    Just finished the game.
    Wanted to give a 8 but gave a 10 because of all of the fake negative scores. The gameplay, was truly impressive and I'm really satisfied with all of the mechanics. And TLoU II achieved that while remained loyal to the original game.

    In my opinion, the end of the story was a bit too long. Every time you expect the game to get near its end, just another story starts. The writers had a lot of things to say, and I understand that. But it's the art of the director to shave the story, and sort the story parts in a way, that everything ends in a climaxing way. Like what happened with the promise at the end of the TLoU. This kind of ending, was what TLoU II was really missing.

The atrocity that was supposed to be one of the greatest games, goes down as one of the worst forms of media entertainment I have ever experienced! They kill off Joel, in the most juvenile way, then make you play 80% of the game as his killer. Then with that character you have to fight Ellie. They made Ellie and Joel complete bad guys and what you to fall in love and side with this Abby character, who has no depth or likeness to her at all. Not to mention she beats Joel to death within the first hour of the game but we are just supposed to side with her and care about what drives her? And to care and understand why she killed him? We are here for Joel and Ellie, to experience the amazing bond and story between them! Not to mention that Abby is terribly written. I did not care at all about her. And the ending Ellie lets her go.. kills everyone else. But let’s the main character who **** up her life go and be happy. Joel, Ellie, and the huge community behind the first last of us, we all deserved better. Neil should be ashamed of himself. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As to be expected from Naughtydog this game is absolutely gorgeous graphically and environmentally. I wont spend a lot of time talking about this because I dont think anyone could doubt this aspect of a naughty dog game. Although none of this games relationships shine near as bright as Joel and Ellie's in the first one, I find their are just too many positive moments for that alone to ruin the experience. At first I was not excited to play such a large portion of the game as Abby, the absolute unit of an antoganist. After a while of assuming her existence as being pure evil, I began to realize her motivations were just as justified as any of Joel and Ellie's. This game took the conflict you felt when pulling the trigger that killed the doctor in the original game and spread it out through an entire campaign. I think the reason so many negative reviews are coming out is because of an emotional bias to Joel and Ellie and having to truly accept that the strength of their relationship does not truly justify all of their actions. By the end of Abbys portion of the game, i was attatched to the pure badassery of her being but not completely sold on her as person. Although I wasnt sold on her as i person I was sold on her motivation and ready to fight for what she was fighting for. Between scenes of disturbing moral imperative the game slips in flashbacks, that do a wonderful job of bringing you back down to the root of what you are doing and why you are truly doing it. Between each of these cut scenes the game delivers a beautifully refined amount of gameplay. The gameplay itself is beyond enjoyable and is crafted in a way that allows you to create your own experience. Each segment of gameplay felt like a cinematic experience in its own rights. It was a huge improvement from the first game in this regard. Another thing this game did better then the original was create absolutely remarkable, adrenaline inducing expriences both in cutscene and beautifully crafted cinematic gameplay. Not to say the original didnt have these experiences but part 2 just delivered it in a way that truly had my heart racing. Every single time i felt like I might not be able to continue, the game delivered a perfectly timed cut scene and although I never knew what point in time or what character the cut scene was going to bring me to, it always did an amazing job of grounding me and giving me the motivation to keep moving forward. This game is Dark, chaotic, repulsive, beautiful and capsulating. It delivers an experience that rivals the excitement and sentiment of the first one and after finishing my first play through I am ready to jump right in to my second. This game is a master piece.

Hi everyone, I am a big fan of the TLOU Pt1 it’s one of the most emotional games I’ve ever played and I was really excited to see the 2nd part, the beginning of it was ok, but after Joel’s death it became too difficult to play it, it’s like you got hit or slap in a face, I felt emptiness and sadness during whole game.... 2nd part ruined all positive and warm feelings about Joel’s and Ellie’s relationship, there are too much misunderstandings from Ellie...it’s horrible...how they could do that to him...after all this years of waiting...what they were thinking about???...what the hell?!?!...I just want to forget this piece of crap!!!
    If 1st part of this game means something to you and it’s not just ordinary game for you - don’t waste your time, money and impressions.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game looks fantastic, lighting, visuals, and game play are spot on. Although, the story is very lacking in terms of how good it is and compared to the first game, this is piss poor. For someone who played the original over 10 times, this just isn't it. (SPOILER) Seeing one of our most beloved characters in a franchise (Joel), be treated in such a way by a very STUPID and UNNEEDED character (Abby) is beyond me. They even went as far as to make Joel and Tommy seem like they have never had experience in an apocalypse, these 2 would never walk into a room with a bunch of strangers, let alone save someone without at least questioning them first. I'm not sure what went through the writers' heads at Naughty Dog, but this just isn't The Last of Us for me. Game play, physics, lighting, and visuals are really the only positive thing about this game. If you're a hardcore Last of Us 1 fan, don't buy this, it will ruin everything you loved about the first game. Expand

    It's trash. Pure trash. I don't know what Druckmann was thinking. Years and years of hype and THIS is what came of it. It's heartless, cynical, boring, and at times quite sadistic. There was a clear agenda when this game was made and NONE of it was out of love and affection for the player, the key person who is paying for this garbage.

