    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A plot that sounds like it was written by a 13 year old edge lord, with zero payoff and destroys every character you loved from the first game. A badly written revenge plot with no revenge. This is not Eliie and Joels story again, this isnt even Ellies story. its just a story, and a bad one at that.

    New infected, especially the rat king feel out of place, it was actually in the concept art for tlou1 but they decided not to use it as they themselves felt it didnt feel very 'the last of us' and was more akin to the necromorphs of dead space, to me the lack of colour, the and design seems like it would be better suited in evil within 2 or one of the bad resident evil games. The shambler isnt as bad but still feels out of place, more like a l4d enemy.

    Character inconsistencies that straight up insult and tarnish characters from tlou1, that change personality as and when the plot demands it

    Very obvious that the characters were written around the plot.

    Only positives ill give is the acting, graphics and a special mention for all the accessability settings they made for disabilities,never seen anything like it and its really cool.    … Expand

It's story is panhandling, and it relies solely on badly written shock value to try and prove its self contradicting agenda.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here is my honest review

    Naughty dog and specially Neil druckman ruined such a series and the people who are syaing that game is good go please check a psychiatric first as they need serious attention. most of us can't call a game bad because it tarnishes the value of a brand

    reasons are as follows that this game is awful
    1) forced to play with abby
    2) joel deaths is like a side character
    3) killer is forgiven in the end if it is not for revenge then why took game so long add a system like farcry if you want to end it now or want to go through everything
    4) just hate how a political agenda inserted into a game
    5) most hated character abby and turning of ellie into villian in the half gameplay
    6)story looks like was stretched out without a purpose that was needed to be fulfilled
    7) completely shatters the foundation of the first game...
    8) they shattered every love for the game
    9) Bribed gaming websites to give fake reviews

    for a person who played first game will feel Disappointed as this game is just a no buy if i could i would give ratings in minus whereas most people are saying it was like Red dead redemption 2 let me tell you one thing arthurs sacrifice was respectable as in terms of joel they made him look like a side character    … Expand

    Let me break this down for you quickly: PANDERING has negatively infected gaming culture and the Last of Us 2 is the quintessential example of it

    Before we get into game-play, story, sound design and overall fun of the game; we need to have serious discussion on what pandering is and how it effects culture negatively. Pandering is defined as doing things for an individual or group in    Let me break this down for you quickly: PANDERING has negatively infected gaming culture and the Last of Us 2 is the quintessential example of it

    Before we get into game-play, story, sound design and overall fun of the game; we need to have serious discussion on what pandering is and how it effects culture negatively. Pandering is defined as doing things for an individual or group in order to gain a favor and advantage for yourself.

    Every game, comic book, movie or music may contain some form of pandering, and in most cases it isn't a big deal. In modern culture, however, we have reached a point where pandering has become an issue, particularly when a medium appeals to a certain demographic without making any effort to understand the people they're supposedly representing.

    It often feels like an afterthought, something thrown in to reap the benefits of including that group (typically a minority) without doing any actual work. Typically it's lazy representation at best, and at worst it can be actively harmful to the demographic being (mis)represented.

    The Last of Us 2 is the latter.

    I am a huge fan of the first game; but not in terms of the its game-play, graphics and sound design. The game's story, specifically its masterful pacing and development of the two main protagonists Ellie and Joel, is what draws players in (myself included) and captivates them throughout the entire journey. The writers knew what these two characters represent: Joel is a damaged, old and experienced man that has reluctantly partnered with an energetic, young and naive Ellie in order to potentially save humanity from a deadly virus. The game has a beautiful thematic narrative on society and human-beings; Ellie represents humanity's hope for the future (the literal cure for the virus), and thus needs to be protected by the battle-hardened adults, which is where Joel steps in (both story-wise and in game-play). Both characters grow and start depend on each other, and the game ends with an ambiguous question of whether this father/daughter relationship has either doomed or saved humanity.

    The Last of Us 2 has this beautiful theme and relationship dynamic completely thrown out of the window in order for the writers to pander Ellie as a strong female LGBT lead. All the charm and charisma she had in the first game is completely gone as Ellie has been reduced to being part of a, as writer Neil Druckmann puts it.... "diverse cast of strong female characters".

    Being female and gay does not make Ellie a strong character.

    Being deadly and proficient in killing does not make Ellie a strong character.

    Having a tortured past and being an emotionally distant does not make Ellie a strong character.

    In fact, being the potential cure to save humanity, also did not make Ellie a strong character either. She became a strong lead because of how her actions dynamically affected those around her, specifically Joel and his group. In this bleak future, Ellie is the Last bit of humanity (of Us, if you will) in a literal sense but also in an emotionally resonant way for all of us.

    In an effort to pander to certain demographics, the story takes a complete thematic nose-dive to have so-called representation of minorities surviving in an apocalyptic wasteland. Ellie, our future for humanity, is now comically emotional for wanting vengeance to the point of absurdity for the death of a close friend. None of her witty lines, or virus-curing antiques is needed here. All the Last of Us 2 seems to concern itself with, is how violence is violent for violent characters because a violent world needs violent people to justify the violence.

    And who better to justify this game's theme than humanity's last hope for the future... who's a lesbian.

    Pandering with no thought of the narrative pedigree that the first game had, has a sure way of alienating audiences and it does not make for a great gaming experience; especially when the first-game to this day is a herald for refined video game story-telling.

    In my humble opinion, Naughty Dog Studio have never been the creators of original game-play and stories, however, they have always been prime examples of expertly "refined" experiences. Uncharted/Crash Bandicoot and even the Last of Us were not pioneer games; but they were amazingly refined platformer/survival games to the point that it gave the illusion that they were.

