    I’m not sure why I see so many bad reviews. This game was awesome start to finish. Great writing, great gameplay and thought it really added to the lore of the first game. What happened to Joel didn’t bother me. The flashbacks were a nice touch. Really the game was the perfect sequel and couldn’t ask for anything more.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While the game's accessibility is among the best out there, providing a gateway for those less skilled and a challenge to those looking for a thrill, as well as looking and sounding phenomenal in terms of graphics, sound design, music and voice acting, the story felt shallow and pointless the whole way through, the gameplay loop can become repetitive, and with an unlikable character you're forced to play as for half the game getting the win in the end, I never at any point felt satisfied with how the story played out. I nearly cried at some scenes, genuinely smiled at others, but after leaving, I left with no real impact from the game's messages and tone, mostly since it seems like a game that came out ten years too late with its "revenge and violence are never the answer" themes. If you wanted me to feel bad for killing the people trying to kill me, the right decision is to let me understand them through the eyes of the person they've hurt most, Ellie, and let me decide their fates.

    What we have instead is a game that, at every turn, tells you that people must die to progress the story, then shifts focus in a shallow attempt at making you feel guilty for playing the game. Niel Druckman mentioned that this game wasn't meant to be fun. And truthfully, that is exactly true for this game, he hit the nail on the head. In that regard, he has my respect. But I am of the camp of people who firmly believe that players should have some input or incentive to play the game. If you do not make the game fun, people will stop playing. People will quit halfway through, and the story you've created would no longer matter, simply because there were more gripping stories out there, or more engaging games.

    If you wanted to create a movie, then create a movie. But it isn't one I would want to watch. I'm a more grown person now, one who can appreciate many things about a game. But if I cannot have any fun in the supposed magnum opus, the greatest masterpiece of all time, then maybe it doesn't deserve to be called a masterpiece after all. It's flawed in story, gameplay, and even emotion. Because at the end of the day, I left it feeling completely thoughtless. It felt like a mediocre fanfiction. I can appreciate the game for what it's done on a standpoint of presentation and accessibility. But nothing beyond that.

    In summary, The Last of Us 2 is a visual and auditory spectacle, but that's about all you're getting; spectacle. With how much blood is shed and guts are spilled, it's baffling how little this game shocked me with any plot beats or twists, or even in terms of its visual style. Truthfully, in a decade or so, this game's graphical achievements will be trumped by something else. And when that happens, it will fade into nothing but a memory for me.

    This is a narrative focused game, if the story doesn't work, the game doesn't work. There are several weird decisions, a lot of characters that don't act as they would have acted on the first game, some lies in the trailers (in 2018 Neil Druckmann stated only Ellie was a playable character, this is not true, one trailer shows Joel telling Ellie that ge wasn't going to let her go throught that alone, it's not in here), also they changed a character from being africanamerican in the first game to white in the second one (this feels weird considering all the efforts made searching for inclusion and diversity)...

    After the 12-15 hour mark I just wanted the game to finish, which is quite bad since that's like half way through...

    At several moments the game comes off as trying to be disruptive just for the sake of doing it

    This doesn't feel like a proper sequel to me

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay mechanics and graphics might be stunning, but it is nothing new here, that game from the 2018 does not do better.

    The details that everyone speak of, they are in Red Dead Redemption 2. Steaming horses, the sweat marks, living natural enviroment where animals (and there are many) hunt eachother, or fight, guns, clothes and character itself gets dirty, there are minigames and even some sort of fighting system alongside very natural animations etc. etc. there is so many things that makes this game whole, that i could write a solid book about what is going on there.

    So in terms of gameplay, and details The last of Us 2 is nothing special, and yet, they have courage to completely destroy a story, with a very cheap shocking value, and the ending... oh boy...

    A very decisive game, clearly. The story takes risks, and doesn't play it safe. The best literary work does the same. No one wins a Man Booker Prize for writing what was expected or safe.

    Expectation is a dangerous thing...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As you guys might be able to check my profile I only write reviews when I feel strongly about a game, and in this case I do.

