    Yes, the story had problems and did stuff without thinking about how much we love and care about the characters but I still enjoyed the game and had fun playing until the end,(although there was a time in the middle of the game where I wanted to stop playing and throw the remote) I continued and kinda understood the risks the developers made..

    I am absolutely disappointed with Sony. You had to control the quality of your games, but we first got the Death Stranding and now The Last of Us: Part 2

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m not sure what the developers were trying to achieve with the numerous and obvious shoehorning of homosexual and trans themes throughout the game, but all it did was make the characters feel obnoxious and unrealistic. What’s worse is that it felt as if they were so adamant in pushing their political views that they felt it was justified enough to bury the entire framework of the original games story under the rug. However in the case of this game, they didn’t just bury the original games story, they trampled and beat it to death, as exemplified with Joel’s death so early in the game and being replaced with an unrealistically physiqued new character Abby.… Expand

    Total disappointment. I'm sick to death of these "cinematic" wannabe games that slow things to a snail's pace with the constant backstories and flashbacks and cutscenes. Meanwhile the gameplay is just another also-ran cover shooter that is mostly on rails. Don't believe the hype!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After playing this from start to finish, and not reviewing early like i’m certain some have, i think an average score is very fair.
    The gameplay is excellent and on par with its predecessor, the graphics are impeccable, the attention to detail is on another level also. If the story was on par with the original then this would easily be one of the greatest games ever made, unfortunately that is not the case. The big shock is not what ruined the story for me, it was a wow moment an i carried on, when Dina came into play as your partner it got very confusing as i could not tell who was saying what due to their voices being extremely similar, even with subtitles this didn’t help. Then you have Jesse (aka glenn from walking dead) boring as hell just get out of here please....thankyou.
    Finally when i thought it was all over it wasn’t you have to play the game as shehulk, and what i can only explain is naughty dogs attempt to pull a breaking bad on us and make protagonist become the antagonist, nicely done but predictable, Then the story goes off on another tangent whereby you make friends with who i describe as the One-Arm bandit an the last airbender, this part of the story seems wishy washy and pointless, its as if they struggled to think of what Abby could have been up to whilst Ellie was raising hell, the term wild goose chase comes to mind.
    The cherry on the top that really destroyed it for me and when I thought no, please no, no naughty dog, you didn’t just, oh my yes you did, was when they pulled out the transfender storyline, the lesbian love story was fine although a little awkward to watch at times. But when the transgender storyline popped it was as if naughty dog pulled down their preverbial pants and let current affairs/media/society as a whole slowly insert a 10 inch d1ldo inside them, If the game came out a year later I wouldn’t have been suprised if Abby was Black! I’m by no means homophobic at all but i hear about all this daily in the news, the last thing i or i assume most people want is for this kind of crap to smear its way into our beloved game storylines, theres a time and place an this isn’t it, Naughty Dog should try less to be “original” and please the mass population but instead try to please the gamers and the people who actually play the games.    … Expand

    Quelle immense déception après un fort bon premier épisode ! alors qu’il suffisait d’en faire une suite… qui n’avait qu’à être… une espèce de suite ! au lieu de se répandre dans un wokisme épouvantable qui a tout ruiné… sans compter ce féminisme hargneux et repoussant, très agressif qui pourrit tout le jeu, du début à la fin !

    Ellie, la si jolie Ellie s’est enlaidie, elle est devenue    Quelle immense déception après un fort bon premier épisode ! alors qu’il suffisait d’en faire une suite… qui n’avait qu’à être… une espèce de suite ! au lieu de se répandre dans un wokisme épouvantable qui a tout ruiné… sans compter ce féminisme hargneux et repoussant, très agressif qui pourrit tout le jeu, du début à la fin !

    Ellie, la si jolie Ellie s’est enlaidie, elle est devenue repoussante de wokisme, a perdu toute sa féminité : maigre comme un clou, décharnée, anguleuse : on dirait un zombi ! Quant à Abby dont on n’a rien à foutre, qu’on nous force à jouer, c’est une hommasse aux stéroïdes, une horreur de tous les instants, une brute ignoble : un monstre ambulant que le jeu tente de nous présenter comme… humaine ! alors qu’elle est le résultat d’une wokisterie éhontée et dégueulasse. Sans oublier ce festival de gouinasses tout aussi répugnant que le reste.

