    BUT:
    Story: Absolutely disapointing and partially torturing! From the moment I was forced to play Abby I started hating the game. Little did i know that ~ 50% of the game would be like this. And when i had to fight Ellie i died on the inside.

    I think it would have been much more comprehensible, if the entire Abby game-play would have been moved to the beginning of the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For anyone who has played the first game and enjoyed it, just relive that memory of a great story, and do not buy the second one. This game does in fact bring out the best in gameplay, visuals, and mechanics for the playstation 4 but to think this would be past on on from ign as a 10/10 is over exaggerating the whole premise of what made and sold the first game was the story. It made you feel something not try to learn it buy going through flashbacks after flashbacks. Its so hard for me to write this cause, this game came out on my 20th birthday and to think I spent may day getting disappointed, after getting so hyped for just holes in a story i had to uncover through ellies PTSD. This game does make some new renovations towards the gaming world by having a diffrent set of charcters but everyone else seemed so worthless. People would die and their isn't anything, no memorial, no lines just walk over and forget .I wish I could get a refund I couldve spent my hard earned money towards something way better than this scrapped up together pieces of ****… Expand

I am only giving 2 stars for the technical aspects of the game but since this is a heavily story-driven game and also a continuation of a wonderful game the story becomes the biggest factor to consider and since it is worse than trash perhaps my score should be even lower. But the fake advertisements of the game has to take the crown! No, you won't play with nor as Joel at any present time of the game, and you will have to play with joe's horrible killer (Abby) for HOURS upon hours (almost like HALF the game) and then fight Ellie as her!!… Expand

Gameplay pretty much uses the same formula from previous game but its still enjoyable for a while even though i feel like kill animations could have been improved especially runner attack animations which were based only on just 2 sets of movement, you dodge and then you attack and that is it. AI companion system is improved a bit from previous game but still at times it can just run into enemy sight without enemy ai ever noticing.

    Last of Us 2 suffers the most from its narrative direction being a real mess with very much off pacing of story moments. Its lack of understanding of characters which "The Last of Us" mastered on. The first game knew its story is standard and the gameplay is only so much fun till its time and that is the reason why that game focused on the characters and well written dialogue being only 10 - 15 hours long. This game completely forgets about its own main character design with dialogue not so effective and most of the time coming off as cringy and illogical leading to 'SENSELESS' Character Choices that only exists to keep the story moving forward. The story interestingly focuses on the action/choices and its consequences but still failing miserably by contradicting its own point.

    There is no light in this darkness of The Last of Us 2 nor there is anyone looking for it in this game. It breaks my heart looking at this tragedy and misery this game is.    … Expand

    Top-of-the-line screen performance. Extremely bad plot: the narrative rhythm is chaotic, the characters are rigid, the behavior logic is contradictory, a lot of deliberately added elements. The game became a dark mess that seemed grand. Narrative this rat's droppings spoiled a whole cauldron of soup.

Gameplay improves from the first game by adding more to combat, movement, new enemies and improved AI. Combat is more intense with the fact that there isn't much ammo lying around making you rethink each combat scenario whether it would be against humans, dogs and the infected. I like the new infected like stalkers and shamblers which add to the already intense combat with normal humans. I'm glad this game is longer than the first one. This game is a masterpiece.

    You like Joel? Hope you're not attached.
    Oh you like the idea of this game expanding on ellie's story maybe? Well hope you aren't intested in seeing where her life goes cause it's only into the ground.
    At first I was skeptical of the game and hoping for the best, but at the end of the day with a narrative driven game that touts about how cinematic it is, it should have a good story above all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *FYI I did not look at any leaks* TLOU2 finally upon us. 7 long years in the making. I played the first game 24 hours before the second and I gotta say, this is dog **** writing. None of the new characters have any depth and we have no reason to care about them. It’s only after once they die that we get flash backs for them but since they died a couple of hours ago it means nothing at all. Although Lev and his sister were likable characters in this game and I would’ve loved more from them but I cannot say the same for all of the rest of the characters in the game that were introduced. I have absolutely no problem with the trans characters, lesbian characters or even Joel’s death.. But I have to say they’re all so poorly written that I cannot take this game seriously. It’s a joke compared to the first game, all of the mechanics are the same from the first. I fell asleep three time’s playing this because I got so bored playing it. However some positive things about the game include the graphics, music and atmosphere. These things were all done correctly in the game and I had only wished they had wrote everything better and not so lazily.. Abby and Lev's partnership is a direct rip off, of Joel and Ellie but for some reason they made it politically correct? - Again i don't care about the diversity in the game its cool having this implemented into a post apocalyptic game. The narrative to the story is that revenge is bad and so is killing and its forced down your throat throughout the whole play through. If i had to give this game a rating I'd give it a stinky 3/10 while its apart of the TLOU title. If this was a independent game then i'd give it a 5/10.. those are my final thoughts.… Expand