    I was anticipating this game greatly, however as trailers came out and later videos discussed the relationship of Cckman and sarkasien(however it is spelled) and their agenda made me wary. Then the spoilers came, then the lockings and bannings, eventually the game is out and we all see that the leaks were true. The disgusting nature of the writing and story is something that most people find repulsive, as the current 20000 positive to 40000 negative reviews show as well.(At the time of my writing, it took this **** website nearly 2 months ALLOWING me to post a negative review on this crap)

    Since the shills are out in numbers, and are giving 10s it is only fair that this game gets 0s too in response. My actual score would be about 3, it is an extremely boring and tedious game with hardly any action and way too much downtime. I wouldn't recommend it. It simply pales in comparison to the first game, and compared to that it is indeed a 3 at best. Cckman got everyone fired, Naughty Dog is not what it was in the ps3 era. And it will only get worse as time goes by and we enter the ps5 era.

    Get the heck out of here with your SJW(communist) agenda, cultural revolution and eventual genocide.

    I got the game used from a friend that got it early, if you must get it, buy it used if you care for the future of gaming!!!! Don't give any corporation money for this brainwashing bs.

    As a final note: professional reviewers have been a joke for years, and that is only getting worse as well.

    Great technical achievement. Worst story ever, period. They made this game without purpose. All this game had to do was to give us a sequel. The search for a solution, the vaccine, or even Joel seeking for redemption, whatsoever. Not even hard to do.

    It’s an amazing game — the praise it gets is well deserved. TLOU2 sends you on an emotional rollercoaster, offering a mature story about revenge and also forgiveness. The game mechanics are superb, the attention to details is impressive and in typical Naughty Dog tradition. For me this is a serious contender for the GOTY 2020 (at least until Cyperpunk 2077 is being released in November

    I am personally not a fan of Naughty Dog's style when it comes to their action titles, but they do however present beautiful environments, believable worlds, and some likeable characters. The Last of Us 2 fails to present anything positive; dull gameplay, an uninteresting story, and unlikable characters, all of which make for a truly disappointing experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They havn't improved the gameplay over the years between the games, not only that but the story is absolutely **** They took everything of the first game and shat on it. Joel being wary of strangers and even ELLIE having this treatment for a while?

    Nope Joel just goes in a place with his brother, announces that he is Joel, where Abby, just clubs him to death with a golf club while Ellie was busy getting high and scissor with her GF. You might think it'll get betterbut it doesn't. Eventually you play as Abby and get in some cringeworthy sex scene where she takes it up the ass dry.

    Then you might think, the ending couldn't be as bad as the leaks made it out to be right? It's just as bad. Ellie, killing hundreds to get to Abby, finds her on a cross, frees her, and while they're about to go their separate ways. Ellie decides "Nah I can't let you go" And thus begins the final "boss" you slash at Abby a bunch until she hits the knife away, then punch her a bunch start drowning her, her two fingers bit off. And then when Ellie has her. She could get her revenge right then and there, just holds her a few more seconds underwater? She gets a vision of Joel and suddenly decides that revenge is bad and lets Abby leave. It's really just a kick in the gut to anyone who even remotely liked the first game.

Apparently, there's a lot of people who hate on this game because the main characters aren't straight, white and male. Well I hate to break it to them, but there's all types of people in this world and it was refreshing to not only play two female leads, but one who was homosexual and one who possessed an atypical body type. The story goes deep into the vicious cycle of revenge and shows that in a broken world, you're going to have broken people. In my opinion, 75%+ of video game stories are not captivating, but this one was. I wanted to keep playing because the gameplay was fun as well as to see what happens next. Expand

The only real complaint I have with the game is that the ending left a little to be desired after the last scene. The beginning makes sense, seeing through the eyes of the antagonist makes you feel for them and see their point of view. Don't trust these sheep who can't come up with their own thoughts in a game and are hating because some website told them to, or because there's a "political agenda" there's not. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think there are four main problems most review bombers have: 1. You‘re playing a gay character and her sexuality is displayed in the game. „Politics are being shoved down their throats“. Gay people exist... and they make out. Get over it.

    2. They can‘t handle Joels death. The game makes you feel uncormfortable at times. 3. You have to play as Abby, who is not „hot“ and more tanked than 80% of the male players... aaaand killed Joel.

    4. Lev is a trans person, although i don‘t think a lot of the 0 score reviewers have played long enough to get to know Lev.

    I had a blast. I had to think of it for days after I finished it and now I‘m starting New Game +. I didn‘t feel comfortable or happy about some plot points as well, but that’s the point. TLOU2 makes you question your characters choices and turns a simple revenge plot into a complex and dark character study. What I also read a lot: It has good graphics, but...

