    This game is a mess, it wants to be unpredictable at the cost of stupid acts. The gameplay and graphics are decent, but the narrative is what totally destroys the experience, from the prologue you can see how they dispose of one of the important characters from the first game in such a horrendous way and the supposed lesson Ellie learns in the ending doesn't make any sense.

The plot is 5/10, it has twists and turns, but we all know how idiotic ending this game has and the developers have not changed it, according to critics who were not afraid to rate this game lower (7.0 / 10) said that many threads are forced to just evoke feelings on the player (threads about LGBT and love that forgives everything, even killing someone close yhh, fellings, more fellings, more more fellings....in a zombie survival...). Another strange thing is that the creators decided to significantly limit the number of black opponents, rly? the creators assumed that during such an apocalypse there are definitely more white people than black people?! pathological... and this is exactly political correctness....When it comes to the AI ​​(people) often is wrong/bugs, when it comes to zombies it is just like in the first part, nothing new, only a new interface, if the opponent notices us constantly we receive notifications that we have been detected and we are threatened, it is really annoying and you can't turn it off.

    Just no, Naughty Dog has destroyed their most polished franchise. I commend the graphics, animations and mechanics team. You guys did an amazing job, however, what the **** Neil Druckman and Halley Gross. You bloody bastards killed this franchise and dig up your own graves. CD PROJEKT RED will win the best devs and best game (Cyberpunk 2077) this year, no question.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worst game EVER! The first game was about the relationship between two characters: Joel and Ellie. This part introduced way too many unnecessary new characters that only complicated the story and deviated from the evolution of Joel and Ellie. The whole game was about the cycle of revenge. Abby kills Joel, and Ellie set on a journey to kill Abby. While she kills hundreds of people just to get to Abby, she gets the epiphany that killing won't change anything. Excuse me? What about the hundreds that Ellie Killed just to get to Abby? They're just unimportant I guess. I just don't understand what is the point of the second part. The first game ended and let the players decide for themselves whether Joel did the right thing or not. However, the second part assumes that Joel's decision is wrong, and it's just a big f*ck you to all the people who thought Joel did right by Ellie. And who's Abby again, the unrealistically muscular daughter of a worthless NPC from the first part. Everything felt forced in this part just to demonize some characters and try to push Druckmann's ideas of what is right and wrong. As a true lover of the first part, The Last of Us had ended at the point where Ellie said "okay." This part is just a spin-off and is not even close to the first part story-wise. The game is fantastic on level design, sound, and graphical fidelity, which is something I expected from ND developers. But Druckmann needs to leave ND if Sony wants this studio to continue. Otherwise, Druckmann will bring ND demise!… Expand

    No se que paso con este juego que lo siento tan diferente al original, la historia parece una satira de mal gusto, con uno de los finales mas absurdos y sin sentido que he visto, literalmente todo el juego fue sin proposito, lo peor es que al saber que Ellie no mataba a Abby al final del juego, sentí que no tenía ningún proposito nada de lo que jugaba, y cuando finalmente llegue al final del juego, tuve de las peores decepciones de un juego, no solo la soltaste cuando estaba colgada lista para morir, si no que ademas cuando ella se estaba yendo, Ellie decide pelear con ella cuando ya esta libre, y con eso en un segundo a otro Abby le quita 2 dedos a Ellie con la boca como si nada, y otra vez uno pensando, "ya no la dejare escapar de nuevo, ahora aparte de asesinar a Joel y mis seres queridos, me quito 2 dedos por este enfrentamiento", pero no Ellie la vence y antes de hacerle justicia a la "venganza" decide dejarla ir, osea que paso de pasar todo el juego por nada, a quedar con 3 dedos en una mano, y ni hablar de la estupidez e inquietud que da el final del juego tratando de tocar guitarra con 3 dedos, es de las cosas mas grandes, bizarras, y morbosas que he visto en un juego y lo peor de todo que cada vez se siente que el juego es solo una tortura a los personajes que cada vez son mas idiotas tomando decisiones mas tontas. realmente no me metere con que no hay multijugador porque solo venía buscando una gran historia, pero termine encontrando la peor secuela de todos los tiempos de algún videojuego, Uncharted 2 se retuerce en su tumba, y hubiera preferido que The last of us 2 hubiera sido el Half Life 3 de PlayStation y que nunca hubiera dado a luz de ser tan malo como lo fue ahora. Si tienen la oportunidad de jugarlo les recomiendo sinceramente no hacerlo si ya jugaron el 1, porque la verdad se siente como si fuera un juego totalmente desligado a lo era The last of us 1    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So let's get this out of the way, the game from a technical and cinematography perspective is just absolutely wonderful. Landscapes are amazing, gameplay is fluid, and sound design is excellent. Am I over reducing major encounters into QTEs? Yes, been over it for a long time. So with all of that, the game is far above a 1 or a 0 simply on the back of its technical brilliance. The rest of the game does its damnedest to try to drag the whole thing to hell though.

