    this is legitimately one of the laziest, most contrived, garbage stories ever written, neil stuckman or whatever his name is took one of the greatest games ever and just ruined its legacy with this absolute nonsense fanfiction. some of the worst writing since game of thrones season 8

    1/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я прошёл игру и теперь могу поделиться своими впечатлениями (разочарованиями). Знаете какие два урока я вынес из второй части TLoU 2? Первый: глупость - корень всех проблем человечества. Второй: дела нужно доводить до конца. И никакого «насилие порождает ещё больше насилия». Вообще не так. Все проблемы героев исходят строго из того, что они становятся добренькими в тех ситуациях, где этого делать КАТЕГОРИЧЕСКИ не следует, да ещё и в совокупности с невероятной человеческой глупостью. И это я ещё не упомянул о множестве других проблем игры: не упомянул я о куче логических несостыковок, о персонажах добавленных только ради повестки, и ситуациях с ними связанных, о жестокости ради жестокости и так далее. Наконец чтобы проникнуться злодеем, я должен ему сопереживать. А как я могу сопереживать дезертиру, убивающему своих бывших товарищей, ради людей, которые мало того, что спасли ее случайно, так ещё и она в первые же секунды расплатилась с ними сполна. Не говоря уже о том, что она убила самого любимого персонажа первой части. В общем той концовки, что ей дали сценаристы она явно не заслуживала. Единственное за что хочется похвалить игру - графика и локации. Вот они потрясающие. За это игре 2 балла, а не ноль.… Expand

    A sequel to a quite popular work, accepted as a well-written dystopian action game, with strong emphasis on it's characters, their development and their bond to each other.

    I always thought, that the first one had quite repetitive and let's just say, pretty simple gameplay, a really good presentation, a cool and interesting hero, solid storytelling and good world-building. It was a decent game overall.

    Now, the second part has that.. sort of I guess... And even more. "Great" one might think. Eh eh, sorry to disappoint you guys. The cool & interesting hero is not the protagonist anymore and is literally gone after a few hours and the "more" is actually something, that games and art generally should have less of...

    And that is pandering, virtue signalling and an agenda-driven intention, to push ideologies. Don't get me wrong, an artist generally can of course use art as a way to express the personality, feelings or to sent a message, in my opinion – that is totally welcome and interesting for a reflective recipient, no matter if agreeing with the artist or not. But in this case, an form of art is MISUSED to PUSH their own viewings and ideas on others drastically... And as a gamer since the 80s, that is something I want, can, should and must not tolerate. So, I raise my voice as a real GAMER via this platform and say NO to The Last of Us Part II.

    Out of a quite well-narrated grim action game with emotional moments for mature players, they made a dull teenager walking simulator drama infected with identity politics.

    I am afraid of what they might do to Nathan in the future, if they decide to carry on with the Uncharted Franchise. I mean, he is a cool, masculine straight white male, right? And that is something, that does not fit their agenda at all... but hairy arm pits, folks, hairy arm pits on females do. Apparently.

    Hope that Naughty Dog will soon announce: "THE LAST GAME OF US".

    2) The ending . .. so i saw the final fight . REALLY ? its like KILL BILL but without killing bill !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    Im so glad i saved $85 dollars of my hard earned money on this ; not to mention HOURS and HOURs of gameplay . I was hoping for a similar experience as i did for the first last of us ; but thank goodness for the leaks that happened a couple of months ago ...

    I would've preferred if the developers left us at a cliff hanger forever. Abby would've died if there were an option for it. 7 years. I feel like the developers only catered to their own story instead of worrying about their fan bases opinion

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolute garbage. If you are interested in the story then just watch a playthough of it on YouTube. I don’t know who thought a post apocalyptic revenge plot was a good idea but they should be fired for how they disrespected the story and characters built up in the first The Last of Us game. It’s so obvious that Neil Druckmann wrote this game for himself and not for the fans. The gameplay itself is basically the same as the first game with a few minor added details and the graphics are phenomenal but it’s quite literally nothing we haven’t seen before. The Last of Us Part II does nothing to innovate itself or the genre it fits in like its consumer based had hoped. It’s just absolute nonsensical for what it was.