    It doesn‘t have just „good graphics“... The world they have built is absolutely incredible. So much detail and scope. Amazing physics and stellar acting that transfers to the virtual characters so vividly. These are people, not videogame characters. I don‘t know what ND does different about their characters compared to other games, but they just pop. Each and every side character has imperfections and personality, it‘s just amazing.

    The only downside to me is the gameplay. Don‘t get me wrong, it all works fine and it’s fun to play, but I don‘t like the clear pacing of setpieces. You are always „told“ what situation you are running into. I don‘t want to know if I‘m safe when exploring or if clickers are in the area. It‘s an unpredictable and brutal world, so please don‘t take the tension out of it by letting me know what type of enemy will be next.

    I was looking forward to this game for the longest time! But the story took a completely different route to what i think anyone would expect. Unfortunately I found the game quite dull to play, even a chore at times. Aside from that the graphics are amazing, the game controls pretty good, but this wasnt enough to save it from being a bit disappointing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am shocked by all the angry reviewers giving this game a 0/10. I personally thought that this game was a masterpiece. The graphics were the best that I’ve ever experienced on a console. The smallest details of the scenery were amazing. The weather, sound, scenery and atmosphere were fantastic. And there were scenes that made you jump out of your seat. I thought that the game was so great that I didn’t want the game to end I wanted to play the story forever. I for one liked the story because it showed revenge from both sides. I also showed how people who only care about revenge Ruin the lives of so many others. At the end, Ellie has a baby with Dina and a perfect house/life and a nice life but she gives it all up for revenge. When she returns to her house it is empty, just like her. I also avoided all spoilers so Joel’s death was a shocker to me. It made me think of Ned Starks death on Game of Thrones. Then to later have Ellie be a boss for Abby was mind blowing. Then by the end of the game I didn’t want to kill Abby because I understood her pain as well. In my book Naughty Dog made another masterpiece and they continue to be hands down my favorite video game developer. I can’t wait to play their next game. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh, boy! Where do I start?

    This game is a travesty. An abomination. The game has no story if you're honest about it. Just a ridiculous plot strung along to shove unlikeable characters down your throat. Story and its masterfully paced telling was what made the first game the magic that it was!

    Joel dies in the very beginning of the game and he did not die sacrificing himself but died because of, completely unlike his character, trusting a bunch of guys and giving his identity up. To put this into perspective, Joel survived 30 years in the post-infection world where nobody can be trusted easily. If you remember the scene from TLOU1 where he sniffs out an ambush while driving and when Ellie asks him how he knew, he told her he knew because "he has been on both sides." Neither Joel nor Tommy were idiots and just tell a bunch of strangers who they really are! Sigh.

    Ellie is dead (emotionally and metaphorically). Yup, the character you loved from the first game who gave hope in the bleak setting is gone. I had seen most of the leaks as they were unavoidable but what I had apparently missed and lead to a MASSIVE disappointment for me was the fact that YOU DON'T EVEN GET TO KILL ABBY! Yeah, that's right. Because of some "revenge bad" logic which Ellie arrives at after killing hundreds of disposable people throughout the game. Wow, that's some enlightenment alright!

    You love Joel and you don't even get to avenge his death. The morons who came up with this, ahem, "story" need to be fired and banned from ever producing any story driven media ever.

The story seems to take a very strange turn and having completed it I am still scratching my head to understand what was the the point of the storyline for the last half of the game, It's almost like they ran out of ideas and just padded it out. Don't get me wrong it's still a great game, I suppose the anticipation and hype may have set my expectation levels too high Expand

    TLDR: trash game, don’t buy.

    Only pro - graphics/sound were well-done. But gameplay feels like they are setting up for another uncharted trigger-happy nonsense. In the best case, it’s an awkward failure to show that violence breeds violence and we are all human (just in case you didn’t know that) In all other cases, this game is a steaming turd of bad story telling. Why they choose this

    In all other cases, this game is a steaming turd of bad story telling. Why they choose this franchise and these characters to attempt this, I will never know... but it is by far the worst sequel ever made. 94 critic rating is a joke. 50 at best for technical aspects.

    In the end, my time was rudely wasted. I’m not buying any ND games for a long time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is based on a petty and childish story about "rEvEnGE" that doesn't even go all the way with it.. In a world where society doesn't exist and survival is the one and only concern, the creators decided to lecture us about how "hate brings hate" as well as introducing main characters that have no purpose other than to represent an agenda. Characters from the first Last of Us don't act like they used too and many of them die for the sake of shock value. This game is a spit in the face to all TLOU fans and Neil made sure that we get the message when his "projection" character (Manny) spits on Joel during his last moments.

