    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quite possibly the worst sequel to an amazing first game, ever made. Piss poor story. Whoever wrote this needs to stop writing for games for the rest of their career. Absolutely ruined the good name of the last of us. The thing that made the first game so good was the relationship between Joel and Ellie and how they formed a Father Daughter bond. I could have written anything half decent and it would have been better than this trash...… Expand

Killing your favorite character up close, clubbing his brains out with a golf club disgusting and shocking. Ultimately, 30 hours of boring, same-old-same-old stuff we've seen before. I hope Naughty Dog dies along with this game. Ugh! Triple Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me try to explain it briefly

    In last of us 1, the whole thing is about Ellie and Joel and you grow to really love and care about them

    In last of us 2, they kill off Joel in the first 2 hours. Then, they make you play as his killer (Abby) for 10 hours, as you try to kill Ellie. Then, you play as Ellie for 10 hours trying to kill Abby. You kill hundreds of people and dogs trying to do this. Then, after all that, Ellie doesn’t kill Abby, and nearly all the characters are dead, abandoned Ellie, or are crippled by injuries. The final shot is Ellie trying to play Joel’s guitar, but failing to because Abby bit off two of her fingers

    You can’t make that **** up

    And people have been waiting for 7 years for this    … Expand

    The game itself has beautiful graphics but lacks the almost recycled gameplay of the first, identical Npc's and the ending is simply disappointing. Do yourself a favor and invest your money in another thing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bad writing. Bad story. Bad ending. Rukned the amazing experience that The last of us 1 was for me. Good job. 1/10.

    They say Joel deserved to die because he killed so many people. Who cares about morality in post apocalyptic game? Guess what, Joel killed for his daughter, just like how abby killed for her father. People can forgive abby but not Joel. That's stupid. Also, if they had even TRIED to make abby empathisable IN THE LEAST or relatable or likable or showed that she had an absolutely legit reason to kill an old and popular character, it would have been understood. But no she just appears from some where and goes, "I gotta kill him because he killed my father," and the player doesn't even get to relate with her pain or her suffering missing her father. You are SUPPOSED to feel bad for her, rather than actually relating with her missing her father and wanting revenge. Morality can f off in this world, unlike how everyone is saying, because its a post apocalypse and everyone will do whatever to survive. In the game as Ellie you also kill a ton of people. Does Ellie deserve to be curbstomped by some guys now?

    Also, I have seen a bunch of people who claim to have played only the first 4 or 5 hours proudly saying that they like it, and are also criticising players who leave a bad review but have finished the whole game. Automatically discredited. Play the whole game first, then leave a review.

    Joel isn't properly given the redemption he deserved in this game. Just because some didn't like Joel and left a good review doesn't mean theirs are more valuable than the ones that liked him and have left a negetive one. Leave your own experience. Don't criticise others because they didn't have a similar experience with the characters as you did. Everyone has different sentiments attached to the same game. Calling us angry men because we didn't like what happened with Joel and how his value was drowned over some needless plot channeling is a bad move. Get yourself fixed. Just because you disliked him doesnt mean he deserved to be forgotten and his value diminished after his death. The gamers who liked him and held more worth of him in their hearts deserved a better account of him, and our opinions are just as valuable as yours.

    I also would like to point out how you think every bad review is a result of review bombing but every good one is legit. Coping much? Next time, make a good game rather than trying to desperately and shamelessly escape criticism after having made a total dumpster fire.    … Expand

    Worst game I've ever had the displeasure of playing basically ruins the previous game by trying to tell an "enlightened" view of violence while being the ones who made the game that way. I'm sad that this did so poorly because no game developer will ever attempt this twist after this tragedy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As most people on here, I am really disappointed with this game, especially as it has literally been the game I have looked forward to the most in years.

    Positives:

    Either way I'll start off with the positives, the graphics are stunning and the music and general environment you're playing in certainly holds up to what I've been expecting from Naughty Dog. That's really the only reason, why I'm even rewarding this game with any points. Also there are some new mechanics to the gameplay although it is mostly the same as in the original.

    Negatives:

    You start off in the game and the game starts off very quietly until they kill off Joel, which is in itself already quite a bad decision. Killing off one of the players' most beloved characters for shock value is really not the best decision. Especially as Joel had barely made an appearance in the game before his brutal murder. Ellie goes on to find the killer, Abby and basically goes on a revenge trip together with Dina, her girlfriend. After Joel's death I was quite shocked and already had lost some of the appetite to even continue the game. But after a short break I decided to continue playing regardless. I was determined to kill Abby, the person who killed Joel. After getting about halfway through the game Abby suddenly breaks into their safehouse and Jesse, another side character who I had grown to like was again killed off for pure shock value in a very distasteful manner. Before knowing the outcome of that event it switches to Abby, the person you just really hate, like seriously, I don't know if I've ever hated a character more in a video game. So now you're supposed to play as the villain and get a little bit of backstory as to why she was so obsessed with Joel. Alright he killed her father, but do you really think that would make me suddenly like Abby? No I still hate her, like many people considering the reviews I've already read.