    Spoilers: The way they disrespected Joel’s character in a way that completely tears apart the character Naughty Dog designed him to be in Part 1 is a testament to their mindset when producing the entirety of this game. And honestly how does Ellie manage to kill dozens of people throughout the entire game but OUT OF NOWHERE has an epiphany as if rEVeNgE iS WrONg when faced with the opportunity to enact the revenge that the whole story is centered around? Honestly Neil, you should re-evaluate your love for writing good original stories because this wasn’t it.    … Expand

    They tried to please the people that won't buy this shiet of a game and just ignored the player/gamer that loved the first one. Ya know what's worse? They fired the women who wrote the story for the first game. Hypocrites.

    But they completely ruined the franchise with this one. And don't get me wrong, the gameplay is fine (pretty much the same as the first game with a little more gimmicks) , and the graphics are great. But the last of us wasn't and never will be a fun game because of its gameplay, it's about the beautiful story that leads you through interesting plots and the interesting characters you meet along the way. But sadly this game does not have that. The story does not make sense, the characters are boring, the game is more like a pro LGBT community AD. Dont get me wrong. Whatever rows your boat, but I don't need to see two "men" literally having sex in a zombie game. And the best part is that Joel, the guy who brutally murdered atleast 200 humans and zombies in the first game, Dies within the first hour because the devs thought it was necessary to kill the main character in a humiliating way, even though you spent 15 hours playing him in the first game to build a story that was so boring and trash, to the point of asking myself why I 'm even playing this game... Oh I know. Because I payed 60$ for it... Save your money and get a game that's actually worth that price.    … Expand

I honestly don't know where to start, it's honestly baffling to me that you can kill one of the two main characters within the first 5% of the game and think the game is gonna be enjoyable after, isn't enjoyment the whole purpose of Video Games? Why do you go out of your way to just make this game as un-enjoyable as possible.

    Don't get me wrong the game is pretty and the area's are well thought out, but the story and gameplay OOF. Gameplay is just a repetitive **** show, where you clear one area of enemy's and continue to the next.

    And don't get me started on the story, halfway through and it just felt like a draaaaaaag, having to play 10 Hours of a Character that i couldn't care less about really hit the nail in the coffin for this game.

    i don't know what else to type i'm just way to upset to keep this going.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is such a letdown from such a long development cycle and so much anticipation. Perhaps it was the hype behind it or it was the huge shadow that the first game cast over it, but Neil and the writing team at ND should be one hundred percent ashamed and embarrassed of themselves. The story is weak and based on a lie, Neil said that they wouldn't do something as cheap as kill Joel extra early for that cheap shock factor, but then did it anyways. That part's bad enough already, but the worst part was after playing as the character (Ellie) we actually cared about you FORCE me to play as Abby the one that kills Joel, the other character we care about, for hours and hours on end. The best way to describe the gameplay is uncharted 4 with a little bit of The Last of Us sprinkled in and exclussively on the player. Enemies number in the hundreds, have unlimited ammo, pinpoint accuracy and AI ranges from agitating to full blown idiotic. The gameplay is copy pasted to TLoU pt 2 from the first one, sneak around, stealth enemy until stealth is no longer an option, but of course there are way too many points where Naughty Dog thought it'd be funny to put way to many portions where stealthing is not an option. And when the game doesn't provide enough recources to stabilize the player during firefight after firefight in a SURVIVAL game, it creates frustrating loops of trial and error. Changes were made seemingly to make things worse. Stalkers are completely invisible in listen mode, you can't swap bottle/brick on the fly, stealth sections are made purposefully impossible to complete 100% stealthy and you can't just sneak through entire areas like you could in the first one.

    Abby's section(s) are unenjoyable mostly because I spend the whole game wanting this character to die. I don't care who her dad was, I don't care who she loved or **** I don't care what she does or what she did. She will always be the one that killed Joel and I want her to die in the most painful of ways, but Neil and his writing team thought that her killing Joel should be in the opening hours of the game rather than flip it, backstory then kill Joel. This was a lazy, slap in the face so I often spent the massive amount of time playing as her to kill her on purpose.

    The areas, in the vein of uncharted 4, are trying to be a little more open and while I appreciate the attempt at making these worlds feel lived in and it definitely makes the environment more interesting than the actual characters or story, those "side quests" can range from pointless to impossibly pointless, being more trouble than they're worth.