    Where the game truly fails is on 1 simple failure of storytelling: you cannot backfill sympathy. The moment that Abby shotguns Joel's leg after he saves her without a second though, my opinion of her crystallizes; especially in a story about revenge. You cannot spend half the game trying to make me care about her and understand her plights and her why after she has already committed the act. Storytelling just doesn't work that way. Maybe my opinion of her shifts if you help me understand her and develop her character BEFORE she kills Joel, but after? No, never going to happen. Same goes with Abby's friends. Most of them, we know that Ellie kills before we get their story, and all of them participated in killing Joel; so how the hell am I supposed to be brought to care about characters who both did the bad thing and I know are about to die? I can't, because the story won't let me even if I wanted to. And I get it, the game is trying to show you how similar Abby and Ellie are and how hatred and revenge is an all consuming flame that begets a cycle of hatred and revenge. I get it, I see what you are attempting to do over there....you just did it extremely poorly.

    Beyond that characters are wildly flat in this game. Ellie is considerably less interesting, Joel...well to be honest basically every second Joel is on the screen are the best character moments of the game which amounts to an hour, Tommy doesn't feel like Tommy and is basically regarded as an off-screen psycho-killer the whole game, Jesse is flat, for the life of me I can't see what Ellie sees in Dina or why Ellie spontaneously falls in love with her, and Abby is hard to judge because I am conditioned to hate her from the moment I meet her and nothing that happens over the course of the game overcomes that initial impression. Abbys friends are all over the map, some more interesting than others, but usually by the time we get to learn who they are on Abby's side we already know they are dead on Ellie's side so what is the point of getting invested?

    It's a story and character driven game and that is where it is a giant letdown. Maybe the score is higher if the first game wasn't so brilliant. It tries to do a similar thing to the first game: take a simple story concept: "dad does anything to protect daughter" for the first and "revenge for killing my dad" in this one, but spin it in a new and interesting way. It fails this time around unfortunately. It really sucks that Joel and Ellie's relationship which was full of complexity and beauty and realism will never touch our screen again. It really does make me sad.    … Expand

Viszont így spoiler mentesen szeretném leírni a véleményemet a témával kapcsolatban, hiszen én sajnos megnéztem, hogy mi lesz a vége illetve a story-ja a játéknak. És persze végig is játszottam a napokban. Nem akarom részletezni érthető okokból, ezen felül rengeteg cikket és hírt olvastam arról, hogy mi folyik pontosan a kiadónál (Naughty Dog). A kiadót a Sony pénzeli annak érdekében, hogy a játékaikra legyen kellő idő és pénz ezzel semmi baj nincsen csak mivel a Naughty Dog-nál a menedzsment elég érdekesen van megoldva (ez alatt azt az osztályt értem egy kiadónál akik a pénzel és az időbeosztással foglalkoznak), konkrétan nincs ilyen náluk, mivel náluk úgy gondolják az gátat szabna a kreativitásban. Több ott dolgozó is mondta, hogy a játék már 1,5 éve kész lenne ha normálisan lenne menedzsmentelve a fejlesztés és nem dobnák ki a fejlesztők több havi munkáját azért mert éppen újra gondolnak valamit. A másik nagy probléma ami viszont sokkal jobban meg tudja határozni a játékot az az, hogy pár éve a cégtől elküldték Amy Hennig-et aki felelt az első 3 Uncharted és a Last of Us történetéért és a helyére Neil Druckmann került aki viszont nem egy rossz író de azért mégsem olyan jó mint Amy Hennig. A nagyobb probléma viszont Druckmann-nel ,hogy rettenetesen pc és nagy csodálója Anita Sarkeesian-nek aki egy kifejezetten más szóval nem tudom kifejezni de egy borzalmasan rosszindulatú femináci nő. Ha utánnanéztek az ő "munkáságának" rájöttök, hogy mostanában eléggé nagy szerepe volt a játékiparban és minen kiadóra akire csak tudott nyomás gyakorólt (és álltalánan nem is volt jó vége). Hiszen azokank az LGBTQ community tagoknak akik nagyon elfogultak azoknak nem lehet olyan változást hozni, amit képesek elfogadni. A Naughty Dog-nál jelenpillanatban is egy iylen változás próbál végbemenni, hogy mindenkit akit nem teljesemértékben LGBTQ community-t támogatják azt vagy kirugják vagy zsarolják és pont ezért is volt az, hogy rengetegen mondtak fel náluk és az egyik dühös alkalmazott csinálta a szivárogtatást is. Én nem azt mondom, hogy rossz lesz a játék csak azt hogy ajátéknak nem egy mély üzenete lett amit vártunk hanem szimlán az, hogy LGBTQ community tag vagy akkor te jobb vagy mint egy fehér férfi, ami szerintem elég szomorú, hogy ez lett egy csodálatos játékból mint a Last of Us. Ha valakit esetleg érdekel mélyebben a téma mint amit most itt leírtam szivesen küldök cikkeket amik angolul vannak és több információt és bizonyítékot tartalmaznak a témáról amit itt leírtam és remélem ezzel senkit nem sérttettem meg.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It plays well, but the selling point and high point for the first one was the story, and the story of this one is terrible.

