    The story gets completely butchered and main characters destroyed in order to appease an agenda.

I have no problem with LGBT characters in a game at all when it's done in a way that makes sense and progresses the story. This was NOT one of those scenarios, this was done purely for optics and destroyed virtually every aspect of the game. Decisions made by the main protagonists made no logical sense what-so-ever. The beautiful graphics and gameplay improvements get overshadowed by an abysmal story full of plot holes, wanna-be-game-of-thrones-esque shock elements and complete destruction of the main protagonists while forcing an agenda down the players throat.

    Save your money, wait for a sale when this game is under $10    … Expand

    Waste of time and ruined everything. Naughty dog went against all the good things the first games had. The plot has to be the stupidest in the history of any writing ever in the world.

    Waited 7 years for my favourite game to get thrown into the trash. only thing stopping it from getting a 0 was the fantastic visuals and gameplay mechanics, other than that the story felt like a poorly written fan fic. (the flashbacks were the only good parts of the game)

    Picture, music, performance, details are amazing, but the story is crap. Naughty dog just ruins this IP.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Holy **** man. This game's story **** sucks. First ND bait and switch you into thinking Joel was gonna stick around the game only to kill him off in the first 2 hours by a nobody who's life he just saved. Not only did Joel and Tommy act like **** idiots, they don't even think that the strangers have ill intent. The **** was all that about not trusting people in the first game, then? Then Ellie. They turned her from a witty and likeable character into a sociopathic piece of **** killing and torturing anyone she can only to not kill Abby in the end because of a bull**** flashback. The only reason I'm not giving this **** show a 0 is because the gameplay is good. Not groundbreaking or original but good and satisfying.… Expand

    They should've known better than to do such a thing to a masterpiece like the world that was built before this installment. Highly disappointed, will be telling everyone who will listen not to bother if they appreciate quality writing in their games

I read hundreds of stupid comments such as, "I think that most of the hate is coming from the fact that Ellie is gay", "You guys are hating on this game purely because they killed Joel." and "I saw many critics on the second main character Abby, which is totally a fully reveal of the hatred against those women who have a body image which doesn’t fit the Standard norm...." I believe that if you enjoyed the game, good for you, I really wanted to enjoy it, but some story decisions presented here made that impossible. I want to first get it out of the way that from a technical aspect, this is a masterpiece. I mean the graphics, sound design, level design, and score. Now let's talk about the gameplay. I am very mixed on this. The gameplay on The Last of Us II is nothing revolutionary and barely does enough to differentiate itself from the first game, but the gameplay is almost always enjoyable and entertaining, only sometimes getting repetitive. Now the real divider, the story. I do not think killing Joel is necessarily a bad decision. As a lot have pointed out, it makes the world feel believable. But in the way that the game actually played out, Joel's death sucked all the life out of the game. The really bad: We should not have to play as Abby. I think Naughty Dog just though like, Joel killed Abby's father, so the players will connect to her, right. Wrong. Of course, Joel has done immoral things in the past, but these things are part of his character, and we love his character either way. The fallout of his death also caused one of the worst character decisions in the game, Ellie. Ellie is now a shell of her former self, she has no character and just kills the whole game. I just think that the premise of a revenge plot is not a strong pull for a game because the only way it can end is Ellie killing Abby. If not, then the whole plot will feel like it was for nothing, this was what happened. If Ellie had actually killed Abby, that would have been a bit better but it would have felt like Ellie had not learned anything and her character would have developed nothing from the start of the game. The side characters are kind of useless and add nothing to the story. I think that for The Last of Us II to have been a good game, the writers should have thought of another hook for the game. I think that most of the people are tricked into liking this, thinking it is a deep, dark and depressing game. Those things don't make a good game, a edgy game isn't necessarily a good one. Interesting and dynamic characters make a good game. I'm not the biggest fanboy of the first Last of Us, I don't hate this game because Ellie is gay or some idiot things people might say, I didn't have fanfiction that this game didn't live up to, I wanted a game that respected while still changing and growing the characters in ways that feel believable and true to the first game, sadly, The Last of Us II fails at every fundamental aspect of storytelling and while its presentation and tone is stunning, I cannot bring myself to give a high score to a game that didn't give me a reason to invest with the characters and story.… Expand

    I was bored for long periods of the game and couldn't be assed to finish it.

    The game has amazing graphics and the combat is kinda mediocre and feels like a game from 10 years ago. 3/10 Would not reccomend it unless you must know what happens but i suggest you just watch the movie somewhere on the net.    … 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]
