    Ruins the whole plot of the first game and tries to force you to love new characters that are written horribly.

    It just gave me a bad experience of playing in some situations that would ruin some of good parts. Just uncomfortable experiences throughout the whole game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Players control Joel, a smuggler tasked with escorting a teenage girl, Ellie, across a post-apocalyptic United States. The Last of Us is played from a third-person perspective. Players use firearms and improvised weapons, and can use stealth to defend against hostile humans and cannibalistic creatures infected by a mutated strain of the Cordyceps fungus. In the online multiplayer mode, up to eight players engage in cooperative and competitive gameplay.

    The gameplay didn't change much from the first game; it's still fun and dynamic, the visuals are beautiful, but the story, the most important part of the game, is just terrible. With many plot holes, out of character situations and an anticlimatic ending, the game suffers a lot story-wise.

I could see this working with different characters in the same universe as the character arc's just feel a bit aggressive. Mechanics didn't make sense as in world reason from previous game was retcon/detracted. They tried to expand, but it didn't work as well as intended. Not to mention logic issues where enemies would be hidden out of sight, but when looking at the area they must have been at shows no foot prints or other details the previous game was pain staking with. I feel like many people are being harder on this series than normal due to the fact it is a follow up to one of the best games of all time.… Expand

    Will rate it 3/10. (Spoiler-free) Graphics and sound and level design are pretty nice, will agree on that. BUT, its mostly just walking simulator with fast getting repetitively boring combat. The story is meh and the game is just a movie with some walking/combat moments. Don't think that you need to buy it. You can get the same experience just by watching a walkthrough without commentary.

    I don’t like seeing all this hate getting thrown at creatives. I don’t believe the writers are evil and trying to force their worldview on you. Clearly though, a theme and message got in the way of a good and believable narrative.

That being said I think this is the most I’ve ever been let down by something I love, that being The Last of Us and Naughty Dog. It’s one of those things, I wish fan petitions could get a rewrite but that would not be fair to everyone at naughty dog. I’ll be pretending this game never came out, which is tremendously upsetting. As a gamer I’d recommend this game on visuals and gameplay alone. If someone who were a fan of the last of us didn’t know this came out I would NEVER recommend this game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 was one of my most anticipated games over the past 7 years. I fell in love with the original on PS3, and later the remaster on PS4. Despite having some of the game’s story spoiled via leaks, I kept an open mind and waited to judge the game until it came out.

    It turned out to be one of the worst gaming experiences in my life. The story in this game is so poorly written that it lets down the whole product. Naughty Dog changed scenes shown in the trailers post leak, to show an older Joel and make people believe that he was present during much of the game’s story, when in actuality these are merely flashbacks sprinkled throughout the game.

    Joel dies very early in this game. Roughly 2 hours in. He is killed by a newly introduced character, Abby, when she tortures and murders him with a golf club.

    This kicks off a revenge plot that meanders here and there, but doesn’t lead anywhere satisfying. We’re constantly told that “killing is bad” but the game’s themes are at war with it’s brutal gameplay, which consists of Ellie killing legions of enemies with their own names, and some dogs too.

    About halfway through the game, the player switches to controlling Abby. They then have to play 10 hours of her backstory, where she plays fetch with her dog (that Ellie just murdered earlier) and saves a zebra with her dad. All this is designed to emotionally manipulate the player into sympathising with this woman, Joel’s murderer.

    Abby’s section culminates in a boss fight against Ellie, where the player MUST control Abby as they hunt her down. Why Naughty Dog thought this was a good idea is beyond me. Eventually Abby wins and spare’s Ellie and her pregnant girlfriend’s life because her new friend disapproves of pregnant woman murder.

    A bunch of other pointless things happen. The last act is a mess of time jumping and everyone acts incredibly out-of-character. Eventually Ellie decides to go finish Abby. She leaves her GF and baby and travels to Santa Barbara, where she finds Abby tied to a cross.

    She lets Abby down, they head to the shore where some boats are and Ellie decides she “can’t let [Abby] leave.” So they have a fight to the death. Well not exactly.