    this is nothing like the first game. this has a completely different atmosphere with revenge and hatred driving every character's decisions, unlike the original whereas love and companionship formed ellie and joel's relationship. the story of ellie's hatred showed the realistic side of relationships, not just the "happy ending" part that we're always so used to, which is why i believe that those who did not enjoy the game were expecting to have everything work out the way they hoped. because of this, i can see why a lot of people didn't like part II. there were definitely times where i rushed the gameplay just to get a level over with. however, we were told that this game wasn't going to be for everyone and good lord Neil Druckmann was not lying. at some parts, it made me feel like an absolute monster and a piece of **** not just because we were being forced to kill dogs, but because i genuinely HATED what i was doing at one point to my opponent. there were a **** ton of twists that kept happening, especially towards the end. so many things were so heart wrenching, and others were heart warming at the same time, but i do admit that some parts were pretty badly executed and some characters absolutely sucked which kinda took away from the story. the whole idea of the game was to emphasize how everything won't have a "good happy ending," which made players think about the realistic side of life, especially when dealing with someone extremely close to you in a post-apocalyptic world. overall, tlou p2 was a rollercoaster of emotions and made me sob multiple times, but also gave me mixed feelings. unfortunately, it didn't come close the amount of appreciation and love i have for the first game because that was the true masterpiece itself.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Now I'm pretty sure I can speak for every Last of Us Part 1 fans we wanted this game. Now that I have seen this game I'm not sure if I do anymore. The game mechanics/play is still good if not amazing because not only did they keep it the same but added new mechanics such as the prone action, the crouch action, and the Dodge action. The graphics are 10/10 if this series wasn't based off of how **** good the stories were this review would be WAY higher than a 3. But now we get into the storytelling of this game. I want to start off by talking about how Joel died. Now I came into this game expecting this hell I didn't even see the leaks. I already knew Joel was probably going to die and I accepted that, but before this game came out I toid my buddy "Hey if they kill off Joel in a **** way instead of a good one like saving Ellie for example i'm gonna **** blow my goddamn brains out." It's sad to say that they did that. Now I understand making him die for a revenge plot is what they needed to do but the way he died was not what he deserved. Like Joel said at the start of the game "You go halfway across the country with someone." That was our relationship with Joel. Since 2013 we loved him and played that game over and over and over and loved him. We never wanted him to go. Now for the more serious part of this death that was not so great was they had to make Joel act like he isn't him anymore or be dumber than he has been for the past 24 years in that outbreak so he could get in a ambush and die. Like is he even Joel at this point he was easily able to spot a ambush in the first game. He even says his name to random people and him and Tommy both say where they stay. That is so retarded from his standpoint. I know if that was TLOU Part 1 he either would have let Abby die or save her and run away with Tommy back home or just **** kill her. Because that would be sketchy that armed people are near the town. Now lets get into the Abby part. Theres no way we will ever like her I don't care how much you make us feel for her we will never stop ranting until she gets her brains blown out. You want to know why. Because Naughty Dog decided to put her motive to killing Joel in the 2nd or 3rd act instead of the start of the game. That is like showing Sarah die in TLOU part 1 at the end instead of the start. Now the Ending Is stupid. Throughout the entire game its about revenge for Joel. Its funny because Ellie saw a half of a second of a flashback She decides to spare Abby. What. The. **** might I add after Abby bites Ellie's Fingers off TOO. Also what how they could of put Joel in that situation in the first place better was make Abby save his life so he trusted her more and got killed. It's also stupid that Abby doesn't even think "Wow he **** saved my life should I even kill him anymore" Nope shes just **** kills him without remorse. So thats it with Abby the start of a **** character. Now the False Advertising with Joel. I'm guessing Naughty Dog realized if people knew it wasn't going to be mostly with Ellie and Joel they wouldn't buy it knowing that's what made the first game so good. They false advertised just to get us to buy the game and then later feel betrayed by Naughty Dog because they did us so dirty just for **** money. Don't make a sequel just for money. Make it to be better than the first and make people love the franchise. Not milk it for everything it has and ruin the franchise. What also makes me mad they use LGBTQ to get people to buy the game. Literally Dina's purpose/personality/character arc is just to be Ellie's Lesbian girlfriend. Almost forgot to also say "Im pregnant" That's her entire character. Now Bill from the first game. It's very subtle but Bill is actually Gay. The partner Frank was his boyfriend. But they didn't touch into this subject alot because they didn't want his character just to be I'm Gay. They wanted him to be a paranoid alone man who lives alone and doesn't trust anybody. Or Mortal Kombat X where it did this a tad bit worse but still had it go well saying I can't They won't Accept..." Then Raiden would say "they care only about what is in your heart. Not whom your heart desires." They Normalized both characters not making their entire character arc about being Gay Lesbian etc. I don't like what they did to Jesse as well. He is funny and likeable to many in my opinion at least to me. and is becomes after being the smart guy to run out the door knowing their is a intruder. Like you tell everybody to be careful and give all these tips yet you get yourself **** killed. Kinda like how Joel died. Most negative reviews will give this a zero but I don't I love the gameplay I love the graphics. I hate the story, but if a Multiplayer ever comes and it's good. this game will be better. Hell most negative reviewers might put their point up just a few up. This is my review it's all opinions but I wish Naughty dog didn't ruin this franchise I loved goodbye TLOU P2… Expand

