    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The storyline is a total B.S. I am ok with Abby's line. The finale is exactly the same as death stranding. If you want to appeal fans from part 1 you never want to arrange stories like this. I register an account on Metacritic to write this. I would have bought this game for the gameplay and art assets, but NOTHING ABOUT THE STORY. I would give negative scores if I can. :(((((… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am giving this game a 0 because of the lies told by Naughty Dog. This company manipulated their fan base and lied in order to sell copies of their game. They altered trailers to trick us into thinking we we’re going to be playing alongside Joel throughout the game, making him look younger. I understand that companies sometimes have trailers that are misleading but not outright lie to their fan base about you playing a character that actually dies in the first three hours of the game. Neil Druckmann also lied to us saying that Ellie will be the only playable character when in fact 50% of the game you are playing Abby. We don’t care that you kill off a beloved character, we care HOW you do it. Unfortunately, Neil got too into his head thinking he could do no wrong that he drove his beautiful story into the ground.… Expand

    After Uncharted 4 showed us how boring and badly scripted a video game can be, this hot garbage was no surprise. In The Last Of Us 1, everyone knew that it was the best story ever, with passable gameplay. Now the gameplay features endless walking simulations and arbitrarily climbable objects leading to frustration, and the same clunkyness as the original.

Now about the story... the story isn't just bad, it's a common sense, "suffering is bad" idea that shows "there's two sides to every story", and it's a story that NO ONE wanted to hear. Forcing the player to play as that blond ox for half the game was a horrendous decision. We all know that we kill people in games so that there can be a game in the first place, and now ND thinks they're gonna show us that this might not work out in real life?? THANKS GENIUSES At the end of the game I was so numb and disconnected I just wanted it to be over. At least this will be the last ND game I ever have to buy.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains spoilers. The Last of Us 2 is a true testament to how not to make a sequel for a game. While gameplay received better animations and such, it mostly remained the exact same and becomes monotonous and predictable over the 25+ hour story. While it’s not bad, you'd hope for a much bigger upgrade or overhaul of crafting and other gameplay mechanics, but many remained completely untouched. But the gameplay isn’t what causes this game to be a failure in my opinion, because that’s not what people really play TLOU for anyways. People play for the characters and story, which is nothing short of disappointing and misguided in this game. The utter lack of respect toward previous or even new characters prevents the player from getting invested in them, and the game fails to utilize the one relationship the player was already invested in going into the game. Instead they demolish that relationship, and never really show it getting back to anything of what it used to be. Most other characters in this game are stagnant and replaceable, and while they have good performances, fail to make me care about them in a meaningful way. That is, until they get brutally murdered on a quest for revenge. By the end of the game I was so numb to violence nothing shocked me anymore, and I’m not sure what the game was even trying to say through all this violence and misery. What I do know is that I feel devastated for Ellie and deep hatred for another character. I truly hope Naughty Dog lets this franchise die in the pit they dug for it. I absolutely loved the first game, but this train wreck wants me to feel depressed for nothing. Some of the lessons it tries to teach seem so stupidly simple I asked myself if I was even hearing it right. All I can hear now is the ringing in my ears after listening to one of my favorite games get pillaged and massacred in the name of “Subverted Expectations”. Do not recommend… Expand

    Poor writing and politics shoulnt be in a Videogame. No emotional connection to Side characters like im the first Game with Bill and Henry or Sam. Just a Non sense Story with a bunch of Politics

    Gameplay is barely an improvement to the original. Graphics are phenomenal. Worst story I have ever played in my entire life. This garbage is what you get when a studio prioritizes a juvenile moral “lesson” over the connections fostered with characters that made the first “The Last of Us” so phenomenal. DO NOT BUY.

    The single most terrible game to ever exist in modern history. From the buildup of arguably the best first of a series game, to an absolutely devastating crash in the next, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

    The epic failure of narrative ruin the whole game. It wasted all the efforts from staff who did a great job with a real enthusiasm for the game.

    I've been playing games since my Atary1040, and was expecting much much more from this game.
    TLOU had a great story, and made a gr8 foundation for a sequel.
    And you (Naughty Dog) gave me this??? The one responsible should quit his/hers job (or be fired).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros
    - The graphics are amazing 10/10
    - Combat is also really good because you see how they tweaked the fighting from the first game to part II and how they added many more things,which i think create a good gaming experience. (at least for me it did) 9/10
    - Amazing cast 10/10

    Cons
    - Joel being killed off for shock value.
    I personally think that they should've killed him in part 3 or maybe not at all,because i just think that the whole idea of killing off the main protector is so overused nowadays in these post-apocalyptic games.
    - This game is full of forgettable characters
    - Character development that was developed in the first game was thrown out the trash in part II
    - They forced us to sympathize with abby
    - So many plot holes, like way to much
    - There were one to many parts that were unwanted and unnecessary
    - The ones who wrote the game apparently forgot what made the first game a masterpiece.The Last of Us isn't The Last of Us without Joel or Ellie.
    - Waited 7 years to just see one of the most beloved characters of the gaming industry tortured to death and then we see our little girl Ellie all alone and sad.Which is her worst fear by the way

    Ok,so i am gonna to stop yapping,sorry for the long read
    in Conclusion I think that there are good things about this game and a lot of bad things about this game as you can see.It killed me to see such a good story and characters go to waste.I am so disappointed in part II.The way they handled the original characters that we grew to know and love was just messed up,but i also wanna send a big thanks to everyone who put a lot of effort in this game.I think for me The Last of Us ended with the masterpiece that was the first one.    … 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]