    The point of this game, according to Neil was hatred and revenge. Major ending spoilers, so after what amounts to 20+ hours of gameplay, literally the last couple levels are Ellie vs the Cartel in order to again track Abby down and kill her. What was it all leading up to? What happens to Ellie? She lets Abby go. When you effectively shoot yourself in the foot at the beginning of the game and then in the other foot forcing me to play as a character I as the player actively HATE and cannot wait to kill and then force this morality on me, it's utter trash and stupid. I WANTED to put her through what she put Joel through worse even. She should've died. I'm supposed to believe that after killing: David, Hunters, infected after infected, countless nameless survivors between this game and the first one, countless wolves, Scarred, Owen and a pregnant woman, that Ellie is suddenly inflicted with morality and can't do this?

    So since the story is so weak and the ending is the gaming comparison to a middle finger from Neil what about the gameplay? Well it's dated. The core of it is fine, but it borrows too much from Uncharted 4. It's action packed setpiece after setpiece like it's Uncharted. I'm limited to 8 shells of shotgun ammo vs this Scarred dude who can put 7 arrows into me as I try to rush him, but since Naughty Dog saw this as an affront to their "hide in the tall grass and shank people" loop they wanted they jacked up the enemies aggression and accuracy to 20 and said **** you". Uncharted 4's grass as cover thing worked better because you were invisible when you did it, but since Ellie takes about 3 weeks to slit a dude's throat and read them their blessings you end up getting spotted because she takes the better part of a month to kill one person. The infected are dealt with similarly, the Shambler is a nusciance forcing stealth into open combat, just don't bother. The "boss" in Abby's section was utterly idiotic. And Naughty dog is to scared to mingle human and infected enemies together for more than two or three sections. And to ensure you're forced to clear all enemies before proceeding you have to hold triangle through all doors. At least the graphics are nice to look at sorta.

    If Neil was going for a game that focused on hatred, congrats, mission accomplished. We hate your game.    … Expand

And if you kill him, give him a respectful death, not a random one from a new random character we can only hate. Ellie doesn't even get revenge at the very end of the game.

    I largely dismissed reviews and went into this game with an open mind. I loved the Last of Us Part I and played through it a few different times so I figured the outrage over Part II must be exaggerated. It isn't (and I'm gay so no, it has nothing to do with gay characters as some defenders of this game are bizarrely claiming to dismiss accurate criticism).

    I'll start with the good. The    I largely dismissed reviews and went into this game with an open mind. I loved the Last of Us Part I and played through it a few different times so I figured the outrage over Part II must be exaggerated. It isn't (and I'm gay so no, it has nothing to do with gay characters as some defenders of this game are bizarrely claiming to dismiss accurate criticism).

    I'll start with the good. The graphics. True to the first, the graphics are amazing. That's why I gave the game a point...and it's literally the only positive I can find.

    Now to the substance (or lack thereof). The storyline is absolute garbage. I'm going to try to avoid spoilers (they can easily be found elsewhere), so to put it generally, characters from the first game are like completely different people. In the first they were hardened, intelligent, cautious and had depth. In Part II, they're completely superficial and the writers seemed more interested in changing the characters to fit a storyline rather than creating a storyline to fit the characters.

    New characters are completely unlikeable and uninteresting. It's not "Oh I don't like this mean character, I want everyone to be sweet and nice and without conflict!" It's more like, "What is this nonsense? Why is this character so forced? Who wrote this trash?"

    There are several instances throughout the story that are purely for shock value and emotional impact. That would be completely fine if they had any depth or substance but it just comes off as gimmicky and desperate. There's less actual emotional impact and more just eye rolling at how ridiculous and out of place it is. There are multiple massive plot holes that are never explained and a very bizarre ending that makes no sense.

    When I first played through Part I, I couldn't put it down and had to know how it ended. Part II, I had to force myself to finish and was just bored, unsatisfied and annoyed by the end.

    I'm honestly baffled as to what the creators were trying to do here. It's like they created a game for people who live on twitter rather than their actual paying customers and fans of the first game. I really feel like an idiot for having wasted money on this.

    I'm even more baffled at all the positive reception by "critics" and "journalists." I get that taste is subjective and if someone likes this game that's perfectly fine, but really, the storyline is just so objectively bad, superficial and lowbrow. I really question the motivations of someone who could give this a 90-100 score, especially if they've already played/are a fan of Part I.