    Abby bites off Ellie’s fingers and Ellie begins to drown her underwater. She then has a flashback of Joel playing guitar, and it somehow causes her to spare this woman. She lets her leave and cradles her stumpy hand.

    The ending has Ellie return to her home, where her family has left her. She tries to play guitar but it’s impossible without her fingers. (No idea why she didn’t just play lefty lmao)

    Ellie has lost Joel, her GF, her baby, her friends, everyone she cared about and now her last connection to Joel, her guitar. She leaves alone. The End.


    So this game is such a mess of “themes” and “messages” that it’s hard to really unpack exactly what ND is trying to achieve here. There’s something about “the cycle of revenge” or something but it’s lost in the ridiculousness of the plot. Any messages the game thinks it’s conveying end up coming across as incredibly condescending and shallow, instead of deep and profound.


    This game basically spits on the relationship of Joel and Ellie, and I strongly caution anyone who has ANY love in their heart for the original game and it’s characters, to stay far away from this. The level design and animations are very impressive, as is the mood and atmosphere. The gameplay is fairly solid and practically identical to the original.

    All in all, TLOU2 is a disappointment when it should have been a gen defining game. A pass when it should have been GOTY. All I can say is I truly hope they never make a TLOU3. Before this game came out, I wondered if we even needed to get a sequel, now I wish we didn’t.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First every review because wow!

    So I had hopes the narrative wasn’t that bad after hearing everything, I did stay as spoiler free as I could until I finished the game, but wtf naught dog. Killing the main character from the previous game to make a revenge story was a good idea, however the execution was hot garbage. We go through all the work to take revenge as Ellie to then play as Abby the villain to make us see her side and, I’m assuming, make us feel for her. Which in someways it did for me, but then you make us continue to play as Abby when we confront Ellie forcing us to beat a beloved character which was a BOLD decision that backfired immensely with everyone’s feedback being the clear example that it was a garbage decision. Everything up to that point was, in my opinion, still leading up to be a fantastic game. But the decision, again, to make us fight Ellie and win, is when you lost me. Have you had a switch back to playing Aly when we got to that confrontation making us beat Abby, I would’ve been fine with rest Love it. If you want to still kill Jesse do it, mortality wound Tommy or kill him I wouldn’t of cared as long as we got to kill Abby. Heck you could’ve even killed off Lev as they were leaving the island so you wouldn’t of had to involve him at that point. But it felt like you wanted to drag on the story from that confrontation which is a load of BS in my opinion. You should’ve ended it at that final confrontation and ended peacefully with Ellie and Dina at the farm raising JJ. That could have been at the perfect finish for this game but you squandered it. Do you let Abby win by making us beat Ellie. You then make us play as Ellie again to go and kill Abby which when we get that chance we let her go, then for more insult to injury when we get back to the farm Dina is gone and we don’t even know if Ellie finds Fina and they potentially get back together raising JJ, you just end it there. Honestly, I think if you chose to ha e had Lev died while being strung up on the beach with Abby thus giving Ellie essentially a mercy killing but still a revenge killing would have been better then what you decided. But instead you choose to make us go through all that to forgive Abby through PTSD on Ellies side and when we get back to the farm we find out Ellie has basically lost she loved even her ability to play the guitar correctly which is minor I know but still. I don’t even wanna play new game+ because there’s no satisfaction at the end. It just sucks because it feels like you had a very great story building up to the moment the Ellie and Abby confrontation happens, but when it does it seems you just took a dump on the story. The game itself is beautiful I appreciate the gameplay and how it is a even though it’s very repetitive, it just sucks that when you get that climax it feels like you’re falling down Mount Everest with no chance of stopping until you hit the bottom. I doubt it will even happen but I feel like you need to pull a BioWare and fix the ending like they did for Mass Effect 3 even if it’s just an alternate ending like choosing to play as either Abby or Ellie at the climax. Or just don’t make us play as Abby, the villain, and let us play as Ellie and beat Abby.    … Expand

I was really excited to play this game, I’ve been waiting for it for the longest and it just didn’t live up to the hype. The LOU1 should’ve been left alone. Really didn’t like playing have the game as Abby after what she did. That was really disappointing. Also I understand the explanation of the Ending but it’s just frustrating. Idk why the game creators didn’t after more input from the diehard fans. I’m just so disappointed overall. Besides that the game play is really good and the graphics are great. I enjoyed the fighting scenes. For that I give it a 5 out of 10. I wish I knew how it would play out before hand so I wouldn’t have spend the money to get it.

