    I was very upset with the way the story went for the game. Overall i thought the graphics and gameplay were good but the story was trash.

    Its worse than what Disney did to Star Wars.

    This game has the worst storyline I've ever seen in my life, especially from a big company. The characters had their personality totally changed compared to the first game, the dialogues are very weak and boring, it's a total mess.

    Not really my cup of tea. I typically stick to the early 2000's Tiger Woods games but my grandson convinced me to play this garbage. I could barely understand what the heck was going on and the controls were difficult.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I´been waiting for this game and now that i have it im just heartbroken, first i don't care about Elie being Lesbian(Thing we know from the first game) or about Joel´s Death because we all knew that would happen. I never watch or read the Leaks but the thing is it doesn't matter, the game try so hard to surprise you and i think that's the reason for killing Joel in that way, but why?
    Abby is not a bad character but after what happened with Joel i can't relate with her, if you do something like that first be sure that we care about that character, a 10 minute flashback is not going to make me love her and support her actions.
    The second thing is Joel himself, in the first game he didn't trust in anyone and suspect from everybody but here he just say "Howdy Doodly, my name is Joel i live there i'm gonna mark it in your map for you my friend , oh you want me to go inside that room? ok im gonna follow you to this dark room room and let you close the door because in the lord's land everyone is good right?" and he is not the only one, Ellie acts REALLY different and...is just feels like this game was made by another studio, a study that thought "People like meaningless plot twist, let's show them HOURS OF CUT SCENES, that way they'll love our characters" the gameplay is literally the same and the only good thing is the graphics and the music. my final thoughts are:
    Mediocre story 0/10
    Gameplay exactly the same 6/10
    Amazing graphics, I don't understand how ps4 supports this 10/10
    Music amazing 10/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a below average game with a shockingly twisted story, dear oh my all that great talent and acting wasted on a script like this. And despite seeing all the anger from many people due to certain scenes, deaths, the ending, none of that really matters.

    What matters is, you took away the loving bond that was the heart and soul of this series by killing Joel and creating a dark revenge storyline that eventually "killed" Ellie too and this series as well, instead of something more positive and vibrant.

    This is what brings depression to the people of our world. Video games are over if this continues, they are meant to relax, amuse and entertain you. Sometimes make you cry, but not leave you depressed, horrified and absolutely destroyed on the inside.

    For example, our dear Italian friend Hideo who sells pizza for a living loved this series back from the PS3 days, he couldn't contain his tears and went off from our discord and into anxiety when this originally leaked, and now 3 months later he is still in such disbelief and shock that he refuses to talk to anyone about anything gaming or spaghetti related. We hope you are ok wherever you are partner. Thanks for ruining him Neil, you and your golf game did this. Ugh, he's never going to be eating spaghetti again.

    Some good moments as to why it's still a solid game, the visuals are very good, as well as the fluid facial and body animations, but it still feels like it's the first game just in 4k with a few more gameplay tweaks. Which isn't bad, but overally due to everything else, yeah...can't get a good grade.

    And last but not least, a few hours after beating the game, i am left to wonder two more simple things.

    Was the sequel really needed? No

    Is our Dedito really gae? Yes.

    Once again, thanks Neil.    … Expand

    Oh boy, where to begin...

    Firstly I would like to say that I never completed the first game purely because I didn’t like the gameplay but I Ioved the story so much that I watched a full walkthrough on youtube. Normally with me if I don’t enjoy the gameplay on ANY game, I will stop playing and will forget about the game like I never played it, but not with The Last Of Us. The first game is    Oh boy, where to begin...

    Firstly I would like to say that I never completed the first game purely because I didn’t like the gameplay but I Ioved the story so much that I watched a full walkthrough on youtube. Normally with me if I don’t enjoy the gameplay on ANY game, I will stop playing and will forget about the game like I never played it, but not with The Last Of Us. The first game is DEFINITELY one of the best written games ever and the connection you had between yourself and the characters is so amazing that you didn’t even have to play the game to feel that way, and even though I didn’t enjoy the gameplay I personally feel that the story was AT LEAST 9/10. And now moving onto the second game...