    Dégueulasse aussi, cette ultra violence, jusqu’à la nausée, une violence putassière qui n’en finit pas… tout comme cette histoire à la con, bourrée de trous et d’incohérences, des personnages illogiques et creux qui ne sont là que pour servir leur agenda, un agenda également donneur de leçons et prétentieux ! avec la psychologie à deux dollars, que tu le veuilles ou non, tu l’auras quand même, ce psycho-drame à deux balles.

    Et que de scripts, de QTE à foison… de répétition également tout au long de ces niveaux qui sentent le renfermé et le recyclage. Dire qu’on ne peut même pas choisir, car quoi qu’il arrive, on reste spectateur… devant ce salmigondis de jeu qui a eu les yeux plus gros que le ventre. Le premier jeu était efficace et simple, déjà très brutal mais cohérent ; cette suite est vraiment insupportable : on ne la finit que péniblement pour voir jusqu’à quel point, c’est de la merde. Et on n’est pas « déçu » : même la fin, c’est de la merde !    … Expand

After getting to about the middle of the story line and getting another perspective I started to understand the negativity in most reviews. And I sadly can't say that it was only for a little while that I was disappointed. I have since even stopped playing the game as it ruins the legacy of The Last of Us Part 1 (the stories i've heard). At this moment in time I will not be resuming my journey on there until some things have either been taken out or modified. In my honest opinion, a real shame as it really started of quite enjoyable, and unlike what some said I was even starting to build a connection to the characters.
    Naughty Dog if you read this, please look back at what you've developed and consider some changes for the better as right now there's a few things that I consider game ruining/breaking.
    Having said that, I still think there's a chance at redemption if some aspects are changed/tweaked (most notably Abby and the need to connect to her)    … Expand

В первой части это было намного более терпимо. Плюс сама игра как-то больше на стелс стала ориентирована, в первой части массовых замесов и эпика было побольше. Ресурсов и патронов стало еще меньше, хотя вспоминая первую часть, куда уж меньше. Идиотская система построения кампании, нацеленная на реюз ассетов. Зачем пилить разные уровни, если можно дважды пройти одни и те же. Хороший графон и анимации, отвратная дальность прорисовки. Внимание к деталям, перевесившее внимание к сюжету, в котором куча тупых и нелогичных моментов. Вся игра-сплошная чернуха с ооооочень редкими светлыми моментами( в первой части с этим получше было). И финал-это просто какой-то кринж. Плюс максимально очевидный посыл: месть-это плохо, детишки, поэтому не мстите мне на метакритике. Нил Дракман(с). В итоге сюжет этой игры не привел никуда, при этом перерезали просто тонну народа. Не советую эту игру, 4 балл чисто за графон, анимации и внимание к деталям.… Expand

    People criticizing the game for being "LGBTQ+ friendly" are buffoons. The story feels a little clunky and boring at times, but you can't analyze the characters' way of thinking in an orthodox way. It's the freakin apocalypse y'all, people stop thinking and acting normal. All in all, I had my share of fun and adrenaline. It could've been better, but I'm quite satisfied with the game!

    Never have I played a game that made me physically ill to just play it. I don’t consider this game to be canon simply because of how off all the characters of the game are. No one acts like themselves from the first. Just a big dissapointment all around.

    Gameplay was dated yet in the original, but here only a "too good" cable stands out from something significant in terms of differences and improvements. Plot isn't good and treats disrespectful to the original, fans, previous work of developers and divide the players. Huge waste of stunning visuals and hard work of developers.

I'm not saying the game is bad, however, the marketing and the articles I see online about it are are a bit infuriating since most of them do not seem to care about the game per se.

    One thing, most game developers that "try to be inclusive" seem to miss is that there have been strong female protagonists Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Nier, Metroid, Horizon, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and queer/trans characters in video games with options to romance them for decades.

    This "woke" approach is nothing new, nothing special and gamers do not care or want to be represented in any way in a game. What Naughty Dog did was a small inclusion of a group of people yet the game's makerting seems to revolve around the support to the LGBTQ+ community. Gamers don't really care if a character is straight/gay/trans/bi or something else, they care for a story and character development, much the same in the way of a book or movie.

    There are books or movies that leave you empty after you finish them, you're not always satisfied with the end but the problem here different. The feeling is quite similar to Game of Thrones' season 8 Deus Ex Machina that ignored character development to come up to an easy conclusion to end it all.

    We were expecting another harrowing experience of Joel and Ellie but got somewhat of a backhand slap killing off Joel in the beginning of the game for Ellie's "character development".    … 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.