    The game graphic is great but the story itself is very disappointing.
    To be fair, if killing is bad, then their should be an option to choose kill or not to kill.
    The game message is not clear and it gets me a mental disease.
    It's like a person killed my family and the court order to the murderer to be part of my family member and force me to understand why did he/her did it.

    Será Amada u Odiada

    Ufff... The last of us part 2 si que fue polémico y solo por no ser muy complaciente con el fans, es una joya como videojuego y les explico el porque, es por lo técnico que se destaca Nauthy Dog y en eso implica ésto: En gameplay, escenarios, sonido, el cuidado al detalle y el de los combates, la brutalidad en modo de batalla, en explotar al máximo que puede tener una consola como la PS4 (Aunque le falta cosas por pulir tuve algunos Bugs y bajadas de Frames, pero seguramente fue por explotar al máximo al PS4) en cuestión de cosas técnicas es una jodida joya. El problema real recae en la historia, cuando Naughty Dog hace un Uncharted 4 dónde si disonancia Ludonarrativa es bastante evidente (la incoherencia de como actúa y lo que hace para no sonar mamador xd) una historia como The last of us te sabe hasta saber mal a la mente, el mayor problema que veo es que no es complaciente para sus fans, no es uncharted 4 dónde te deja un final complaciente y todo perfecto, este tipo de historia desafía al ti mismo y a tu persona si es que no estás acostumbrado a este tipo de historias dónde hablan del conjunto y no solamente del personaje sino lo que construye el por ello de todo lo que fue y existe dentro del universo del juego, y haber una disonancia con el público del juego pasado y sobre las personas que proyectan de lo era realmenteel mundo de The last of us y lo que realmente quiso explicar y contar Neil Druckman. Ellos siempre trataron de mostrar el reflejo humano con las consecuencias midiante las circunstancias bastante extremas de un mundo casi acabado, lo salvaje que seríamos por sobrevivir y que no importe que lado estés, no existe un lugar correcto ni persona buena o mala del todo, solamente las circunstancias y sobrevivir es lo que nos hace las personas que somos.

    Game sucks. Totally disrespectful to the legacy of the Ellie/Joel dynamic, and the developers made them way out of character. Graphics look good, but it takes more than good graphics to make a good game. All in all, a very unsatisfying, disappointing, and upsetting sequel to one of the best and most loved games on the ps4. Reminds me of the disappointment and frustration of Mass effect 3.

The visual presentation is stunning. So much attention to detail has gone into every room someone has lived and died in, or how leaks and flooding have transformed the world. The gameplay, while similar to the original, has been giving remarkable improvements, especially in the AI, that make it much more engaging to play. Enemies will scream out the names of their fallen friends, call out where they last saw you, and search dynamically around you. The story of revenge couples with the increased gore to provide a very visceral and unnerving gameplay experience. Getting to the story, the actors completely sell it. Every performance is filled with a nuance that you'd expect from film, which were able to come through with the amazing animations that accentuate the emotions in the voices.