    I want to say that when the games plot leaked originally I didn’t mind and I thought it would just get better by context, but oh man I was 100% wrong. I Then started to panic a bit when it was coming out that 70% of the studio left because they didn’t like the way the game was heading and the way they treated their staff leading up to the release of this game (AKA Johnathan Cooper). And then that leaves us up till now, when the game has released. I have seen pretty much a walkthrough of the whole game missing out some parts like the middle but overall I know what this game is. All I have to say is Neil Druckmann and Anita Sarkeesian should NEVER be allowed to go anywhere near the gaming industry EVER AGAIN. And before people start to call me a homophobe, this is not the reason I HATE this game it is because of...

    1. The absolute HORRENDOUS character development/writing. You could genuinely remove some of these people from the game and it would make a difference AT ALL.
    2. The CLEAR AGENDA THEY ARE SHOVING DOWN EVERYONES THROATS. Politics shouldn’t be in games unless it is significant and essential to the games story/plot.
    3. The DISRESPECT they have shown fans from the first game because this is EVERYTHING WE DIDN’T WANT. I could think of a hundred better directions this game could have gone in.
    4. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. I COULD GO ON FOREVER AND EVER.

    I honestly don’t want to go on because what they have done to this franchise is CRIMINAL and the disrespect they have shown characters that we fell in love with in the original is nothing short of disgusting. I could go over so much more but it genuinely makes me sad, don’t get me wrong this game is beautiful in terms of graphics and it’s gameplay looks much better than the first but the reason we fell in love with the last of us is because of the story. AND THEY COMPLETELY DESTROYED IT. I honestly can’t believe they thought this was a good idea and in my eyes, there is only ONE The Last Of Us.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, you know what you did wrong Naughty Dog.
    You don't need me to say how you **** up.
    You know what you did, you had your chance.
    Joel is dead.
    Ellie's relationship gets thrown down the gutter.
    She doesn't find true love and doesn't get her revenge because she imagines Joel playing a guitar.
    Which I guess is supposed to mean "He doesn't want you to kill her"
    But people who played the last game know damn well if Ellie died Joel would burn forests and shatter mountains to find the bastard that killed Ellie just to perform every Mortal Kombat Finisher imaginable on them.

    People are now trying to discredit these reviews as review bombers who haven't played the full 25-30 game experience and thus can't criticize the game but that is **** personified. If the game kills off a main character in the first hour, and you give it another 4 hours to get good, why would you spend the next 20-25 hours playing the game if you don't like it. How many chances are you required to give a game before your review is seen as valid.
    They're also saying this is because of the "lgbt and trans characters in the game" but we've been fine with those characters every since that DLC of the first game came out. Also THEY are the ones that ended the only lgbt relationship in the damn game, not me. I would've prefered at the very least for Ellie to find love or someone to comfort her after the game's ending other than a **** guitar. But THEY are the ones that ruined that. Don't say the reviewer hate lgbt characters when the developers don't seem to want those relationships in the game either.

    Don't buy the game. The entirety of the cutscenes are on youtube and the gameplay isn't that much diferent from the last game. If you're so desperate for gameplay then play the last game or play a better one. Because otherwise if you're a fan of the series then the story isn't for you.    … Expand

Naughty Dog has made back to back great games with the Uncharted FranchiseThis is absolutely one of the worst direction for the story that they have gone. Complete disconnect from the original story and what made that game good. The decision making and the choices made at Naughty Dog has gone so downhill in this game that it almost doesn't feel like it was real, but unfortunately it is. Naughty Dog has made back to back great games with the Uncharted Franchise and the Jak and Daxter franchise. The first time they dropped the Last Of Us was a great addition to their story telling, character introduction that were relatable, caring, having there ups and downs. They were likable, intelligent and unpredictable. Here, in The last of Us Part 2 all of that just gets thrown out the way and instead they focus on a message they completely draws the game away from what it was mean't to be; A journey between two characters facing challenges, meeting new people and faced with new problems in a interesting world of the infected that has taken over the world and mutations that are terrifying and unique. In addition to that, the gameplay is more or less the same as the first game except with revamped animations that flow better and new way to brutalize your opponents, but this can only bring the game so far. You have over 10+ hours of this game and it's the same thing that consists over and over only with a different layout. So you'll get good enjoyment after 3 hours but after the remaining 7+ hours you have to sit there and chore yourself over getting through the game. In conclusion this game is NOT a MUST PLAY. It is far from that. A MUST play is a game like God of War, Uncharted, and or Horizon Zero Dawn, i would literally RATHER PLAY A XBOX TITLE then play this game and that's coming from a 15 year PlayStation user.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game had SO much potential to be great but utterly ruined by a forced SJW agenda and stupid writing made by stupid people. The deaths feel subtle and hold no weight. The game expects you to sympathize and literally play half of the game with the killer of everyone's favorite protagonist in the story, Joel. Joel's murderer Abby had the potential to be another great character but instead of making the character a badass iconic villain that would propel this game to the next level it decides to stick with it's stupid forced agenda and make the character boring, one dimensional, and gives you not one reason to give a damn about her (but they still expect you to play half the game with her). The ending leaves you feeling hollow and made pretty much everything you have been doing all game pointless. I would stray away from this game if you want to play a game for actual enjoyment because this game will leave you confused, frusturtated, and utterly bored.… Expand