    Story is way different than the first, it made you think so hard what will happen next, and it gets more complex due to the amount of important characters in this game. The story may be divisive especially about the controversy regarding death on a few characters. BUT, if you judge it objectively and stop thinking selfishly that how the story continue SHOULD be the same as how you want it to be, i'm pretty sure you will like it.

    A lot of creative environment puzzles (in fact, there's a lot of em), can't believe i read a review and he/she said that the puzzles are gone and he/she has played the game. dude, stop review bombing.

    Graphics is amazing, it's the most beautiful game this generation imo. Frame rate is really stable (locked 30) and the animation is godly.

    It's okay if you hate LGBT but please don't let it divert your opinions on the game. Just stop.

    Gameplay is SO MUCH FUN if you really like the feeling of being hunted, or hard stealth game. It's way harder to stealth just because of the introduction of dogs and how big the areas are with much more smarter AI and better vision for the enemies. The human enemies are diverse as well!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me preface this review by stating that The Last of Us Part 2 (TLOU2) was a game I was looking forward to for a very long time. I'm a big fan of the original and I bought the game when it was released even though | did not own PS3, I had to borrow it from a friend. I bought its remastered version years later with my PS4pro and I enjoyed it as much as for the first time.

    TLDR summary: The Last of Us part 2 is well realized game that improved on many aspects of its predecessor that were considered low point of the game back in 2013. Visuals, sound and music are absolutely top notch and can be considered among best of this generation. Its story is and will for a while be considered controversial. I consider TLOU2 plot and character arcs its weakest link, which is stark contrast to the original, which was generally recognized for its gripping story and interesting and likeable characters.

    TLOU2 is a competent game that improved upon aspects of its predecessor that were considered by many its weakest points-combat, stealth and AI. All of these aspects are significantly improved in TLOU2. This is important to understand as the sequel is focusing more on combat than the original. Improved combat and AI makes the combat more challenging but more importantly fun. I enjoyed combat in TLOU2 while I considered it necessary evil in the original. I still prefer to use stealthy approach to combat but this is more due to my lack of skill than game not giving me tools to overcome those challenges.

    Visuals -- simply stunning and represent a great farewell to PS4 era. The original was a swan song for PS3 and TLOU2 will be among few other games to be considered technical masterpiece of PS4 generation. I had encountered very few issues, mostly minor ones related to low resolution textures in some places or slow texture loading/pops from time to time. There is very few loading screens, which is all the more impressive when considering how visually impressive the game is.

    Sound and music -- probably the most outstanding part of TLOU2 for me that absolutely enthralled me from start to finish. Music is absolutely great and I hope there will soon be official soundtrack for TLOU2. Sound is very competent, atmospheric and well realized. Combat sound especially are dramatic and match the intensity of the gameplay.

    Exploration -- Naughty Dog made the game large and even dabbled into semi-open world in certain parts of the game. They also introduced player ability to jump but I honestly did not feel it was really crucial in exploration. I enjoyed scavenging for various materials hidden around maps even if I was constantly full on most resources. I played the game on moderate difficulty where crafting materials and ammo are reasonably plentiful. My biggest gripe was low reserves of materials or craftable items that main character could hold in inventory. It is still important to scavenge even if you are full on materials because you will find pills and weapon parts to upgrade your character or weapons respectively.

    Game pacing and length -- I found the game well paced with frantic sections followed or preceded by calm periods that gave you chance to breath out, lick your wounds and prepare for another section. The structure of the game is rather predictable--large action set piece is followed by scavenging and exploration or story-telling bit. There are few areas where this structure is altered but none of these are too long or otherwise detracting from your enjoyment. I feel the game was stretched a bit, especially near the end there were few sections I struggle to justify their existence in retrospect.

    Story -- ***SPOILERS AHEAD***

    This is a part where I was disappointed by TLOU2. Not because the story was bad but because Naughty Dog decided to make huge leap from original game and refocus it it on Ellie and other characters. The disappointment stems from my love of the original while the sequel offers unexpected story continuation (maybe progression is better term as there is not much continuation), undertones and resolution.
    The story will take you to unexpected places and might feel disappointing or outright outrageous if you are fan of the original. The game will drag you along its unforgiving story often feeling like an unwanted passenger at times. It took me almost till 3/5 of the game to come to terms with all its characters and start enjoying them.
    Conclusion of the game is very open-ended and vague. It does not provide satisfactory closure and I long for more while knowing there is no story DLC in works and if another sequel ever get made it will be years before it comes out.

