    Left me disappointed and frustrated. I stopped playing after Seattle. All characters are detestable even Ellie. Story is just awful when compared to the first game. The first one is a journey. The second one is basic.

    It’s what you make it out to be. I didn’t enjoy it. I feel there were inconsistencies in the storyline and out of character Conveniences. I loved the first one and it’s DLC. But this. I wish it never happened. TLOU was my favourite game of all time. I was looking forward to the sequel.
    I wish it went differently. I wish Ellie rolled up her sleeves and went searching for the fireflies.    … Expand

The game is really disappointing, the game is visually beautiful, the only plus to a very negative game, but that doesn't make up for the horrible story. Just two hours into the game, you will be very disappointed, as you switch from your beloved characters from the first game to a confused individual that only wanted revenge cause of daddy issues. You are forced to play a Ma'am, the most unliked character possible, with a horrible story, no arch, and one of your beloved characters that isn't killed, by the way all men die in the game, is the villain. Abby wins in the end with no downside, it really speaks to the woke mess of a game this is. My advice, don't waste your money on this garbage, once you open it, you can't return it, and trust me, once you open it, you will wish you hadn't.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a big fan of this game and I have finished many times since I bought the last game.

    But each time i found the script wrong and wrong. joel did not deserve such a simple and brutal death.And also ellie's behavior has been shown very differently but still my favorite character is ellie. I officially hated abby I still think how he didn't die. I am so hateful to this end, I wish ellie was happy if only she was with dina. I'm so sorry for everything but the visuals were really amazing. and the only reason rate it high is visuals because it's a terrible end. Also, I do not want to say the name of the beloved screenwriter, I am very angry with him. To have sympathy and empathy for Abby, she had to exist since the first game, and when her father opposed the scalpel and joel had to protect herself and ellie. And I want to say that Abby got a lot from Ellie. When I finished the game, I said everything was in vain. the visuals are amazing, but the story is garbage.    … Expand

By doing so, you collapsed two of the greatest characters in video games and created a half-baked story that seems like it's only goal is to try and hurt the gamer, but hey, it looks nice and sounds cool so you get a 10/10. This was a story with none of what made the first game special, instead it simply tried to drive the plot forward with forced shock value, and in the end, I guess none of this pain we all endured even mattered.… Expand

    ND had a good narrative where they left LOU1, they could have capatalized on that and maybe gone with a different approach, instead they used same old cliche formula of revenge.......what about the vaccine? What about ridding the world of zombies????

    It's not bots bombing this game, media are blind to real problem here. This game is divisive, they killed a beloved character for nothing only for excuses to put an agenda. I simply can't support this crap.

Oh man, this game is such a shame, to everything the first game delivered on, They kill of Joel early on in the gameplay, and want you to feel sad for the girl they make you play through half the story, "Abby." There's nothing wrong with killing off big characters, if done correctly, but here it was clearly not the best of writing, very lacking. in the first game Joel even says never trust strangers, and never tell them your name, guess this game takes place in an alternate dimension or something because he does exactly that right off the bat. Later in the story They give you the perspective of Abby's dad which was the doctor Joel killed in the first game, the doctors logic was rather flawed they even show this he, has a discussion with a coworker about how he would have to kill Ellie to make the cure, and he doesn't even think twice he instantly wants to kill her regardless of Ellies, or Joels thoughts on the matter, he's asked if he would do the same if it was his daughter several times, and he still wants to proceed basically ignoring anyone else's concerns, it's borderline pyscotic. The writing and pacing is pretty atrocious i would expect better from TLOU devs considering the first game, but i guess that wasn't a priority. Combat is decent, but pretty repetitive at times, but not even the best combat can save a poor story especially in a game where good writing is to be expected. Honestly this game would have been better of never leaving production, and not ruining TLOU original game's glory, I feel bad for the people that were more invested into this game than i was, and now have to live with this shameful story that i wish i could just forget to be honest. I understand that everyone has different opinions, but critics giving this game 9/10, or 10/10 just to get on Sonys good side is pretty disgusting, and the same can be said about the Awards, and Rankings i mean the fact that on this site it says it's the best ps4 game of 2020 is quite the jest, gotta keep big corporate Sony happy right? With this i say good bye to TLOU's life it had a great first game, and was completely destroyed by the second game. Sorry hardcore TLOU fans, and sorry for anyone else that has to live with the unfortanute reminder of this disaster. Gameplay, = 5/10 Scenery = 9 /10, Story = Not Priority.… Expand

