    Audio was great, and the graphics were stellar, but man was the story and gameplay underwhelming and weak. Huge downgrade from the first game.

    This game looks incredible, obviously, but that doesn't matter to me very much, nice graphics are enjoyable but don't really add much else than awe value.
    Gameplay is alright, though it does get tedious as the game progresses. Of course, the thing everyone cares about in a Last of Us sequel is the story. It's the only reason everyone fondly remembers the original.
    Where to start? Perhaps the crux of the problem is the character development, or lack thereof. Joel in particular is embarrassingly bad. Gone is the rugged and experienced survivor of Part 1, replaced by a trusting idiot. A man who survived in the apocalypse for decades decides to tell an entire group of armed strangers his name right after he learns he is being hunted. I would say more, but there isn't much else, as Joel dies a mere two hours into the game.
    His death is meaningless, rushed, and disrespectful to the character and the fans. To make such a beloved character die like a dog by a character introduced just moments ago is absurd. To make his death have no impact other than a lazy writing plot device to make Ellie hunt down Abby is insulting. To make him die this way so early in the game doesn't even give the player time to grieve for this icon of gaming.
    What makes the whole thing worse are the flashbacks with Joel sprinkled throughout the game, some of the only well-written segments of the whole thing. However, a dampener on the experience is the slight inconvenience that Joel is dead, and none of these things matter.
    Why couldn't these experiences have been the main game? Why did they go for such an overused revenge story?
    And at the end, to cap off the horrible writing, Ellie decides to basically abandon her loved ones to pursue Abby. After fighting and slaughtering hundreds, after everything Ellie has done, and as Ellie has the opportunity to kill Abby at last...she has a flashback of Joel playing the guitar, which prompts Ellie to let Abby go.
    This makes no sense. Joel was not a pacifistic person, far from it. Were the writers going for the "He wouldn't be happy with this" approach? What Joel wouldn't be happy with already happened. He wouldn't have wanted Ellie to abandon Dina, which she did, and he probably wouldn't have wanted Ellie to kill hundreds in the pursuit of revenge, which she also already did, but he would have no such qualms about killing Abby herself. Why would you abandon your goal after going so far?
    Wouldn't a flashback of Joel make Ellie more angry and make her want to kill Joel's murderer more? In what world does it sedate her anger?
    As Abby rides away, Ellie makes it back to the hideout that she and her loved ones had made their base to find it abandoned with no indication of where they went. Ellie tries to play the guitar left behind but finds herself unable to do so due to two of her fingers bitten off by Abby. The game ends, with Ellie left without her lover, without her friends, without her father figure, Joel, unable to even play the guitar, which Joel taught her to play, without anywhere to go, and without her revenge that the whole game was leading up too, meaning a large portion of the game was simply a waste of time.
    You could say it was all for nothing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Guys, let's be honest

    story is **** (not only because of Joel's death), motivation of Abby is clear and understandable, but the way how it was described -- is ****ty.

    what I think will be better for the story and it will make people less complain about this game

    Act 1: you play as Ellie for some time
    Act 2: you play for Abby for some time (and explaining why her dad was so important in more that 10 seconds of screen time)
    Act 3: Ellie figured out that Joel saved her and she's upset with that
    Act 4: Abby's flashbacks with father's death
    Act 5: Joel's death, but he should die like a hero, and not like idiot, who trusted random **** in a middle of nowhere.
    Following Acts: Ellie is trying to find Abby, Abby is running away
    Last Act: their fight, and player has options -- kill her and continue circle of revenge or no

    that's what players, who waited 7 years deserves.

    Gameplay itself is not that bad, it's not revolution, but it's cool.
    There is not so much LGBTQ+ propaganda, and that's okay, nobody is complaining about that.
    Abby could be more pretty, who wants to look on Schwarzenegger with vagina.

    so in general, it's 1/10 or 2/10
    and that's only because I respect developers in Naughty Dog, because I'm developer too
    and I **** hate people who wrote the script.

