    I am honestly so heartbroken. This game is so beautiful and fun to play. But that's it.
    The story is so horribly badly written I can't even understand why and how that happened?
    Self-inserting of the game devs was what shocked me the most. Do it in a fun way. But THIS?
    Disgusting.

    I wish I would have saved this money for something else.

    Visuellement ce jeu est magnifique , les infectes sont bien faits et l'ambientation aussi et puis le gameplay on peut dire qu'il est bien le problème c'est que c'est trop SJW déjà j'aime pas sa mais en plus il traite les personnages comme de la mrd si vous jouez ou vous avez vu les spoilers vous comprendrez pourquoi en résumé un jeu magnifique ruine par son histoire de merde.

Killing one of the few interesting characters and forcing you to play almost half of the game as the antagonist you despise is not how you make a good game. Quite boring and pointless story for a story driven game. Best pretend this sequel doesn't exist and savour the memories from last game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A bunch of friends and I decided to buy one copy for all for all of us to take turns playing at one of our houses after hearing about the storyline. We couldn't believe a company would do what's been said on the net. We had to know for ourselves with as least cost possible
    I have to say, at least the game-play and control was decent, actually improved. Well except the button bashing X. What the heck, why is that a thing in 2020?
    The supporting game engine is impressive. The world is detailed and well done, if only there was continuity. Face animations are many times border line creepy though.
    But that's where the good of this game ends.
    FYI were only maybe half done with the game as I write this. The story from the original was absolutely destroyed! The main character Joel is killed off a early in the game, and none of the new characters are relatable. Ellie plots her vengeance on Joel's killer (Abby), but then you get stuck playing as Abby. What? Why?
    The narrative is forced, and poorly executed (so far)
    Who the heck was this meant for anyway? No one here really likes where this has gone. It pisses off pretty much everyone, including our 2 friends in the LGBTQ community.
    We get into these games for escapism from reality.
    Why do we need to be slapped in the face with an agenda, I personally find shoving in politics into an otherwise good escapism game *offensive*.
    It barely makes sense a lot of the time, there are scenes included that have no additive effect to be in here.
    Glad we didn't all spend money on this.

    Update: We are many hours into the game now. .. Nope We haven't changed our minds. It's only become more irritating. The game story does not flow well at all. One moment you're trying to save yourself by button bashing X, next your dropped into a cutscene. After the cutscene(s) you find yourself trying to figure out where the hell you are now and why. The puzzles are, well for the lack of fitting words... Uninspired. They feel like a child trying to make up a game for an adult with a "gotcha" The characters make me angry, You never get a decent back story you can connect with for (at least as far as we have gotten) for Abby. I loved the first game for how you can connect with the characters. Well we have a copy, so we will try to finish it out but.. I'm pretty sure that we all agree this is a MASSIVE letdown I just can't believe THIS game is what they came up with as a sequel to The Last of Us.    … Expand

    Never have I been more excited for a game when it was announced. Same studio working on it, Joel and Ellie back but more older and more mature, a darker storyline...everything seemed so perfect. How could you really screw that up ? but oh boy, screw it up they did, and royally.

Same studio working on it, Joel and Ellie back but more older and more mature, a darker storyline...everything seemed so perfect. How could you really screw that up ? but oh boy, screw it up they did, and royally.
    But let's start off with the positives - visually the game is fantastic. the voice acting, cutscenes and music are still top-notch. As a player, I could tell a lot of effort went into making these aspects fantastic. But even these part of the game come with a catch.
    the voice acting is great, but is delivered by some of the most unlikable, preachy and just downright bad characters I've seen in games. The game tries very hard to make you like these characters, to understand their perspective and why they are the way that they are, but this just doesn't work. The turn from " hate these guys" to "try to understand and love them" comes too late in the story to change the players' mind about the characters and even then, it' s like the writers knew they were running out of time in the story and try to push the likability on the player too much and too quickly. i was just bored and uninterested. The game is heavily focused on trying to switch your point of view on the events of the first game, as well. many deep questions like :" WHO' S REaLlY ThE BaD PEoPLe?!" are asked. the story is handled in such an amateur fashion I'm shocked it got any traction in the writers room at all. Many events, characters and moments from the first game are actively discarded and spit on.
    Visually the game is fantastic, but after 15 hours of the same "Small town with rusted cars and buildings" environments, it gets just a little obnoxious. the tall grass looks fantastic, but damn.
    the gameplay remains mostly unchanged from the first game, but small tweaks and refinements were made, I must admit. Nothing groundbreaking, but that's that.
    the only parts of the game I genuinely enjoyed were some of the flashback sequences with Joel and Ellie. specifically the museum section. it was touching, delightful, the dialogue had warmth, care and it was spoken by two well-developed characters who had a believable history with each other. once that scene ended, it was back to garbage.
    The game is also just a chore to finish, it drags in the last 6 hours and it's very hard to find motivation to keep going till the end.
    From a story perspective it's a complete mess. it looks very nice and plays okay, but visuals and stealth gameplay were not the elements i cared about in " the last of us". I cared about the story. And there' s just nothing here for me. bad characters, uninteresting story, boring scenarios...it' s devoid of any enjoyment.
    I won't be recommending this game to anyone I know and will be trying my darndest to completely forget this games existence.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very mediocre storyline, everything seems very forced.

