    Incredibly disappointed. Story was horrible. Was really hoping for something better. Wish I would have rented the game instead of buying it.

    Last of Us Part 2 is the worst video game sequel I’ve ever played. The writing shows so little respect for the player’s intelligence, the gameplay does little to improve from the first game, and the events which transpire are so forced that it becomes laughable. I encourage everyone not to buy this game. The original is worth your time and money, but this one can burn in Hell where it belongs.

    O gameplay é bom, isso é o máximo que dá pra dar de elogio para esse jogo. Agora a história meu Deus que monte de bosta, 7 anos esperando pela sequência de uma obra prima e no final o resultado é decepcionante. Isso tudo é resultado da ganância desses caras que só ligam pro dinheiro, queriam tanto chamar a atenção que arruinaram tudo.

It manages to destroy the story of the original and kill all fondness for the characters and time you spent with the original. You can read the many criticisms among all the negative user reviews here (unless they are purged), they are all valid.

    Since the loss of Amy Hennig & Bruce Straley from Naughty Dog (you can read about the in studio conflicts online) their games have not been as industry leading as they once were. Naughty Dog was the biggest jewel in Sonys crown but I’m worried the studio is now on a terminal decline.

    I believe Sony were planning on releasing this game at the end of the PS4s time, mimicking the first games release at the end of the PS3s, this gave a massive boost to the new PS4. With this game, it is a massive falter on the eve of the PS5 launch. Combined with other questionable company decisions, the PS5 will have an uphill battle against a resurgent Microsoft. I’ve owned every Playstation console and have never really enjoyed the Microsoft offerings as much, but am considering switching platforms for the next generation. Can a game be that bad that it destroys a studio and looses an entire console generation? Only time will tell.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty dog misled its customers in its trailer. The reason the first game was so successful was the relationship between Joel and Ellie. Instead of building off of that, Naught Dog went in a completely random direction and ignored everything that the players loved originally.
    Why make the player play as someone they dont care about for half the game? This is a story game and the story was mediocre at best. So unbelievably disappointed.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Other than the lush environments and character models, every charming detail that made us fall in love with the first game just isn't here. There are no interesting NPCs, no comic relief and every note and artifact you pick up feels pointless and fails to tell a story (nothing close to the quality of Ish's story in the first game).

    Joel, Ellie and Tommy have had drastic changes made to their characters without any logical development to suit the narrative of the game. Joel, who was once the most cunning and resourceful of all characters is now gullible and plain dumb, as is his brother. The two of them walk into a blatant trap, unarmed with complete strangers, resulting in Joel's death, for the sole purpose of pushing a lacklustre plot and unbelievable story. Ellie, who was by far my favourite character from the first game has not one line of interesting dialogue, nor any level of decent character development throughout the game.

    This is a long game that is largely rammed with filler - jumping back and forth between plots that are riddled with flashbacks and dreams within flashbacks within other flashbacks. It makes the story feel disjointed and without a clear purpose. It's the epitome of bad storytelling, and frustratingly the game forces you to switch protagonists when it's finally finding any sort of rhythm - thus killing all tension and demolishing the story arc in one fell swoop.

    You proceed to play the second half as Abby (Joel's murderer) for nearly half of the game, doing nothing but completing side quests and being subjected to soppy and cringey cut scenes, in what feels like the most unwanted DLC in the history of gaming. It's nothing but a lazy attempt at making you feel empathy towards the new characters without writing them into the game properly in the first place. Sorry, but getting raw-dogged in the back of a yacht in a creepy aquarium just isn't going to cut it. In fact, I spent more time during my play through finding new satisfying ways to kill Abby as brutally as I could than I did trying to finish it.

    If I could choose to go back and not play it, I would. Even after 25-30 hours of playing the story, somehow, amazingly, no progression is made at all, nothing changes and by the end the message sent to the player is that the whole play through wasn't worth it in the first place - the only sentiment from the game that I wholeheartedly agree with.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s a trash story. Filled with absolute nonsense.
    They dumb down Joel's character on purpose to make him weak and stupid. In the first game he was very smart and had a ton of experience. He didn't even trust a guy that was sick on the road. He chose to run him over. Later we find out that stranger on the road was not sick and it was all a set up. They do everything to make you dislike Joel and continue to spit on him. They have a trans female/male shoot him in the leg and torture him with a golf club right in the first 2 hours of the game. They spit on him literally. They made Ellie unlikable and a selfish human being. She kills everyone and continued to blame Joel for saving her life. She cared so much in saving humanity because she has the immunity but instead she became a lesbian and chose not to reproduce. Let that sink in. She even let's Abby the one that tortured and murdered Joel in front of her get away with it. Abby also bit off two of Ellie's fingers. Her letting Abby go is basically saying Joel deserved dying. A loveable character who is the main character of the game. There was no justice for Joel. This game robbed everything from you just for shock value. The current narrative of destroying the male character to make the female character rise is very weak story telling. It is disrespectful to both genders. Females even hate it. Worst of all the pacing of the story is horrible. You literally play as Abby the character we hate for half the game. They tried so hard to make us like her but none of it worked. This game is a waste of time and money and should have never been created as a sequel. The critics are liars and they don't care about what the fans want. They only care about their political narrative and force you to like something that you will never accept. Then they insult you by calling you names because you don't like the product they are praising. They are the worst kind of human being. Trust the gamers that actually love playing the kind of video games you like. Those are the ones who you should listen to. Vote with your wallet and avoid this dumpster fire. Why care for a game created by a studio that is run by Neil Druckmann who is a male feminist and does not care about the fans and the people he works with. That's why 75 percent of Naughty dog left the company due to how he treated them. This game is created by people that don't care about you and backed by people that hate you. The game wasn't made for the fans and gamers. Vote with your wallets and avoid this at all cost. Especially how they are trying to trick everyone with false advertisement into buying this. Look it up on YouTube. Don't trust the shill media. Watch the negative videos about this game and you will see the truth. Long live Joel and RIP to The Last of Us franchise. Seriously    … Expand

    Show us how Joel and Tommy survived let us see how the world of TLOU developed over the years.
    Show us how Joel became the man he was then I mean in the first TLOU because in part 2 he is out of character.
    They killed Joel like its nothing and then we play as abby and force us to LIKE/UNDERSTAND her. Damn I even had to fight against Ellie. I died on purpose many times. Its just frustrating.

    Completely threw away the hype of the story with garbage story changes and writing. Also forced us to play “Abby”, an annoying and frustrating character, for half of the game in order to try and sympathize with them. Political presence needs to stay out of video games.

It doesnt make sense at all considerating him a clever and sceptical man in Part I. It was like “hey my name is joel and he’s Tommy, we live over there and my password is 1234”... really dissapointed... They could’ve written a better way to kill Joel using THE SAME shocking scene, but come on, just remember he even tried to killed ellie at part1 when he saw her arm and Tess pressed him to trust in that little girl... that joel was not the real one everyone played with...… 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.
