    Ultimate letdown of a game in the series that people loved and waited for 7 years. No upgrades in gameplay, unnecessary emphasis on LGBTQ, forcing the player to sympathize with the villain of the story, a very dissociated and weak storyline that pampers to a certain group of people, not caring about the real gamers and fans of the series.

    Avoided spoilers. Kept an open mind. Bought it. Tried it. Nope: Truly disgusted. A slap in the face to fans of the emotional core that made the original game great. What an unpleasant, joyless disaster. The story writers should be ashamed of themselves, and Naughty Dog should go bankrupt.

    This game is absolute trash. I've loved every game from Naughtydog all the way back to Crash. This is the worst thing I've ever seen let alone paid for. They should offer refunds like movie theaters use to. Bait and switch.

    I waited 7 years for this, but the story was so agly. wanted to quit so many times though out the Abby line.
    I felt nauseous playing as Abby. The moment when I had to beat Ellie I wanted to delete the game. I regretted not doing it. Because at the end Abby bites off Ally's fingers. This is terrible and disgusting. Do not spend your money on this garbage.    … Expand

    Cheap shock value, not independent and worst story, unrealistic or illogical reactions or dialogue and uncreative gameplay.
    Death is the only source of excitement.
    Stay away from this part II if you love the part I

    I can’t believe I wasted 80 dollars on a game with the most disgusting story ever created. Do not waste your money buying this **** if you wanna see the game just watch the gameplay on YouTube, this **** aint worth spending money. The storyline will literally break down all your hopes and smash them into dirt, neil cockmen has lied to us we’ve been tricked into buying a lie.

    Gonna start off with mentioning what this game did well:

    Graphics - 10/10. Amazing. Not an expert but I can imagine this is about the best you can do with current generation of consoles. Not much to say here, simply breathtaking. Level design - 8/10. I think they could have done better at letting us explore the world more and hid more easter eggs, but overall most levels felt good to    Gonna start off with mentioning what this game did well:

    Level design - 8/10. I think they could have done better at letting us explore the world more and hid more easter eggs, but overall most levels felt good to play through and explore.
    Soundtrack - 8/10. It is really good and does a good job for setting your mood for particular levels and parts of the story, but I don't think it's as brilliant as in first game.
    Gameplay - 7/10. Again, it's good, but it's mostly the same as part 1. Don't get me wrong, gameplay in the first game is great, but I feel like they could have done much more in 2020.

    And now to the elephant in the room...

    Story - -100/10. The characters we know and love from first game are absolutely butchered and dumbed down for convenience and to be able to tell us a stupid story about revenge being bad. Only a handful of newly introduced characters are interesting. Most of them you never end up caring about, even though the game tries incredibly hard to make you empathise with them and love them. Characters do the most idiotic things to make the story Druckmann intended happen and kind of make sense, but it never ends up making any sense anyway.
    The first game left everything for the player's interpretation at the end. The second game forces a certain narrative without leaving any room for the players to speculate, even though a lot of things you find in the first game clearly dispute the narrative they push in part 2.

    Overall I think Niel Druckman has a huge ego problem and tried too hard to write a deep story, challenge people's morals and overcome the first game's writing, which was only good because Brice was here to keep his insane insecure leftie extrimist ideas in check, but ended up writing a piece of garbage that makes absolutely no sense and teaches you nothing, just leaves you sad and angry.

    If you loved the first game as much as I did, replayed it numerous times and have tons of warm and fuzzy feelings about it - DO NOT play this game. Just remember the first one for the masterpiece it is. This game throws everything that was good about the first one in the trash and destroys our favorite characters.

    I replayed The Last of Us about 7 times. Currently playing through remastered PS4 version again, trying to forget about the dumpster fire that the story of part 2 is. Never going to replay it.

Но игра сама по себе очень скучная, не очень хороший сюжет, и как по мне не очень хороший конец с моралью "Месть никуда не приведёт", при этом завалим очень много людей которые даже отношения к этому особо то и не имели.. Геймплей скучный, одни и те же убийства из укрытия, одна и тоже заросшая область почти всю игру... Плюс играть за Эбби было вообще сложно и делал я это через силу, и даже под конец я бы всё равно её убил! 4/10 максимум сколько могу дать этой игре.… Expand

    WOW what a ride! This game is incredible on every level. There are enough review bombs from disapointed fanboy/girls who either refuse to engage with the story for whatever reason, or are disapointed because the story isn't as 'simple' as it is in part one. I also understand that some of the characters actions may seem incongruous with what we think we understand about them. BUT SO WHAT!WOW what a ride! This game is incredible on every level.

The gameplay loop is the most satisfying and polished stealth/action mashup that has ever existed. The graphics and animations are off the scale. It's the closest you can get to being in a real graphic novel, which brings me to the story. It is there to serve the purpose of creating lots of interesting gameplay arenas. Just like the book that inspired the creation of The Last Of Us, City of Theives, each section or chapter is a device to create tension or excitement or wonder or horror or sadness. It's unlike anything else out there and should be celebrated as such. If you have a PS4 why are you even reading user reviews and not playing this right now?… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I dont want to give this game 0/10, but due to critics overrating the game, I think it should be a message for developers. Game is trying to make you feel compassion for whole Abby storyline. Its a great idea to show two sides of coin. Idea is great, but the way they did it really confuses me. I forced myself to play Abby part for this 10 hour. I let her be eaten by clickers around 80 times. If there was a way to kill her, i did it. I wish the scenario worked for me, but it didnt. I guess it is an evidence of the fact that game is poorly written. When game made me play Abby against Ellie, I simply didnt want to punch Ellie. How can i worry more about a boring grey character like abby more than Joel and Ellie who were main chracters in first game. TLOU2 had a great potential, but they screwed up. I dont knwo who to blame for this. I didnt raise the topic of absolute uninteresting new characters (Mel, Nora, Abby, Owen and other part og their wolf gang). Abundance of pregnancy ( zebra is pregnant - abby's father is good because he saved it, Ellie killed dozens of people, but when she kills Mel who is PREGNANT she gets shocked. Dina is pregnant and that affects Abby's choice. Third point, I dont have anything against LGBTQ and women overall but why mostly all women characters are shown form a good perspective (Abby is a good person at last, Leader of scars is good at last, leader of Jackson Marie is right about revenge etc) while male are shown from a bad side ( Joel is a selfish moron, Tommy cant leave the idea of revenge, leader of Wolves is a coldblood child killer). Fourth point is straight up lying in trailers ( shwoing that joel is alive and that they will have adventues in seattle). I put 0/10, because i think this game is overrated. As a fan of first part i fell like Nill just spitted in my face.… Expand

    Secondly, the Used Game Shop refused to buy my copy of TLOU2. The game play is OK, the story is trasher than trash.

U can't treat like that to your employers just because u have no time, i hope that with a bad rating naughty could finally see that sometimes is worth to realease the game later just to make it better for the players and FOR THE EMPLOYS

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this expecting it to be as good or better than the first game, the graphics are great but the story is terrible and all the characters are **** the game forces you to like a new playable character that killed a character everyone liked in the first game (Joel) They try so hard to make you like this new character while trying to make you hate Ellie. The only thing good about Abby (new character) is her hand to hand combat. The pacing in this game is all over the place too, it takes ages for the game to even get interesting, it's mostly walking around doing nothing and this happens a lot throughout the game. Naughty Dog ruined this game Druckmann needs sacking, forcing LGBT agenda down peoples throat's in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, it does not fit in, the game is complete trash.… 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]