    Making the player play the game again through her point of view was a really bad decision and also what ultimately killed off my intention of seeing through the game. I played through the first couple of hours of Abby's story, but I will never start liking her and I feel like Naughty Dog greatly miscalculated how easy it would be to convince us of her. Also the characters around her are all also either unlikeable or just forgettable. Which is also a perfect way to describe this game. Naughty Dog ruined the series by making a story as bad as this one and I don't even know if I'm going to finish the game. It's a shame as this is the first time I have never been disappointed this much by a game and considering it came from Naughty Dog, a company I always trusted, that's even worse.

    If you want my advice, don't buy this game. You'd get more enjoyment out of just replaying the first game, which was truly a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Really Neil. As a member of the LGBTQ community I am appalled that this is what passes for storytelling these days. EVEN I can see the virtue signaling and after the reveal of Ellie being a lesbian in the DLC for the first game I thought we would actually get some sort of inclusive loving moment between her and her lover. No we get this instead: and what did we get? 1/10    *sighs*

    No we get this instead: and what did we get?

    1/10 Gameplay - they didn't change this much from the first game, 7 years later, this really does just feel like chapter 2, not a new game but the same game with more story being told.

    0/10 - Story.... what in the actual...... I am not kidding, the story is a disjointed pandering mess. People need to STOP listening to twitter and STOP listening to Anita. It's time we remove these cancers that are frankly tearing down our communities and the goodwill we have been working on for the last 60 years. Then when you had the actual opportunity to have an inclusive sex scene in the game, you choose to make a slightly rapey straight scene, that was not touching, that was not at all endearing (this is different than something intended for erotic purpose)? LITERALLY WTF were you thinking?

    7/10 - Graphics, literally the only redeeming factor this game has is how good it looks and how smooth the animations are... for the time it took and the progress since, this could have been much better.

    Seriously I want my money back. I should never have bought this game and frankly OFFENDED at the way it treats LGBTQ issues/ellie's relationship. It's an outright INSULT to the LGBTQ community.

    Harvey Milk didn't die for Anita Sarkessian to RUIN the LGBTQ movement's progress with her faux feminist -give me money- agenda.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Графика и геймплей 10/10. Были выжаты самые последние соки из PS4. Сюжет 7/10 Серая мораль, которая так хороша была в первой части, в новой The last of us 2 трансформировалась в то, что не хочется играть. И это не значит, что игра плоха. В качестве самостоятельного произведения и продукта это безусловно очень достойная история, которая определено имеет место быть, однако со стороны игрока, сюжет очень тяжел для игры. Это не RPG и ни какая другая история, где мы можем отыгрывать самого себя, свои поступки, здесь мы видим и переживаем все глазами Элли и Эбби. Всеми силами игра хочет заставить нас начать сопереживать Эбби, показать, что люди находятся с обеих сторон , нет добра и зла. НО, в самом начале повествования Эбби убивает персонажа, С которым мы так свыклись, которому сопереживали, и после этого всеми средствами нас уговаривают, нам показывают, что вот его убийца вприцнипе не такой уж и злой, да и вообще вот вы ее друзей убиваете, тогда чем вы лучше ? Почему нельзя было просто отпустить и насладиться жизнью с Томми, Джесси, Диной и своими остальными знакомыми/друзьями? Тогда вопрос аналогичный можно задать и Эбби, разве нет ? Какие бы ни были аргументы за данного персонажа и как бы нас не убеждали - нет. Это не сближает нас, игроков, с человеком, который убил Джоела изуверски, Джесси. Нет, нельзя сопереживать этому человеку, я не могу понять его осознать. Она убила симпатичных мне персонажей и что, что вот она такая же как все, у неё своя жизнь, у неё погиб отец из за Джоела. Это не заполняет чашу равновесия на весах той боли, что она причиняет не только Элли, но и конкретно нам игрокам. И то, что Элли отказывается ее убить в конце - сюжетный промах, который мог бы вытянуть историю. Довершить мест Элли, даже превратив ее в монстра. Снова происходит то, чего не ждут игроки: в первой части мы все хотим спасти мир доставить Элли и вакцину выработать - но в итоге Джоел убивает всех и спасает Элли. Сейчас же мы все дорогу хотим мести и не получаем ее. Одинаковый сюжетный трюк дважды провернуть не удалось, и если бы наоборот Элли убила, отомстила - это смотрелось бы более уместно и более непредсказуемо. Мы бы получили ужасное будущее для девушки, что было бы куда интереснее. Как бы мне не оправдывали поступки Эбби, они ужасны и не вытянут ее человечность. И как бы не убеждали фанатов, никому Эбби не понравится… Expand