    In film it’s ok to switch protagonists or make an antagonist the main character. The problem with gaming is no one wants to play as a character who is actively killing or maiming the characters they loved from the previous game. It just doesn’t work and it seems cruel and unusual to play as a bodybuilder who has killed one character you loved and then as that bodybuilder you violently beat up another character you loved(in a fight that seems wildly outclassed in terms of physique) and then smash in the face of that character’s pregnant girlfriend. It’s utterly tone deaf and doesn’t work in any sense. The main takeaway and theme of the game is “murder is bad” yeah, we knew. You can’t take characters that were established and loved and mold them in to fit a theme and totally disregard them.

    Don’t play this game. Don’t support this game. It is character assassination all for the sake of subversion.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In this review I will be as honest as possible. Many people are angry at the game and are giving scores of 1 or 0. Does this game deserve them? Absolutely not. Does this game deserve the snobby false 'woke' reviews from the critics? Absolutely not. This game in my eyes is a classic example, much like Wolfenstein young blood and battle field V of a game which tries to force modern day issues and characters into their games to portray the characters in a positive light. Although nothing wrong with that in the slightest, poor execution of such a forced concept can inherently come back to bite you, this game is exactly that. It spends so long trying to force an emotional connection to the new characters but fails to realise that the characters themselves are not only boring and have a disingenuous back story, they also do not even have a fraction of the appeal of the old characters (Joel and Ellie) in terms of personality, likeability and emotional bond between game character and game player. I honestly felt as though the desire to care even slightly about the new characters was being rammed down my throat with mild back stories and forced interactions. What made the LOU great was arguably its characters its story, the magic of which is completely lost. They tried to take the franchise in a new direction at supersonic pace but sadly crashed face first into a wall.

    The game play element of the game is amazing though, despite the criticisms of the story, the game is visually striking. Apart from reusing a lot of generic GTA V looking NPC models which is a serious letdown based on how amazing the rest of the game looks the game itself is arguably single-handedly carried by the environment and map design and appearance. Yes there are elements of the gameplay which are boring, however it really pushes the limits of the old console systems to deliver a visually impressive game despite being run on a dated system. If this game were to have released on the new console right now the visuals may have even carried this game to a 7/10, however here we are. With a broken franchise that tried too hard to drive a story with no legitimate foundation that left me as a player completely unable to connect and justify the actions of the new characters and not at all wanting to see any more of their story.    … Expand

After watching the playthrough of this game through the platform twitch since I am so excited to see some early game playthrough due to the fact that video game stores in my country do not even have the latest copies of ff7 remake and persona 5 royale and of course this shouldnt be out in stores in my country as well. 20 min watching the gameplay they **** did what is something I will never forget this director had ever done to one of the most loved character in the first game. Spoiler alert they killed joel and the worst and most despicable thing is that you will have to control the piece of **** who killed joel just to learn she hulks story. I no longer have the will to watch further into the playthrough and I also will cancel my preorder of this trash game.

But if you are fan of the beautiful story of the first game, there is a high chance that you will not enjoy this game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The WHOLE revenge plot is useless IF you do not take your revenge at all. What were they thinking?

    Imagine killing countless people to reach the killer of your beloved father figure. Then, after killing all those people when you finally find the killer and get a chance to finish it all, you just change your mind. After loosing EVERYTHING YOU ONCE HAD! Seriously, what is the point?

