    -graphics

    Cons:

    -story
    -gameplay
    -no replayability

    I believe the truth about this game lies in the middle ground between paid critics and the user score. First of all, this game is an absolute gem and state-of-the-art in terms of technology. There is absolutely no way that, even if you hated the story, this game is a 0/10 or something of the likes. At the same time there is no way you could give this game more than 8/10 on a basis of game-design.

    The gameplay is almost identical to the first part and it can hardly be called an "action game" let alone video game. The first part got away with it, because the story is simply so brilliant and captivating. TLOU2, however, exposes the weaknesses this series always had, due to its poor storyline.

    The drastic changes from the first part seem not only out of proportion, but also unrealistic. Luxuries like transgenderism would never exist in an apocalypse setting. Apart from being focused on biological survival of the humans, there isnt even a society to define traditional gender roles. This is basically an analogy for the entire game, the occurences feel forced and unnatural. Every decision of the protagonists makes you hate them more. There is nothing wrong with transgenderism and homosexuality, but its like creating a sports game with only fat athletes. It just doesnt check out.

    Furthermore, throwing extreme brutality with no underlying meaning or message at the player didnt help either. I imagine the goal was to provoke a sophisticated reaction from the players, but it feels more like a trashy splatter movie than an artistic shocking message.

    Overall this game feels more like a statement. Its easily the most boring AAA game I have ever played. The points that kept me playing were the beautiful design & music (in most parts very atmospheric), the hope for a genius story twist and simple nostalgia for the first part.

    I think the game may appeal to a niche audience and it does have its moments, but personally I wish I hadnt wasted my time with it.

I didn't see any spoilers before playing it so to not ruin it, that's where some people went wrong. So don't listen to them if your still on the fence, just wait for a sale but still support this game so there's more like these TLOU series games and others like it. The game has jaw dropping graphics, atmosphere, gameplay, and very relatable well built characters. Top notch EVERYTHING! GOTY Expand

    The first game was about love and it made every single person who played it cry because it hurt. This one is not about love, it’s about hate. I can honestly say if it had been fun or happy I would have been very disappointed. Thankfully it’s not fun or happy. It’s not meant to be. It’s an exploration of hate, the pain that it causes, and the consequences people’s actions.

It’s an exploration of hate, the pain that it causes, and the consequences people’s actions. These days people don’t want to look at the dark side of things. They want every piece of media to be fluffy domestic bliss. I can’t think of anything more boring than that.

    Gameplay wise, they have definitely improved on all the original games mechanics. Although this one is much more heavily leaned towards wanting you to do stealth. The upgraded melee was particularly satisfying.

    The graphics are amazing. Nothing else to say about them other than the lighting department needs a damn award.

    Overall yeah. Absolutely loved this game. It hurt so good.

There is 2 thing that is horrible in TLOU2, the story and the characters, including Joel and Ellie, Story is really terrible and makes 0 sense IMO. Naughty Dog betrayed us and changed the personalities of the characters in a bad way. I think all of the other characters are built on SJW. Animations are good, mechanics are good, the combat system is good, graphics are good, horse mechanics are bad dialogues are good, Since the main points of TLOU are the story and the characters it is 1/10, This review may take hella dislikes but this is my personal idea so I don't care.

    So the game is a masterpiece, in graphics and history, but pay $60 dollars for it isn't worth

    Разработчики игр должны были давно понять, что хорошие игры делают упор на хороший сюжет и атмосферу, а не на политические повестках и пропаганду .
    Если бы они действительно хотели продвигать политику, они дали бы игроку право выбирать, в каком направлении он хочет двигаться, вместо того чтобы загонять его в определенные рамки, тем самым навязывая одну сторону и выдавая ее за норму.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am sad to say that when you write a masterpiece, there is very little you can do to add to that. This story needed no closure or additional material. But ND think otherwise.

    The writing is dire. Full of plot holes & is very sadistic. Even the characters we are familiar with are reduced to a latter glory of themselves. Joel - who used to be impetuous & take no nonsense is now a withered old man who takes abused from Ellie who is now a spoilt brat who has no morals, ethics, & seldom any intelligence left. She isn't half as likable as Abby who seems to be the better of a poor bunch of brainless girls merely reacting to digs from friends all the time, when they're not stuck in FLASHBACKS for half the game!
    Flashbacks are a result of poor writing falling apart at the seems via logic. Stanley Kubrick once opined "Don't Tell the story.. SHOW the story". Not only do they fail at both, but they are constantly patching it up with amendments in timelines which have no impact to the present story. It is tedious. A frustrating slog through intended checkpoints in order for the ending to make sense.