    Pay attention to user reviews before you waste your money on this game. The ridiculous narrative that they're all "fake" is simply untrue. The game really is that bad.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So here is an honest review from someone who has actually played the game. This game is a massive disappointment for five reasons.

    1: It completely abandons the morally ambiguous theme of the first game. In the end of TLOU 1, Joel killed Fireflies for a completely selfish reason and doomed the lives of millions. There was no concept of good or bad in that game, Joel was not "good or bad" and whether you agreed with his decision came down to the player, blurring the line of what was right and wrong. Now in the sequel, Ellie AND Abby, who I'll talk about later, have the sense that they are right and what they did was "right" and they are completely morally justified in what they did and the player is supposed to agree and sympathize with both of them splitting the players decision. Either their both good, both bad or one is good and the other is bad. Abandoning such a massive concept that people loved the first game for is an embarrassment.

    2: it devalues the lie that Joel told Ellie in the first game. In this game that topic has a total of two cut scenes in the game dedicated to it despite it being the whole reason people wanted a sequel. Not only is it not focused on but it is also not the centerpiece of the game which brings me to number 2

    3: The game's centerpiece is revenge. This element is not focused on justly in any form of media in my opinion, and when it is, it is so predictable to guess what happens and in this game after Ellie massacre's hundreds of people, she decides the let the person who was responsible for Joel's death live making the whole journey throughout the game, including plot and character development, utterly pointless and the previous sentence stated brings me to reason 3

    4: Abby, the antagonist responsible for Joel's death, has very little connection to the first game despite the fact that she is the centerpiece of this game which even further devalues reason one. Her reason for being in this game is that Joel killed her father, the surgeon Joel stabbed in The Last of Us. Now wanting revenge for your father is a valid reason for being in a game, but when your father is a faceless,meaningless character in the overall plot of the first game, it makes the character that wants revenge even more meaningless. It's even more pointless since Ellie doesn't even kill Abby...in a revenge based plot...let that sink in...

    5: So Ellie has found out the truth about the Fireflies and she's hunted Abby down and didn't do anything. So as an audience you'd think that'd be the end right. Wrong, because us as an audience never found closure. After this 20 hour game, that wastes our time on a revenge plot so pointless and uninteresting the vaccine still never gets made. We never get out "the end". Our period at the end of the sentence. At the end, we even find out that some Fireflies are still alive. You know what that means? That's right, we get sequel baited!! Isn't that great?....

    It's really pushing it calling this game, The Last of Us 2, when the main element from the first game is not focused on, when the antagonist is not connected to the main element of the first game making me getting interested in her void and pointless and only leads me to hating her more so when she has an entire 50% of the game dedicated to her since you play as her in the second half, and the main character of The Last of Us 1 dies in the first 2 hours of playtime, and when the centerpiece that was expected is replaced with a predictable, easy to guess plot,with practically no surprises. This game holds no emotional weight that was present in the first game and when it does hold emotional weight it isn't related to the first game, or I am desensitized into even caring since the only two cases where there is emotional weight is: one of the only characters I care about dies before he gets any meaningful screen time or the emotional presence is related to a new character that I don't care about because I haven't had time to get to know them and their character arcs are either bleak or not present. This game is not a sequel, and to anyone who says,"But it has good game-play/graphics". That is completely irrelevant since this is a story based game, and if the story sucks, it makes the entire game meaningless in terms of its reason for even existing in the first place.    … Expand

    The games director inserted himself into a mocap sex scene with the new protagonist. Its his face digitised onto a random NPC's body. He's literally sleeping with his own creation.
    Ellie ends up taking care of a Child after her girlfriend sleeps with a random man of African descent. She accepts the affair and just raises a dead beat mans child, and this is portrayed as a positive.
    And of course Joel is murdered before Ellie and himself can reach any reconciliation with regards to his actions at the finale of the original game, no attempt is made at compelling writing he's killed as shock value.

    There is more to hate, but you shouldn't plsy the game to find out. I refunded it the next day. Don't feed the trolls who claim all criticism of Tlou2 is homophobic, fans welcomed the Left behind DLC with open arms despite it establishing Ellie as a lesbian this game is a train wreck, a power fantasy of a director who decided he wanted to use Tlou as a springboard for his own game instead of crafting a sequel. Naughty Dog didn't even pay the dev team during the final months of development.