    This game is incredibly disappointing. The plot is a basic revenge story that doesn't make any sense. Characters are thrown away for no reason, while the new ones are poorly developed. The violence is gratuitous and major plotholes are never addressed. I still recommend the first game (which is a masterpiece), but I can't recommend this one. It totally disrespects the source material.

    responsible for not giving the world a vaccine to a virus that’s constantly killing people? Joel killed. Ellie killed. It’s violence and revenge and flaws, and that’s the world they live in. That’s human nature. There was no happy ending to begin with. Did I like it? Did I enjoy it? No, I didn’t. Do I respect the hell out of this game? I sincerely do, and if you yourself can’t even see how well of a mature product this is, then it’s probably just your inability to look over the fact that you’re not getting what you want. Giving this an 0 is exactly how a child would react when reality hits them in the face. Give it another try for your own sakes and stop basing your opinions on what some tweet or comment on social media says about this game. Just play it and go against your prejudices.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is a hodgepodge of PC messaging, politically framed storytelling (of the worse possible kind). It feels like every cutscene and design choice are delivered as a thinly veiled preachy message about acceptance and inclusion of diversity. While striving for acceptance and diversity is an honourable effort in most cases, entertainment should be just that, entertainment. If you want a really deep, depressing interactive TED talk about prejudice against trans and gay people this game might be for you. If however you simply wish to shoot down mushroom zombies in an apocalyptic environment then get ready to (mostly) sit through hours and hours of cheap teenage angsty drama, badly written dialogue, characters that are greyer than the english sky in September and an overall appalling story. This game only gets 2 points from me because of the tremendous appreciation I have for the designers, artists, and developers who created this visually stunning masterpiece (it would be 0 otherwise). Unfortunately no matter how pretty the visuals nothing can save this game from its' horrendous characters, its' horribly toxic and fan alienating storyline and its' lack of innovation when it comes to mechanics. I'm just glad i got to play it from a friend who was unlucky enough to have pre-ordered. I was also present when he played it (he was unaware of the leaks unlike me) and his genuine reaction when Joel died was one of anger, repulsion, frustration and disgust, he stopped the game and hasn't played since. While it tries to be stunning and brave and shock audiences this game is simply committing fanbase suicide. and for ND's sake I hope they turn the page on this fiasco because I do still love the studio and the hard working people who make it all real.

    I loved the original Last of Us because of the story and connection I had with the characters. I despise the Last of Us 2 story and have no connection to the characters. Four stars because the game is beautiful, compliment to the developers on delivering. Too bad the story is just god awful with laughable plot holes.

People who complain about the most minor of issues that make it seem like that’s what makes or breaks a game. I come from the days of playing sega genesis and Super Nintendo, now seeing a game like this? Absolutely blown away. Naughty Dog - I avoided all spoilers so I didn’t know what happened going into this. Gut wrenching thus far from the 3 hours I’ve played. Thanks for pushing the limits on this and not making anyone feel “too comfortable.” I waited 7 years for this game and it’s felt worth the wait. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not as great as prequel, however...

    The Last of Us 2 is in many ways like the first one. Great graphics, great acting, and in my opinion, great gameplay. However, where the game falls short compared to the first game, is its story and characters. (Spoiler alert)

    This review will be put in chapters, where I can focus on the pros and cons of said areas of the game.

    GRAPHICS:
    ---
    The graphics, just like the last game, has changed the standard for all other games in this era. Stunning details are seen everywhere, through the character models, nature, buildings, etc. The graphics are part of why I have given the game such a high rating, as there was never a place in the game that wasn't polished.

    ACTING AND CHARACTERS:
    ---
    An important part of the story is the acting from the actors who played the different characters. Although I personally didn't find some of the new characters interesting, the returning characters did an amazing job. I especially loved Joel and Tommy. Although Joel didn't see as much action in the last game, which I will also mention later on, I absolutely loved the portrayal of Joel which Troy Baker delivered. Tommy, a character which we sadly didn't see so much of in this game, was in my opinion perfectly acted out. Ellie, the protagonist of the story, saw a different route than the last game. Although I enjoyed her portrayal, I certainly miss some of the Ellie we saw in the first game.

    STORY:
    ---
    My main problem with The Last of Us 2 is the story. Overall, the story lacked what the first game had, and the early death of Joel ruined what I thought could have been something better. Although I personally understand the death of Joel as the main plotline in the story, his death should have happened sooner, if not at all. There could easily have been other ways to create the revenge story which this game focuses on. The game does have some gold pieces scattered around though; The flashback to Ellie and Joel in the dinosaur museum was in my opinion the best part of the story. It almost brought a tear to my eye to see the dad-daughter relationship which we saw in the first game.