    Excellent music and sound design that provide a great immersion into this horrible world.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ojo por ojo, y el mensaje escondido en un videojuego
    [ESTA REVIEW CONTIENE SPOILERS]

    The Last of Us vuelve luego de un final cerrado. El primer título de la exitosa serie de Naughty Dog había dejado a los fans encantados. Pese a no ser de los mejores juegos, la historia había conmovido a más de uno. Y aquí nos encontramos con su segunda entrega, ¿tiene algo que contar? Realmente no. Y lo que intenta contar, lo hace de manera incorrecta.

    Recordemos que el primer juego ya tiene más de 7 años y no ha envejecido del todo bien. Sus mecánicas para la época eran decentes sí, pero no más que eso. La ambientación e historia siempre han sido la única real excusa para siquiera pensar en jugar The Last of Us. Y esta segunda entrega entrega aún menos que la primera. Es, sin lugar a duda, la peor secuela en la historia de los videojuegos, aún superando al Duke Nukem Forever.

    Vamos a hacerlo corto, porque reviews del juego hay por muchas partes. Peor no hay una verdadera opinión honesta.

    El juego no merece, ni por casualidad, una nota de 8, 9 o incluso 10. Tiene muchísimas fallas para siquiera acercarse a eso. Pero menos tiene de 0, 1 y 2. Porque hay cosas que hace muy, muy bien. Y por eso se merece crédito. Para bien o para mala, aquellas cosas que hacen muy bien se ven completamente opacadas por lo terriblemente malos que resultan el resto de los aspectos.

    Esta continuación que ocurre 5 años después del juego original aporta absolutamente nada a la historia, hasta tal punto que si uno pudiese borrarse el recuerdo de lo que pasa en esta segunda entrega, estaría al día con el universo de Ellie y Joel.

    Lo único bueno del juego es la ambientación. Y con esto me refiero a banda sonora y gráficos. De lo mejor que van a ver los usuarios de PlayStation hasta la próxima generación, muy a la par de lo visto en Red Dead Redemption 2. Con respecto a la banda sonora, la ubicamos en algo "bueno" y hasta ahí.

    Y acá viene lo malo: la historia, la jugabilidad, la innovación, el mensaje y el juego en sí.

    Empecemos por detallar lo más básico que es innovación y jugabilidad. Con respecto al primer título, no vemos mejora algo. Para los tiempos que correntener que lidiar con la jugabilidad de esta segunda entrega es similar a un juego del 2015. Se siente viejo y lento. Demasiado violento. Intenta demostrar que "detrás de cada personaje hay una persona con una historia atrás que contar" y otro montón de cosas extra. Por supuesto que esto es mentira. Cada personaje no es único además del nombre que lo caracteriza. Cuando mueren, su existencia se desvanece por completo. Nunca más se hace mención de esos personajes, aún de los secundarios. Como mucho aparecen unas cinco veces en todo el juego y luego aparece Thanos, chasquea los dedos y las memorias de todos los aún presentes se deforman.

    Las escenas de sexo están de más. Simplemente innecesarias. Y las escenas de drogas, ¿qué sentido tienen? Es todo para hacer al juego un poco más "cool" de lo que no es.

    La historia sucede en un orden bastante interesante, digo esto porque parece que se organizó a último momento. Tiene toda la pinta que al atrasar el juego hasta junio de 2020, luego de múltiples retrasos y una larga espera, juntaron todo lo que tenían en una presentación de Movie Maker y se olvidaron de reorganizar la historia. ¿Por qué todo pasa en un orden tan poco único? Ya que menciono el orden, es importante destacar la tan penosa y descarada muerte de Joel. El personaje principal y más carismático de la primer entrega termina siendo aniquilado de la manera más humillante posible y durante las primeras horas de juego. No hay ningún tipo de cariño o recuerdo. O bueno, sí que lo hay... presente en forma de "flashbacks" a través de la secuencia de Ellie. No hay desarrollo alguno de los personajes, son todos planos.