    Now to the plot that is so controversial. It's dark, depressing, and sometimes very unsatisfying. There were times I actively did not want to participate in what Naughty Dog were forcing me to do, but because of that it was intensely powerful. The narrative is extremely different from the first, and while some may say it is disrespectful, it feels like a natural resolution of the first, instead of just a retread. While at first rolling the credits I felt a deep hollowness which was not how I finished the first, upon reflecting I realized that the game had taken its time and resolved what happened at the end of the first. Overall, this game is one of the most powerful experiences I've ever had in a video game, which is also how the original made me feel. Even though it was in a much darker way, this game was a tremendous success at showing the potential of the medium.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is visually interesting at is says. The game play mechanic is superb compared to the previous chapter, it has definitely evolved. However, the story is pure SJW propaganda and I don't understand why they have to implement this belief into an apocalyptic theme. I paid 90 AUD just to witness a man I adored since the previous game, die in an unnecessary death caused by an unknown stranger. The Last of Us franchise is a story about the progression between Ellie and Joel, and that was the reason why I was a die-hard for the Last of Us series. The flashbacks were the only good scene where I wholeheartedly enjoyed. Regarding back to the spoilers, I never saw the leaks nor I heard about it. I blindly played through the first 2 hours and see that one of my beloved character has died. That made me become frustrated for the entire sequence. If we paid attention to the details, Joel would never ever show his real name to anyone. He lived throughout his life for 20 years not trusting anyone before he could meet Ellie. The story about Abby felt forced, killing Joel so early in the game was extremely lazy directing. It would make no difference as during the last chapter of the first game, Fireflies has announced that there are several immune people and none of them were been able to create a cure. Killing Ellie might not able to find a cure, and Joel literally has one thing to live for, the existence of Ellie after losing Sarah in the first game. The world took everything from Joel, so he took everything from the world. One of the key things of paying so much attention in the previous game is that, you will notice so many major flaws that the director just ignored. It is like, after 7 years of waiting, they have entirely forgotten about the entire story of the first game. I finished playing the Last of Us 2 and I have to say, Neil Duckman literally just massacred the franchise.

    The reason why this rating is 10/10 is because I would like to send a message for the people who blindly rated Tlou2 as a good review. After reading numerous reviews regarding about the game-plays, not one has spoken about how the story was written. It makes me believe that they haven't even played the first game yet, and none of them has recognize the father and daughter relationship that made the game a masterpiece in the first place. If only Joel died protecting his only child in the end, then again I might like this game. But no, they went the opposite way. As a supporter of the LGBT community, how the story was written out is unnecessary, and in fact. I would rate this game 3/10 for stunning visual appearance.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part 2 is the most disappointing game I have ever played. Now I’m not calling this a garbage game in total. This game just has some of the WORST story decisions I have ever seen. Now I know I’m missing a lot of key characters and moments but I’m covering the standout moments. Let’s start from the beginning. The whole game is fine up until you start playing as Abby, a brand new character we have never seen before. It’s only for about 40 mins in the first 3 hours of the game but still. Then around that 2-3 mark you see that Abby and her crew kill Joel. This is the worst part of the entire game. To kill off a character in that type of way with that lazy of writing is pathetic. After Ellie witnesses this, she goes of to Seattle. For the next 10 hours you go on a journey to hunt down each person that was involved in the murder of Joel. I really enjoyed this part of the game, and it is by far my favorite part of the entire game. Once Ellie kills two of the remaining people that were involved with Joel, she heads back to the theater which she is staying. When she gets there with Tommy, Dina and Jesse are waiting there. Jesse and Ellie talk and then Abby enters the building and kills Jessie and badly hurts Tommy. This is another stupid part of this game. Ellie could have killed Abby right then and there but no, the story has to go on, that’s something that doesn’t stop in this game. So then we play as Abby for next 10 hours of the game and witness her side and why she wanted to kill Joel. I’m not even going to talk about this part. This was not the Last of us. It was like a DLC. After we play as Abby we beat the **** out of Ellie for no reason and just leave. Months have passed and Ellie has a family with Dina. Tommy shows up and tells Ellie where Abby is. She goes after her only to not ****ing kill her. Ellie spends this ENTIRE GAME killing ****ing everything just to not kill Abby???? Like why? Basically the ending is that Ellie returns home and Dinas gone. She lost two fingers in the fight with Abby and now can’t play the guitar, the only thing left that Joel could pass on. That’s it. The end. So Abby wins and Ellie lost. Now the flashbacks were ****ing amazing. Loved each one. The gameplay and the visuals were truly amazing. To sum it up, gameplay 10/10. Visuals 10/10. Story 3/10. It’s not as bad as people say it but the story really drags it down like A LOT. Finial rating for The Last of Us Part II is a 5/10.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is absolutely the best video game I have ever played in my entire life. There is not even a close second. The only other game to be like it is the first. I judge this game as more than a simple video game, as I did the first one. I judge this overall as an engine for telling a fictional tale. They say you cannot judge a person until you walk in their shoes, and this game makes you walk, even in shoes you may not have wanted to. But even the original game did something to me that no other fictional outlet has ever done, it made me care about a fictional character more than I ever had in my entire life. Part of of that was the amazing story, the voice acting, graphics...the entire package was so realistic coupled again with the fact that it is a video game. You play as the characters you walk in their shoes.

