    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joel in the first game wanted to survive. He got impaled and he didn't die. And in one part in the game he know that a guy "hurt" in the middle of the street is a trap. He did a rampage in the hospital at the end. Now in part 2 he was dumb enough to trust some people with Tommy and later get in a room with some danegrous looking people. He wouldn't do that in the first game.
    And gets killed 2-3 hours in the story, by some one buff looking "Abby" and you play as her. And the ending sucks Ellie does survive but dosen't get her revenge.    … Expand

    A game that fails its predecessor; though the graphics are competent, they are nothing spectacular, and in all other facets - gameplay, story, character, etc. - it falls flat.

    No one wanted this to be the story, this is kind of a slap in the face for all us fans who waited 7 years for this sequel. I don't care about Dina and I don't care about abby's backstory. 0/10.

    Naughty Dog completely disregared their fans in order to create their own story and push their agenda at the expense of their fanbase.
    Horrible game!

    I did everything I could to avoid the spoilers, and the very little that did catch my attention, I made a conscious decision to ignore it. I even told myself that there was no way they could be true.

    I blamed trolls for spreading fake news, and yet, I can't believe how wrong I was.... 4 hours in, and I had to face the music. Everything they said was true.

    I blamed trolls for spreading fake news, and yet, I can't believe how wrong I was.... 4 hours in, and I had to face the music. Everything they said was true. The story was dreadful, bordering on idiotic and it was nothing like what I expected from Naughty Dog.

    This wasn't a game to enjoy, this was a disgusting set of circumstances that a bunch of terrible characters found themselves. At it's worst it's just murder/revenge porn. This is arguably the worst game of this generation, and yet... conversely the most beautiful. I'm not even sure what they were thinking. Just a huge wasted opportunity to create something truly iconic and memorable.

    Instead, all I have is regret at the fact that I wasted money. Money that I could have spent on something more worthwhile.    … Expand

    The game does not match the hype or the reviews on the website. I wonder why such a phenomenon exists. I buy games based on reviews and the reviews are not honest. Just don't raise your expectations. The first game on PS3 was much better. Really fake reviews.
    Part II just destroyed everything good about the first Last of Us.

    Very nice graphics played by a one-way tunnel, zero innovation and killed what was worth it in the first one; In a game where the main thing is the story, you can't deconstruct the characters that everyone loved feeling forced, it wasn't worth it. I now sell my copy for $ 50 before it becomes known by word of mouth and not from bought critics.

    Graphics: Gorgeous. Music: Good. Gameplay and story: AWFUL. I waited 7 years for THIS?!

    As a member of the LGBTQ+ Community, launching this game IN PRIDE MONTH with such problematic storytelling is not only insulting, but a slap in the face. Making these characters as unlikable as possible, and completely ignoring the first game and everything that made it a masterpiece. TLOU2    Graphics: Gorgeous. Music: Good.

    TLOU2 seriously makes me question the narrative choices, and makes me wonder how in the hell this got past so many executives after SEVEN YEARS is beyond ridiculous. Don't waste your money.

    Fans of the series will not like this game, and "critics" will lambaste you for being homophobic or trans-phobic... well what about us queer folks who think the story is problematic and insulting? Don't have much footing with us, and actually shows how completely out of touch with what gamers really want to play.

    Neil Druckman should be fired. NaughtyDog should be ashamed of this pile of **** they put out.    … Expand

    Horrendous,just horrendous how they killed the franchise, there's nothing of value left here, everything is vile now: story, characters, gameplay, interactions.
    Just don't play it if you loved the 1st part and don't want to ruin your experience.

I know I'm not in the position to say it but, personally I see that naughty dog need to do some serous rehiring before they touch any title in the near future.

    This game is deeply transphobic. It features an overly masculine/mannish "hon" trans woman who gets lynched, and later brutally beats down and violently assaults and murders a lesbian couple.

That is insanely **** up and horribly bigoted and transphobic. Other parts of the game contain another trans character, a trans man, who constantly gets deadnamed and misgendered, and he ends up killing his own family; another transphobic portrayal.

    Sony and Naughty Dog have consistently censored anyone who tries to talk about this fact, including preventing reviewers from mentioning the entire second half of the game. Any leaks/info are taken down, censored, even memes are struck with DMCA notices.

    This wouldn't be so bad if the advertising made it clear that such transphobia and homophobia would be present throughout the game. But it doesn't. Instead the advertisements blatantly lie about the game, containing scenes that never occur in-game, featuring characters that are actually killed early on.

    It gets even worse as it features quite graphic depictions of sex, featuring the trans woman character, showing her topless and ofc without breasts and still looking mannish. Basically **** trans women. The director of the game apparently took part in the motion capture, presumably for this scene.

    I've decided to rate the game poorly due to the horrific and awful portrayal of lgbt people, and the lack of disclosure in the marketing materials; failing to note what this game actually contains. Shame on you sony and naughty dog. That's **** up. I will be boycotting both sony and naughty dog for the foreseeable future, until their views on lgbt people and women change quite drastically.    … Expand

    An unnecessary, needlessly bleak and violent game that does not earn its title as the sequel to one of the best games of all time.

    While the gameplay and graphics are stunning, the game cannot escape it's dependence on depressing, nihilistic plot points to create shock value, a factor which is swiftly becoming sour across modern media. Needless to say, this franchise did not need the sudden twists and violent peaks of Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead, and they add nothing but further negativity to an already troubled story It's difficult to say who this game is for aside from it's writer, but it certainly was not conceptualised to appease the fans of the story and characters of the first game. If you are someone who loved what the first game had to offer in terms of emotional highs, rich characterisation and a believable story, you will not reunite with those elements in this game. It is truly saddening to see this franchise be thrown onto the ever growing fire of modern day sequels. I can only hope that whatever personal and deeply pretentious reason for telling this story was reached for the creator. In interviews, it was openly discussed that fans of the original would not like this game. I think that goal was perfectly reached, and I hope it's creator was appeased. There are many excellent story and character driven games out there that respect their characters and audience, and do not rely on violence to reach an outstanding conclusion. There are also many games out there that capture intimidating worlds and harsh combat as this game does. You do not need this game. No one needed this game.    … 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.

    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]