    GAMEPLAY:
    ---
    The gameplay in The Last of Us 2 is much like the first game, just better. The good things have been kept, and the bad has been fixed or partly removed. There is not much to say here, I did enjoy the gameplay. I understand that this is very mixed between people, but I very much like the style of gameplay that the Last of Us 2 brings to the table.

    CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:
    ---

    The Last of Us 2 is a great game. Not close to perfect, but it was great. I remember the leaks on how the game would be a huge "LGBTQ+ propaganda scheme", but I personally don't think so. I, personally, see no reason to why there should be some form of representation. If people don't like it, then that is their opinion. I honestly felt that this game didn't shove said representation down the throats of the consumer, but that is where different opinions differ.

    Overall, the Last of Us 2 is a gritty, dark game, which focuses on the problematic nature of humanity. Emotions lead the game, and in the end, when Ellie lets Abby live didn't leave me completely unsatisfied. Yes, I was very confused with how Ellie, whose entire mission had been to get revenge and kill Abby, in the end lets her live, but after a deep thought, I felt a sense of satisfaction. The ending goes to show that Ellie, despite her unhuman actions throughout the game, is still a good person at heart, and the girl all players came to love in the first game. That is why I give this game 8/10, and why I do not regret my time with the game.

    SPOILER:
    CYCLE OF REVENGE ? right. Joel SAVED Abby. ANY person with consciousness left, no matter how much effort shes put into it, would be conflicted about harming her savior. but NO she tortures and kills him in front of her daughter in worst possible way. this is called **** WRITING by ARMATURES.

    this bull**** shock value, showing violence is bad ? humanity is far better than this. Only people with perverted sense can whip out this kind of situations. plot hole after plot hole. how careless master SURVIVALISTS like Joel and Tommy can be ? to give their full names and base locations to COMPLETE STRANGERS. and Ellie after KILLING MASSACRING, leaving behind countless bodies ... goes ahead and lets this sorry excuse for human "Abby" leave. talk about ANTI CLIMACTIC, talk about COcK BLOCK.

    I’m loving the game so far. Being a Black, queer man in this country, this doesn’t phase me. I’m not sure if it’s because every day of my life I’m on edge with the threat of violence every time I step outside, or the fact that day in and day out I’m in a constant state of mourning for all of my black womxn/lgbtq siblings who are unjustly murdered or attacked in cold blood for no reason.I’m loving the game so far.

It’s certainly a numbness there that I won’t deny, but so far this game has been oddly cathartic in a way. Much like most of the games like this.

    I can certainly understand why this is divisive, but I also have to ask folks, what do they expect when you’re basically killing machines in games? As games mature with technology and their audience, we are bound to get hyper realism in story telling that is certainly going to make you uncomfortable. I would ignore the review bombing and check this out for yourself.

    Gameplay has improved over the last game but the story is where all it went wrong. After playing for 20 hours I felt very angry at the story. In a narrative-driven linear game, the story matters the most and this is why The Last of Us Part 2 is a failed game. The developers in an attempt to create shock value and be so different than the last game failed to accomplish a good story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. while this game doesn't deserve a 0 out of 10 it sure as hell doesn't deserve to be praised as a masterpiece with all the flaws it has. to start with the things this game does right, it's a lot of fun to play, has a good soundtrack + sounddesign and has a great atmosphere. where this game fails however is it's flawed story. you can't expect me to enjoy playing a character for almost half of the game who kills one of the key figures of the first game just a few hours ago. they could have executed it better if that one moment that ruined Abby for me would have been far later in the game, at a point where i had the chance to create emotional attachment to her instead right at the beginning of the game. the awaited satisfying finale is also left out.
    I don't want to give this game an even lower score but considering that the last of us heavily relies on its story I can't give it anything better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Metacritic is blocking bad reviews for this game... Ive been trying to leave my HONEST review here which is a 3/10 but they won't allow it. So here it is, with a better number because I want people to read this... Naughty dog has fallen very low with this one! you can't silence people, we pay for your game and we deserve to have an opinion. What a disgusting company.