Die Story, in der Joel seine Tochter verliert, mit Elli jedoch Ersatz findet und mit ihr all diese Abenteuer besteht und sie am Schluss aus Liebe rettet, ist einfach unfassbar gut gewesen.

    Schlichtweg ALLES! Der erste Teil war und ist ein Meilenstein der Videospielgeschichte. Die Story, in der Joel seine Tochter verliert, mit Elli jedoch Ersatz findet und mit ihr all diese Abenteuer besteht und sie am Schluss aus Liebe rettet, ist einfach unfassbar gut gewesen. Ich war oft zu Tränen gerührt und habe den ersten Teil unendlich oft durchgespielt. Kurz vor Release des zweiten Teils, noch auf Erbarmunglos die letzten Trophäen geholt. Dann kam der zweite Teil...

    Was ich gut fand:
    Grafik, Gameplay, Atmosphäre, Sound, Synchronisation sowie die vielen Zwischensequenzen, machen das Spiel zu einem echten Erlebnis!
    Was ich furchtbar finde:
    Story, Charaktere und Charakterentwicklung, Erzählweise und die völlig übertriebene Gewalt. Punkt 1: Die Lieblingsfigur zu Anfang zu töten war völlig krank Aber nein, er wurde nicht nur einfach getötet, er wurde in einer minutenlangen Gewaltorgie, regelrecht Hingerichtet. Mir standen die Tränen in den Augen und ich konnte fast nicht hinsehen... Ja, es sollte polarisieren. Ja, es sollte Hass schüren. Aber hier völlig unangebracht! Das war in etwa so, als hätte man eine Fortsetzung von dem Film Hatchiko gedreht, in der man von der absolut herzergreifenden Beziehung zu seinem Herrchen, von dem der ganze Film gelebt hat, völlig ablässt, den Hund bestialisch hinrichtet und den Zuschauer zwingt, für den Rest des Films, dem Mörder zuzuschauen. Da fehlen mir echt die Worte für... Was mich zum nächsten Punkt bringt... Punkt 2: Charaktere Was ist bloß aus Elli geworden? Das kleine, freche, lebenslustige, liebenswerte Mädchen, ist nun eine emotionslose, kaltblütige Killerin geworden, der es nur um Rache geht... Die Story könnte direkt aus einem Liam Neeson Film entsprungen sein mit dem Unterschied, dass Liam am Schluß zumindest immer seine Rache bekommt. Elli metzelt sich stundenlang fluchend durch endlose Gegnerhorden, um Abby dann am Schluß doch laufen zu lassen... Warum zum Teufel? Schwach, sehr schwach! Abby:
    Kurz gesagt: Ich habe jede Minute Spielzeit mit ihr gehasst. Ich habe sie sogar öfters absichtlich sterben lassen, um irgendwie Befriedigung zu bekommen. Ihre kurze Vorgeschichte und die Rückblende mit ihrem Vater, machen das nicht besser. Es ist einfach eine von unnötigem Hass und Rachegelüsten durchzogene Storyline, die dem ursprünglichen Geist des ersten Teils, völlig zuwider läuft. Rache ist sinnlos? Ach was, Naughty Dog, dass hättet ihr auch nebenbei dem Spieler beibringen können. Aber als tragendes Element für dieses Spiel, völliger Fehlschlag!