    Joel's death was extremely forced and dumb, they could have developed a more complex or interesting storyline for Joel's death but no. He encounters some random people in the forest, gets in the basement of a random house and get killed, just like that, the main character from TLOU1 and probably the main character of TLOU franchise gets killed in the most dumb way. Then you play like half of the game with a character you never heard about and you really don't care.

    Then, you play with Ellie and the whole storyline about "I must revenge Joel's death but my wife doesn't want to so when I came back she was no longer at home" is extremely cliché.

    Oh and by the way, you play hours with Ellie just to finally find Abby and let her go, so you literally played all that for nothing.

    I really don't understand what Neil Druckmann was thinking    … Expand

I think seeing their perspective was supposed to make me feel for them but I honestly just spent the second half of the game wanting them dead. The ending felt daft too, like a big waste. Its not a 0 by any means but its not a 10 either. Also yes there is a bit of £representation" in the game but it doesn't really beat you over the head with it, much like the first game didn't (in fact there were a fair few people who didn't even realize it was in the first game).

    Do NOT pay any attention to the user score for this game. This is a 25-30 hour game and people are leaving reviews a few hours after it came out, obviously just review bombing even though they haven’t played the game.

    The 1 and 0s are not helping the cause, this is not a worthless game, it had a tremendous amount of work poured into it, but let's be honest, in absolutely no way this is a 10 or even a 9, this only makes things suspicious for the actual consumers, i think journalists are more in the job of "stick it to those gamers" than doing their actual job, they write to their blue checkmark friendsThe 1 and 0s are not helping the cause, this is not a worthless game, it had a tremendous amount of work poured into it, but let's be honest, in absolutely no way this is a 10 or even a 9, this only makes things suspicious for the actual consumers, i think journalists are more in the job of "stick it to those gamers" than doing their actual job, they write to their blue checkmark friends on twitter and not for the people they are supposed to write, i am almost sure the "woke" aura this game has impacted positively in the reviews, obviously i cannot prove it and that's the sad part, these kind of scores make me trust even less the media.

    Now when it comes to the game, i'll be honest, it is booring af, and the story drags itself painfully, i literally have no interest in finishing this game, gameplay is repetitive it's a more polished version of TLOU but at the end TLOU was never great because of it's gameplay, TLOU 2 feels soulless like if they changed the team behind the game, it tries to grip to the legacy but at the same time it tries to forget it when it matters the most.

    I'm not even gonna touch the woke aspect of the game, we already know what they were going for, we already know who Druckman is and what he believes in, i think it was a terrible decision to go that way, but hey i bet there are some individuals who will enjoy that, right?    … Expand

It is basically a one dimension revenge story, with something of a story that really plays on the worse of us and not progressing any moral improvement but simply just portray everyone as the worse. Marketing of this game and early reviews of the game push the narrative you'll be playing the characters you loved from the original, it is not the case, basically one of the key characters from first game is basically murdered for the sake of murdering him early in and you then get to play the character that murder for the majority of this trash. There is nothing to love about the new characters, nothing attractive or sticky to make you enjoy play the game, it is basically all about pointless violence for no reason.

