    Well I started to play the game and i started to enjoy it. The character development was fantastic and the plot was very intriguing. However the Last of us 2 was god awful as the lack of Ben Banks was disgusting and it made the game unplayable.

    Don't spend your money in this garbage, good Graphics, beautiful enviroment BUT awful history... nonsense, boring, cheap soap opera. Characters unlinkeables, forced to interact, offensive for fans TLOU 1st Part.

    20 hours game, but 10 hours cinematics... And the ending... The worst final in a videogame... Don't but this garbage

    An insult to everything that made the first game so great. 25 hours of revenge nonsense with no payoff and every character is unlikable. The story is so pathetic and meaningless you won't care who lives or dies by the end.

    I think the story ruined all this game , I feel that it overshadows all the other sections, a sequel to a game so excellent in its aspects deserves more , gameplay is good , music is beautiful , graphics top level, but the story....

    What can I say? A game I have been waiting for a long time TLOU2 is here and after a full play through I have been let down.

    Now that’s not to say the game is without its merits. The most beautiful game I have ever seen beating RDR2 which is a great effort. Also the gameplay is just as good as the first game.

    I only encountered 2 graphic issues. One during a nest in the hotel the game slowed down to a stutter and I felt like I was moving in slow motion for ten minutes. The other was during a cutscene late on in the game a character had been holding a brick but was comforting another so that brick was stuck in his face making me miss all the facial expressions.

    The game is dark and I don’t just mean some of the creepy locations. It’s graphic from drug use to sex scenes and oh the violence. The game is filled with it most of the time it’s though provoking but it lays on some senseless deaths of main characters that happen in a split second for shock value.

    The characters are incredible and are a joy to witness. Ellie, Joel, Dina, Tommy, Jesse and even Abby, Owen and Mel are all superb. I thoroughly enjoyed playing as Ellie and her interactions with her lover and friends.

    My first 15 hours of gameplay I would of been giving this game a 9 out of 10. Then a switch happened. I’m sure I know what they were trying to do. It just doesn’t work. I have never played a character that I truly didn’t care if they die. The next ten hours where spent feeling forced to desperately like someone I was willing to throw of a high building over and over again. The story dips from there and I played through the worst boss fight in history. After feeling so disheartened the game gives you what you believe is an escape.

    Only to then disappoint you with the finale. It drags the whole story down to feeling like the whole thing doesn’t matter and becoming a waste of your time. I so wish they had ended it at the 15 hour mark with an incredible ending. Instead they drag you kicking and screaming for another 14 hours to such an anti climatic and sad ending it may make you question playing a naughty dog game again.

    Don’t play this game with mental health issues. There is no happiness or justice or light. It’s depressing.    … Expand

    I'll start off by saying this game is not for the light of heart and it will challenge you against conventional storytelling. Its uncomfortable,overwhelming and challenging. Its bleak more often than not but when it wraps its truly masterful storytelling. The gameplay is top notch. The graphics are unlike anything I've seen.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Never have i played a game that is so spiteful and bland. the last of us never really stood out because of its gameplay and mechanics- it was the story and characters that made it compelling.

    And here we are, with an unnecessary sequel that not only humiliates and kills Joel (which could be a strong plot point), but they also chose to execute it so miserably.

    But wait! we can play as Abby!, isn't that great? a girl with a body that doesn't match her face and voice (or gender). i guess there's a great gym and plenty of food supplements in a in a post apocalyptic world. Oh, almost forgot, it's the daughter of an NPC, and she killed Joel with a golf club. Once again an agenda trumps storytelling and care for characters.

    "How does it feel to have lived long enough to see all your favorite franchises go down in flames?"

    "it feels great!"

    Following in the wake of such "greats" as The Last Jedi and GoT season 8, it destroys everything you love all in the name of "subverting expectations". The game play itself is serviceable and, at times, entertaining. But the story is at the core of this game and unfortunately, the story is terrible.

Ehmm, lets say: a rough plot from a leak is one thing. The way you develop it and the narration a completely different thing. Given the fact that this is where the game really shines, none of that can be judged after 3 hours.