    I don't know where to start with why this game is so absolutely awful, but I think it's fair to say that it begins and ends with Druckmann, and Naughty Dog's, goal of pushing a liberal narrative and "sticking it" to the gamers, rather than putting together a cohesive story that followed the established character psyche from the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Story Is Written Badly:
    1. Ellie, Joel & Abby: All of the flashbacks between Joel & Ellie should've been played out in the beginning of the game, as events that simply follow TLOU 1 and happen in real time. Abby's flashback with Marlene & her Dad's death should have been the nightmare she was having before she wakes up when we first meet her. This would have helped the audience understand Abby better. She also should have been made more objectively likeable. She should have shown more remorse after killing Joel and other characters in the game, she should have been more sympathetic & understanding to her friends. We should get to know Abby and play as her during the same time Joel and Ellie are still alive and we're playing as them, with the same amount of gameplay for each narrative. We could cut between the two storylines in gameplay from both Ellie and Abby's adolescence to adulthood in real time.
    2. Joel's actions in TLOU 2 are antithetical to his character and don't make sense. Tommy telling them where they were from was just dumb. To solve this, they shouldn't have said anything about where they really came from and instead, Abby could have overheard Tommy saying Joel's name while in conversation, that way she could signal to her crew or say, "that's him." This would change the way the crew is acting and add to the tension, causing Joel & Tommy to be suspicious. 3: Joel's Death Scene: The next problem is the way Abby kills Joel. This scene should occur, way later in the game, with the story being built to this moment, probably widway through the story. Abbys crew should be smaller, just Abby, Owen, Mel, & Manny, who face Joel, Tommy, Ellie & Dina, all relatively in the same scene. Having her kill him by beating him to death after he saves her life does not help her case. There should have been a lot more hesitation from her to kill him (personally, I feel like he should have died protecting Ellie). In my mind, Joel should have blurted out, "I just saved your life", which would make her hesitate with the golf club in the air, Ellie pops in and shoots Abby in her hand, dropping the club. Abby pulls her gun out about to shoot Ellie when Joel manages to get in the way of her shot, saving Ellie, but now dieing. Abby is shook by her actions as she sees Ellie crying over Joel's body, holding him the exact same way that Joel held his dieing daughter Sarah in the first game. Abby, still in shock, books it with her crew before Dina catches up, finding Ellie with Joel in her arms. In this version, Ellie and Joel get to share some last words and Ellie will feel the life slowly slip away from Joel, but there will be enough life left for him to sing a little of the song Future Days while Ellie sings along. With a soft smile, Joel slips away. He just gave his life for her, and its in this moment she fully realizes why he saved her life all those years ago!
    4. New, somewhat established characters are killed off too quickly. For example Jesse is never mentioned again after he dies abruptly. Its like he never existed in the story to begin with. Instead, when Abby shoots him, it should be somewhere not immediately lethal, and Ellie should acknowledge this by kneeling down and trying to stop the bleeding, Jesse is suffering meanwhile. Abby angrilly tells her to get up, Ellie says, "hes gonna die, we need to get him help." Abby says, voice choking in emotion, "where was the help when you shot my friends dead, huh?" getting closer to Ellie. "Mel was pregnant!" Now the gun is near Ellie's head. Jesse bleeds out, not able to speak and is now dead. Ellie closes his eyes, shaken by what's just happen and slowly stands up. She says to Abby, solemnly, "Listen, I know why you killed Joel, I get it. But this needs to end, now. No more blood shed." Abby can reply, "You should have thought of that when I gave you two the chance to live, but instead you waisted it by coming back. And now, two more people I love very much, are dead," she starts to cry. The events that come after that can play out in a similar way they do in the game.
    5. Abby's Look makes no sense: Her head did not match her manbody. She has a feminine face and a very masculine, male body. She looks more realistic at the very end of the game than anywhere else. She has a built body, but more naturally framed to what a built woman would look like, and she has a haircut that fits her better than the braid. She should have looked like this the entire game, it was sorta badass. Her character look needed to fit who she was, which was a straight woman. Her sex scene should have shown this somehow, there sould have been more "love" in this love scene. Instead, because of her body, it is off putting.
    6.The trailers should have been more honest. People should have not been decieved, thinking that cetain scenes in the trailers will happen in the game, but instead they happen as flashbacks when he is younger, or with other characters.    … Expand

