    Stayed up til midnight after waiting what feels like forever for this. The story is terrible, the writing is questionable and takes you out of the experience more often than not. I’ve avoided all the leaks so I can play it fresh but after about 12 hours in I’m just disappointed. If you loved the first, avoid this because it will just ruin a great first game. So disappointed.

    Graphics, facial expressions and gameplay are on point. The story is very weak, the narrative is bad and revolting. The characters are poorly developed and overall meaningless and expandable.

    Great game, one of the best I've ever played, if you see a lot of 0s don't listen to them. It's just a bunch of butthurt little kids that didn't like that Ellie wasn't hot

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es muy estúpido el juego poniéndose en contra de su propios personajes en escenarios irreales y con decisiones para conveniencia del guión para meter cosas Políticamente Correctas que A NADIE le interesa. Un survival que los putos Zombies y Cazadores pasan a segundo plano. Por una venganza mal hecha de un personaje horrible que nadie quiere verlo y te obligan a jugar con el. Por ultimo, si todo fuera malo el final es infumable. Tanta matanza a lo idiota para "no sabes que, te perdono que mataras al que fue mi padre, a personas cercanas a mi y que me mocharas 2 dedos". Es PATÉTICO.… Expand

    I first saw the original TLOU on Youtube, where someone had edited all of the cutscenes together into a movie. I watched it, then watched it again, then I recommended it to friends and family. That weekend, I literally went out and paid hundreds of dollars to buy a PS3 *specifically* to play that game. I’ve now beaten the original TLOU on every difficulty level. 100%. I’ve read everyI first saw the original TLOU on Youtube, where someone had edited all of the cutscenes together into a movie. I watched it, then watched it again, then I recommended it to friends and family. That weekend, I literally went out and paid hundreds of dollars to buy a PS3 *specifically* to play that game. I’ve now beaten the original TLOU on every difficulty level. 100%. I’ve read every issue of the tie-in comic. I bought the art book. I’ve watched all the interviews and behind the scenes things. I’ve read the entire Wiki. I took home the store displays and posters of the game when my local GameStop got rid of them. I’ve stanned that game to all my friends and family for years, whether or not they're gamers. I’ve watched people on Twitch speedrun it to completion, hundreds of times. TLOU is one of the best “movies” I’ve ever seen and one of the greatest video games I’ve ever played. I used to check IMDB every week or so, specifically to see if there was any news on the TV series, even after it was cancelled the first time.

    But now all of that is gone. I have zero interest in this franchise now. That's what this game did.

    I’m not going to complain about the politics of the game, because frankly, I don’t care. I just want to play video games. I like games made by creators from both sides of the political aisle and starring all varieties of protagonist. But if you want dismiss this as me being a bot or a crazy incel or whatever, you can go right ahead. The truth is that my issue is that this game forgets what TLOU is supposed to be about. Trust me, as I said, I’ve read literally everything ever released about this franchise. The original idea was to have 2 characters experience the world of the game together, and have their relationship change over the course of those events. This franchise is *about* those two characters and their relationship. That is the entire point of the original game. Neither one of them is more important than the other, they were designed to be a duo. The franchise was about these damaged people, learning to trust and love again, amid the zombie apocalypse. This game undoes all of that. It makes it pointless. It punishes you for caring about the story the original told, then it tells you that you were wrong for ever feeling it in the first place.

    I am fine with violence in games, and I’m fine with characters dying, what I’m not fine with is story choices that don’t serve the characters and characters which don’t serve the story. I’m not fine with game mechanics that were already on the verge of being outdated on the PS3 but now return in basically the same form. I’m not fine with you lying to me in your trailers, because you KNEW that I wouldn’t buy it if I knew the truth about what you were doing. I'm not fine with you completely changing everything I previously liked about this franchise: a damaged father and his surrogate daughter fighting monsters, of both the human and infected variety. You did nothing interesting to replace that. You gave me nothing to love, you only provided me with innumerable reasons to hate. Specifically, you gave me many reasons to hate this game, these characters, and this company.

    I signed up to Metacritic today *specifically* to review this game. That’s how mad it made me. That’s how badly Naughty Dog seems to misunderstand their own franchise and the reasons why people like me enjoyed the original. I'm sure there are plenty of people who will love this game. But I am not one of them. At all. I never want to see it again.

    So, this is the end of our long road together, TLOU. I think I’ll focus on franchises and creators who don’t deliberately go out of their way to make me hate them, because that’s their definition of “art.” You said "I'd rather have people passionately hate it than just be like, 'Yeah, it was OK.'" Well, it's not okay and I absolutely HATE it. So I guess you got your wish.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Far superior to the first as the critical reviews show. The story of revenge and the costs that come with it in the world of the game is bleak, depressing and very engaging and realistic. The story, mechanics, graphics and everything has been refined and improved. BUT as expected all these adult male man-babies are sooooo in thier feelings that "Social Justice Warriors" destroyed "thier" franchise and have purposefully tanked the user ratings as they said they would because thier small brains can't handle the though of lesbians or trans people in video game stories or SHOCKER - a 60+yo man who BARELY survived the 1st game dying in the sequel. It would have been very unbelievable if that character HAD survived. It was an amazing, gut wrenching and very realistic catalyst for the story to go where it went. An improvement on ALL accounts!… Expand

    A pointless exercise in brutal violence. Ellie got robbed: No real interaction with Joel, basically turned into a homicidal maniac and then ends the game alone and abandoned...basically it's a game that **** on the legacy of the first by pretending to be deep and emotional. This is the Last Jedi of video games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't even know how to start, I had no fun playing this game. My Heart feels torn to shreds by this game. Abby is the most horrible person you'll ever meet and the game forcing me to play as her was just heart breaking the torture scene and killing Joe wasn't good at all.
    Ellie's relationship with a girl I didn't care for but their dialogue felt like they were just there to collect a paycheck. By far the only good scenes in the game are of Ellie growing up and being with Joel. Wouldn't recommend you buy it if you want to preserve the good memory of the first game. It wasn't even fun    … Expand

    This game is easily the biggest let down I ever had in gaming. The story and writing is absolute garbage. All the critic reviews were clearly paid for it is sickening.

    Do yourself a favor and just play the first game and pretend this one does not exist

    Good graphics, but the game is full of problems and a bad story. As much as the expert critic is trying to impose that the game is good, this is not what we see.
    In reality, it is very bad.

    The story however is pretty bad. Fitting two stories in the span of one game makes everything seem rushed and fast paced, not allowing one to enjoy the game at all. Joel, an experienced survivor and fighter, got done in so easily I thought it was a joke.

    Could not finish the game.    … Expand

    Heartbroken, that's how I feel. Character assassination to the highest of levels. Killing Joel would have been fine, killing him this way? Making one of the most badass characters in gaming history look like a **** moron? **** hell. Ellie going on this quest for revenge, killing all those people and she spares the most despicable one because of a vision of Joel. The man who would have not only killed them, but also tortured them if she was the one that died. And what is the moral of the story? This franchise is dead. I just hope they won't make more games. It hurts seeing one of my favourite games being burned to the ground.    … Expand

    This video game does not deserve a 100, what the hell do those who rated it so highly think? It doesn't deserve 35 either, its graphics are very good, its soundtrack, and its gameplay is much better than the first part, but its history is like a bad season of THE WALKING DEAD, for me it deserves:

    The 3 is purely for graphics and the hard work done by the Devs (suffering crunch). The imagery is nice, pretty much like all games nowadays; however, the game is very poorly written/directed and bleak, unintentionally so. There'll be plenty of copies in CEX next week. Just replay the original.

    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]