    Now on to the bad reviews. I spent some time reading through them, and it seems to me that so, SO many of them are written by people who did not play the game. I read specific gripes about story line or character flaws etc. They said oh the game did not do this or did not do that. I ask...did you play the game...because so many of the complaints I saw, the game absolutely went into. I heard so many people specifically bash the story...it was a masterpiece...

    Spoilers: I understand why the first portion of the game made people mad. I understand that Joel's death was a very hard thing to experience. I myself had serious cognitive dissonance...he can't be dead. A big part of this was the previews that clearly lied. But that just added to my shock, and made it so much more powerful. Without going into every small detail of the story, even though I could, because every piece was amazing, but I will focus on the flashbacks with her and Joel. These flashbacks were masterful and changed the scale of the story each time they revealed one.

    First they show Ellie and Joel as we knew them. That birthday scene definitely got to me after Joel was already dead. Then we see them out on patrol in another. People had asked did Ellie believe Joel at the end of the first game? Did she just pretend? I think this shows both. She loved Joel and wanted to trust him, but we see the weight of it on her. Then moving forward she goes and discovers the truth. This changes the story because now we see maybe there is regret on Ellie's part or guilt because she breaks from Joel. We see later this is even further when Joel stands up to the bigot. Ellie tells hi to piss off essentially. This is such an important scene. Ellie's motivations to the audience changes with each flashback. First their original relationship, we can see why Ellie wants revenge. But now their relationship is strained. The last night before Joel dies we see the pain on his face when Ellie tells him to go away. We see her face, she fell something to. She sees how much she just hurt Joel and we see her face show some hurt as a result. For the audience this changes her motivations completely....her carrying around this guilt that the last conversation she had with Joel was telling him to piss off. This changes her motivation, it is subtle but key. I will save the last flashback for the end.

    First I have to jump into Abby. I understand some hate for her, I get it. I loved Joel too, she killed him very violently. But going through her story...as much as I hate to say it, I started to like her. People saying in complaints they could not relate to her or hated her, or that she was a sociopath? I just don't get it. We all agree that one of the things that made the original game so good was the ending. There was clear ambiguity there. Everyone agrees that what Joel did might not be right...but we see the one person, personally affected by it the most and people do not get her side? We follow Ellie's journey of revenge, but Abby has been festering those same emotions much longer than Ellie. There are many more details I can go into about Abby. I saw a full article defending her I agree with, but I will just skip to the end. of the game. The bottom line though, she really is not that bad of a person, she saved Ellie twice, even after Ellie killed all of her friends.

    I saw so many people mad that Ellie did not kill Abby. As she id drowning Abby we see a flash of Joel playing a guitar. This does not make sense at first. Why would Ellie let her go. Then AFTER this we see the full context of the scene, which again changes everything in a subtle but very important way for Ellie. This scene is the keystone for the entire story in my opinion. We see that the very last conversation she had with Joel was about forgiveness. She tells Joel she does not know if she can forgive him but she wants to try. THAT is the exact memory she had when she decided to spare Abby. This is why this scene does make so much sense and why it was masterful writing.

    Overall just an amazing game that grabs you emotionally and never lets go!    … Expand

    I have never written reviews before. But it’s just not fair. The plot is top notch. But there is one problem. What's happened to music? Where did that splendor of the first part go? Don't say this **** up because of the main theme of the game - anger. Bam. bam. bam. - this is not anger, this is idiocy. Sorry.

    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]