    The graphics and sound design of the Last of Us 2 is worth praise as enemies converse realistically and move dynamically through the environment, a touch of the naughty dog refinement that is muddied unfortunately by the bog-standard run-of-the-mill 3rd-person action game-play.

    However the sound, game-play and the game's overall fun factor is connected to the story Naughty Dog has written, thus it suffers immensely for it. 1/10    … Expand

I am not giving this a 0 purely to spite this storytelling, the gameplay itself feels like its stuck in the previous generation, the only positive note was the difference in enemy types which I enjoyed. Naughty Dog has become creatively bankrupt, and I cant continue supporting a studio that slave drives its workers.… Expand

    So funny that just IGN Japan wrote professional honest review on a game. Im not against the teenager's ideas of this crap with good graphics. It just need more talented writers, like in RDR 2. American games from a masterpieces became sjw twits. Wasteland 3 postapocalypse is more real than this untalented crap

    The game dashed the hopes of many players, where in the first two hours it was fun, but after that you will hate the game and play a character that you will not like and you will hate .. As for the story, you will expect what will happen but it will not happen and the situation in the game will become much worse

    This game is not bad because of SJWs.

    This game has poor, contrived writing that is trying to prove a point. It is forced and unconvincing. In addition, you have gameplay from 2013 and NPCs that speed up and slow down like GTAV in 2013.

    I remember others complaining RDR2 in 2018 was behind the times. I wonder what those people think about TLOU2..

    Decent gameplay nothing innovative compared to the first game, great graphics/animations, but that's it this game is let down by a horrible story none of the death scenes have any weight to them and the ending is just horrible. A fan of the first game could write a way better story than what we got here.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolute disgrace and an insult to the original Last of Us game.

    I dont even know where to start.

    When Sony realized what Druckmann did to this game they tried to censor everybody even talking about this game (complete censorship of reddit LoU page, then copyright triking everyone everywhere with any LoU2 related opinion/content that criticized the game, and superstrict embargo terms on reviewers that were basically put in to conceal the second half of the game where you play for some unimportant character, just so Druckmann can check his box for his feebleminded agenda and that so people unknowingly buy a game based on false marketing (they never told us we are gonna play as some unimportant and very negative character half of the game)).

    Crunch for the poor developers and pushing agenda on their own employees?

    Most basic story that a 9 year old would come up with?

    Zombie apocalypse being suddenly irrelevant because of agenda?

    Ellies immunity being completely thrown away as theres a ton of immune people suddenly appearing in the game?

    Dont buy this game!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay-wise, this game is amazing. Graphics-wise, this game is amazing. The world is beautiful and you can tell the devs put a lot of time into making it a better game than the first. I can agree that in most cases this game should deserve a very high rating. Unfortunately, the developers have decided that anyone who was invested in the first game and everything that took place during it can just go kill themselves. After everything that happened in the first game and the player having to come to terms with the decision Joel made at the end of the game, killing him off right at the start of this game because "his decision was wrong" is a massive kick in the balls to anyone who grew attached to both Joel and Ellie. It's like the devs are saying "you liked the story we told in the first game, so get **** you weren't supposed to like it." Even after seeing all the leaks, I wanted to give this game a chance assuming that Joel's death would happen towards the middle or at least a third into the game and be a turning point for the story. Unfortunately, it happens within the first two hours. This completely killed any enjoyment I had had in this game and ruined my motivation to keep on playing it, regardless of the fact that everything else in this game is absolutely award winning.… Expand

They took one of the best written game that was so good it created its own genre, fired everyone that made it and got a bunch of completely unqualified people to do it. I hold on and refused to give up, thinking Joel's death would actually mean something; nope it was absolutely useless and further nothing. Whoever wrote the plot did not graduate school, I taught for 10 years in my life and the story the created for this game is about as deep and readable as the 7th graders in my school. This is possibly worse than the Transformers movie plots, it's very tragic considering even streamers you pay to play for advertisement find the game crap. The only reason Naughty Dog even made profit off the game is because idiots like me did pre-purchase, watch them suppress the sales volume because it will abysmal compared to original TLOU.… Expand

    Awful. To satisfy the developers' vanity, it feels like one of the great game franchises was hit by a golf club without meaning. If you've been a fan since the first episode, each progress will be unpleasant. Even lots of bugs are also in here. It is obvious that Naughty Dog also threw their reputation into the trash can.

    But I was severely disappointed..

    Story

    To put it short, the story resembles a badly written fanfiction by someone who does not acknowledge or respect the reason that made people love the first game. The messaging of wokebess and diversity was pushed so much that it got way more screen time that could have been used to make the actual story more coherent and meaningful..

    Gameplay

    The gameplay is very stale, the new unlovable soulless characters make it even more of a chore than anything else In addition to no new significant improvements on the first games mechanics.

    Visuals

    The visuals and animations were the best thing in the game, there are beautiful landscapes and great attention to detail in the level design.
    Sadly, even that could not carry an atrocious story like this one.

    Verdict

    Before attaching a phobic description at me I’m not saying the game was disappointing because of the lesbian and trans galore going on in it (who characters slept with never mattered in the first game, not sure why it matters now but ok), I’m saying this because the story and messaging of this entire game is very badly done with little effort to make it mean something other than representation.. So please find a better use for your $60, invest in yourself, treat a loved one or help someone in need...Just make sure it doesn’t go to naughty dog because if this game indeed succeeds it will leave a taint in the gaming industry that encourages weak-willed creators to follow the atrocious trend of pandering and wokeness to get attention and legendary reviews on the expense of actually creating a good game with a meaningful story    … Expand

    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.
