    Absolutely awful, appalling, disgusting and a spit in the face of fans of the first game, a overly and unnecessarily brutal and violent revenge story that completely disrespects characters from the first game that fans knew and loved. This is another example of how you kill a franchise.

    I thought the last 3 Star Wars movies were the worst thing that could happen to a franchise, I was wrong. Continuing with the SJW pandering trend, Naughty Dog has outdone Disney creating a game that disregards everything we loved about the characters in the original game and introducing characters that just check boxes and are bland and uninspired.

    Listing few of the sins in the game:

    -They have succesfully butchered every single
    beloved character from the first game.
    -Inserted disgusting anal sex scene between two men to the game
    -Forcing you to play as abby and forced to experience his story. He is a terrible character
    and the game tries to justify his actions
    -Gameplay is the same boring stuff from the first game with no improvements
    -They twisted the chemistry between the characters Ellie now hates Joel, wtf?
    -Jewish propaganda and reminding the player about HOLOCAUST in the middle of post apocalyptic setting. WTF

    Truly a masterpiece among bad games. Jesus christ. DO NOT BUY THIS.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First let me start by saying that TLOU (the original) is one of my top three favorite games of all times. I've played that game in all difficulties and at least 8 times total. That game deserves to be called a masterpiece.

    My score for this God-forsaken title is 3 out of 10. Reason why I'm giving it a 0 is that if the "critics" have the audacity to give it a 10 then I'll do the same the other way around and drop it to 0.

    Joel is one of the best written characters I've had the pleasure to play as. He's deeply flawed, hurt, and he's just trying to survive. He runs into a situation that allows him to experiment what he once thought lost. We get to go through that process in the middle of an apocalyptic world with incredible environment and powerful relationships. That story gets to you, it makes you feel connected to the character.
    Ellie is a complete bad-ass. We love her from the moment we met her and once we got to know her she became a person you just can stop trying to care of, even though she's more than capable to do it by herself. This father-daughter relationship creates a bond that it's impossible not to love.

    Here's my take on TLOU2:
    - Joel is portrait as a complete different character. He makes decisions that are not the ones he would do. Same as his brother Tommy.
    - Joel gets killed the worst imaginable way. And in the first two hours! He deserved better. Know your audience Neil Druckman.
    - Joel gets spit in his bashed faced by a self inserted Druckman after he's killed. I felt that spit in my face, and before you say it, no, not in a good story telling way, just in a disgusting, unnecessary way.
    - Ellie: I still love Ellie, it's just overwhelmingly sad to see that all they added to her in terms of character is a revenge plot. No closure on her relationship with Joel.
    - Abby: I will never care for Abby, you can put me in a 60-hour Abby only game, where she saves humanity and then becomes Mother Theresa 2 and I still won't like her. Her motivations, character, story telling are not compelling in the way they were presented. And on top of that we get to play as her for 15 hours? And right after she killed our beloved Joel? I think that my 3-year-old nephew can come up with something better than that.
    - With so many plot lines, you decided to explore this one? Was a team of writers consulted on their thoughts and if they were, were their opinions taken into account? I've read hundreds of ideas on possible plots that I would get behind. Deep, interesting, exploring our beloved characters even more. So many possibilities wasted, this is just sad.
    - Gameplay is basically the same as the old one so nothing more to say on that side.
    - Visuals are stunning no doubt about it, top-notch in that regard. Unfortunately this means nothing if the game story isn't enjoyable.
    - The ending is mind-blowing bad. Let's take your plot and finish it maybe? Oh, no! Let's kill 300 people (including a pregnant lady) and then let's forgive the one person who destroy our life and killed our father. Seriously?

    I could write an essay on why you shouldn't play TLOU2 but I'll just stick to what you should know right now: Don't waste your money on this game. Better support game companies that actually care about their fan bases.    … Expand

The combat and gameplay are identical to the original, so they couldn't even be bothered to improve that. Its a convoluted mess that's hard to follow, and just inferior to the original game in every conceivable way. This feels less like a sequel and more like a college kid's fan game.

    What a complete and total waste of talent. The gameplay is stale and bland. The story is a disgrace, with legacy characters acting like complete idiots and sociopaths. Druckmann, you really didn't need to draw the paper-thin premise of "violence begets violence" out over 30 hours and fill it with torture and gore porn in order to make your point.

    The original "The Last of Us" was    What a complete and total waste of talent. The gameplay is stale and bland. The story is a disgrace, with legacy characters acting like complete idiots and sociopaths. Druckmann, you really didn't need to draw the paper-thin premise of "violence begets violence" out over 30 hours and fill it with torture and gore porn in order to make your point.

    The original "The Last of Us" was beloved because it delivered on many different fronts. It was a great character piece. It was atmospheric. Even if it was needlessly violent most of the time, at least it was a straightforward point-a-to-point-b story, with lush natural vistas and a real sense of loneliness and atmosphere. "TLOU" had themes and depth. It was about mankind discovering his humanity in the ruins of civilization. It was about bonding, communication, relationships, and hope.