    Here's my original review 3/10
    I was truly hoping the leaks were not entirely true, and I was right, they were not even close. It turned out the game is WORST. Yes, the graphics are amazing... yes, the character modeling is breathtaking, the textures, scenarios, and the gameplay are great and fun.. if you dont care about the story then this game might be one of the best yet. But honestly, the last of us has ALWAYS been about the STORY and the CHARACTERS... how they grow together and share a caotic world. Not how they go around murdering each other and changing everything you came to love when playing the first part.

    What they did to them and the story itself is UNFORGIVEABLE.
    Also, most of the last trailers they showed were 100% misleading, showing Joel interacting with Ellie in several occasions, looking older as if it was happening at the time and it was all a LIE. All of the conversations they had were "memories" and "flashbacks". They actually went into the game after it was done and changed Joel's appearance for the trailers to make us believe it was new footage and cinematics of the game, and on the ACTUAL game is different, Joel is young and that is not happening in real time of the game. So dissapointing, you thought no one would notice? Why are you trying to fool your own FANS???

    If you plan to buy this game, wait a couple of months when people actually see it for what it is, and it goes to the ground and they sell it for $9.99. Don't waste $60!!!! and if possible, do not give your money to this disgusting company that only lies and cares about tricking fans into buying something is not even worth it, while striking down honest working youtubers for even mentioning the name of the game, just to try to avoid people from finding out what a bad game this was going to be.

    This is another "cool loking" 3rd person shooter game with a LAME story. nothing more.

    All in all, Naughty Dog has done an amazing job with this.
    The Conservative Culture Police can cry as much as it wants, but this game will either be Game of the Year, or at least become a serious contestant.

No respect to your community, things just done for a shock value and to bring controversy Graphic are nice game play is OK but story is a joke, almost quit the game after the batting and a spit on a corpse of my beloved character... if you want to kill someone like that do it in a manner they deserve, like a noble sacrifice not like this like W.T.F is wrong with you thinking that people will take **** like that and ask for more? Why wen we have lesbian sex camera cuts off straight away, when we have trance/gay sex we need to watch most of it? Either show both property or cut off both at a similar manner... Stop pushing your political agendas, leave gaming out of it... Was waiting for so long for part 2, what a letdown, oh and nice work with a critic scores legit as hell.

So without a great story it's basically just 25 hours of mediocre game play. I got it because of all the "critics" lying and saying this is a 10/10 masterpiece . This game will appeal to some people but for the average person there's a lot better ways to spend your time. It doesn't cost $60 to beat my head on the wall and that's about how i felt playing this depressing bleak, game. Last point the 1st game had hope and good characters you can root for, this game really doesn't. I really can't figure out what the writers were trying to do besides make everybody uncomfortable, and like I said don't need to pay $60 to be uncomfortable. Expand

No need for it, shoulda took a page from Metal Gear Solid V the Phantom Pain. I mean the jump is SUPER lame. Second, how INCREDIBLY LUCKY was Abbey to find Joel after saving her life and after spending Years hunting him and planning and ALL THAT to have him fall in her lap to sucker shoot his knee off? Ugh, PLEASE! Thats that lazy writing some critics have talked about. But other than that...Wow! How utterly amzing is the game? 9 out of 10! Thats how much! If you ever where a Joel and Ellie fan before then part 2 only compliments the part 1. Never played the first but interested in the 2nd? DONT BE! NOT until you play the first. Too many flashbacks will have you confused in the Last of Us timeline. As the the haters? You all can get infected.

The game has been out for roughly 9 hours where I’m from, and at the most, about 24 hours if you’re from NZ/Aust. There is absolutely no way in hell you have played this game enough to give it a quality score. Speed runs? Where’s the quality in that? Pissed about the story, LGBTQ, the leaks? GET OVER IT. This game is a masterpiece and should be recognized as so. Get your heads out of your asses because there is something fishy going on with these reviews. Absolutely no way in hell this game should receive less than an 8. It’s pathetic to see this new age of gamers. People who complain about the most minor of issues that make it seem like that’s what makes or breaks a game. I come from the days of playing sega genesis and Super Nintendo, now seeing a game like this? Absolutely blown away. Granted critics are critics and can’t bomb a game, but when I see hundreds of outstanding reviews from them, but thousands of bombing user reviews, I think of all the little pissed off heavy breathing neck beards that will never be happy with a game. Get the hell over yourself and appreciate something good in your life for once or go hit a treadmill.