The gameplay was just disappointing and not as captivating as the first one. I’m trans myself and sometimes I boast how proud I am to be, but not once during this godforsaken game did they stop shoving propaganda down my mouth. I love it when games put in diversity but this game seemed to be centered around it. I hope the developers understand that our genders are not something that should be used as a selling point in games. I know my name sounds like I’m some internet troll, but I beg you to please take my opinion and improve your next game with it. I do appreciate that you are thinking of the lgbt community though.… Expand

    I hated this game, but I'm going to give naughty dog the benefit of the doubt and assume that is exactly what they wanted. Well, they were successful. The story of the last of us 2 is uncomfortable, violent and tragic. It follows Ellie as she descends down a path of vengeance, and the player is there for every bloody moment of it.

    My problems with the game begin with the moral line that    I hated this game, but I'm going to give naughty dog the benefit of the doubt and assume that is exactly what they wanted. Well, they were successful. The story of the last of us 2 is uncomfortable, violent and tragic. It follows Ellie as she descends down a path of vengeance, and the player is there for every bloody moment of it.

    My problems with the game begin with the moral line that is painted in the first game, where killing is necessary to survive in a post apocalyptic world. The first game created the definition of the moral grey area that comes with survival, but the last of us 2 not only crosses this line, it leaps over it and does a little dance to taunt you. The game is simply tragic, and not in an Othello kind of way. Rather the game feels like it is playing with the emotions of its fans with no payoff. The only purpose in Ellie's story I could draw by the time the credits rolled was a theme that has been told over and over again in many other forms of media, and honestly the theme had no place in the follow-up to a game about hope.

    Playing the last of us 2 has ruined the last of us 1 for me. The original game used the main antagonists of itself as a metaphor for its story. The firefly's shared the motto "When you are lost in the darkness, look for the light". In the last of us 1, Ellie was the light. The last of us 2 takes this beautiful theme and burns it in front of you, forcing you take it all in as everything you loved about the first game is stripped away. As a stand alone story, the last of us 2 is beautifully written and a feat of story telling, but as a sequel to one of the last generations most beloved games this is unnecessarily cruel.

    The gameplay of the Last of us 2 is an improvement over the original. It is still just as fun and intense, with a few small additions to the gameplay that add variety, such as new guns and toys for the player to craft and utilise in creative ways. There is not too much to say about the gameplay component other than if you enjoyed the last of us 1 purely for the gameplay, then you will me more than satisfied here.

    Despite the story, the atmosphere, sound and level design of this game provide for some of the most beautiful scenarios I have seen on in generation of consoles. Just like how the first game felt like you were playing on a next generation console early, this experience is no different.

    I can praise the last of us 2 on its gameplay and atmosphere all day, which if I didn't mention, it nailed, but I played this game for its story. The first game left me feeling empty, as I wanted to continue following Joel and Ellie's story and felt empty without them. This game did the same, but instead of wanting the game to continue I was left wishing it never happened. I wish that the continuation of Joel and Ellie's story was left up to my own imagination, as was originally intended. At the end of the day, I I would encourage you to play the game and form your own opinion, however be warned that the bigger the fan you are, then the bigger the letdown this will be.    … Expand

You don't introduce a new character, let her get saved by Joel, who is well established and one of the two most beloved characters, then let the new character murder him in the most horrific way possible. And as if that wasn't already enough, you make me play as her, to then try and kill the the other established and most beloved character.

    My only sliver of hope was that Ellie makes it back home and atleast lives happily ever after with Dina and JJ, but naaah, you had to take that from her, too.
    Then to throw ghostpeppers on the wounds you already just threw salt on, you render her unable to play the song that Joel made for her and show us how she goes into the woods before rolling the credits, like she's about to off herself.

    I will never ever again buy a game that Neil Druckman had anything to do with. Dude is f'd up in his head...

    I wish I could forget this game and just have the ending of the first one in mind.

    I have never wanted to get my money back as badly as with this game. Because even though there were games from EA and Ubisoft, that made me feel robbed, they never emotionally scared me like the piece of garbage that is The Last of Us 2!    … Expand

    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...
