    What makes a game "good"? I think that's a big source of the divide here. Do people have to like a game for it to be good ? Your answer to that will probably answer what you rate this game. (And I don't mean "enjoy" or even "have fun"--LIKE is my very deliberate word choice)

    I absolutely loved the first one. And I also quite liked the second one, but not as much. I know because I'm not as compelled to play it 4 more times. HOWEVER, from an objective point of view, I think it's on the exact same level as the first (with added ambition and literary techniques like symbolism and motifs). Very minor pacing issues in the middle, but it accomplishes what it aims to do PERFECTLY. And for that, I personally think it is very easily a 10.

    It has low ratings here I think because people didn't like what happened. Plain and simple. Whereas critics are critiquing the game itself, not projecting their own desires, hence the MASSIVE divide on this site. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, just depends on why you, as the consumer, buy games in the first place. It was well worth my money. Though it may very well may be a waste of yours.

    P.S. Was there false advertising? Yes. Does that detract from the artistic work? Of course not. It detracts from reliability of the marketing department.    … Expand

The real reason is the plot, it is just bad and forced, poorly written characters, doesn't connect well with the first one, narrative dissonances, disrespect to beloved Joel and Ellie making them stupid and nerfed to change the focus of the narrative, forced dumb situations to kill characters, cheap easy shockers, i mean, come on, they force you to play as a hated character and empathise with it. And it only gets worse, that ending, so disrespectful, so unsatisfying, it's an insult to the fan base.… Expand

    TLOU2 is the sequel we needed. Complex characters dealing with complex situations and emotions in a brutal world that is expertly realised. Acting, writing, tech, cinematography, gameplay - all exceed and improve on those of Part 1. I can't wait to see what the next journey Naughty Dog takes us on will be.

    There’s only one thing to be grateful about this game: it made me decide that I will no longer buy PlayStation products. They were only good until PS3. TLOU2 sums up all of their mistakes in this generation. Naughty Dog never really knew how to handle the evident crisis they had while developing this. It shows in the final product. Companies need to learn you can’t always survive based on past glories. The Last of Us 2 is a bad, bad game.    … Expand

    No podíamos esperar una "historia feliz", Joel privó de la cura a la humanidad por alguien a quien veía como su hija, era lógico que habría consecuencias. Es una historia muy cruda, como se supone serían nuestras vidas si algo así ocurriera en la vida real. Neil se atrevió a mostrarnos las dos caras de la moneda, nos mostró el por qué de los actos de Abby, y tal vez a algunos de nosotros nos hizo empatizar con ella. Lo más fácil hubiese sido darnos un "final feliz" con Ellie y Joel teniendo una vida "normal", y desde mi punto de vista, hubiera sido muy cliché y probablemente eso si hubiera arruinado la historia. Para mi TLOU ll es un juego de 10 y supera en muchos aspectos (por no decir en todo) a su antecesor, que dicho sea de paso también es una joya.    … Expand

They tell an important and impactful narrative through character dialogue, world design, and gameplay. It marries each aspect of the game together, aspects, that set the bar for the games industry. The animations of each character, every drop of rain, shard of glass, pustule of an infected, feels meticulously hand-crafted.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visuals & details: Simply amazing. The small details in posture and clothes are insane, and in general it's an incredibly beautiful game.

    Gameplay: While rather basic, NaughtyDog introduces some interesting concepts that creates a fairly progressing gameplay. The combat does get quite repetetive, but the introduction of new foes and combat mechanics it does work through the game.

    Story: The story is captivating and keeps you on the edge at all times. The intro is very dramatic and left me confused, but I do like NaughtyDogs brave writing. With the thought of the world being in a post apocalyptic state, a lot makes sense, especially the initial scene at the estate.

    The plot is quite basic: revenge/vindication. In most of those plots, the story will get quite shallow. However TLOU2 solves this in multiple ways. First off, the characters keep it interesting. I do think Ellie is quite shallow through the game, but the characters around her help give her more feelings, but more importantly I think the flashbacks fill Ellies development. The flashbacks ensure that the plot makes sense.

    However, what makes the story great in my opinion is the introduction of Abby. As said previously, the plot is quite basic. But seeing the plot from another perspective at the same timeline, parallell, is in my eyes incredible. Following the story from Abby's perspective is haunting. You know what will happen, and how certain things will happen. But it also fills a lot of blanks in Ellies story which, in themselves, would be quite weak story points.

