    I want to rate this game as 4 but the second half of the game just a forceful story and nothing working out in that part and the non-sense ending makes it a 4. But in the end the complete non-sense "Forceful" story makes this game as a total 0. Don't waste 25-30 hours of your life into this. It doesn't worth it while so many other things that you can do to improve yourself in this life.

    Deleted and returned the game after they forced the character to kill a crying, yelping dog. 0/0 will not buy from developer again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a fan of the first game, this has to be the most disappointing sequel I have ever played.
    This story uses the nostalgia of the first game to set an emotional tone for a story which has no relation to the first. Despite seeming to presume Joel was morally wrong at the end of the first game (which I do not!) the vaccine or cure has no impact on events, much like everything else from the first game. Instead, the new character of Abby, has the whole first game shoved as a simple backdrop to her motivations, and is desperately painted as a sympathetic character. Not only does her child murdering father save a zebra (awww) but she likes dogs too (awwwwwwww), but none of this is going to make anyone who liked Joel, think this justifies his murder. The murder, in trying to be gritty, misses key story telling and character opportunities, and signals the poorly thought out story which continues for far too long into this game. The story, a fumbled attempt at a 'revenge is bad' story, fails to understand human nature, basic philosophy (let alone theology) and so unwittingly spirals into a nihilistic mess, which by its very definition leaves you with nothing of true meaning at the end. The story of the first game had both strong male and female characters, the sequel discards both and finishes with nothing. Even Dina, introduced in the original's DLC, and seeming to have a strong role at the start of the sequel, is ploughed over by the Abby narrative, underdeveloped until she quietly leaves unseen. The game tries instead to make you care about a new cast of cliched and shallow characters. A pregnant fighter, an aquarium loving simp, faceless people who now all have names, but no personality are what we are given. It seems the apocalyptic world lacks its vikings, genghis khans, and bundys. That might be a bit dark for a game? Maybe, but that is precisely the tone this game thinks it is giving, but in truth shows a very shallow understanding of... well anything. The clickers, surely the best part, are thrown in from time to time, but are seperate from meaningful attachment to story.
    The game play is disappointingly similar to the original, and the added stealth and jumping make very little difference (when people are cheering rope physics, alarm bells should ring!). The game does have its great moments and the graphics are very good (although overrated). These two points would give it a higher rating, 4/10 maybe, but what took away from my enjoyment of the game while playing let alone replayability, was the accusations online from journalists and developers themselves that I had not played the game, or was prejudice, or was a russian asset. Followed by the striking down of reviews online, in order to push the game, and the false advertising from the trailers, which had me pre-order (Do you think I'd let you do this alone?....yes, you're dead, I am doing the next 30 hours without you). The 10/10 reviews are ridiculous, and have signalled the death of gaming journalism . On top of that Niel Druckmann is just insufferable, and his narrow minded conceited tweets have not only put me off this game but also the original and any sequel planned. It will be interesting to see if metacritic remove this review or not. The reviews reflect a very angry fanbase, and lack of understanding, let alone sympathy, will be the downfall of Naughty Dog. Many of the fans fawning over it as a 10/10, I can only assume never understood the first game properly. Instead they are fair weather fans, applauding (or crying over) whatever new release they can join the club of, and tossing the old one to the side.
    If Sony and Naughty Dog do not view this as a disastrous step for them, both in terms of the game, and how they have handled criticism/marketing, then their future will come crashing down as the destroy all the franchises they worked hard to build, and the old fans will cheer and the fair weather fans will already have moved on.
    0/10

    Finally, play the guitar left handed you idiot, or play it 3 fingered like Django Reinhardt (The World Famous 3 fingered guitarist!!)!! This 'poignant' ending is shockingly dumb, nihilistic, and rather pathetic. If you want a good story about revenge and its effects, read the Count of Monte Cristo.    … Expand

    Juegos como este son extremadamente peligrosos para la industria de los videojuegos. Las agendas políticas y la corrección política son un cáncer que debe ser erradicado de los juegos antes que sea demasiado tarde. Primero le pasó a Battlefield 5, ahora a este juego. ¿Qué otra franquicia sigue? ¿GTA 6? Espero de corazón que no.

    We, incel / betas, are already excluded from society and we can't enjoy a normal life. So video games are our only refuge. Why do you globalists think we will ever support your political agenda? Keep trying in every way to force it in games, but unlike other media, it will never gain enough strength here.

    After finishing the game I feel sad over two things:
    1. There's no multiplayer mode, making the game lean on it's single player story as the only reason to buy the game.
    2. To explain what's wrong with the story without summing up the story or revealing the story: The Last of Us 1 (TLoU) gave a feeling that the story was complete and that you've witnessed something epic story-wise. There    After finishing the game I feel sad over two things:

    2. To explain what's wrong with the story without summing up the story or revealing the story: The Last of Us 1 (TLoU) gave a feeling that the story was complete and that you've witnessed something epic story-wise. There was a hunger for a follow-up in the story, but it was still complete.
    In TLoU2 the story leave you with a feeling that you just watched a pilot episode of a cancelled TV-series. So empty and I would not recommend anyone to play this game if you have a positive memory of TLoU 1.

    About the content in the story, I have not a problem of the characters choises in life. I just feel that the characters does things for the wrong reason and it's just a big failure.. I can't see what plans the developers had for the story.

    Perhaps there can be DLC's that enhance the story and explains one or two things. But that wont correct the wrongs that were made. I feel empty after playing this game.    … Expand

    The game fail to improve upon.
    Every different timeline provides more deception and senseless violence.

    The game turns into a third person shooter, similar to what happened to RE series in Resident Evil 4.

    Honestly I am heartbroken.

    Beautiful game other than the tearing but that is it. Game play is horrible constant frame drops on pro. I can only imagine what it's like on the standard console. Naughty Dog ruining yet another franchise the story is absolutely horrible. Naturally Sony doesn't refund for this crap. Come on Sony a little more customer friendly tactics will take you a long way.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed the game for 13 hours straight, yes, the story was not as compelling as that of the first title, but it was still good enough that it kept me motivated, plus my love for the characters pushed me forward to fulfill their objectives. I got scared, I was engaged, I was driven by anger, I felt that I was one with Ellie. I played the game at night, wearing headphones and with the lights off just to be as immersed in the game as possible, in short: I was having a fantastic experience, but then...

    i have no clue what went through Druckmann's mind, how in the hell would I want to play as Abby, it has nothing to do with her being the "villain" or the way anyone wants to interpret it, it is the fact that I have to go to the theater to kill Ellie, and I know I'm making it there because we are shown that they meet after 13 hours of playing with Ellie, so there is not even a shade of doubt regarding my objectives or destination.

    I am not going to mention the bad storytelling or the plotholes because I do not care about them, I could do with bad writing as long as I am playing as the people that i had learned to love 6 years ago. In the end, the 10 hours I played as Abby, to me, were not enjoyable, I stopped playing at night, I stopped wearing headphones and I did not care about anything about it, I paced through it in one day because I couldn't bring myself to play as her and to top it all off I have to bash Ellie's head in too, like WTF?

    i am really disappointed with this game, not just because I did not enjoy it, but because I had so much faith in ND to produce a game which would at least match the first one's level of emotion, and in turn I ended up hating the sequel to my favourite game ever.    … 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]
