    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quite possibly the worst sequel to an amazing first game, ever made. Piss poor story. Whoever wrote this needs to stop writing for games for the rest of their career. Absolutely ruined the good name of the last of us. The thing that made the first game so good was the relationship between Joel and Ellie and how they formed a Father Daughter bond. I could have written anything half decent and it would have been better than this trash...… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No fun. Used to enjoy Naughty Dog games cause they had some humor. Killing your favorite character up close, clubbing his brains out with a golf club disgusting and shocking. Ultimately, 30 hours of boring, same-old-same-old stuff we've seen before. I hope Naughty Dog dies along with this game. Ugh! Triple Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me try to explain it briefly

    In last of us 1, the whole thing is about Ellie and Joel and you grow to really love and care about them

    In last of us 2, they kill off Joel in the first 2 hours. Then, they make you play as his killer (Abby) for 10 hours, as you try to kill Ellie. Then, you play as Ellie for 10 hours trying to kill Abby. You kill hundreds of people and dogs trying to do this. Then, after all that, Ellie doesn’t kill Abby, and nearly all the characters are dead, abandoned Ellie, or are crippled by injuries. The final shot is Ellie trying to play Joel’s guitar, but failing to because Abby bit off two of her fingers

    You can’t make that **** up

    And people have been waiting for 7 years for this    … Expand

    The game itself has beautiful graphics but lacks the almost recycled gameplay of the first, identical Npc's and the ending is simply disappointing. Do yourself a favor and invest your money in another thing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bad writing. Bad story. Bad ending. Rukned the amazing experience that The last of us 1 was for me. Good job. 1/10.

    They say Joel deserved to die because he killed so many people. Who cares about morality in post apocalyptic game? Guess what, Joel killed for his daughter, just like how abby killed for her father. People can forgive abby but not Joel. That's stupid. Also, if they had even TRIED to make abby empathisable IN THE LEAST or relatable or likable or showed that she had an absolutely legit reason to kill an old and popular character, it would have been understood. But no she just appears from some where and goes, "I gotta kill him because he killed my father," and the player doesn't even get to relate with her pain or her suffering missing her father. You are SUPPOSED to feel bad for her, rather than actually relating with her missing her father and wanting revenge. Morality can f off in this world, unlike how everyone is saying, because its a post apocalypse and everyone will do whatever to survive. In the game as Ellie you also kill a ton of people. Does Ellie deserve to be curbstomped by some guys now?

    Also, I have seen a bunch of people who claim to have played only the first 4 or 5 hours proudly saying that they like it, and are also criticising players who leave a bad review but have finished the whole game. Automatically discredited. Play the whole game first, then leave a review.

    Joel isn't properly given the redemption he deserved in this game. Just because some didn't like Joel and left a good review doesn't mean theirs are more valuable than the ones that liked him and have left a negetive one. Leave your own experience. Don't criticise others because they didn't have a similar experience with the characters as you did. Everyone has different sentiments attached to the same game. Calling us angry men because we didn't like what happened with Joel and how his value was drowned over some needless plot channeling is a bad move. Get yourself fixed. Just because you disliked him doesnt mean he deserved to be forgotten and his value diminished after his death. The gamers who liked him and held more worth of him in their hearts deserved a better account of him, and our opinions are just as valuable as yours.

    I also would like to point out how you think every bad review is a result of review bombing but every good one is legit. Coping much? Next time, make a good game rather than trying to desperately and shamelessly escape criticism after having made a total dumpster fire.    … Expand

    Worst game I've ever had the displeasure of playing basically ruins the previous game by trying to tell an "enlightened" view of violence while being the ones who made the game that way. I'm sad that this did so poorly because no game developer will ever attempt this twist after this tragedy.

    Technically, it's a great game, but Last of Us is a series that was unique to its story. The story of TLOU part II is a big disappointment, I definitely do not recommend it to the fans of the first part

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As most people on here, I am really disappointed with this game, especially as it has literally been the game I have looked forward to the most in years.

    Positives:

    Either way I'll start off with the positives, the graphics are stunning and the music and general environment you're playing in certainly holds up to what I've been expecting from Naughty Dog. That's really the only reason, why I'm even rewarding this game with any points. Also there are some new mechanics to the gameplay although it is mostly the same as in the original.

    Negatives:

    You start off in the game and the game starts off very quietly until they kill off Joel, which is in itself already quite a bad decision. Killing off one of the players' most beloved characters for shock value is really not the best decision. Especially as Joel had barely made an appearance in the game before his brutal murder. Ellie goes on to find the killer, Abby and basically goes on a revenge trip together with Dina, her girlfriend. After Joel's death I was quite shocked and already had lost some of the appetite to even continue the game. But after a short break I decided to continue playing regardless. I was determined to kill Abby, the person who killed Joel. After getting about halfway through the game Abby suddenly breaks into their safehouse and Jesse, another side character who I had grown to like was again killed off for pure shock value in a very distasteful manner. Before knowing the outcome of that event it switches to Abby, the person you just really hate, like seriously, I don't know if I've ever hated a character more in a video game. So now you're supposed to play as the villain and get a little bit of backstory as to why she was so obsessed with Joel. Alright he killed her father, but do you really think that would make me suddenly like Abby? No I still hate her, like many people considering the reviews I've already read.