    Now, there's been a lot of criticism against Abby and her story which I do not agree with. Yes, the intro of Abby is **** crazy and makes you hate her immediately. But if you cut out everything with Joel and Ellie, and just look at Abby's story, it makes sense. Therefore I believe that you need a complete neutral view on Abby to understand her character and story. All of her actions do make sense.

    The progression of Abby is also a classic and fine story. The initial antagonist that starts to understand her actions and embarks on a story of change. The introduction of Lev is great and everything that happens between Abby, Lev and Yara are in my opinion fully genuine and understandable, especially if you mix in Owen. Owen is such a great character which is the foundation of Abby's turn around, and the combination of these characters makes Abby's part of TLOU2 amazing.

    The side characters are all actually amazing and they feel so human, and everyone's presence make sense. Following them from two perspectives is also incredible and the first time you play as Abby in the WLF base is amazing and also depressing, knowing the fate of some of the characters.

    One last point that I think NaughtDog are extremely brave with is how certain characters endings are. They're abrupt and chaotic, which some people might call "surprise deaths". In the world of TLOU, with TWO games of Ellie, Joel and others killing people off left and right, it all makes sense that one mistake equals death. I love that ND actually kills off characters. It's realistic.

    All in all: The Last of Us Part II is an amazing game. The user score on metacritic makes zero sense and I believe that when looking back at this game in a couple of years, it'll be regarded as one of the greats. Graphics and game details are off the charts and is in league of RDR2 as game changing. The story and characters are absolutely incredible and the whole story kept me captivated at all times. The Last of Us Part II is just what the game series needed and is an aboslute must-play for everyone, and it's also a perfect ending to the era of PS4.    … Expand

I myself initially thought that Neil Druckman had gone mad and made a disgusting project, but this was not the case.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all I wanna say that I LIKED the game. But I must also admit that it had problems. It's strong 6/10 for me, but I can't upload my review that has lower score (shame on you for that and false advertisement, Naughty Dog).

    The graphics, sound, atmosphere - all 10/10, that's for sure. Even a gamplay was ok for me (some people consider it outdated for 2020, but I think it's alright for that game). But it means nothing if the story in the story-based game such awful. Honestly, NOT EVERYTHING is bad, there where a lot of great moments that I enjoyed. But things that are bad - they are dreadfully bad. Damn, the game sold itself to me in the trailer where Joel said he wouldn't let Ellie do it alone. It's a shame it was a false advertisement. I tried to describe my feelings and honest opinion in the text below.

    You broke my heart, Naughty Dog. I wasn't anticipating anything, I avoided all leaks about the game, I've never built up my feeling about this game, I just wanted to enjoy it, enjoy the story, return to my favorite duo J'n'E. It's not a problem, that we lost Joel, the propblem is HOW and WHEN we lost him. Especially after brothers saved Abby's life.

    "We have our own great vision about this project. We gonna crush the head of your beloved male character with a golf club in the very beginning of the story and after that you gonna play as his killer and you better love her, because she's so strong, independent, her father was killed by Joel, so he got what he deserved and bla bla bla'.

    It’s not working like that. It could if you show her story BEFORE torturing and murdering Joel, not after. Despite the thing there were few cool missions with Abby (infested building, hospital with damn bloater/clicker abomination, Scar's island) it was impossible for me to feel smth to this chatacter, it was insane to force us beat the **** out of Ellie. It just feel wrong. I felt hollow after ending the game. I felt devastated. In a very wrong way, unpleasant way. Like if I lost somebody important to me.

    You know Mr. Druckmann, Abby is no better than Joel. Joel killed to survive, to defend the girl who became a daughter to him. Abby kills everyone who is not from WLF just on sight. They are just like bandits from Pittsburgh from the first game. Even her ally Mel tell her that she's "piece of **** Always been". She just the same. But why she didn’t get punishment in the end? Why her life more precious then Joel’s? Why Ellie have lost almost everything, even her connection to Joel through playing the guitar? I fail to understand your point in the ending. Revenge is bad, okay, but Abby did almost nothing to gain redemption. When Ellie killed Mel and then found out about her pregnancy, she was frustrated. Abby was ready to kill Dina even knowing about her baby. That’s actually a person you wanna fell good about, yeah.

    I felt hollow after ending the game. I felt devastated. In a very wrong way, unpleasant way. Like if I lost somebody important to me.