    Sure, graphics are way too damn good to be true, gameplay is smooth but, who cares about these elements if the actual story is garbage. JUST IMAGINE playing as the character that killed your favorite character from the previous title. I'm fine with Joel dying. What I'm not fine with is, the way he died. You just cannot come out of nowhere and kill our beloved character without even showing a motive. I'm sorry but who the hell would even want to play as Abby after all that **** happened?

    I am disappointed.    … Expand

    The story was horrific even though the gameplay was barely decent.

    Us fans waited 7 years for a great new arrival and what we got in return was a pile of vile trash.

    I tried to enjoy this game regardless of all the bad reviews but honestly could not force to trick myself.

    False advertising to promote their game is just a red false flag. 0/10. WOULD NEVER pay again for a naughty dog game.

Great graphics, yeah, pretty good facial animations and the like, but unfortunately it’s bogged down by a pretty contradicting and terrible narrative, with certain characters (Joel specifically) being naive enough to end up in a deathtrap (something anyone who knows Joel would know he’d never do), and with a game focused on revenge, you’d think, you know, the main character (Ellie) would be able to exact that revenge. But that’s not the case here. Seven long years for this?… Expand

The beautiful development of Ellie and Joel's character arcs have been butchered in favour of a new character and its merry band of absolute cringe, who are all unlikable, poorly written and grossly forced towards the player. The story has several unjustified moments that either make no sense or are unnecessary. The ending in particular made me laugh so very hard and ironically, out of pure pain and agony over what I just witnessed. Neil Druckmann should not only be fired from Naughty Dog but banned from writing stories for any other game, film or TV series. If you loved the first game, do yourself a massive favour and stay well away from this disasterpiece. Not only will it ruin the franchise for you, it'll ruin your faith in humanity.… Expand

    What a letdown,
    I don't think that I can add anything that wasn't already said why this game doesn't work as sequel to the Last of Us.

    Gameplay wise it is just the Last of Us with smoother animations and ability to dodge upcoming attacks, so nothing special.
    I wouldn't be as harsh as many people are that the game is 0/10, no game is that bad, maybe some terrible iOS/Android game for kids is really 0/10 but not this one, I would give it like 5/10 but I can also be hypocrite like a lot of reviewers that gave this game 10/10 even though they mentioned many times in the review they didn't like this or that.
    So 4/10 is I think fair score for this game.
    Really don't understand what was the end goal for Naughty Dog here, seems like they took inspiration from SW: the Last Jedi, movie that subverted our expectations with no payoff, basically this is the same, the Last of Us 2 subverts our expectations with no payoff.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us: Part II is an undoubtedly story-based game. So my review will be focused almost entirely on the story. The gameplay is incredibly similar to the first with added movement options and different enemy types.

    Instead of following in the steps of its predecessor, the sequel throws away much of its character-development, atmosphere, and world-building for the sake of adding a playable antagonist. Despite early news promising the development of Ellie and Joel's bond, the latter is killed in the prologue of the game by said antagonist. Instead of naturally becoming a revenge story, the writers try their hardest to make the player emphasize with Abby - something incredibly difficult to accomplish if the player developed a connection to the protagonists from the first game. Characters close to Ellie die or abandon her unceremoniously throughout the course of the game in scenes that seem more reliant on shock value than good writing. Those who die are always taken out by Abby, and you'll occasionally play as her for these scenes. At the ending, Ellie saves Abby's life before challenging her to one last fight. Despite having two of her fingers bitten off in the struggle, Ellie gets the upper hand and is all set to drown the woman who has taken everything from her. With a brief vision of Joel flashing through her mind, she makes a disappointing decision to let go of Abby and allow her to get away. At the end of the day, Ellie is left with nothing. The player has gained nothing.

    The central issue that pervades the entire story is characters acting unlike themselves. Tommy and Joel give their names and home location to an armed group they just met. Jesse, who has been shown to have a level head, rushed through a closed door into a room that could have had any amount of hostiles. He was, of course, immediately shot in the head and killed. Ellie murdered possibly hundreds in her quest to kill Abby, and not only untied her, but she also challenged her to some strange form of honorable combat before letting Abby go free. It is not good writing. It's characters acting completely unpredictable just for something terrible to happen. It's like they can't create shock value without making someone act like an idiot.