    Naughty Dog - I avoided all spoilers so I didn’t know what happened going into this. Gut wrenching thus far from the 3 hours I’ve played. Thanks for pushing the limits on this and not making anyone feel “too comfortable.” I waited 7 years for this game and it’s felt worth the wait.

    Last bit of advice from you other morons: you’re not getting paid for reviews and speed runs. Go back to the days when people truly enjoy single player games and great stories. Quality people. Quality. Suck it neck beards.

The pacing is dreadful since you're flooded in cutscenes or segments where you run around empty fields while the NPC dumps expositions. Not that it matters because the gameplay is exactly the same from the start of the game to the end. Nothing changes or forces you to change up tactics. You fight the same human enemies over and over again doing the exact same stealth kill animations every time (get use to this face. You're going to keep seeing it) or Abby do the same shoulder grab animation every few seconds.

    The infected fights are all as shallow as the first game so there's nothing redeeming there either.
    They spent 5+ years on this **** game and the only work they put into it was this ****ty ass story that isn't presented well. Events are not show in chronological order. This wouldn't be an issue, many stories have done this and done it successfully, but Part II decides to tell you one story, switch perspectives, then give you a flash back, then a dream sequence within that flash back, then a **** flash forward and then reset the whole damn thing in another perspective. All tension is **** lost by the time you get back to the climax. I don't want to get into the story beats because someone else will cover it anyways (retarded motivations, out of character actions, filler events just to extend playtime, that **** ending, etc.)

    If you ever needed an example of the most uninspired videogame sequel, Last of Us Part II is definitely up there. The only reason that it's passable as a functioning video game is because it's built off a previous entry.

Why treat your beloved characters, faces of PlayStation with such disrespect, okay fine Joel needs to die but why go out like that? Did you seriously have to nerf him that hard? In the first game he was always cautious of others and was a great survivor, you’re telling me that all that experience just went away? Being a hunter, being involved with black market traders,Dealing with the military and the fireflies just went out the window? Joel and Tommy would of never put themselves at a disadvantage, hell Joel would of pulled tommy and talked to him before they gave any information. You’re also telling me that after saving Abbys life she didn’t feel anything? She’s a just a robot with no emotions and isn’t thankful at all for Joel shooting that runner? That just makes people even more disgusted. Towards the middle of the game Abby finds Ellie and her friends and pins down tommy, kills Jesse and then we gotta play as her against Ellie? For **** sake why would anyone want to do that? I’d rather be stuck in a loop where Ellie kills me then continue with the **** story. Now onto the ending, you’re telling me that after witnessing Joel’s brutal murder, the death of Jesse, and losing Dina and tommy that it was all for nothing?She finally got the opportunity to kill this she hulk and she didn’t take it? Joel saved Abbys life and Abby showed no **** given but Ellie has to? Where was that compassion when Joel was getting beat to death? Oh “they’re not the same?” Dam right they are and that’s exactly why no one likes Abby, much less hates her. They try so hard to get you to understand her perspective but the audience doesn’t care when she’s still the emotionless robot that killed Joel, she doesn’t even regret it, after Ellie spares her you’re telling me that she couldn’t say “I’m sorry”? I get what the message is, “revenge is a fools game” revenge only hurts the people around you but **** they executed it so poorly and dissrespected the loved characters of the first game. Gameplay wise I have no complaints, pretty cool, no factions mp but hey your guy’s decision for not giving the full game. Overall I’d buy it for the action because the story just leaves you traumatized. Expand

    GAME PLAY:
    The most immersing ever, dynamic, chaotic, but always comprehensible and so damn fun. The environment is like a Luna Park of the combat, and you can use everything in interesting ways. Also, it is constructed to allow the player to survive from very dangerous situations, but only if you're smart enough. Also, the shooting is really fun too, even if it's not perfect.
    GRAPHICS:
    Your PS4 will cry with this graphical masterpiece. you can truly see how the next-gen can bring us into new universes with this game. Take the beautiful animations and polygonal models from Uncharted 4, make them even better, add an incredible lighting system and a stupidly high quantity of diversity: this game is awesome. There is a LOD which I haven't seen before. It's not casual if I'm saying this a lot of times.