    Making the player play the game again through her point of view was a really bad decision and also what ultimately killed off my intention of seeing through the game. I played through the first couple of hours of Abby's story, but I will never start liking her and I feel like Naughty Dog greatly miscalculated how easy it would be to convince us of her. Also the characters around her are all also either unlikeable or just forgettable. Which is also a perfect way to describe this game. Naughty Dog ruined the series by making a story as bad as this one and I don't even know if I'm going to finish the game. It's a shame as this is the first time I have never been disappointed this much by a game and considering it came from Naughty Dog, a company I always trusted, that's even worse.

    If you want my advice, don't buy this game. You'd get more enjoyment out of just replaying the first game, which was truly a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Really Neil. As a member of the LGBTQ community I am appalled that this is what passes for storytelling these days. EVEN I can see the virtue signaling and after the reveal of Ellie being a lesbian in the DLC for the first game I thought we would actually get some sort of inclusive loving moment between her and her lover. No we get this instead: and what did we get? 1/10    *sighs*

    No we get this instead: and what did we get?

    1/10 Gameplay - they didn't change this much from the first game, 7 years later, this really does just feel like chapter 2, not a new game but the same game with more story being told.

    0/10 - Story.... what in the actual...... I am not kidding, the story is a disjointed pandering mess. People need to STOP listening to twitter and STOP listening to Anita. It's time we remove these cancers that are frankly tearing down our communities and the goodwill we have been working on for the last 60 years. Then when you had the actual opportunity to have an inclusive sex scene in the game, you choose to make a slightly rapey straight scene, that was not touching, that was not at all endearing (this is different than something intended for erotic purpose)? LITERALLY WTF were you thinking?

    7/10 - Graphics, literally the only redeeming factor this game has is how good it looks and how smooth the animations are... for the time it took and the progress since, this could have been much better.

    Seriously I want my money back. I should never have bought this game and frankly OFFENDED at the way it treats LGBTQ issues/ellie's relationship. It's an outright INSULT to the LGBTQ community.

    Harvey Milk didn't die for Anita Sarkessian to RUIN the LGBTQ movement's progress with her faux feminist -give me money- agenda.

    Side note: Metacritic keeps erroring out my response here. Are they intentionally blocking low reviews of the game?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Графика и геймплей 10/10. Были выжаты самые последние соки из PS4. Сюжет 7/10 Серая мораль, которая так хороша была в первой части, в новой The last of us 2 трансформировалась в то, что не хочется играть. И это не значит, что игра плоха. В качестве самостоятельного произведения и продукта это безусловно очень достойная история, которая определено имеет место быть, однако со стороны игрока, сюжет очень тяжел для игры. Это не RPG и ни какая другая история, где мы можем отыгрывать самого себя, свои поступки, здесь мы видим и переживаем все глазами Элли и Эбби. Всеми силами игра хочет заставить нас начать сопереживать Эбби, показать, что люди находятся с обеих сторон , нет добра и зла. НО, в самом начале повествования Эбби убивает персонажа, С которым мы так свыклись, которому сопереживали, и после этого всеми средствами нас уговаривают, нам показывают, что вот его убийца вприцнипе не такой уж и злой, да и вообще вот вы ее друзей убиваете, тогда чем вы лучше ? Почему нельзя было просто отпустить и насладиться жизнью с Томми, Джесси, Диной и своими остальными знакомыми/друзьями? Тогда вопрос аналогичный можно задать и Эбби, разве нет ? Какие бы ни были аргументы за данного персонажа и как бы нас не убеждали - нет. Это не сближает нас, игроков, с человеком, который убил Джоела изуверски, Джесси. Нет, нельзя сопереживать этому человеку, я не могу понять его осознать. Она убила симпатичных мне персонажей и что, что вот она такая же как все, у неё своя жизнь, у неё погиб отец из за Джоела. Это не заполняет чашу равновесия на весах той боли, что она причиняет не только Элли, но и конкретно нам игрокам. И то, что Элли отказывается ее убить в конце - сюжетный промах, который мог бы вытянуть историю. Довершить мест Элли, даже превратив ее в монстра. Снова происходит то, чего не ждут игроки: в первой части мы все хотим спасти мир доставить Элли и вакцину выработать - но в итоге Джоел убивает всех и спасает Элли. Сейчас же мы все дорогу хотим мести и не получаем ее. Одинаковый сюжетный трюк дважды провернуть не удалось, и если бы наоборот Элли убила, отомстила - это смотрелось бы более уместно и более непредсказуемо. Мы бы получили ужасное будущее для девушки, что было бы куда интереснее. Как бы мне не оправдывали поступки Эбби, они ужасны и не вытянут ее человечность. И как бы не убеждали фанатов, никому Эбби не понравится… Expand

Es increible que exista gente que defienda lo indefendible. la historia escupe en los personajes principales y destruye lo que tanto trabajo les costo crear con el primer juego. no queda mas que pensar que este juego nunca existio y seguir con nuestra vida.

    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]