    So it all comes down to review bombing. And there are a lot of reasons that motivate it:

    - Story leaks that led to hasty judgments of the plot
    - Hate on Naughty Dog because of the restrictive policy in dealing with these leaks
    - Inability or displeasure in dealing with difficult issues or ways of storytelling
    - Political agendas about SJWS
    - Envy towards the PS and its exclusives

    The reasons not to bomb the game would be millions. I let the numberless positive reviews stand for themselves. All is said about what a blast the game is in every way. Unfortunately it fell victim to an idiotic cyber mob that did explicitly not judge the quality of the game because 90% of them did not even play it ...

    I rate 10. After 2 playthroughs. Cheers    … Expand

    The first Last of Us is a masterpiece. In Part 2, I appreciate the craftsmanship with regard to the Graphics Design, Sound Design, Animations, Visual Effects and Gameplay is great BUT the story, characters and script are awfully bad. I do not recommend The Last of Us Part II. Play and enjoy the first game and pretend this sequel doesn’t exist.

    they destroyed an entire franchise with their sjw rubbish, the story sucks, no more likable characters because of reasons you can view in other comments, and most importantly completely illogical actions by past main characters just to push their sjw agenda.

    Isn't it ironic that a game about "hate" does garners so much of it from immature people, who seemingly feel unmasked by this game? Isn't it ironic that poor Neil Druckmann gets all the blame, even though HE wrote the first game (TLOU) ON HIS OWN? (Nombet you haters didn't know that, huh?)
    It's an incredibly brutal and mature game, yet they behave like children while trying to talk it down, rating it down disrespectfully and totally unfairly. It's blatantly obvious by reading the positive and negative reviews on here, who has REALLY played let alone finished the game.
    After finishing it myself after 32 hours I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this is game is even better than the first game. It’s a wild and partly cruel ride, but it’s an experience you’ll never forget and something no other game has achieved so far on this level of emotional impact and exhilarating gameplay. I have not played a better game in my whole life.

    Will it hurt you? Yes, but in the end everything comes around. Don’t listen to the trolls and haters. This game is an absolute must play!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every game has some minor issues, this is VERY far from the worst game I've ever played, and yes while I believed the decision to play as Abby several times was a most peculiar choice. One that at first I did not completely agree with, but after completing the game, I really do feel for and understand both Ellie and Abbie's perspectives. The gameplay and graphics really stand out 10/10 for that BUT, while some of the story choices can feel odd at times. In the end, I believe Ellie's choice isn't that she forgave Abby it was that killing her wouldn't bring Joel back. Abby having to live with herself knowing what she had done whether she felt remorse or not "probably not". To conclude while this story may not be for everyone. I personally enjoyed it, the emotions in this story really brought me back to the first game, that gut wrenching ending actually felt just right to me, THIS WAS NEVER MEANT TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING. It's supposed to be a dark and emotional story and I feel it's almost done perfectly. Thank you.… Expand

    Теперь что мне не понравилось.
    Смерть Джоэла, настолько близкого персонажа убивают в начале игры, я в это не мог поверить они убили его что ?? В игре я думал будет путешествие Джоэла и Элли , но они не стали продолжать первую часть за это респект , они нам дали новую историю .
    Как жалко что Джоэл всё-таки появляется в игре в виде воспоминании.
    Негативные отзывы которые опираются на то что в игре есть ЛГБТ пропаганда , Ассасине , Батлфилде 5 пропаганды больше чем Tlou 2 за всю игру нам показали три поцелуя Элли и Дины . Но между парнем и девушкой показали (Эбби и Оуэна)

I started hating it right after they killed Joel in the most disrespecting way but let's just face the reality, we already knew it was supposed to happen any way and not everyone get to choose how they die. Joel's death was a big shock to me however I still continued playing it as the gameplay and graphics are 10/10 without a doubt. I seriously hated Abby so much but after discovering her side of the story I began to like that character, and I think she was way better than Ellie after how Ellie got annoying. No complaints whatsoever. Really liked Ellie in the end like she was so badass than ever before, and she let Abby go. Hence this shows no one was hero or villain, both continued to suffer as long as they kept stabbing each other's back.

    Best game ever, really enjoyed every single moment of it except for Joel's death scene of course but could have give us more time to play as him. Definitely loved the flashback scenes of both Abby and Ellie.

