard that spoilers were released, I've chosen to avoid them, like how spoilers are occasionally released for other games, movies, and TV shows.
    Naughty Dog should be investigated by the FDA and should be sued for false advertising because I'm sure there are many of us who have chosen to not see the spoilers and who are also upset that Naughty Dog sold us a lie.    … Expand

There is no game that is absolutely perfect with no flaws nor is there a game that is absolute trash with nothing to like whatsoever. Having said that, i believe TLOU2 is a polarizing game, it will cater to those gamers who likes the gameplay first and doesn't care much for the story, while those that cares for the story will more than likely hate it, ESPECIALLY those gamers that have played the 1st one and was in love with the storyline and character development that made it so popular. fast forward several years later, TLOU2 could have been a masterpiece had they not shifted the story to a revenge themed plot and remained true to the global pandemic theme that is much better suited for the game. The sequel had a ton of potential to be great but it's like ND pushed aside the infestation filled narratives of the game and forced a revenge plot on the gamers that most people find dull and filled with plot holes. Obviously the graphics and other technical stuff was a vast improvement on the original but of course it came out years after the original, problem is, TLOU1 was a story-driven masterpiece of a game and the gameplay was secondary for people who experienced it, it was the story that has driven most of us to continue and see what will transpire next for Joel and Ellie, and then having the story fall flat on the 2nd game was for sure a massive disappointment for the people that has been waiting for the next chapter from the 1st game's main protagonists. i hope this serves as a lesson to ND, if you want to try new ideas on gaming, make it on a new game and don't force it on an already established title. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.… Expand

The main character of the first game on the front cover of the last of us 1. Dies in the first 2 hours. The gameplay feels repetitive and slow. All that to make way for a stupid revenge arc that doesn’t work. Ellie really lets Abby get away scotch-free. Also Joel would never trust anyone that easily. Seven years for this garbage.

    Ainda que tecnicamente o jogo seja incontestavelmente bom, sua narrativa foi destruída, cheia de furos. Com certeza o jogo ganhará vários prêmios pelos quesitos técnicos, e isso é muito merecido, mas a história em si é lamentável.

    Why did it have to be like this. It had so much potential with the story, and to have it thrown away for what seems like some sort of "agenda" is terrible. Leave agendas like that behind and just make games that are entertaining, funny, fun to control, and with a good ending; not some statement.

Why would you cheap kill the main character that fans has loved for years with a new character that no one even cares about? Disappointing. Such a waste of potential.

Other than the story, the graphics is outstanding and gameplay mechanics is wonderful but that doesn't make a game a 10/10 without great writing.… Expand

While the graphics are amazing and the gameplay, if you liked the first games gameplay, is good, the story is just so maddeningly bad, that it doesnt matter how good the combat is because i cant enjoy this game at all after a certain moment in the beginning of the story. Im sure yall already know what happened, but im not about to spoil it. I dont expect EVERY game to have perfectly written dialogue, perfect acting, or perfect characters, but this game does something with its main story that has and always will be unforgivable. It ruins the first game. So, if you liked the first game because of Joel and Ellies relationship, then avoid this game like the plague. But if you dont care about that, which is kind of weird since that was what the first game was all about, then i...guess...give this a try? Anyways, its a solid 3/10 for me.

I also wasn't a huge fan of LoU1 either because it also felt very bland gameplay wise. A decent story and amazing graphics can't save this game from it's bland gameplay and constant dark tone. If they had more hopeful moments the game would be much higher on my rating scale, however it doesn't. As such I feel a 4/10 is a perfect spot. The game is below average in all respects other than graphics, and that's what makes me disappointed in it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really waited 7 years to play as Joel for about 5ish minutes, watch him get cucked, then play as Ellie for around half of the game. Then proceed to try to connect to Abby, a psychopath that the game really wants you to get attached to, and a child with no personality, and all of her **** friends for **** 5-6 hours while I really just want to get back to playing as Ellie, the person I payed to play as. Then get forced to try to kill Ellie while playing as Abby. I mean seriously? This game really wants me to be connected enough to a dry, unlikable character to the point where I am willing to beat the **** out of one of my favorite characters of all time. What a **** joke. The weird part of the game is though, is that there are really stellar, standout moments. The one that immediately comes to mind is Ellie's birthday museum visit, which is so well written that it really feels like something out of The Last Of Us 1. It's like all of the talented writers exclusively worked on the flashback scenes.

    It baffles me how a game with such a weak and unsatisfyingly plot and ending can also have really great moments ( and they all pretty much happen exclusively between Joel and Ellie). Maybe it was a bad Idea to kill off Joel right away.

    The ending is extremely weak and underwhelming, having the wimpiest fight between a hurt Ellie and a malnourished Abby. After challenging Abby to fight, Ellie stupidly puts her fingers in Abby's mouth, causing Ellie to have 2 fingers to be bitten off. Then she let's Abby go. What was the whole point of going to find Abby then?

    What a horrible ending for Ellie's character. She made it clear that she doesn't want to end up alone in TLOU1, and ends up losing Joel, Dina, and Jesse's Baby (Potato was his name I think).
    She isn't even able to carry one Joel's memory via the Guitar, as she can't play it due to her missing fingers.
    And worst of all, after all of that she just **** let's Abby live,

    What's the moral of this story? Murdering hundreds of people is a-okay except for if you're seeking revenge? I don't **** know.

    Extremely disappointing to see large media outlets blame these low user ratings on people being "Trans-phobic, Homophobic, or Sexist" to distract the facts that this game is nowhere near the quality of the first game.

    A damn **** shame.

    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.
