    The plot of the game is awful. I've created an account to write it and gave a bad mark.

    After playing this game, the image of the Naughty Dog has been devastated. I will never buy a game made by Naughty Dog again in my life.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely horrible game. I could've understood the good reviews if the game was well written. The theme of revenge and forgiveness is okay, also playing as the villain is an interesting choice....if only it wasn't written in such a bad way. If they wanted us to like Abby then they should've made us play with her from the very beginning, showing us her reasons and making us feel some empathy towards her instead of just throwing her in the game like that. And no, playing 10 hours as her isn't going to make me change mine or anyone's mind about her character at that point in the story. The LGBT theme is written by someone who clearly doesn't understand how mechanics between lesbians work. Casually the only sex scene between them seems like a pillow fight and there's also the presence of weed (I wonder why it's never mentioned afterwards, huh?). Overall, it really seems like the writer tried to represent the community without actually having an idea of how things really work. As a part of the community myself I don't feel represented in the least by such a thing.
    If this wasn't the worst already there's also the mental illness part. You want to represent someone with PTSD? Fine, then show me ALL the sympthoms that come with it, not just a part of them. It's useless to try to portrait them as real people if then you don't give the idea of complete realism. Where's all the anxiety, the sudden changes of mind and absurd thoughts that come with PTSD? Why wasn't there EVER a confrontation with Dina about it?
    Another point is that the characters don't seem themselves anymore. Joel and Ellie, the core of the previous game, feel completely out of character from the very beginning. Joel would've never revealed his name or trusted someone so easily, we all know that, so why doing him like this here? It just makes no sense. Nothing much has changed from the gameplay point of view and some areas are just boring. The ending, however, manages to do even worse than this. If the message is that revenge is bad, then why does Abby get away with what she's done? Does it make any sense that Ellie lets the only person who wronged her live and kills everyone else? This is just ridiculous. This game is nothing like the critic says about it. Absolute trash.    … Expand

    No this is just not playable. I wasted my money on this game because the first part was indeed good. But all these leftists are manipulating games and everything else. It is a big disappointment.

    Wow, what a waste of 70 bucks. I don't mind the story at all, but the horrendous linear gameplay and combat feels like a game from maybe 10 years ago? I forced myself to play ~10 hours cos I payed big money for this. Graphics are absolutely stunning, so there is still that...
    Biggest gaming related disappointment of my life.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review will have spoilers but before i get to that - Save your time, money and energy and don't buy this game, I usually dont write reviews but this game was so bad i just had to. Dont let it soil the love and appreciation you've built up for characters in the first game. All the 10/10 and 5 star reviews and articles popping up are quite frankly fake, paid reviews by people who think they're above everyone else in "their artistic genius". After finishing the game I'm left with a really bad taste in my mouth. Its rare for me to honestly rate any game a zero because I always try to find the merit in games even if they have flaws. But this game has almost no good points, its merits are few and far between and whatever genuinely good parts present are ruined by the rest of the game. Im left wondering, after seven years of waiting THATS what we get?!
    In a post-apocalyptic world where the possibilities for a game are endless THATS the best they could come up with?
    It felt like a cruel slap in the face. Like raising a child for years (in this case the first instalment) and then having said child brutally gutted in front of you (second instalment- the last of us part 2)
    It honestly felt like the infected weren't even a part of the game anymore and were just kind of an obstacle.

    I just cannot seem to grasp just how idiotic the story is They've taken the surgeon who was supposed to develop a vaccine from Ellie in the first game, a seemingly unimportant almost insignificant character just taped to the end of the first game. And they've made him a basis for revenge for the entire sequel? Seriously? An entire well filled with fantastic ideas and you choose the worst possible one? I hope your directing career is over Neil. In what world is this game alright?!

    Its very obvious that the team working on this game frantically tried to clean up druckmans story mess with clean visuals and solid gameplay but druckmans idiocy rooted within the game prevails at making it a misery to play.

    Its horrible beyond belief, through and through. Killing off one of the most favourable characters of the franchise in literally the first 2 hours of the game in the worst way possible was the first indication to how terrible the rest of the game was going to be. There was no real purpose to it. Backtracking to the first game, Joel's daughter was also killed in the beginning and it was gut-renching and there was real emotion I feel like they were going for the same thing in the last of us 2 albiet very unsuccessfully

    In the first game Ellie and joels relationship grows into a father daughter type relationship to fill the void joels daughter left

    In the last of us 2, they attempt to patch it up with dina and tommy unsuccessfully This is a perfect point to state that the games heavy emphasis on the gay agenda also serves no purpose other than to gain the support of the gay community. It's horrifying what they've done in game. Jesse gets Dina pregnant, kill off Jesse so Dina and Ellie can have a family. The message here is that men are only good for breeding?

    Another disastrous point is that the game tries to humanise Joels killer, it tries to justify her actions by having you play as her for half of the game, 12 HOURS. Honestly, that part was just torture, playing as a character you despise while the producers desperately try and paint her in a positive ligh.

    And then forcing us, playing as a character we hate to fight a character we love? That's cruelty I honestly let tommy kill me (playing as abby) like a hundred times before i felt satisfied moving on I also let Ellie do the same Why? Why did neil try so hard to make Ellie the bad guy? Why did he try so hard to make joel the bad guy? Why did they introduce Abby into the franchise? Theres no reason to any of what this game contains In the end the game had a chance to redeem itself and at least score a 1 or 2 out of 10 by killing Abby, the character that everyone despises and no... of course, you couldn't grant me that luxury could you Neil. You had to let Abby escape, had to leave Ellie with PTSD, no family, no friends, no father figures, no fingers, no revenge. Nothing. You had to rip out everything, throw it on the floor, spit on it and make your fans lick up the garbage you created. You honestly had one job and failed, flailing miserably might i add

From Joel being brutally beaten to death to Tommy being left blind, paralyzed and alone, to being forced to play as Joel's killer for hours on end in a horrific attempt to make us empathize with his murderer, this whole game is a dumpster fire thats only purpose in existing is to sacrifice what we love on it to the woke gods.

    I waited 7 years and this is what we got. Last of us 2 tears down everything great about the first game and tells a boring revenge story filled with plot holes and OMG that awful ending. What a slap in the face to any fan of the series.

    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]
