    Firstly, Naughty Dog made a trailer for the game about 4 years ago, and a character was replaced In the actual game from the trailer scene, so basically A 4 year long false advertising, that is the worse thing you can do to someone who waited 4 years for a SEQUEL just to get JEBAITED because it doesn’t feel like a Sequel with the very VERY BAD STORY.

    And you don’t need to make every character in the game a Female just to prove that you are a Feminist Company, just make another new game BUT DONT RUIN THE SEQUEL BY TURNING IT INTO A RANDOM GAME.

    Gg Naughty Dog for pissing off The Last Of Us fans.

Looks like Sony got their devoted fans to spam this game with 10s cause it's not allowed to have a bad user score. and since you are here thinking about to defend this game's generic third person game-play that feels like a straight up copy of the tomb-raider reboot, or the story that quite frankly takes cues from saturday morning cartoons for it's attempt to make you sympathise with a killer by making her pet dogs and help people while the main character that tries to avenge her father figure is made to look as bad as the writer was able to by making her kill hundreds of people, some dogs and a pregnant woman. the theme of "revenge bad" is also completely lost since Abby got her revenge on Joel and gets to go home completely scot-free while Ellie stops her revenge at the last second due to a short vision of Joel's dead corpse. how does seeing a vision of your father figure's lifeless and beaten up body make you stop killing the person who made him this way? i honestly don't know, it makes no sense. so yeah Dr. "100 brains" Uckmann is a hack who only got the last of us to work cause Bruce Straley was probably keeping him in check. if you are some schmuck from twitter you would be askin if i would bring up that i liked the first one and that i am disappointed with this gmae. sorry to disappoint you cause i thought the first one was just an alright 7.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ending as bad as Game of Thrones. I stayed optimistic after what happened in the beginning Ellie’s first half saved the game it made you forget what happened and made you remember what was great about the first, but why make me play with some one you absolutely hate from the beginning for almost 10hours lose any type of love you had for the game that you gained back from Ellie and then fight the main character you love. I understand they’re trying to make you see her perspective but even that wasn’t enough. It was just running around fighting with an old fling. I’m just going think this never happened maybe give my self a concussion so it’s gone from my memory and play the original. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After finishing the game, my feelings were mixed. The graphics are the best you’ll find on the PS4. This is seriously a great game to look at. The music is written by Gustavo Santaolalla who kills it once again for this game. In fact, some scenes ride purely on the graphics and music to illicit an emotional reactions and I found these scenes incredibly insulting. The gameplay is a solid B+ for me. I often would get frustrated when popping out of cover as the enemy was able to get a shot on me faster than I could Iine up an accurate shot on them. What I realized is that the game is trying to encourage frantic dashing around the map. I would be most successful when I popped off a headshot from stealth and then quickly relocated myself to avoid the onslaught of enemies moving in on my location. I think this works well enough but I wish the game had a little bit stronger aim assist by default. Now onto the story. I don’t want to go too in depth here so all I’ll say is that this game is filled with situations that feel so unbelievable and forced. The story as a whole is both unappealing and unrealistic given the context of the first game. And 10 hours are spent playing as the antagonist, trying to earn sympathy from the player for this character. This falls completely flat and what you’re left with is hours of pushing yourself through the story just to get back to the characters you actually care about. Overall I don’t think that this is the sequel that the first game deserved, and I’m looking forward to doing another play through of that first game to cleanse my palate. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I first heard people weren't going to like the game, I was nervous about how it would affect me when I experience the game for the first time. I didn't want anyone to die, but Joel did. But is it a bad game? No. Is it a masterpiece? No. This game has flaws, which made me not care about the story. The most fun I had with the game is when I had to get the boat as Abby with my "friend" strangely enough, that kid reminds me of Atreus from the god of war(btw a masterpiece), I enjoyed that mission because of the crazy **** that is happening all around the character, but that's beside the point. Graphics are always good, its naughty dog ofc. The control feels unresponsive from time to time. The combat is the strong point of the game. The way enemies react when their friends die, and they call out their names in anger and sadness, this made me wonder how they would improve from this? The gore is realistic to the point that I stop and sometimes see the enemies' heads on how it was impacted by a bullet. Also, the environment is always breathtaking; I like how detailed every house looks on how they were run down and in ruins, I thought that was cool. In the end, This with death stranding might go down as one of the polar games in recent history; I enjoyed the game just like how I do with a Mario game, don't care about the story, and focus all on gameplay. I give this game a 7/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Check this out guys, we went from a sad story that was all about finding hope and meaning in life in a post-apocalyptic world to literal MISERY p0rn where nobody can be happy, except the main antagonist. The story is a basic af 'revenge' plot, where they turn Ellie into a straight up psychopath who only feels remorse in cutscenes for some weird reason while murdering over a HUNDRED of human beings over the course of the game. And when the time for the actual revenge on the only person who ACTUALLY WRONGED YOU and was not somewhat innocent, Abby, they DONT LET YOU KILL HER. They take away the control from the player and don't let you get the satisfaction of murdering the SheHulk. Wow.
    Somewhere on the way there, you witness your father figure be brutally murdered. Later into the game, you are forced to beat the s--- out of Ellie because they force you to control the SheHulk monster called Abby. You have to press buttons and have to win the hand-to-hand combat duel with Ellie. This game breaks my heart. F--- you, Neil who directed this garbage and f--- you, Naughty Dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In Defense of The Last of Us Part II: The original Last of Us is arguably the best game of 2013 when it was released for PS3, and irrefutably in many Top 10 game lists of the past decade. The story of Joel and Ellie bonding through mutual trauma showed us how humans heal, bond, and persevere through horrible experiences. While we all remember The Last of Us fondly we are quick to forget that it was a truly depressing game. Joel and Ellie experience a grueling journey filled with deception, pain, and death all veiled in a dim glimmer of hope that the player helps Joel in extinguishing during the climax of the game. The player is forced to take a backseat as they instruct Joel in his systematic rampage of dismantling the last hope for humanity. Joel chooses the life of his surrogate daughter over anyone else. While many of us forgive Joel now 7 years after the fact it is important to remember that this was a divisive ending for many. Not all of us wanted to save Ellie. We all knew Ellie was willing to die to save humanity and many of us hated Joel for robbing us of our agency in choosing the ending we thought the game deserved. Still after taking time to process this pain we could see more clearly that we would have done the same. That was the true message of the Last of Us. We are all monsters with the best intentions.
    The Last of Us Part II picks up where Joel and Ellie left off living out their days in a growing settlement clearly doing their best to move on from their traumatic past. The game is a visual masterpiece from the start appearing almost photorealistic on PS4 Pro. The dialogue, acting, music, and visuals all create an engrossing experience and define the Last of Us Part II as a technically flawless experience. The game could get top marks on these facts alone so what is there to hate. The only thing up for debate is the story. The story is purposefully problematic and many negative reviews reflect that. This review is in defense of The Last of Us Part II shaped by my personal experience. The Last of Us Part II is a bad experience and in saying that I don’t mean it is a bad game. As stated above the game is technically a masterpiece but the story is challenging to say the least. This game purposefully makes you feel like a bad person for playing it. The game forcibly traumatizes you repeatedly through the death and maiming of characters, forcing you to commit acts of dehumanization, and ultimately making you empathize with an antagonist turned protagonist who we would like nothing better than to torture and kill with a blunt object like she did to Joel an hour into the game. The game does not pull a single punch and each one of them lands forcibly due to amazing acting and a beautiful sound track that carry this story to an entertainment level that has left me at a loss for words at times. This game is not the game we wanted and it certainly does not have the ending we wanted but through deeper reflection it’s easy to see that both of those details just further enrich the experience. The Last of Us Part II is a better game and a more profound piece of art because it is so painful. This may be one of the best and worst pieces of art to come at a time like this. A time where we are actively experiencing a global pandemic, unprecedented institutionalized brutality, and losing loved ones close to us isn’t the best time for a game mirroring this reality to be released. The Last of Us Part II is a game about trauma, and how improperly processing trauma will only lead to more pain. The lessons it teaches could be critical for many in processing our collective societal trauma we all are currently experiencing. The game teaches us the importance of empathizing with our enemies and how trauma cannot be healed through violence. While this lesson is simple and may seem obvious to most of us the truth is that it isn’t. Some people still think that violence can solve problems and it’s not right to dismiss this important lesson just because it has been seen in other media. The lesson of revenge is painted realistically across the game and shows the player the consequences of their actions only after it’s too late to dismantle them. This is just one of many lessons from queer/trans rights to the dangers of herd mentality that The Last of Us Part II isn’t afraid to address. This game has an agenda of inclusivity and acceptance that many games still fail to strive for and rarely achieve. It’s message never feels forced and instead occurs organically as the story progresses. The climax rings hollow as a reflection of the mistakes we’ve made to lead us there and we as the player are left thinking what could we have done differently if anything. Only complaints I have, no multiplayer, I want co op. 9/10. The Last of Us Part II is a bad experience resulting in a beautiful piece of art. These are just my thoughts. Play it and form your own opinion, it’s well worth the journey.

