    Чистая лево-либеральная пропаганда. Насколько же плохим оказался сюжет, который никак не соотносится с 1 частью и служит только инструментом навязывания своих взглядом через игру.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The whole plot is just created to push the ideas of violence and popularize the L*BT. In the first part, Ellie wanted to help all of humanity by sacrificing herself, but in this part she was made a crazy lesbian and poured mud over Joel. The series was destroyed by hostages of ideas of immoral and not godly love.… Expand

    Do not EVER call this game The Last of Us 2, ever. This in no f way deserves to be a sequel to the original masterpiece. This is utter bull crap and I never once in my life want to be reminded of this absolute pile of garbage. The story of Joel ended with the original game, period.

    the way everything was done just ruined it for me. Such a disappointment. It made the first game extremely pointless and the plot was as if the creators looked at it and spat on it. The graphics are amazing but the plot in itself just made it a game that’s hard to play. I get it’s about revenge but i mean do things a certain way, especially if you’ll kill of a main character like that.

Una historia muy pobre, una cantidad de inclusión absurda, demasiado protagonismo de mujeres en la historia, eliminación del personaje principal al que todos los fans de la saga amábamos "Joel" de una manera absurda, mediocre y nada heroica, como iron Man en el universo cinematográfico de Marvel o Arthur Morgan para salvar a John maratón, en fin, el era el que hacia la franquicia, no Ellie, no nadie, solo el, es mas hasta odiábamos a Ellie por inútil, y ahora protagoniza su propio juego con un viaje absurdo. Estas decisiones del escritor acabaron con la saga.

    Neil is definitely the one, but may be not the only one, to be blamed. He ruined the game. We clearly sense that he does not like the characters he created at all. He does not treat Joel and Ellie as his children, but just tools that he can use to spread and teach us his own values. We gamers love Joel and Ellie, Neil does not. This is also a lesson for all directors. We pay $60 to buy your game, we want to have fun, we want to enjoy a story. We are not paying our hard earned money to be taught by your own values. If you want to teach us what to do, say that on your own blog/twitter/YouTube channel, do not use a game that is created by and the cumulative result of hundreds of hard working and under payed people.

And the second part just killing this relationship .

    SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!
    DO NOT LISTEN TO THE CRITICS REVIEWS. They are pointless. In the first 2 hours of the game, Naughty Dog managed to ruin what was once an amazing franchise/storyline. The character development was just so freaking weak. The disappointment was just beyond what my brain can comprehend. Next, because they decided to kill off Joel (whoever wrote the storyline needs to be fired ASAP) is just mind-boggling. Fans did not wait like what 7? 8? years for such a poorly written storyline to be presented to use. It truly felt like such a slap to the face. I tried so hard to push through and finish the game (I did) but the disappointment was just... The ONLY positive thing I have to say about this whole game was the graphics. That's it... The Last of Us was the type of game focus on the storyline. That's what made fans fall in love with the game in the first place. The storyline and character development. It is so sad that so many nasty reviews have been written for this game because it truly had so much potential. overall I am just so mad at Naughty Dog for presenting such a **** game to fans and making us wait so long to be able to play it only to charge an arm and a leg for a piece of poop of game. Shameful of these greedy creators. You definitely lost a fan due to your sad excuse for a storyline in The. Last of Us Part ll.    … Expand

    Let this statement sink in.

    I have been playing video games for over a decade now. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, GameBoy, N64 up to this date. It is mind-blowing because I never felt the urge to create an account just to rate a game bad. I thought that everything has it's own reasons, but this game is different.

    While TLOU1 is a masterpiece by itself with incredible storytelling, great character development, and an emotional connection, TLOU2 became like GoT Season 8. Something that should have NEVER existed like that in the first place.

    If I wanted to play revenge with **** storytelling, I would've played GTA Online because no story is better than this piece of garbage. They not only killed Joel "just like that" with an absolutely trash story leading up to that, they also turned a great character like Ellie into a one-dimensional revenge-seeking character that can't be seen as anything else but that.

    The most ridiculous part are the "journalists" that are rating this game as an absolutely masterpiece. It is an absolute dumpster fire and it shows what's wrong with gaming journalism. Unreliability.

    Не этой игры я ждал 7 лет. Просо обосрали серию своим тупым движением и пропогандой. Про сюжет я вообще молчу. И да вы серьезно считаете что рейтинг 95 не куплен и проплачен?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think we should just consider that this whole story happened in a parallel universe and has nothing to do with the main universe. Joel is alive and nothing has happened to him. I think the devs should make a part 3 about the main universe where Joel saves Ellie and continue the story from there.
    The graphics amazing and the gameplay was decent but storytelling was not appealing and i mean it.    … Expand

    Gameplay wise, it’s a good game and the graphics is enthralling but the first game was able to achieve so much more with less and what made the first one special was its unique story telling of a zombie post apocalyptic world.

TLOU2 Characters are not worth investing in. It tries so hard to be political that it felt like it was shoving it down your throat by force. Story was just not well thought of and kinda generic like it was just taken from an episode of "walking dead" and other games were able to deliver revenge plots similar to TLOU2 But still managed to make the experience satisfying as where as in TLOUS2 it just makes you question yourself “why did I finish it till the end?”. A real let down.… Expand

    They try to lure you in with the pretty graphics and the world you know and love, only this time instead of coherent world building and thoughtful interplay between characters you know and love you're essentially being lectured to by feminists. This is supposed to be your entertainment and escape. "Look what they did to my boy"

    CANNOT Believe critics gave 95 in this SH*T. Are the developers mentally ill?
    And critics must be a person who wrote a review without played the game, or posted a review from somewhere, or can't speak a different opinion than others. 95? R Y kidding me?