    Despite everything I wrote above, I'm not hate you, Mr. Druckmann. I crave to give you another chance. You still can change the order of some chapters to make this more logical. Show us that it's not about the money, that you still are good guys in the world full of greedy ****

    I'd like to give you 10/10. I belive a would be able to do it in future if you decide to fix the mess you created. I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry for the guys who just dropping the score even without completing the game. But most of all I'm sorry for you, Mr. Neil Druckmann. You could do much better than that.    … Expand

TLOU joins StarWars, GoT, Ghostbusters 2016 as once great tiles ruined by sequels and subsequent revivals. the story is all over the place, same old revenge plot used a million times, people say the graphics the only good thing about this game but even that is lackluster, TLOU2 is too graphically, dark, gloomy and edgy, compare that to the giraffe scene in The last of us, where the message was "it may be a zombie apocalypse, but we do what we do to survive and find happiness in little things." This game is a chore to play and just when you thought in the end ,you would have the satisfaction of killing the villain to avenge the character that made the original good, you get a "change of heart" trope thrown at you. And what about the 100s of people you killed trying to get to Abby, don't they matter? the message of this game is unclear, but hey you're a bigot transphobe anti-SJW, racist if you don't like this game right?… Expand

    Graphics 9. Sound 7. Story. Nope. Gameplay 3.

    Pros:

    Graphics are decent quality despite clearly being downgraded from the trailers.
    Sound design is clear. Soundtrack is haunting. Infected noises are genuinely creepy.
    Decent area to explore and stealth mechanics, workbench upgrade improvements are good.
    There's a jump button. I barely used it. But the rumors are true. You can jump.
    If I resell immediately, I should be able to recoup most of my loss while hype is still fresh.

    Cons:

    The Story is god awful. Sadly not a joke. 2 hours is all it takes to realize your money was wasted. I've read $1.99 E-Books from Amazon that are less messy, less reliant on 180 degree shock moments with infinitely better structure (Try the Winter Sniper series by David Healey)
    Daytime soap opera like acting, reliance on flashbacks and heavy with nonsensical plot twists.
    Honestly felt like decisions that you have no control over we're designed to actively troll the player? No seriously. It felt like I was being giving the middle finger for enjoying the original game and it's lead characters relationship.
    Voice acting and script show significant drop in quality from the original. Some lines will make you laugh (Not in a good way).
    Multiple forgettable characters with little overall impact bog down a pointlessly bloated mid section.
    Plot requires the main characters to be significantly dumber than their past selves, possibly to make the many horrendously stupid decisions seem more feasible.
    Frame rate dips well below 30 fps occur with moderate levels of action (Launch PS4. Can't speak for PS4 Pro)
    Combat becomes repetitive and boring.
    Some animations look unnatural. Swinging on rope for example, looks goofy and awkward
    Relentlessly bleak. Never felt any great enjoyment in what I was forced into doing which made it a real slog to play. Murdering at this level probably shouldn't be fun, but that is what i play games for. Fun. This was not fun, Maybe you'll love the constant sensationalized brutality if you're 12. But an experienced gamer will tire of Quicktime event violence for violence sake.
    For all of the SJW talk, there appears to be little reason for the LGBTQ community to feel uplifted with their representation here, other than acknowledgement they exist after the Apocalypse.
    Genuinely wasted opportunity to talk objectively about issues that face LGBTQ daily.
    Some set piece action was cool, but there's no where near enough of it. Puzzle sections from the original are virtually non-existent
    Ending is horrendously stupid, unsatisfying and incredibly, manages to render the entire revenge theme pointless.

    Conclusion.

    With any other game, the good found in the Last of Us 2 would probably earn it a 6/10 as visually and presentation wise, it really is quite beautiful. However I have chosen to knock points off as this is not a traditional game in the sense that game play mechanics are more about serving the narrative than being actually fun to play. This means the core impact of this game almost solely relies on the story nailing its beats, investing the player and holding the audience captive through it's admittedly lengthy play time.
    Here it sadly fails. The Narrative uses a mix of ret-cons, deception, borderline emotional blackmail nonsensical twists to tell a schizophrenic story of "revenge" that is honestly boring, cheap and unsatisfying.

    If there is some good to come from this disappointing experience, hopefully it is a deeper focus on the practices of the mainstream gaming media and their ludicrous 10/10 circlejerk concerning this title.    … Expand

    The game story is too bad, it is difficult to imagine that the game based on the plot will be made like this.

    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]