I also don’t have strong feelings about gay people and wouldn’t minus points for a character being gay so I, avoided the majority of the spoilers, kept my pre order and hoped for the best. It is annoying how the social justice scenes feel gratuitous and not linked to any plot or character development. They’re just included to virtue signal. However, that’s not my major issue. The major issue is that the first game felt like a zombie apocalypse... it was barren, it was moody, it brooded. After playing the first game that feeling stuck with me for days. The characters you came across felt human, they left their mark on you and you moved on. Joel was a grieving father on the brink of a breakdown, the complexity of his character - desperation and grief with hope and tenderness for Ellie - was so well written.

    I’m about 5 hours into part 2 and it feels like a high school melodrama. The characters gossip and chatter constantly. The social justice scenes serve no plot points. It’s bubbly like a JRPG. Don’t get me wrong I’ve enjoyed Final Fantasy games in the past but that’s not why I’m here. I’m here to go back into that world I saw in the first game. I’m left disappointed.

    Naughty Dog have used up all of my “benefit of the doubt” now. I will not be pre ordering anything again.

    It’s actually quite sad, I wanted this game to be made for so long... and this is what we get... :-(    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The franchise, as much as it is about the gameplay aswell it's mainly about the captivating story between Ellie and Joel. When you kill Joel, and make Ellie literally insane, you ruined the reason everybody loved that game. Sure, the gameplay is pretty good, but for me it was all about that amazing story from the first one. Not to mention Abby, because who the **** cares about her anyway? I would've been fine with them killing joel if they did it in a more heroic way, a more deserving death for such a great character. Only good parts of the story are Ellie's and the flashbacks which aren't related to Abby.

    Such a shame that a game like this was destroyed.

Es una lastima que ll políticamente correcto se haya cargado uno de los juegos más inmersivos y espectaculares de la pasada generación, pero era de esperarse. Neil es judío, y va a hacer todo lo posible para meter con calzador todas las ideologías intrínsecas a su raza y mostradas ante los goyim para promover la antinatalidad y la consecuente desaparición del hombre blanco. El primer juego fue bueno, pero se empezaba a notar en ciertos aspectos la mano del judío metiendo negros dónde no debía haberlos y haciendo a Ellie definitivamente lesbiana en su expansión. Pues en esta secuela todo va más allá. Ellie es abiertamente lesbiana (algo que debería ser ilógico en una distopía postapocaliptica pues dicha tendencia es incompatible con la reproducción humana), y por supuesto emparejada con una mujer perteneciente a una raza sospechosa. Joel que es el símbolo que representaba al hombre blanco heterosexual MUERE a manos de un hombre transexual, el cual le rompe la cabeza con un palo de golf. Este juego es un espectáculo de pornografía homosexual e interracial y una oda a la naturaleza más baja del ser humano, todo siendo muy bien orquestado por un judío. Los gráficos son buenos, pero la historia es repugnante y todos los personajes caen mal. No lo recomiendo.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an insult to the masterpiece that is the first game. The idea of Joel dying was something I figured would happen in the sequel since it is necessary to close his character arc imo. However, Naughtydog executed it very very poorly. The ending is very anticlimactic and makes no sense and straight up pisses on the first game. The brilliant people that worked on this game such as Troy Baker, Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey did not deserve their characters to be treated this poorly. The gameplay, graphics and acting are even better than in the first game, but the story is written by an analphabetic sloth called Neil Druckman who should never be allowed to write another work of fiction ever again. Druckman should go straight back to writing academy together with Dave and Dan from Game of Thrones.

    TLDR: Gamplay 10/10. Graphics 10/10. Acting 10/10. Writing -30/10.

    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...