The voice acting was fine, but sadly the characters were incredibly shallow, and the story was lacking. It's a copy paste from another character and they try to sell you an opinion the entire game. If it wasn't so political, it wouldn't have had such a backlash. They take everything you liked from the first game and take a steaming sh*t on it. The villain they chose is generic AF and all the death scenes are stale and flat out disrespectful to the community. Instead of a game about mushroom zombies in an apocalyptic survival setting you get a political movie about 3 girls and their love interest. Also who TF waits a year to get their revenge… Expand

    I'm not entirely sure how a sequel to one of the best games ever can come out and be this terrible. The gameplay is fine, although there is a bit too much of the walking/talking. The graphics are amazing. But the story and what they have done to beloved characters from the first game might be some of the worst writing and decision making I've witnessed in the industry.

The game also has a lot of "tolerance" moments, especially when the developers changed the skin color of the characters from the first part, Bravo! (the scene where Joel saves Ali in the hospital).
    Technically, the game is perfectly worked out, my respect to all those who were engaged in development.

    They killed off the characters, in the dumbest way possible. The script writing on this game was done for monkeys, not humans. Its ridiculous and very hard to play let alone believe. The director and all his puppets involved must not care about the fans and all those who helped them get to where they now are. Im saddened and disgusted at how this game turned out and that all the **** added to it. Keep your sexual beliefs and agendas to yourself. This crap has no place for games, the first part was perfect so why ruin it ? Having said all this, I traded in the game after about 10 hours + play..... YES , it was THAT BAD. And no i dont do that with any of my other games, even the bad ones , i tend to see them out till the end. This was disgusting. Thanks idiots for ruining my favourite game and the characters I and many others loved so much.

That message they wanted to give us is a total contradiction. A lousy narrative with a message that is not convincing. If you are true fans, this game is going to make you mad.

    I want to preface this by saying that I have no problems with the diversity of the cast. With that said, this game is miserable. The original Last of Us was a game about hope and a broken man learning to love again. This game takes those themes and butchers them.

    I don't mind sequels having a different tone or twists and turns, but as I played through the game I honest to god thought that the developers 1) hate their audience and 2) hate their protagonists.

    I played through the original Last of Us probably 5 times, it's the only game of the previous generation I did that with (I normally don't even finish games). I can't imagine picking this game up ever again, and honestly I wish i'd never played it. I'm sure this game will sell like gangbusters, but I think if the developers ever try their hand at TLOU3, they'll quickly find how many of their fans they left behind with this entry.

    This game was absolutely masterpiece for about 30 hours. I wanted to give it 10 of 10. And then the end comes. Probably the worst story end which I've seen. And end of story is most important part of story. Sorry Naughty Dog but you bring me back memories on 8th series of GoT and you screw it up even more.

    Extremely bad script writing.
    Disgraceful characters.
    No real improvement gameplay wise.
    Disgusting lead characters... (Not Joel or Ellie)
    Pandering to their own sexual agendas...

    It has the same gameplay of the 1st game and the expected graphics of a PS4 game: 5 points.

    It butchered an already developed character (pun intended) and has a sub par plot riddled with identity politics. Its a game that feels nothing like the 1st: -5 points.

    Total: 0 points.

    But it doesnt come without a cost, unfortunately the reveal trailer was a let down since it was false advertisement on Joel's behalf, feel betrayed by it , and a huge letdown , by the plot itself if it was introduced in maybe a different way , its amazing , i liked the ending ,it showed supperiority, after all Joel's Killer was not that different herself from Joel. its a review on the 5th note cause the game is the peak of what a ps4 game could ever hope to achieve. #JusticeForJoel

So all the drama, all the fighting, all the killing, it was all for nothing? How can you end a game like this? So much potential in the characters but you guys didn't use it! And then Abby gets away? I mean yes not all stories have a good ending but this is way too much. I realize that most of the characters were completely irrelevant, most of them were saved and then all killed. I mean the story makes no sense at all. So basically I just run around saving people in this entire game so that I lose all of them or kill some of them I mean what is this? On top of that, I run around with a huge hate for Abby and then realize that she gets away? After all this hate ellie had? I mean please. So how does last of us 3 look like, we change our mind and decide to go find Abby and kill her? What a waste of characters, even Abby the person I hated most could have had a better role in this game. The game could have been epic if the story would match the rest (match the sick graphics, music and atmosphere) 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.