    Joel's death is justified, Abby is a great character and the story, while it lacks consistency at some points, is extremely solid. Many people are angry about the end but what I can say about it is that it makes sense for Ellie and the narrative as a whole. If you didn't saw that, you should be analyzing more what is happening.

    Naughty Dog did it again and even if I was doubting them at some point because of the rocky path towards release, I'd still spend those $60 on this game. Worth every penny.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, the negative reviews of this game I just don’t get. Sure, fans are entitled to their own opinion(s) and I respect that but with that being said so am I.

    This is an absolutely amazing game from start to finish probably top 5 ever made an absolute masterpiece for sure, hands down!!!. I found myself, after putting the controller down for a bit asking myself, is this a game, feels like I am in a Hollywood blockbuster just as I did with the first game. Sure I do agree with some of the fan’s take on insertion and the vagueness of the story without adding to overall character development however that’s not what the mission of this game was. I believe ND wanted to convey a blanket story of the overall visceral nature of revenge. Quite honestly when I heard some of the reviews that stated that the violence in this game was “traumatizing” or how some stated things such as “why am I playing this game” or “it made me feel so bad for humanity” I thought to myself “wow, what kind of things did ND put into this game” to make people say such things, then I played it. There was nothing in this game that made me feel no more apathetic or uninvested than watching an episode of the walking dead. If anything it could have used more brutality given what happens to the two main protagonists (there is a third one) however I believe ND let up on it a bit to make you feel more in tune with the struggles of its main characters decisions throughout the whole of the game.

    Once I reached the halfway point of this game ND was playing with my emotions hardcore! I went from wanting nothing more than for Ellie to bring nothing short of the worst sort of reckoning upon a group of people to sympathizing with the main “antagonist” and then eventually my emotions culminating with being torn on who I wanted to see succeed. That my friends is great story telling and writing for that matter. One thing I will say though is shame on ND for toying with us in the trailers and commercial spots. I wanted so much for that to be this mind blowing twist of events when you get to the point in the game when a hand covers up your mouth (moment from the trailer) and in fact it’s Jesse and not Joel like the trailer showed but who are we kidding, Movies do this all of the time...lol!

