    I do not care if they include characters of any gender, race, color, etc. If they thought that this is enough to classify a story as good, I don't know what happened to them. The characters and their motivations are poor and throughout the game it only gets more absurd, basically destroying the strong point of what the first game did.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Still can’t believe DRUCKMANN have killed Joel, the best character of the decade. Saving from death the wrong guy leaded to his death. The next **** part is that we should play for the murderer who is vile to a player. Why should I empathize with abby? Because Joel killed her stupid father? Because she saved incomprehensible kids? WTF? I don’t care about her life. Druckmann introduces new characters and I can point only Jessy, the guy I really loved but he was killed too. This game is senseless cruelty to the characters of the game. Totally madness… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The masterpiece of game engineering, with the worst piece of **** game story. If you gonna play this game, do not play the part I. If you already played the part I, do not play this game.

    The political correctness things did nothing for this score, but the story is just bad as hell.

    This game made same mistake as "Spec Ops: the Line".... forces the players to do wrong thing without any other choice,blames players for doing that, makes player to confuse why have they done such hard works for. Furthermore, this game made this error with the two main characters of the previous title, Joel and Ellie. This makes the fans of previous title to feel their loved characters being treated very disrespectfully.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely disrespectful. The creators of this game took the previous installment and spat on it.
    Druckman had his way with beloved characters, and the scars left over will never heal.
    Killing Joel and then forcing us to allow his killer to live is unforgivable.

    This is not canon. Instead it is the fanfiction of a deranged man, hellbent on forcing his political agenda down the throats of unsuspecting fans.    … Expand

    Completely disrespects the last game, wasn't fun, would not recommend
    This game had potential, but the fact this game seems insistent on being misery porn and seeing needless suffering just for the sake of it. And the fact no character ever learns from any acts taken, the fact the game tries to guilt you for decisions taken out of your hands i am left asking, why even bother making this?

    Worst narrative full of plot holes. Nothing in this game makes sense, not to mention the forced agendas by the director of the game. Infinitely disappointed... So many years of waiting were for nothing! I will pretend part 2 does not exist..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Awful story, wasting characters, false trailer, and ruined one of the best game series.

    This game is a slow-moving car crash. WOW! How can such a reputable company miss the mark so poorly and completely dump on Joel/Ellie? If you loved what the first game represented, there's a huge chance you'll despise this game. Naughty Dog takes the things you loved about this game and just destroys the bonds between the two main characters to push a SJW agenda.

    I can't believe the writing and motivation are so weak. WHYYYYYYYYY!!!! This is so bad I can't even begin to share my disgust. I have deleted the game and I will be looking for a refund or a credit.

    When propaganda, politics, SJWs and Sark...sian pressure are more important than continuing with a great game.

    This is a prime example on how not to tell a story here. Joel’s death should have felt way more impactful on how they were trying to do it as well as so many other characters that fall with him but once you get to the end his death is meaningless. This would been an OKAY story if Abby died but it wasn’t. All this was... is throwing your characters into the “ “fire” for what a part 3?!?!

    Game has evolved very little playing wise since the first entry, graphics are top notch but the game itself is a lot of cinematic scenes way too many and the actual playing time you end up just walking a lot, puzzles are not very challenging, game is very violent and sexual, really hard to look at sometimes

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Сколько же я ждал эту игру...
    И о боже, меня заставил переживать уже 3 трейлер, посмотрев который я начал сомневаться в главных героях (и новых в том числе) и в теме нового сюжета (которая совершенно не соответствует 1 части). Потом 4 трейлер... Я заволновался сильнее. И потом бац, утечка спойлеров, которые я к сожалению увидел. В них не было ничего хорошего. Потом обзоры от отечественных критиков, которые как один обсуждали одну из самых больных тем игровой индустрии, которая возникла в этой игре. И под конец я понял, что тут действително все довольно плохо. Теперь к самой игре: тут все просто ужасно. Один из самых амбициозных эксклюзивов имеет посредственный сюжет, устаревшие игровые механики и нудный, приедающийся геймплей. Даже расхваленная графика местами дает серьезные сбои. Уровни сложности сами себя не оправдывают, ведь если играть не на самом последнем, то вы считай в какую-то другую игру играете. Сюжет с самого начала мне не нравился, но я ждал, может что-то изменится, но нет, ведь в середине игры разработчики ее просто решили уничтожить, заодно похоронив то, что дала нам первая часть. Абсурдность второго персонажа переходит все границы, она ужасна от слова совсем. Ее присутствие в игре никак не вяжется с тем, что для 2 части действительно важно. Я не буду вдаваться в подробности, но плох почти каждый аспект нового сюжета. В конце отдельно хочу упомянуть аномальное количество сильных женщин - ну это абсурд, как их сила и навыки, так и само количество женщин. Так же решили уделить внимание различным меньшинствам, даже не знаю как к этому отнестись, скорее нейтрально, но будто вместо стараний над сюжетом разработчики старались раскрыть тему меньшинств. В общем я полностью разочарован в этой игре, ожидание которой полностью ее не стоило.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Instead of following in the steps of its predecessor, the sequel throws away much of its character-development, atmosphere, and world-building for the sake of adding a playable antagonist. Despite early news promising the development of Ellie and Joel's bond, the latter is killed in the prologue of the game by said antagonist. Instead of naturally becoming a revenge story, the writers try their hardest to make the player emphasize with Abby - something incredibly difficult to accomplish if the player developed a connection to the protagonists from the first game. Characters close to Ellie die or abandon her unceremoniously throughout the course of the game in scenes that seem more reliant on shock value than good writing. Those who die are always taken out by Abby, and you'll occasionally play as her for these scenes. At the ending, Ellie saves Abby's life before challenging her to one last fight. Despite having two of her fingers bitten off in the struggle, Ellie gets the upper hand and is all set to drown the woman who has taken everything from her. With a brief vision of Joel flashing through her mind, she makes a disappointing decision to let go of Abby and allow her to get away. At the end of the day, Ellie is left with nothing. The player has gained nothing. Absolute trash of a 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]