    Tommy:
    War Tommy im ersten Teil und zu Anfang des zweiten noch ein liebenswerter, Bodenständiger, logisch handelnder Kerl, mutiert er im letzten Kapitel ebenfalls zu einem, von Rachegelüsten getriebenen Choleriker, der völlig geisteskrank reagiert, als Elli ihm erst ausschlägt, Abby erneut zu suchen. Das widerspricht allem, was Tommy die ganze Zeit ausgemacht hat! Absolut allem. Völlig unlogisch.
    Fazit:
    Alles, was das erste Spiel für mich ausgemacht hat, habt ihr zerstört. Während ich den ersten Teil auch heute noch zum zigsten Mal gerne spiele, mir allein am Schluß mit Joel und Elli ewig die Giraffen vorm Krankenhaus anschauen kann, jede Minute genieße, hat der zweite Teil für mich einen Wiederspielwert von einer glatten Null! Die völlig übertriebene Gewalt tut ihr übriges. Ich habe nichts gegen Gewalt im Gegenteil, die Brutalität im ersten fand ich sehr gut und passte absolut zu der erbarmungslosen Dystopie des Spiels. Aber jetzt? Nach dem brutalen abmetzeln von unzähligen Menschen war ich am Schluß so abgestumpft und es war mir dermaßen gleichgültig, ob jetzt jemand lebt oder stirbt, dass es mir echt schon Angst gemacht hat. Ein Spiel lebt vor allem von der Geschichte. Das Entwicklerteam hat einen echt grandiosen Job gemacht, aber die Storywriter gehören auf der Stelle und ohne Diskussion entlassen! Ihr habt das Andenken des Vorgängers nicht nur mit Füßen getreten, ihr habt ihn erstochen, erschossen, zerhackt, verbrannt und noch auf die Asche gespuckt. Ich bin maßlos enttäuscht und wünschte, ihr hättet nie einen zweiten Teil gemacht. Bestes Beispiel, wie es richtig geht, war Uncharted 4 Lebendige, liebenswerte Charaktere mit Tiefgang, eine grandiose Story und ein absolut tolles Happy-End am Meer... Was will man mehr? Der Wahnsinn! Aber euer eigentliches Meisterwerk, euer Baby, habt ihr im Dreck verrecken lassen! Was soll dieses trostlose Ende? Elli kann keine Gitarre mehr spielen, was sie so sehr geliebt hat, lässt die Gitarre und somit auch Joel hinter sich, Dina hat sie verlassen und sie geht einsam in den Sonnenuntergang... Unfassbar frustrierend!    … Expand

    Disappointing beyond words. The Last of Us can now join Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. in the graveyard of once beloved series and much anticipated sequels. What big studios are consistently revealing, whether it be with regard to movies or games, is that they ultimately do not understand what made fans come to love their series in the first place.

    Great visuals/graphics (in games) or    Disappointing beyond words. The Last of Us can now join Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. in the graveyard of once beloved series and much anticipated sequels. What big studios are consistently revealing, whether it be with regard to movies or games, is that they ultimately do not understand what made fans come to love their series in the first place.

    Great visuals/graphics (in games) or special effects (in film) cannot compensate for competent storytelling and treatment of characters. And at various points, if you pay sufficient attention to character motivation and established traits, you will find yourself utterly baffled by the sheer amount of out-of-character behavior.

    I'll give the political dimension of the game some more detailed discussion. I'll preface by saying that I identify with a number of liberal/progressive/what some might call "social justice warrior" causes (I happen to be a minority myself). But even though I think these are good causes, that does not mean I enjoy being preached to or impelled to think a certain way. The tone of this game approaches preachiness at various points and REGARDLESS of what the message is, for people who think critically, there is NOTHING more likely to provoke an instinctive backlash than telling people how they ought to think.

    Diversity in media is a good thing, but the treatment of the characters in this game, who unarguably represent a range of diverse identities, is almost insultingly shallow and superficial. They remain largely uncharacterized and undeveloped beyond the single trait which the writers apparently think will suffice to speak for their whole person. If they were to try it all over again, I'd tell the studio to go for quality over quantity. Focus on investing your "X character" with more depth and dimensionality than "well he's the X character." Games and movies which choose not to develop their characters in these more nuanced ways may in fact harm more than help the causes they believe they are championing.

    I would probably give this game a -2 or -1 if that was possible, as I feel as though I actually lost something from my experience. Since that's not possible, a zero will have to do.    … Expand

Unlike the first game there are no silver linings throughout the story that greatly contributed to the enjoyment of the original Last of Us, as it also carried a lot of weight. There's little to no feel good moments past the first hour or so of the game; all melancholic or upsetting. Combine this with new largely un-relatable characters, it's easy to wish they didn't make this game and left the first game to it's own. This game would have been better suited as either a spin-off or a standalone title; it's really that different from it's origins. The implications of the success of games like this has grave implications for the gaming industry.

    If you loved TLOU, don't play this sequel, save those 60 euros for cyberpunk 2077 or Ghost of Tsushima
    It is style until the last jedi, the story, the narrative, the plot, the script the characters do not make sense, the development of the characters is little or nothing,
    When the situation gets spicy, we have flashbacks that break the rhythm of the game.
    The game becomes boring, very repetitive more or less from the middle to the end especially the parts you play as abby, and a mechanic that I hate in video games; quick time events.
    And the only credible review from the video game press is IGN Japan when it says there are boring new characters.