    It's a shame. Because I think there is no environment in which the people behind the first had any say at all in whether all their work be wiped away with a lesser game that no one wanted. Many Devs raised their voice. The concerns.. ignored.

    This isn't anything to do with sexuality or diversity. I quite like the cast, if they weren't under the strict stipulation of turgid writing. It's GOT Season 7 & 8 all over.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game's gameplay and details are very amazing but story is ridiculously bad. How can the character with such a beautiful character development be killed absurdly in a snap? The whole game progresses in revenge but in the end we cant see a revenge in a funny way Expand

    Beyond disappointed. Completely derailed from what was built on in the first game. This story is similar to the SJW Netflix shows made for teens. Wish I could get a refund honesty.

    This game takes all of the things that made the predecessor good and turns them into a dull, unnecessarily grim-dark, bloated and (sorry to say) pandering experience. On top of that, what gameplay-elements have been improved upon aren´t interesting of exciting enough to merit neither its length, nor some of the sequences that you are forced through.

    In honesty, the game deserves a bland-to-good rating, but for all the things that have been happening around it, the image of it being an acclamed masterpiece needs to be diluted. Shame on ND for having had the resources to potentially making a genuinely impactful experience out of the sequel and having ended with this, shame on them for all the pathetic attempts at damage control when it became evident what they did, and shame on the industry for attempting to mellow the outcome

    Bad character development, bad writing.
    Great graphics, but who needs that in a rubber tasteless game...

    They tried to please the people that won't buy this shiet of a game and just ignored the player/gamer that loved the first one. Ya know what's worse? They fired the women who wrote the story for the first game. Hypocrites.

    I’m so sorry for you hardcore fans that have to deal with this. I’m sure it’s a good game gameplay wise but when a company makes such a good game and then wants to flip the script in an unnecessary way involving the characters you know and love is such a thing now. Game of thrones last season is an example of this. These companies think they are doing something FRESH and NEW and let’s notI’m so sorry for you hardcore fans that have to deal with this.

These companies think they are doing something FRESH and NEW and let’s not forget STUNNING AND BRAVE when all we wanted was a proper continuation of the story that can have twists and turns but not in such a obvious way. I can handle a trans woman playing a part in the main story but I can’t take it seriously if you can’t make it fit right. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't normally write my opinion down, but this game ruined one of my favourite franchises.
    How on earth can you kill a character you made us spend a whole game to bond with, then do that. This game was built from the relationship of Ellie and Joel created. What's worse is then to rub salt in the wound make you make us play as the person who did it for a large portion of the game!!!! I mean you let her live!This has killed my my love for the last of us and hope it gets any more bad reviews. The gameplay is is what I expected with nothing overly new added, but the story ruined within two hours was enough for me. Also Dina and jesse blow chunks and are dull.

    Absolute disappointment. Went through part 1 before and it could not be worse what they did/ why they did it? to part 2. Maybe to favour a certain demographic/ ideology I don‘t know. One of the worst endings I ever experienced in a videogame. Graphic 9/10 and the 7/10 gameplay is the only thing holding this game together. Story 0/10

    Visuals - some of the best 10/10
    Audio - amazing foley and soundtrack 9,5/10
    Acting - Amazing performances by the 3 main characters
    Story - a true disrespect to the players of the game, makes everything the studio did meaningless and destroys the work everyone has done.
    Final grade - 0/10

    This games story is terrible, It just makes one feel disappointed and depressed that this is all they could come up with in 7 years of waiting. I think all of the writers of the first game quit and we were left with Neil Druckmann and his three yes men writing this game.

    This is a great game, truly. The story-telling is raw and brutal, and fits quite well the tone of the series. Graphics are an absolute masterpiece. You should play it with headphones on, it's quite immersive. Maybe the best PS4 game of this gen, with the permission of Bloodborne and God of War.

    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]