    Lastly, there is no joy in The Last of Us: Part II. Not if you came into it with the previous characters in your heart. Every beloved character is dragged through the dirt constantly with no moments of reprieve. It's one miserable scene after the other. The only "uplifting" moments tend to happen when the player is controlling Abby. At the end of the day, there is no satisfaction for the player. None for Ellie. None for Joel, Tommy, Jesse, or Dina. You don't get your adventure with Ellie and Joel. You don't get your revenge. You don't get a glimpse of the hope for a better future that was present in the first game. It's devoid of hope. The only thing you get at the end of the day is a message that revenge is bad, but it falls flat once you realize that the only person who got their vengeance is the one that came out on top.

    The only people who legitimately enjoyed playing The Last of Us 2, for it's story, are people whose ONLY personality trait is either their gender, sexual orientation, or skin colour.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to start?

    My review is not based on the countless BS illegal scams that Naughty Dog and Sony did...

    Honestly, it's not even about what they did to Joel..

    Sadly, this game is one of the biggest disappointments of the this generation.

    The writing of this game was terrible and when I say terrible, I mean the worst I have ever seen. It was a story that was completely meaningless and had no resolution. SkillUp was correct when he said that you could interchange any of the characters and the story would be exactly the same. Joel and Ellie, who were some of the most incredible and well written characters in gaming history, had almost no modern day screen time together.

    "But Raven, what about the flashbacks spread throughout the game??"

    That's the problem... The flashbacks ARE WHAT WE WANTED THIS GAME TO BE!

    There simply is no such thing as TLOU without Ellie AND Joel. Let's be honest, we knew that Joel was going to die. He had to. But not like this... Where is the care, Niel? You both figuratively and literally spit on his corpse. And for what? Some cheap thrills? "To divert my expectations?"

    Let's put Joel and Ellie aside for a moment and simply state the obvious. This game is just one plot whole after another. It didn't make sense in the end. I hated the characters, as expected. The attempt to make Abby likeable (which is the only thing I can assume you did with her sections) was laughable at best. She had no redeeming quality, nothing that made happy about the ending.

    You get a 2 simply for the somewhat updated gameplay and the beautiful set pieces. You could at least do that right.    … Expand

    This game is an insult to previous game.
    It has better technology than before, but has a story like garbage.

    Imagine waiting 7 years for the continuation of one of the best written games of the last generation, just to obtain a sequel that not just is a mess in it's writing, but completely misses the point of the last game; it's not just supposed good and evil but an spectrum between, but TLOU2 just tries to make every character being one or another at certain points just because the writerImagine waiting 7 years for the continuation of one of the best written games of the last generation, just to obtain a sequel that not just is a mess in it's writing, but completely misses the point of the last game; it's not just supposed good and evil but an spectrum between, but TLOU2 just tries to make every character being one or another at certain points just because the writer and/or director says so.
    I love TLOU, but the Part II just misses the mark. But hey, at least is enjoyable while playing... although that wasn't the reason why the first game was so acclaimed in the first place.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Endure and survive"

    I know there is a lot of negative comments right now because they didn't like what has happened to the characters. I think NG exactly wanted to show us what it is like to live life in trauma. to understand the true meaning of "endure and survive".

    Had the roles been reversed in the first game, had you been introduced to Abby and her dad, you would have said otherwise. this was the story to show you that there is no right side. there is no moral line when it comes to these things.
    it was brutal, beautiful and in some parts not far off from emotional torture. I loved it. I would not say its better than the first game. because the first game gave us something that the second one cant. the first game gave us the chance to get another amazing game from the story of Ellie and Joel, all be it short.

    I see a lot of players rating without having finished the game. be patient. It is difficult, just remember to endure and survive.    … Expand

    It's funny that they were putting so much effort to be political correct and don't really care if the whole thing makes sense or not

    they took out the best characters ever to come to gaming history. They destroyed a franchise. They destroyed loving fans, and they destroyed one of the best relationships ive ever seen in my existence. If they ever make a 3rd game, i hope they correct where they messed up.

    Honestly, I wanted to see Joel and Ellie going on an adventure again. But what did we get? I won't give spoilers, but ND spat on our collective faces.

    It breaks my heart to write this, but I really did not expect such a poor story after all these years of waiting. While there were a few genuinely good moments, majority of game filled up with plot holes. It just took elements of what worked for the first game without understanding what made them compelling. It seems like this game was done by other studio, but its not!!. The basicIt breaks my heart to write this, but I really did not expect such a poor story after all these years of waiting.

It seems like this game was done by other studio, but its not!!. The basic gameplay has stayed the same (for better or worse), environment puzzles are almost gone. So remove story from the table and you are left with the shallow gameplay that will have you looking for some other game.… Collapse

    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]