    I've never seen a game like this before.
    Please, buy and play this masterpiece.

    El juego es muy bueno en todo sentido la relación de las historias de cada personaje y como se relaciona con el primer juego, los gráficos son hermosos las animaciones y el modelado es increíble, su doblaje al latino es daciado bueno

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. IMHO the game is incredible. Graphics, gameplay, environment research, fightings etc. I liked almost every minute of it including Abby's part and the ending.
    However there are 3 things I didn't like, that;s why only 8/10:

    (Spoilers)
    - Very long and unnecesarry Abby's part. At least 5 hours of playing could have been cut
    - The scene of figting with Ellie. WHAT? I hated this part, I cried and screamed that I didn't wanna kill her. It was horrible decision and I don't understand the purpose of it. I still was not attached to Abby enough to be motivated to do it.
    - The design of the main infected boss. I didn't get why it looked like that with other infected inside. What had happened to it?

    All other scenes were awesome or at least okay)
    Regarding Joel's death and the ending - I consider them logical. Joel's decision in the first game couldn't have gone unmentioned. The final battle between Abby and Ellie - I understood Ellie, I think she thought that there were enough suffering for her, she was almost dead after hanging on a pillar.

    The gameplay is great and the world is beautiful but the story is full is terrible and not what you would expect after the masterpiece of the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 2 isn't a sequel for everyone but I happen to enjoy the game. This game is one of those games that not everyone will like and that's due to people having their opinions and that's great! A lot of people started to lose faith in this game due to the leaks coming out and as someone who saw those spoilers and was upset I can say that I didn't hate this game. The first game was about love and I love the story between Joel and Ellie. But this game is about hate and talks about the cycle of violence and revenge. I think people are at war with this The Last of Us Part 2 not because the addition of LGBTQ+ characters (even though some people are butt hurt about it), but because it's not a game that we see often. Naughty Dog knew that this game was not going to be received well by some people and made it anyway. I genuinely enjoyed this game and the story, even though people think it's garbage. Even with the leaks out I didn't let myself be swayed and stayed hyped and it turned out to be a great game. The downfall to this game and the reason I gave it an 8 out of 10? Abby. Not what she does or her reasoning but that we had to play as her. I'm not mad that they made us play as Joel's killer I only found it less enjoyable to play as a character that we barely knew for half the game. Her parts of the game were pretty bland and I found myself going on to only see Ellie again. They tried to show the story from the "villains" perspective and in all honesty it was just plain boring. It was cool to see someone's life besides Ellie and Joel but playing as her for half the game? A major part of the experience went out the window when I played as her. The story arc with Lev is about the only engaging experience when we play as Abby and even then I just wanted to see Ellie again. Making us play as Abby for her flashbacks with her dad was nice and they pulled it all together in the end with Ellie having those same PTSD like flashbacks with running down the stairs to get to Joel. The ending also wasn't bad at all, ending by an open window gave me vibes of the first game and showing the guitar leaning against the window to rot is a visual to show Ellie is leaving behind everything she knows and is continuing her story. She won't forget but she leaves the thought of revenge behind and goes on to hopefully live and find purpose. Will she see Tommy again? Will she make up with Dina and see Potato (JJ). The game gave an interesting view on dealing with death and PTSD while having some bad ass infected as an added challenge. I think there is room for a Part 3 and I would definitely play it as long as we get to stay with Ellie (Maybe because I love her more than I should but who can blame me?) . Anyway I give this game an 8 out of 10 and I just love my funky little lesbian!! Expand

    Most people only put a review once the game came out less the 5 hrs after it came out. It's a very long game so most reviews here are just fake. This game is so great. from the story to game play, yes it feels to much like number one that could of done with a bit more addition things done to it but it's definitely a must play

    The story of the game is so surprisingly bad coming from a trusted company like naughty dog, it’s as if they mad this game just make fun if their fans. This game is s*** even if you leave out the sjw problems. probably the only good thing about this is the graphics, but overall, its just a boring and hard to play game.