    I wouldn't mind if the game continues to get DLC featuring Joel as playable character, that would totally rock. 8/10 for the storyline and 10/10 for the graphics & gameplay    … Expand

Also i really love Joel but he is a fictional character, loss however is a real thing. As someone that has been dealing with loss a lot this game helped me cuz i was able to strongly identify with the feeling to chase relieve and try everything to get a loved one back through certain actions. I think many people out there hating this game don´t actually really understand it and the emotional ambivalence it deals with. In my opinion this game is a progressive masterpiece and the reason it is so controversial comes from the very fact that it’s too progressive for the very culture that consumes it. It will someday be remembered as being way ahead of its time!!!… Expand

    The story is something different than the first game. The game is incredible, the characters are just amazing. The gameplay is better than the first game. I see why people are mad and that is understandable. The game is hard to consume it's just depressing ,but that is what makes it really good.

    Loved the Game.

    The Gameplay was fun, even when it was brutal. The Graphics are fantastic, especially the landscape and environment is engaging. I dont need to talk much about the story. what i liked the most is that ND dared to go to routs which no other Videogame till today took. It trys to tell a dark story on the scales of many Movies and Series. Its a pity that many Gamers    Loved the Game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has some things some choices that it does that it takes, that it’s not that good or good overall but those things don’t ruin the game or don’t make the story bad...

    Yes Joel dying near the beginning could have been at least at the second act of the game and I’m pissed because it was near the beginning but it is what it is.

    Also the way Joel died people have to let this go this is TLOU world did you even play the first one all deaths were brutal and real. Yes they could have at least given him a better death but yea...

    Playing as Abby is not bad is good seeing the perspective of the villain, seeing both points of views at the same time I didn’t liked it that much but it was because I didn’t want to play with the person that kill Joel still a great idea and it was executed well just something I don’t like.

    The ending was good except not killing Abby, even though I like the character growth of Ellie in the end and realizing that she needs to brake the “cycle of revenge” is pretty good also realizing that if she kills Abby is basically the same thing, would have preferred Abby dying and it angers me a little bit but what can you do.

    Now one last thing, people forget that Joel has killed hundreds of people yes is survival but he also killed innocent people while being in a hunters group, he killed alot of the fireflies(not saying they were innocents), killed the doctors and basically doomed humanity, we love Joel and we love how he is with Ellie but we can’t forget that he wasn’t a good guy...basically in the end Death/Karma got to him    … Expand

    A true testament to game making. Excellent visuals and audio, amazing atmosphere and a story that really makes you think. Exceedingly challenging at the harder difficulties and bold enough to tell a story that shows the ugly side of what humanity is capable of and what they can strive to overcome. I cried at the ending. Wholeheartedly recommend this game.

    Graphics, gameplay, story. It’s a masterpiece, plain and simple. The themes in this game build and expand upon its prequel in ways that don’t resort to trope. We’ve all over-analyzed the first game, and this game seems to leave us with questions we didn’t think to ask before.

    Great game, had to play it early because bol sent it 3 days early, I hate the SJW parts, but those are not often and don't feel as pushed as in the leaks, furthermore many people were mad because one thing happens, but I can tell there is a great build up to it. But I agree with what was said by some developers that you need to go open-minded in this game.

    It’s just good. They have expanded upon the first game very well and they didn’t take the easy way out by giving us some cheesy adventure. I think that most of the hate is coming from the fact that Ellie is gay. To the people that dislike the game for that reason I say grow up.

Making the unpredictable a norm, overflowing with creativity through moments imbued with delicacy, this suite surprises and makes us think about the consequences of our actions while mistreating us emotionally. Having refined its gameplay, now much more immersive, this part II stands out as a fabulous action / infiltration title but also and above all as a story, sometimes getting lost in some narrative stretches and other superfluous scenes but never deviating from its guideline dedicated to offering its characters a conclusion, whether happy or not. Like all creations bearing the mark of their authors, The Last of Us Part II will provoke debates, reactions, which, like its protagonists, remains terribly human. Whether we like it or not, there remains a major work here that will haunt us several days after we finish it and which we now say as the new example to follow in its field or more simply as a breathtaking, heartbreaking and magnificent story to that time.… 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]