    "TLOU Part II" is about little more than peddling brutal, transgressive content, and on top of that, advertising it in a misleading manner to the millions of fans of the original groundbreaking title. Neil Druckmann, you in particular should be sued for false advertising for the way you edited Joel into the trailers. The way you instructed gaming outlets to only review the first third or so of the game is an utter disgrace that only shows the incestuous nepotism inherent in this godforsaken industry. And to top it off, hitting content creators on the Internet with DMCA notices really put the cherry on top of your crap sundae.

    I feel disgusted by the way this all was handled. If Amy Hennig were in charge of this, this never would have happened, because she understands something called nuanced storytelling. Look it up, Neil Druckmann. You should never be given creative control of any video game ever again, and I hope that other AAA devs will think twice before hiring someone as tone-deaf to their audiences as Anita Sarkeesian to consult. I pity the developers who worked so hard on this game's beautiful graphics, animation, soundscapes, etc., all in service of the worst story I've seen in a modern video game. Shame on you, Druckmann. Resign, for the good of gaming.    … Expand

This franchise was known for its emotional and complex storytelling, and the story transcended identity politics. This latest edition utterly falls completely flat. I have been a naughty dog fan since the crash bandicoot days, but after seeing how little talent Neil and the ND remnants (most of the talent has left or was forced out) have for crafting compelling and coherent stories, I am going to be extremely weary of ND titles going forward. RIP to what had the makings of being an all-time great series and to the ND studio itself. At least the game is very visually appealing, but that’s all I can say of it.… Expand

The first game was a masterpiece, loved it. But the second is a nonsense. Just about revenge with no real outcome. Game mechanics and animations etc, all fine. Just has no story.

    And towards the end, I thought it was ending three of four times (and I wish it had) but it drags on and on. To an ultimate conclusion, that is just a farce. It takes the saying, 'before you embark on a journey of revenge, you should dig two graves' as a plot for a whole game. The character interactions are weird, people following others for no good reason - and then willing to sacrifice their lives. Or go on a major killing spree for their love that has just happened.

    I hated it to be honest and characters like Anabolic Abby - made no sense in a post-apocalyptic world. Nor did things like sending pregnant women out on patrols ... fine being pregnant isn't a disease but that is the future of the world they carry. You would protect that at all costs. Then on top of that the 'diversity' nonsense - and the women overpowering massively muscled men. Yeah firearms equal the playing field but there is a lot of hand-to-hand combat type episodes and I didn't buy it at all.

    What made this game interesting was the leaks that Naughty Dog refuted at first and went after YouTubers etc with copyright strikes. Well they were all pretty much true - so doesn't make Naughty Dog look particularly good. Hope they just end the series now and forever. Interested to see how they deal with this story in the new TV series.

    Terrible, long and boring - had potential with decent game mechanics and graphics etc. But squandered by taking a very thin story and dragging it out from multiple perspectives. Avoid at all costs, not even worth the money I paid for it on sale.    … Expand

This game had me so frustrated with the boredom and mind numbingIn all my years of playing games and learning systems and gamplay loops I have never come across and game with such a dull and boring setup ,ever. Nearly the whole game is move to a medium to large sized area, search the area for resources, spend another 10 minutes wandering around the area finding the hidden exit. This game had me so frustrated with the boredom and mind numbing nothingness of it all I am actually proud of myself for finally finishing it. But I had to finish it, ive played the first game 5 times, that game was balanced , the areas you search only took one or two minutes and you moved on, combat and puzzles were more frequent and infinently more satisfying.
    As I moved through the highly detailed but miserable looking world of THOU2 I was very rarely taken back by the visuals, thanks to the gross and horribly thick Grain/film filter pasted over the screen. The game looks ugly even at the times it shouldn't, considering all the accessibility options , why was there no option to remove the horrid Grain filter. Which brings me to my next point, WTF is there no option to adjust the Dead Zone for aiming. The dead zone in the game is HUGE,. Even as I was begging for some combat to break up the monotonous of this game I knew it would be clunky and unsatisfying after every encounter, but, barly 10% of the game is combat.
    Lastly but defiantly not least in the Story, oh man , what a joke, what an absolute blunder. Its just ridiculous, its messy, motivations and consequences are just stupid. Obviously cant explain why, cause spoilers, but this is easily the stupidest story ive ever experienced and I finished Death Stranding.
    Some will say no game deserve a 3 , especially a game that has had so much money thrown at it and has few bugs and stuff. But IMO thats exactly the reason this game deserves a 3, literally the only things that works in this game are the things money can buy, graphics and bug fixes. Where ever talent is required like in creating good gameplay and a good story this game fails miserably. I actively hated playing this game. A 5 is a game that entertains me ever if it dosent blow me away and anything lower is a game that repels me. If this wasnt the sequel to my favorite game of the last generation I would have stopped playing about 5 hours in.    … Expand

Both were established and beloved game series that were hijacked for political purposes. The writing in both also feels too contemporary too. In the LOU2 there is a line about bigot sandwiches.

In many ways it feels like a strange continuation. Also how buff Abby was very strange. That body type is very hard to attain and probably impossible to attain in an food scarce apocalypse.

    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.