    The game is really beautiful and the story doesn’t follow the cliche that we used to see in many games and gameplay is perfect. The dialog and voice is super crazy. I really enjoyed the game.

    Very important note: Dont see the users reviews because most of them havent even played the game, They are just relying on the stupid leaks.

    Utterly unfulfilling experience. I didn't laugh once. Whenever someone dies you just shrug and sink further into hopelessness. A completely nihilistic journey with nothing gained in the end. What a waste of an artistic project, I feel bad for the people stuck working on this project.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ***spoiler warning***

    I am a fan of the original, I loved the father-daughter dynamic between Joel and Ellie, Joel would do anything and I mean anything to protect her as would she to help him....I tried to give this installment a chance but they made it for all the wrong reasons, the established story should be your holy grail, and then introduce other elements that complement and enhance it ; news flash: having LGBT+ characters is normal (have friends in the community and love them dearly), having minorities (I’m a minority) is normal and not unique, but having a clear message of disdain against one of your major or even your major customer base and even trying to manipulate media to your advantage is not cool, the virtue signaling is more than evident, does Naughty Dog actually even care about these communities or they jumped on the band wagon for selfish reasons? Do your research, then decide for yourself.

    Speaking of which shame on Naughty Dog on how they treat their employees, not only taking advantage of them financially but creating an atmosphere of fear if they don’t align to their belief system. The actual developers is why I give it a 3 and not a 0, a lot of work went into the game and it looks beautiful.

    Back to the game, if Joel should die, it should have been at the end and by saving Ellie, also setting up the 3rd installment, but you know they need to make a point based on agenda right at the beginning; In addition to this, there’s a lot of hypocrisy with Sony in America, censoring many games and content yet in this case having basically a full on s3x scene?

    I’m pro diversity yet I should mention there’s a lot of symbolism in the game...I’m all for Ellie being LGBT+ and the protagonist, I’m not for the symbolism of Joel being killed like a dog because of agenda. All of the shenanigans of Sony/Naughty Dog silencing people who just spoke their opinions by bullying them via copyright claims looks really bad; suspicious 10/10s from critics yet the user score up to now (6/19/20) is 3.4 with 8.5 thousand reviews? That’s a bit strange, wouldn’t be surprised some websites “reset” user scores at some point due to pressure from Sony, Naughty Dog or the media, hopefully they can stay strong and objective.

    This is not for children or teens, parents please don’t buy this game for your children unless you perfectly know the content and are ready to discuss it. It is not intended for them, it’s for mature adults.take note.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part 2 might be the worst game I've played in a long time.
    Also, the media tries to call us homophobic and almost fascists. Well, I don't like to be that kind of person, but I'm gay, so, check mate!
    The game feels pointless when you reach the ending, something that didn't happen with the first game. Also, there are a lot LGBT characters. There's nothing wrong with that, but why did they give so much attention to that aspect? I mean, it's the apocalypse, I wouldn't mind my sexual life or my identity when my life is constantly in danger. Spoilers! Joel is way dumber in this game, an awful lot. He gaves his name to a bunch of strangers, and one of them, Abby, kills him with a golf club. He had the most ridiculous death ever, he fought against zombies, goons, he survived many life threatening situations in the first game to save the girl on whom he sees his daughter, Ellie, and he dies like that in the beginning of the game. Also, there is a sex scene, of Abby and Owen, and oh my God, what was that? It feels like a weird fan fiction. Also, an awful lot of straight characters die in the game but the LGBT ones, are literally ok, nothing happens to them. The zombies merely appear during the game, and they were one of the most important enemies in the first game. At the end of the game, Ellie reaches Abby, and the player can feel how its own blood boils. You want to kill her so bad. But then, Ellie has a vision of Joel and just let's her go free. And the game ends with Ellie completely alone. What was point of the whole adventure if you are not going to kill the main antagonist on the first place? That was her motivation! She sacrifices her relationships and the people she loves, like her girlfriend, because Ellie chose revenge over her. It makes no sense. Ellie kills dozens if not hundreds of humans across the game, but when she reaches the one who ruined her life, she just leaves her. On a good note though, the graphics are stunning, the best ones. It all looks so real and pretty. The details are almost orgasmic. But, the story, ugh, I rather play Uncharted 4.

    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]