Dina was one of the worscharacters in the game, she felt like a hindrance and ruin the moment for me when walking in Joel's house. The whole point of this game was revenge and guess what, you don't even get to kill abby at the end. Naughty dog have gone done the star wars route. Great visuals but terrible storyline.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am one of the many who finished the game and was left feeling uneasy, and feeling that things are left unresolved. I can agree with all the banter about "Joel deserved better" and "This has an agenda" to a certain degree. It definitely felt like the PC culture was being jammed down my throat, and as for Joel, I'm not sure about deserved better... He murdered countless people and forsake mankind to save one girl. I am not saying I would have chosen differently. I would have made the same call, especially after losing my daughter many years before. When you murder someone there will be repercussions. Abby was one of those waves that Joel had created, and it caught up with him. You kill that many people, and you are asking for the worst possible outcome. Put all that aside, at least for this review. This game felt like a slap in the face. It felt like no one wanted to write it, or maybe there was just a lack of real story after the first one had been tied into a neat little bow for us. I do not know how much influence the Co-writer Halley Gross had, but I looked into her, and her reputation is less than impressive. She is a failed comedian, claiming it was some misplaced fear, when in reality she just isn't funny. Her writing is lack luster at best, and bringing her into the fold was a MASSIVE mistake on the studio's part. I feel that this whole stunt was like the studios and critics saying "Oh you want a sequel do you? The first wasn't enough? Well here is your **** sequel!" as if to put us in our place about craving a sequel to something as good The Last of Us. We understand that puts pressure on studios, but if this is the response we get for wanting sequels and remakes that actually do their counterparts justice, then I would rather have nothing at all. Killing Joel, and then FORCING me to play as the person who brutally beat him to death, is a **** insult to anyone who played the first game and don't even pretend like it isn't. Driving a narrative of seeing how bleak the world would be, and beating the dead horse of "revenge is bad" is just lazy writing. Showing me that my enemy has struggles too, and attempting to humanize them is just infuriating. Your counterpoint is immediately invalid, because it comes simply down to "I know my enemy has feelings, and cares, and wants, and struggles. The thing is, they killed the only thing I had left in this world, so I don't give one flying **** who or what that person is. Showing me their side of things is not going to change my mind that, that person needs to pay the piper. Just like Joel did." And then at the end you strip us of even that. This story felt lazy, and insulting all the way through. No amount of "good" gameplay will ever compensate for just throwing out good character arcs. I wish I could even give a decent review of the gameplay. I can't. It was fine enough for what it needed to accomplish, but the A.I. was piss poor. It felt like the clunky A.I. from the first game, but now even easier to sneak up on. Survivor mode was a joke. My biggest complaint... Killing animals. I have a problem with killing innocent creatures that do not have the capacity to even begin to understand the complexities of what drives man to slaughter each other with no reason or rhyme. I spent more time trying to figure out ways to NOT kill anything in parts that included animals, than doing any other thing in that game. I will give you this, you animated it and made it sound convincing. So good so, that the first time I killed a dog and heard it yelp, it made me so **** angry I turned the damn game off for the rest of the day. I had trouble justifying even turning the damn thing back on. I am disgusted with any game that includes killing innocent creatures. You couldn't even give us gameplay redeeming enough to recommend this game. Fire Neil, and absolutely fire Halley Gross. This game spit in the face of not only its fans, but in the face of its own predecessor. Next time put the goddamn pen down and think that it might be better to produce nothing than produce whatever the hell you call this.… Expand

    the last of us is about joel and ellie their are the last of us without them it just can't be and since joel is dying there is already 1 person gone I thought ok we are now just going to play as ellie for the rest of the game but no you must play as abby that really ruins the whole game why do you play if her plays nothing on anyone cares about her the story is not right you don't feel a click with the characters it seems like some scenes are missing because then ellie sees someone get hung up and cut open and then in the next scene she's flirting with dina come on a little bit apart part 2 should just have been about ellie's uniqueness that was much better than this it's totally ruined and seriously ellie sacrificed so much to abby and then let them go so stupid
    there were a few points that I liked about the game
    1.graffics
    2. the relationship of ellie and dina
    3. the pieces that you will be playing the guitar
    4. characters that sing
    5. gameplay
    just say the story is just not true at all they ruined it by killing joel and it is not running at all gronologically this game could have been much better than this, wondering if part 3 will come and if so what about it because ellie has nothing and nobody more and i think if you dont have play the first game that you would like this because you dont have the conection whit joel and ellie    … Expand

    I have never been more saddened by playing an IP that I loved so much than by playing the last of us 2. The only reason that I loved the first last of us as much I did was the story and more than that, the relationship between Ellie and Joel and how it evolved throughout the entirety of the game.