    After all that being said if there was Oscar’s for games, this one took every award home. Definitley GOTY!!!! Bravo NG! Please just don’t let it be this long of a wait for the third installment!    … Expand

    But what makes us buy the game is 80% the storyline. It's just a revenge story which is very common and cheap in Asian. You can find a ton of movies or novels like this back in 90s or in early 2000. This kind of revenge story is very old and out of date, and cheap. I was expecting something better:
    Joel's death is a good idea, but you don't know how to make it logical. How about he die as a hero saving Abby from something. He sacrifice his life as an apologize to her. It would be more meaningful, and we could have loved Abby, too. And Ellie is not John Wick going everywhere killing people like a machine but she eventually spared Abby - the one who had killed Joel. It doesn't make any sense psychologically.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never usually write reviews for games, but I felt in this case it was necessary. Before playing the game, I avoided all trailers, spoilers and leaks. I waited years for this game, and words cannot describe how disappointed I am.
    Firstly, there are several elements to the game which are incredible. Naughty Dog have put blood, sweat and tears into this game and it shows in many areas. The visual scenes in this game are breath taking. The attention to detail for the environments is credit worthy. I would say the visuals are the best I have seen from any game. The customisation with difficulty settings, as well as accessibility is ground breaking in my opinion. That is however, where the good points end.
    The gameplay is quite similar to the first game. However, the addition of going prone and jumping is a welcome one. However, I was disappointed with the lack of puzzle solving in this game. In the first game, you would use the wooden planks, ladders etc to make it from point to point. This allowed a break from the violent killing of humans and infected. This game severely lacked this and as a result the gameplay turned into run, kill and move to the next area. With a game time of around 30 hours this became very monotonous towards the end. This is a shame considering the rope mechanics introduced in the game were incredible but sadly under used.
    The major disappointment and unforgiving in my eyes is the story. The premise of the story is revenge over the death of Joel. The plot holes start here. Joel was of cautious of everyone. In the first game, this was apparent when he knew the "injured" man on the road, while they were driving, was faking it. However, in this game he conveniently trusts a stranger and follows her to her base which is filled with more strangers. He seems to trust them, Tommy even invites them back to Jacksonville! In my opinion this was lazy writing. They needed to find a way to get Joel into that position, however this was poorly executed.
    The biggest problem is playing half the game as Abby. Once she has killed Joel in such a fashion she is irredeemable. As you play her, she is made to be more human. However, I already saw that her killing of Joel was justified. He killed her father. An eye for an eye. But forcing us to play as her in an attempt for us to like her was terrible. We played as Joel for an entire game, so I don't understand how doing a long winded side mission with Abby would somehow turn us to her side. If the game introduced us to Abby and showed her perspective after the hospital, and then led up to Joel, rather than flashbacks this may have been more effective.
    One of the most enjoyable aspects of the last of us was the relationship between Ellie and Joel. There was no character building of any of the main characters like Dina and Jesse. Jesse is killed and I didn't feel much since I didn't know much about him. If Dina was removed and Ellie went solo, there wouldn't be much of a difference. This shows how little Dina mattered in the grand scheme of things. More development between the two should have occurred.
    The icing on the cake is the ending, which is shocking. Ellie finds her way back to Abby after everything, to take her revenge. She slaughters an entire settlement to get there. A fight ensues and Abby bites off two of Ellie's fingers. Yet after all of this, Ellie feels that Abby should be spared? In the end we see that Ellie can no longer play the guitar since she is missing fingers, she has lost her family and friends and has nothing to show for it. The game tries to display the message that endless violence is never the answer. However, they fail to account for all the potential people who could come after Ellie after Seattle or after Santa Barbara. Moreover, they allow Abby to get her revenge but Ellie is denied.
    There are too many flaws in the plot to note. The aspect of the story I did enjoy was the flashbacks with Ellie. These were very well written and reminded me of the first game. I would have rather preferred an entire game of such flashbacks than what we got.
    I have noticed several people find the politician tones of the game appalling. Personally the addition of gay/trans did not affect me at all. It did not add or retract anything from the game. I would not rate down a game for that imo.
    Overall the game is a let down. I would still say it is worth a play purely from the visual aspects. However, do not have high expectations.    … 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.

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]