There are plenty of popular games that make me want to just rush trough the game without thoroughly exploring it, but not this one. It made me want to explore every corner of it and I still missed so much. The game does a very good job of making you feel like you truly are in a post-apocalyptic world with its destroyed environment literally collapsing under your feet, ghost towns, constant fear of getting jumped at, nature taking back what humans took from it and the limited resources that force you to make your every shot count. The reason this is not 10/10 Is because the story left me with a big question mark after finishing it. It started tragically, ended unexplained and not satisfyingly enough. It just felt like all the bonds I had with the first game were spat at and left dead on the ground (you know the reference). Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel like this game betrays the essence of the first last of us game wherein it was all about Joel and Ellie and how they would be able to survive the "apocalypse". This game completely screws over that narrative and turns it into a revenge plot that doesn't make sense. If we were to look back on the first 7 minutes of the original game, we can get a gist of what Joel's character is like when he left a family walking on the street in order to put his family first and the rest of the game was basically that Joel fighting to put his new family first. With this in mind, the scene leading up to Joel's death is disappointing to say the least. As it completely betrays Joel in the first game. Joel being the skeptic he was. Aside from the huge plot holes this game leaves. The game is also dull considering that this game was supposed to be about a zombie apocalypse and not a soap opera. To put it simply the game should be central to the apocalypse and not the revenge plot. If they wanted to put a revenge plot then it would be better if they had put it as a secondary plot point rather than the primary one. Because again this is a zombie apocalypse game.
    The ending was also atrocious. This game is like kill bill if Beatrix Kiddo didn't kill bill. The ending would have been better if Abby was killed off in the end considering that Ellie already killed lots of people to get to her. I mean you have a lot of classic revenge movies and they always kill off the antagonist so then what reason do you not kill off Abby here. It's not as if they were like best friends once or some other dumb reason. Abby was by all means a character that everyone already hates considering that she killed and tortured Joel. Even when naughty dog where to make the player play as Abby to make them sympathize with her, the hatred is still there considering the player played the first game and spent most of their time playing as Joel and thinking like Joel and at the same time sympathizing with his decisions.
    In any case this doesn't feel like a survival game anymore but just another zombie series that gets too political once they can't think of any another direction to take the series. Visuals are great gameplay wise it's good but a bit clunky sometimes and story is just the worse so that pretty much sums up the score and for the critics saying that is a masterpiece then I can honestly say they are right it's a masterpiece of every **** idea that came into a video game. The essence of video games is the fun that comes into it you basically take the fun out and it's not a video game anymore. This game is basically a boring movie that is at least 25 hours long.