    I will say that the environments and the voice acting were really beautiful. Sadly though that isn't why I wanted to play the last of us 2. I wanted more of Joel, I wanted more of Ellie. I wanted more of their chemistry. But let's just say I didn't get any of that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A story showing blood and gore 24/7 and just having Ellie killing hundreds of people isn't depressing it's just generic, a revenge story after killing the main character we've been invested in from the previous game just for a revenge story that has no payoff isn't unique or great storytelling, a game trying to be bleak and cruel and showing the world is bad and depressing with no happy moments just to have a thematic message about revenge isn't good.

    The reason the first last of us was good was that it had positive moments to make the depressing moments, well... sadder and vise versa. It also just focused on two characters and their development, not just the thematic relevance of the character's actions. a game being bleak all the time isn't good storytelling. it's just sad for the sake of being sad and that's just dumb (and honestly, it's not even that bleak for a video game considering **** like spec ops the line and dark souls exist.)

    if every movie, game, and tv show was made just for getting emotions from people than all they would have to do is just show a young child dying from starvation or literally most things from world war 2. There is a reason fiction and reality are different and that reason is that real life is **** boring and disappointing so saying this game is like "real life" isn't a compliment it's actually an insult really. Things in fiction have to have logic behind the things that happen but in this game Sooo many contrived things happen because the dumbass who wrote this didn't care enough to put more thought into it not because it's "real"

    But honestly whoever did support this game or didn't do anything against it like boycotting it or anything else should be happy with what they've done because of them one of the most anticipated game of all time has been filled the same virus as the movies have and that's the dumb SJW mental illness and let's not be delusional now the game's industry has been going downhill for some time now but this is kinda the breaking point. The biggest franchise in the film industry like star wars has been molested by Disney and so has the same been done to the game's industry by sony and that's because we did absolutely nothing but watch as it happened. Now this game is gonna win game of the year because the reviewers were paid to suck its dick and more games are gonna follow in it's wake to the same pit hole as all the other franchises and its all because of sony, One of the biggest games company and it took a dump on all of its consumers in front of them publicly and from the looks of it, 15'000 delusional dumbasses paid for it and loved it. great...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a masterpiece. From its amazing heartwarming flashbacks to its most intense gruesome moments it ends it amazingly and makes me want more. The story in this game makes me want to keep playing. I love the characters, even though I didn’t like Abby at first since she killed Joel. Once I started playing as her I started to like her more and more. She is such a caring person helping Lev and Yara throughout the last’s parts of you playing as her really shows on how good of a person she is.

    Ellie has evolved so much during this game and the first. From wanting revenge for Abby killing Joel to accepting that Abby deserves to live. Ellie and Joel have had a complicated relationship ever since the end of the first game but it seems that she starts to warm up with him more but does have some bumps in the road when Joel tells her what actually happened.

    This game overall has some of the best gameplay and graphics I have ever seen. Some of the moments in this game will stick with me. Some of the environments in this game are so beautiful. Going to the farm and finding out Dina and tommy lived and seeing that Dina was able to have her baby made me the happiest person in the world. When Ellie and JJ went and sat on the tractor and looked out into the horizon I ain’t gonna lie I cried a bit.

    But this game is worthy of the title and probably better than the first game. Even though I finished it in around 18 hours I loved 98% of the game. 10/10 masterpiece and worthy of the title of game of the year.    … Expand

    You keep killing people across the country, you kill the boyfriend and you kill his wife who was pregnant (double kill), you end up killing almost all of his peers, and when you go back to someone who made your **** life, you are willing to murder and avenge yourself of all the **** she did to you, but in the end you let her live because "revenge is never good, it kills the soul and poisons it".

However the truly worst part of the experience is the plot, that is fundamental for a very linear and story driven game like this one: through a literal destruction of all the beloved character of the first game, the game substantially wants to teach you one of the most generic lessons ever, the one of revenge being a bad thing. In order to achieve this mediocre goal the story relies still on crucial events happening purely by chance, action completely out of the personality of characters and several minor plot holes. If we consider also the abuse of dmca takedowns on YouTube from Sony and the misleading advertising for the game(if you play it you’ll know what I’m referring to), I do not recommend this game thinking about the milestone part 1 have been for gaming, and I suggest saving 60$ and watching the play through on YouTube/twitch if you’re curious on how a story so anticipated can be so poorly written… 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]