    So writing is basically lazy, uninspired, and seems to play to the twitter rosenspires and not really to the anyone that is actually a fan of the original game but basically an audience that actually doesn't even play games but love to complain about them.

    Basically this game is a waste of time, you're never going to get those hours back and tbh you'd be better off grabbing any other game and playing that.

    Finally, there is a massive double standard with some of the content that Sony have allowed to be in the game in comparison to other titles on PS4.

    The sounds, the voice-acting, and the performances done by most of the cast do a great job. The things that drag this game down to a cold and dark abyss is the writing and overall direction.

    The dialogue is written haphazardly and shoddily, old characters feel like caricatures of their actual selves and new characters ARE caricatures as they don't bring any depth and are as bland as unseasoned chicken.

    The decisions characters make are laughably comical, people change their minds on a whim and in a game trying to be serious it feels like someone made a painting of a lifelike stick figure pretending it was a work from Michelangelo.

    Gameplay though improved from the original still works and is at best serviceable to get to the main and end objective of a Last of Us game which is the story. The combat looks better, and feels a bit better but its like putting a fresh coat of paint and asphalt over a bridge you've gone over for years. It'll get you to you're destination.

    And the journey that this game will be taking you through will be filled with shock value, things are not setup properly, payoffs are weak and disappointing, things will happen that will be attributed to the game world being harsh and unforgiving but in reality are just dumb and not thought out.

    The game features a meandering plot, flashbacks, and just not a hint of remorse for the players that will be, in the vein of The Last of Us Part II, torn to pieces towards silly plot-points, long side "missions", and an ending that would and should make the player feel absolutely sick to their stomach and not in any way signifying that the story works. It is because the story how ever you look at it does not work that the player feels betrayed, abandoned, and baffled.

    Six to seven years of development, Neil Druckmann and all the other higher ups in Naughty Dog that let this happen wasted fan goodwill, wasted the efforts of the graphic team, the technical team, the sound team, and all the other hardworking men and women trying to bring entertainment and enjoyment to the people.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wrote a 5000 word review, Metacritic deleted it. So here I am again with a TL;DR this time.

    The whole game is a vengeance quest. ND forces us to play as the villain for almost half the game to elicit empathy for the antagonist but fails miserably mostly due to horrid writing and unlikable characters. Imagine playing as Micah in RDR2 and Rockstar expecting us to feel empathy for him by giving him a love interest and a dog. In this case, we get the daughter of random NPC that Joel killed in TLOU1, Abby, who gets her revenge (kills Joel within the first two hours of the game) and rides off into the sunset. Ellie, who has somehow not fallen into one of the many gaping plot holes in the story is now left alone sans two fingers, Dina's gone, Joel's dead. She walks off into the forest.

    The end.
    2/10 - Would not play again

To be honest, no one loved the first one because of the gameplay, it was the story. The game works. It looks amazing, no bugs or glitches. Great work as far as making the game. Now the story is trash. The TLDR: Joel dies. And not in some sacrificing for the power of love type of way. Just beat in the head with a golf club. Ellie and friends go for revenge. They all make stupid decisions and die. You play as Abby and beat the crap out of Ellie and her girlfriend. As Ellie you save Abby and get beat up again. You get 2 fingers bitten off and your relationship with your girl is destroyed. You go through all of this, just to let Abby live. WTF. At least have the balls to follow though at this point. Ellie goes the whole game murdering people and animals left and right, just to not kill the bad guy. And yes I consider Abby the bad guy. I don't have any sympathy for her.

None of them are relatable or easy to care about, even Ellie and Joel are so detached from what they were I grew to hate them, even tho with Joel I barely got any time with him before plot brain kicked in and got him killed. This story is a spit on the legacy of the first, I remember getting the first one in 2013 and staying up to late to go to work the next day and instead of sleeping i kept playing and beat the game in 1 sitting, with Part 2 i took multiple breaks after rolling my eyes to many early story points and when they made me take over the awful character that killed a good character I lost all interest in pushing to the end. I will no long be supporting the company, if they are going to work their employees to the brink of death the least they could do is actually give a quality product.

The abuse that Naughty Dog put on their employees is grounds for an investigation and crippling fines, with Sony the complacent enablers.