Sadness of listening to Gustavo Santaolalla’s soundtrack and being frustrated with myself for not being able to feel the emotions that he would have wanted me to experience during a specific sequence or for a specific character (with just one notable exception). And it is really sad, because we can all image the hundreds and thousands of hours of effort that people at Naughty Dog put into this game. It is just inconceivable to me how they could forget what made the first game so special. And I really don’t want to judge them for the decisions they made when creating this story. I really don’t. But it just feel to me that, at that first meeting, in that first brainstorming session, someone raised their hand and said “in the end, it’s just a game, right? It’s not that people are here for the story anyways”.

    TLOU2 is a pathetic attempt to add shock value to a game but it fails miserably by butchering the narrative. Graphics and music don't mean anything if the narrative feels pointless.

Story is awful, the whole game is based around Ellie getting revenge for Joel's death and after killing a ton of survivors and then decides to let the villain go after they killed Joel, killed her girlfriend and cut her fingers off. The message behind the story is that you can get away with whatever you want as long as you're trans. Not to mention most of the game you play as the villain instead of the main character. Expand

    It's too long, it's outdated, it's uninteresting, it's l'art pour l'art depressing, it's preachy, has mainly unlikeable characters and it forces you to play a character you want to kill for 10 hours. And the ending is bs.
    Go back and play Uncharted 2. That didn't have an idiot for a writer/director.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked it. The story is dark and twisted. If I wanted to relive what was in the first one, I would go and play TLOU.
    I loved the gameplay. Sneaking around, better combat, more swimming, more hiding. Really great.
    I liked two sides of story. I dont think you were suppose to like Abby cause you have to play as her. Its your choice if you gonna like her, or not. No one elses.
    Yes, it was cruel what happened to Joel. But what he did while saving Ellie - we all knew its BAD. its to choose one person over all others. Joel and Tommy did some stuff before the game and we all know it too. They were no saints.
    So, didnt you think someone would take revenge? Someone from family gonna just pass on that? Eye for an eye. Thats the whole story. Revenge. On both sides.

    And for god's sake, if you complain about s*x scene with Abby, and her body type - I really suggest looking around that women come in ALL shapes. As a woman myself, I was pleased to see someone who is not the sexy body type, or skinny, but a woman, who works out and have muscles. ( If you think Im the same, no. I'm absolute opposite. )

    Play the game. You don't like it? Fine.
    I loved it.
    A little minus for some repetitive parts of games. Other than that, I really enjoyed it.
    Ive read some people who wrote they own plot of the game...There is forum for that. Just cause you don't like that it's not happy ending story, does not mean game is bad.
    And thank you Naught Dog, for including LGBTQ+ in the game.

    Cada mecánica y momentos narran una historia realista con ese toque tan excelente cinematográfico, usaron el mundo de the last of us para mejorar cada y una parte de él técnica y gráficamente, y la historia no se queda nada atrás en ningún momento. Para mi, si bien el primer juego lo sigue superando, es por muy poco.

    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]