    Even worse thing is that the game developer actually says they want to deal with some kind of justice and revenge, so they make this story on purpose. OMG.
    The truth? They didn't know the concept of Justice.
    Hey, you guys must go to any college and take some class about any justice.
    They must be thinking TWISTED story AND stimulating content, or some kind of thing someone never ever have done makes masterpiece, but you guys are wrong.
    Guys, you can wonder how the story flow, But you can't enjoy it if you are a ordinary person.
    So, DON'T PLAY THIS GAME FOR YOUR MENTAL CARE, especially you were the fan of 1.

    However, it's not characters itself, but how this games story is done in the core. It's a poor forced representation of vengeance, human violence, unmotivated decisions, gimmicky plot twists, bad character building, and it totally ignores all points which were made in the first game. It's hard to relate yourself to the characters, which your have no information about at all. There's not enough buildup to make players understand what's going on. Some decent, deep and really meaningful character conversations completely ruined by it's placing. Making it seem unnecessary and even ridiculous. Like a different parts of unconnected narrative shuffled and randomly put together. It feels weird. And that twist for a twist middle game part.. Maybe it would be better to change it vice-versa and start your game with that "twist". Wrap it differently. It would've made more sense in that case.

    It does not matter what Neil Druckmann intended to say, it's what he did. And it seems like a spit in the face of all the fans of the fist game, and even the newer ones. Simply thinking that people won't get the more subtle and realistic approach to storytelling does not itself make it true. Don't treat your audience like idiots. Don't destroy your own characters in a stupid ways, just cause you don't like them or they don't fit your new "brilliant story".

    And that leads us to gameplay, which were "significantly improved since the first game". But it's exactly the same. Sometimes it feels like endless walking simulator with looting and repetitive fights. There's really nothing more to say about. Cope that with bad storytelling and forced character building, and it almost feels like fillers, just to get the important message to "ignorant crowd". But there's no message. Nothing to make conclusion of. Nothing to change your mind. Just some scenes that intended to be shocking one, but again, with all said above it just seems like a bunch of nonsense.

    The only things that shines in that game is scenery, animations and characters look. Beautiful landscapes, good visual design. Graphics seems good, though it's mostly art style. No really big technical leaps or something outstanding. It's still blurry and grainy, but has decent lights, overall look quality and maintains 30 fps almost everywhere, which is rare for most of the console games. Seems that the team knows how to work with provided resources.

    With all that said, i won't recommend this game for entertainment nor for developing your point of view. It's kinda sad that so many hard work of talented people could be ruined by one persons vision. At least it did for me.

    TL/DR:
    So, what do we have in the end? Poor storytelling, bad twists, lack of character motivation, and their bad development. Weird resentment to the first game and it's values. Claiming to have a message, but instead providing childish, hysterical, flat and oversimplified representation of modern world view. Beautiful scenery and design. Good sound. Ok graphics, good characters visuals, animations and nice console performance.    … Expand

    Useless gameplay mechanics, too much effort spent on dull, gray graphics that get boring in the first 5 minutes due to utter lack of colour, and absolutely laughable plot made more by an edgy middle-schooler on Tumblr than a AAA game studio. Progressive agendas win once again in the war against quality video games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, critics are useless. Nobody should ever listen to them ever again, they've proven to me that they are not to be trusted. on to the review:
    Graphics... That's the only good thing about this. Everything else is either mediocre or down right awful. The game play did not evolve one bit since 2013. It's still a walking simulator that's more a movie than a game, which would be enjoyable if it had a good story but God damn is it bad. The story simply broke my heart and not in the good way. It's like a spit in the face of the entire fan base. It's like the worst fan fiction you could possibly find. Seriously? This is what you came up after 7 years? Did Twitter write this game? It's full of plot holes and the characters you fell in love with in the first game are completely ruined and you are forced to play with the character that ruined them. I don't mind the woke stuff but when so much of it is obviously forced down your throat it feels like the entire game was built around it so if people don't like it you can pull the victim card and say that they are ists and phobes and whatever. And the director to preach so much about sexualising women in games is bad only than to put that Abby scene in the game? I can't unsee that. WTF were you thinking? I'd rather watch 2 girls one cup on repeat while eating. Let me tell you a little secret western game devs. People are playing games for entertainment and they'd rather see pretty things while doing it than ugl.. excuse me FUGLY ones! This is never going to change. How is sexualising men was never an issue? People don't like to be preached to and to be told what to think. In a video game setting, that choice should be always ours.
    Overall, I don't recommend this, especially if you were a fan of the previous one. maybe buy it when it's on a massive sale. Shame.    … Expand

    Ruined franchise by an almost unbelievable bad story. So much stuff to discuss in a post apocalyptic world and Naughty Dog chooses to focus on an empty and stupid vengeance cicle, sexuality, gender, abortion and weed. For the sake of this agenda, it even killed a very loved character in a very hateful way. After finishing the game, I wish I haven't played it to preserve just TLOU1 in my memory.

    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]