    Naughty Dog tries to "subvert expectations" by creating a clash of forced ideology and politics.
    The last 12 hours are terribly boring, you just want to get to the end fast and kill the final boss, and refund the game in the store.
    The game fails from the start, Joel would never have trusted a stranger.

    Both Joel and his brother knew the Fireflies will be looking for him, or at least they should expect that after purging the whole building of Fireflies. But instead they get surrounded by armed strangers and they just gave out their real names like dummies. Like hi, my brother here, his name is JOEL.

    This game deserves a 3/10 maximum.

    The video game press and ND emphasize that the game is about revenge, but in the end that long-awaited revenge does not come, after killing everyone, you do not kill the "Villain", because in the last second you realized that "circle of revenge is bad" WTF?!!, an unsatisfactory anticlimactic ending,
    the ending is a **** cliche!!!!!

    The trailer of 09/24/19 is false, it makes us believe that the one who covers our mouth is Joel but no, surprise is jesse !! This should be able to be reported for misleading advertising.

    My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
    Naughty Dog has made an effort so that the game is not fun it has succeeded.

    On a technical level it was more or less what was expected BUT the history is pure garbage. 0/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was hesitant on buying this because of what I heard from leaks, though I did my best to avoid them. So at the last minute I decided I’d get it and make my own decision. And wow, I honestly wish I could get my money back. Not only is the story awful, but I could care less about the characters. I literally had no feelings towards any of them besides our already established ones. This felt like an interactive movie. You can watch all the cutscenes online and you’ll basically miss nothing. It felt like the actual ‘gameplay’ was walking from point A to B and some combat sprinkled in. I grew so tired of the stealth, the AI is easily manipulated, I was sick of seeing the same neck stab/break animation depending on who you’re playing, I started to go into the combat guns blazing. When I did that I was able to clear out the area so quickly. On top of that, you'll get an audio prompt that everyone is dead in the area like “I think that’s all of them.” Meaning, nothing is going to surprise you now and you’re free to collect your resources and now you’re off for the next 30-60 minutes of walking or cutscenes. Difficulty should not have to be inflated to make the actual gameplay/combat just feel longer. And it’s not like the combat is much different than it was 7 years ago, it’s actually easier especially since Ellie has her endless knife and Clickers are totally pathetic now. This game in essence is a QTE Movie/Walking Sim. Just watch the cutscenes online and you’ll pretty much miss out on nothing. There’s nothing here in this game that hasn’t been seen before or done better.… Expand

    They try to lure you in with the pretty graphics and the world you know and love, only this time instead of coherent world building and thoughtful interplay between characters you know and love you're essentially being lectured to by feminists. This is supposed to be your entertainment and escape. "Look what they did to my boy"

    Game is visually spectacular but that's where it ends unfortunately. The story is bad, the writing is atrocious (bigot sandwiches anyone?), the characters are lame and the game is a massive boring chore to playthrough. This game is so bad it makes ME: Andromeda look like a masterpiece.

    Its a piece of sh*t wrapped in gold, the graphics and gameplay are really good but the story really ruin everything good about this game.
    The failed the characters and everything the first game build, just like s8 of GOT its really impressive but it actually has no soul or loyalty to the fans or characters, and no respect to the first game.

    So you thought you'd buy the Last of Us Part II, as you enjoyed the character and story line of the original? I mean it certainly wasn't for the stiff gameplay, or open world exploration. Naughty Dog have gone out of their way, to ensure these are not in the sequel. Extremely disappointing - don't believe the 'critics' you know most of them aren't even gamers these days.

It's a Druckman troll job against people who enjoyed the first game. I don't know what it is with SJW's and their never ending determination to destroy rather than create, but this game is a constant in-your-face progressive propaganda fairy tale that spits on everything that made the first game a success. Druckman inserts himself (no pun intended) in the most cringy Jeffrey Epstein inspired moment that makes you wish they shipped a MiB Neuralyzer with the game.… Expand

    Graphics are nice but I can only recommend this game if you really hated the characters in the first game. I can't believe Naughty Dog managed to screw up one of the greatest Playstation exclusives, Sony must be furious.

    If you loved the first game, just forget this game was ever released.

    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]
