    The sory is a huge let down coming from the first. Utter **** Characters are bad and irredeemably. Nothing to do with politics or anything, I just hate what they did with such a good franchise. People didn't want to play this story to feel bad and disgusted. We wanted more development for Joel and Ellie. This is a poor continuation of an amazing story. And it kinda upsets me tbh.

Alas, like so many other great developers in recent memory you have become a victim of your own success, assured of your righteousness and infallibility.

    The game plays more like a interactive movie than a video game with half of the time "playing" your really just sitting with the controller on the ground and the rest your just **** walking, that second part could be overlooked if the story wasn't **** ass and a complete disgrace to the first game.

    Disappointing followed with inconsistencies, disrespect, a general lack of logic and decision making, despite the possibility
    of actually making sensible, and realistic decisions (that is basically non-existence in the entire game) that can make the game an actually interesting journey with new and returning characters, but instead, it's mostly dry garbage shoved to your face forcefully.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have n e v e r been so hyped for a game release ever. It held a lot of weight because it was one of the first games I played on PlayStation 3. The characters meant everything to me, the story was amazing. What I didn’t know was that I could get **** emotionally w r e c k e d by playing through about an hour and a half to two hours before I finally realized what this was going to be about. Joel dying, yeah I expect it but I expected it to be at the end of the game or the middle not that early on. At this point I’m like oh god I know where this is going. I was going to press on but I knew if I didn’t read the ending I wouldn’t be happy either way. To go from so high and to get so low was atrocious. Having to Go from excitement of a new game, to being like oh **** they did that but I kind of figured they would let’s just keep going to having to reading spoilers for something on the release day and then to get ran over and backed up on by the story only to realize it means nothing. I don’t even know if I can pick it up and play it again. I feel betrayed. I feel like I need a refund. I feel **** bad for the people forced to work on this piece of **** Who the hell thought this was going to be a good idea. If 2020 seemed like it was slowing down with its **** storm, no. Because this rolls right up there with corona. The only reason I even gave this game a 1 star was because I could hear the soothing sounds of Troy MF Daddy Baker, Even if only for a moment.… Expand

How can people rate this a 10. 1st of all, Joel has 20+ years of smuggling, he should know to fake his identity. But you throw that away and make him an idiot, Tommy too?? Like what were you guys thinking? Having Joel and Tommy the idiots of the game, disappointing. Joel should've known he was being led into enemy territory, example was in the first game where Joel knew he was being tricked by some hunter and ran him with the truck. 2nd of all was the false advertising, how disgusting is that. Tricking your fans, having our hopes high about Joel, then tricking us with flashbacks and Jesse. Naughty Dog, how can you make TLOU so good and come out with a sequel so bad??? 3rd and final, the way Joel died. A beloved character that WE FANS HAVE A WHOLE GAME WITH dies within 2hrs of the game to a chick that we don't care about and don't know. SERIOUSLY?? AND WE'RE FORCED TO PLAY HER AND FEEL SYMPATHY? Absolutely not. If you wanted to end the life of a main character that the fans love so much, at least let him die a hero, protecting or saving Ellie. 1/10 because of graphics.… Expand

I can't believe they did this to this game. Should be ashamed of themselves. Just terrible. And wow have the left wing games "journalists" been exposed over this one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story is a dumpster fire of ruining character progression for shock value and they force you to play as Joel's murderer. Sat there forever trying to come to grips that I have to play this character just to wrap up the story. It's a struggle to get through that part just for "oh hey killing is bad guys" after murdering hundreds of people and... good bois. I can't bash in the skull of Joel's murderer? No choice just... nah. Game play is basically the same but no issue there. Graphics are exceptional if that's all you care about. 1 point just for great graphics and voice acting.… Expand

    People that do not understand why this game actually forces an agenda on the player, probably dont know how subtle they operate and how its transmitted.

    In no game you will find it obviously stated, but it will be portraied with an underlying tone, so that the user might get used to it.
    Showing off transgender/bisexual and so on is not wrong or anything (after all we are all humans with different tastes and intrests), but the way they are presented plays a big role on why this leaves a bad taste.
    It feels forced, it doesent feel natural. If you are trans/bisexual, so be it, but do not make a big deal out of it, as if its superior or any more noteworthy than a straight guy/girl.
    Actually you do not even have to mention it. It is absolutly meaningless for any sane person anyway, because it doesent mean anything anyway.

    With that said, lets begin and talk about whats really really problematic in this game.
    Its the inconsistancy of the characters. The characters do not behave the way from what we have learned about them in the first game. This is why the user gets the idea that the story is forced.
    When a story is forced and you sacrifice any logical character development for it (just to make a point), its only right to see a specific motive behind it that far exceeds the game itself alone. It is then influenced heavily by the authors "own view" no matter what came before it.
    Thats a death sentence for any book, story or whatever.

    The game itself plays like any other Naughty Dog that came before it. Many cutscenes, areas with a narrow path, heavily story driven. Unfortunatly the story is nothing worthwhile and i do not recommend it.    … Expand

    Technically amazing.
    Good (but not great) combat.
    Brutally violent.
    Incredible atmosphere.

    Worst story in Naughty Dog's history by a landslide, which is particularly disappointing since the first Last of Us was one of the best stories I've ever experienced in any medium. Disappointing.

    I was so pumped for this stupid game... How did it go so wrong? I believe games and other media should challenge their audience and their beliefs, but if you're going to do that, you have to do it REALLY well. This game was not done well. The graphics are phenomenal, but graphics don't make the game, that's why it's not a zero.

The limitations of this game is very apparent mechanics wise and story wise it just doesn't make any sense. It pointlessly incites violence for the sake of it, then adds in feminist sjw agendas to it probably influenced by anita Sarkeesian. The romance is nauseous at best, the gameplay is outdated, the environment is decent, the story like I said is abysmally bad.… Expand

    I have waited so long for this game but all i got was a game with very good graphics and nice atmosphere. Apart from these things it is absolutely garbage. Character "development" is horrible and story pacing is **** Plus it seems to try pushing a certain agenda with all the trans and gay characters in it. I have the feeling Druckmann created a game not for the fans but himself.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How do I even begin... This game is right up there as one of the worst disappointments in gaming history. I cannot fathom how they can utterly destroy the series along with its main characters in the first 2 hours of a game.

    We waited 7 years for this trash, and we are welcome with Joel getting killed off by the very **** **** he saved just moments earlier. Not only that, we are FORCED to play as this character and actually sympathize with her. God knows nobody wants nothing to do with no **** Abby and nobody **** cares about her backstory - not when she downright murdered Joel with a golf club right in front of Ellie. The ending is trash and antithetical. We get no closure. No respect for Joel, or the first game. The gameplay and graphics are half decent but its all for nothing when you've got a **** of a 'story' to 'play' for.

The ending is pointless and makes it feel like the whole game and story was for nothing. Terrible story, character development and execution.

    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.
