    I'm sick of this SJW degeneracy crap! TLOU was once a timeless classic, now obliterated by smut peddling. The developers should be ashamed of themselves. Throw this excuse of a game into the trash pile of gaming history where it belongs.

    To quote the great Reggie Fils Aime, "If it's not fun, why bother?" The game is a slog, the writing is half baked, there's a self insert character of the writer that feels very masturbatory. It's just not good.

    I will not waste my time going into detail so here here is why this game is bad and indeed deserves a one as a score: Just imagine someone wanted to ruin all original characters, shove new ones down your throat and having them do the most unforgivable actions but then Uno reverse card it and pull the cheapest sympathizer tricks out of their butts like "oh look they save animals!" "Oh lookI will not waste my time going into detail so here here is why this game is bad and indeed deserves a one as a score: Just imagine someone wanted to ruin all original characters, shove new ones down your throat and having them do the most unforgivable actions but then Uno reverse card it and pull the cheapest sympathizer tricks out of their butts like "oh look they save animals!" "Oh look they pet dogs!" "oh look our character kills dogs and she plays with them!" "oh look she said she would die for a cure!" which btw is easy to say when you are not in that situation...I don't care if a character is jesus himself and made people walk again. You CANNOT redeem this new character(Abby) and the game desperatly tries to do that and meanwhile make actual main characters like Ellie act out of character and generally **** It doesn't work. The gameplay looks good but it's as deep as a puddle. If the first game had a bad story NO ONE would have played it. 1/10 I stand by that… Expand

    I really wanted to like this game.. The graphics are astonishing and really push the ps4 to the limits but i feel like while trying to force you to like the new characters they completely messed up the character development of the ones we bought the game for. Naughty dog had their focus and their priorities quite wrong with this one...

    This game is just awful. This is LGBT and feminist propaganda, not a story about revenge for a loved one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is trash. Not because of poor gameplay, or poor graphics, or poor animation, or poor soundtrack, or bad lighting, because these factors are not only substantial but in some cases (graphics, lighting and animation) extraordinary. The reason this game sucks is because of poor storytelling. Ultimately, what is fundamental in determining if this type of solo game is worth rating as great is not the gameplay or the visuals or the soundtrack but it’s the story. Without a great story the player has no motivation to engage in the game. So regardless if the gameplay is fun it is kind of pointless if the player has no motivation to play it.

    The story sucks because of the following big reasons, although there are many smaller, more specific reasons that I won’t get into. The first being: absolutely terrible pacing. This game takes no time to reintroduce previous characters and does not take the time to develop new characters in a way that allows the player to understand and empathise with their decisions. The main plot points which occur are thrown together and feel contrived because of the moral agenda that the developers are trying to push which is that revenge leads to a cycle of inescapable and immoral violence. Ellie’s new love interest is thrown in at the start and we’re expected to care about her just because Ellie has the hots for her. We’re expected as a player to want to fight alongside her and care about their relationship despite totally boring character development and dialogue.

    Which is the second point, although well acted and realistic, the dialogue is so painfully boring throughout most of the game and it is painful to have to listen to their cute little conversations when your only motivation (if you can find any) is hatred after they kill off the main playable character from the first game less than 3 hours in. When you are fuelled by hate and not the hopeful goal which the first game had, it can be difficult to listen to dina’s trash jokes and the two girls flirting while zombies and people try to shoot, stab and consume them.

    The third big reason has to be the disrespect done to Joel. I mean they literally spit on his bloodied corpse. I don’t have a problem with killing characters or “sad parts” in stories. My issue is that they kill this character so early in the game, using the most wicked methods possible and it is done by a new character that we don’t give a crap about. And you’re forced to play as that character later in the game. It doesn’t even make sense how they kill him. The whole of the first game Joel doesn’t trust anyone. He spots an ambush like an absolute pro, it was even used in one of the trailers for the original. He is not a man that gets led into one of these situations and yet he ended up there because the develops just had to kill off the men because this is a game about WAHMEN.