    Por último, el mensaje que intenta dar "ojo por ojo, diente por diente y el mundo se quedará ciego" junto con "la venganza es mala". Es realmente lamentable. En ningún mundo Ellie dejaría, tras haber perdido absolutamente todo, vivir a Abby. Simplemente no hay mundo parelelo para permitir que esto pase. Recorrer todo un mundo, dejarlo todo atrás, abandonar a su hijatro y prometida, perder a Joel, todo por "sed de venganza". Venganza que no es cobrada. Y destacar que ella pierde dos dedos en el intento.

    The Last of Us: Part II hace todo mal y es por eso que se merece un 4.0.

Es un juego muy redondo que te hace pensar en el transfondo del estado de Ánimo de los personajes, hubieron cosas forzadas, pero el hecho de que critiquen un final, que según luego de una matanza no logras tu cometido, se me hace una tontería, ya que la matanza es subjetiva, puedes no matar a casi nadie y las únicas muertes "Canon" son de 4 personas, las cuales a las últimas dos, Mel y Owen, se nota como afecta mentalmente a la persona de Ellie. El juego como tal me parece sublime, flojea un poco, pero no se le puede pedir un juego perfecto, porque no existe.

    I'm not sure why some people are rating it so low. It's another masterpiece, the team at Naughty Dog have yet again blown away my expectations. This is phenomenal sequel to the first! I wouldn't change a thing!

    Quick initial review, only 4 hours in, will do full review after completion. Basically if u like part 1, u will like part 2, gameplay wise at least!
    Looks gorgeous, sounds astounding and runs well.
    A couple of things happened earlier than i expected, i have a feeling theres more of that to come. But so far loving the gameplay, improved combat alot.

    The whole game just shows how self indulgent Naughty Dog is right now. As a die hard PS and ND fan, I am really disappointed.

    Ich kann diese Kritikpunkte nicht nachvollziehen. 2/3 der Userwertungen hier stammen eh von Trollen ab, weswegen man die Nullerwertungen auch gerne wieder rauslöschen kann.

    Brilliant game with good story telling that makes you sit at the edge of you seat the whole way through. The gameplay is really fun with much improved crafting system, new skill trees to upgrade from (10 total), and much improved stealth mechanics, having the prone.

    Yapp yapp yapp, haters is gonna hate, I think there was a reason for every plot decision. They are just explained later in

    Yapp yapp yapp, haters is gonna hate, I think there was a reason for every plot decision. They are just explained later in the game is forms of flashbacks. Which leaves you often with a "what? why?", but it gets explained later in a cool way.

    Horrible writing but good gameplay, I give it a 0 because I don't play for the gameplay I played this for the story and it's just not interesting at all

    Ignore all the hate. This game has one of the best pieces of narrative and character driven story telling that I’ve ever experienced in a video game.

    The characters are so fleshed out and multi-dimensional. This paired with their incredible mocap performances and voices makes them feel so genuine, it really brings the game to life. You actually care for these characters and their brutal

    Notice how with the low score user reviews, most of them are posted on the day the game came out (impossible to finish and have an opinion on the story on the day of release) And a lot of them say stupid crap like “the multiplayer was okay” even though.. it doesn’t have multiplayer. Overall there’s a lot of entitled fans of the game who had a very specific perception of what the sequel should be - a boring, cliche revenge tale. But it’s not their story to tell.

    Theres nothing i can say that has not already been said. I can not get over the pacing and bad writing/character development.

    After beating the game all i can say is save your money. The story is a mess and the plot is a jumbled mess. If this was just a story on abby it would be better, barley though.

    Everything in this game is over the top of the best possible game except Story...
    Funny thing is Niel Drukman (Writer and Director) himself is responsible for this mess and the reason this phenomenal masterpiece wont sell like skyrocket!
    Your non sense policy and ... Destroyed this game.
    I hope your happy.

    Big dissapointment, bad , not thought out story ruins everything, as this game without story worth nothing, Usage of cheap tricks to shock people instead of good writing , ruined established characters in pursuit to bring new lgbt characters, which they forgot to develop good enough, so they became very flat and uninteresting.

    After beating the game, I feel sorry for all the staff for programming and artworks.

    The narrative destroys the game and all the hard work from the game makers and the expectations from fans in the last 7 years.

    I will never buy a single Naughty dog game as long as Neil is still there.

    The marks are only for the graphics, gameplay and my previous love to TLOU.

    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]