    And that’s the fundamental flaw with this game. Not that the female characters take the lead. Not that there is a gay relationship. The problem is that the developers were clearly so obsessed with representing those groups in this game that it completely clouded what could have otherwise been a great story. Their politics, their agenda, their prejudice got in the way of their ability as storytellers. It forced them to kill Joel because he’s an old white man. It forced them to make the journey about these two girls and their dull, underdeveloped relationship and it forced them to have the antagonist (who isn’t really even an antagonist) as a completely unbelievable female character that is either trans or an impossible occurrence. I mean, no woman has that level of muscle and if she is trans or genetically dispositioned, couldn’t you at least explain that to us? Why is she built like a bodybuilder? Is she on roids? If so, how did she get them during an apocalypse? Is she genetically deformed? How did that affect her growing up? I mean, please explain your insane choices at least. Anyway, I’m into ranting now. This game is a 4/10. 5/10 at a push if you love this type of one man army gameplay. Save your money. Replay the first.    … Expand

    The story of this game was definitely interesting to say the least, but it came no where close so the story of the first game. Uninteresting and flat characters made the story feel less engaging than the first game. Also, the game was very simular to the first game in every aspect, almost like it should have a DLC.

The story also felt much more linear and generally not as good as the first game’s story, almost like Naughty Dog let go one of the most highly regarded game writers and replaced her with someone who had no idea what they were doing(thats what happened). Over all the game could have been so much more and its just sad that such a long awaited sequel was so disappointing. Oh how the mighty have fallen.… Expand

    So here is what I think: Pros: - gameplay - graphics - atmosphere - sound - music All those parts are undeniable very good. Its top notch. Sure the controls sometimes feel weird but they do in most of the games. It would be unfair to say this game    This review contains spoilers. So I got the game early and played it. I read or saw no spoilers before the release. I never do.

    So here is what I think:

    Pros:
    - gameplay
    - graphics
    - atmosphere
    - sound
    - music

    All those parts are undeniable very good. Its top notch. Sure the controls sometimes feel weird but they do in most of the games. It would be unfair to say this game isnt up to date in terms of all those points I mentioned.

    Cons:
    - story
    - character design
    - character development
    - plot holes

    So, even with all the pros this game is really really bad. It makes NO sense that Ellie act how she acts in certain parts of the game but that isnt even the biggest thing about why its bad.
    The reason is: character development.
    If you kill one of the most beloved characters early in the game (Joel) and want to bring in new main playable characters like Abby, you HAVE to bring WAY more backstory in order to make the player feel with her.
    I mean she KILLED Joel!
    How do you make the player like her? Bring more and more backstory before she does that. Let the players play 2-10h as Abby when she was a child or whatever. The backstory of her is basically told in 10minutes and then her dad is being killed. Thats it? And now I have to feel with her and understand why she killed Joel?
    Hell no!
    That is weak story telling. Really really weak.

    Then there are all the other new characters. Nobody is likeable. Like really. They all feel empty. They are only shells without any meaning.

    This game is just bad. Do yourself a favor and dont buy it. The reviews the journalists wrote are either bought by Sony or ND or are heavily politicly influenced. Sad thing is: because of that same journalists will most likely make this game GOTY. What a joke.

    Safe your money and buy something else.

    And last but not least: this is technically a very good game but the story/characters is/are SO bad it just doesnt matter how well the rest is done.

    You want a good revenge story? Watch "Oldboy" then you know how to make a good revenge story that shocks everybody to their core.

    This game right here? Its garbage.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I been waiting until I finished the entire game. I can say that is a good game, graphics, music, ambient, everything in the game is so wonderful, I'm impressed with the entire work of Naughty Dog. Taking part with the story, I think that is a good way to show the humanity in his entire point of view, because you can get there and try to revenge one of your loved ones... But it's difficult to make it, this game makes me think about and I love the final decision. The only thing that I feel so disgusting at the beginning, is the change of character at the middle of the game because restart my character progress and it forces to complete that, many difficult to get used with Abby, but at the end you can realize without problems.

    A must play, yes but I think you can wait for a sale, not with this full price.    … Expand

    Naughty Dog has once again proven that they're masters of PS hardware. Unfortunately, story driven game cannot be carried just by its look. ND's leadership has failed their employees and wasted years of their lives with this project.

    Makes me feel bad about the part of ND team that did a great job when it comes to presentation... but sadly, their tremendous work was in vein, this is unplayable, pointless chore filled with lgbt cringe. I own 700+ of playstation games, all ND games included, since first Crash on PSX, but this... makes me want to quit gaming. Refund.

    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]
