    A colossal disappointment of unimaginative story telling that attempts to explore the consequences of anger/revenge at the kindergarten intellectual level while using x-rated violence and gore. I’ve honestly never been more insulted by the in game narrative choices made on my behalf. There are humans on this planet that behave like the characters in this game.

    Плохой сюжет. Не реалистичные движения персонажей (особенно беременной)

    There is no question that this game is a masterpiece, everything is top-notch. I believe all the haters are just obsessed fan boys or they didn't even play the game at all.

    Very disappointed and ridiculous story. Fan been waiting for years of a new The Last of Us to play with Joel and Ellie. Who the hell want to play Abbie in the first, she might be okay villain to kill in the game but not as playable characters. Joel death was rush and leave bad taste for fans of this series. Not gonna lie the game look very beautiful but story wide it suck.

    good graphics and gameplay but the story is disappointing.
    Really expect it to drop in price because it's not worth buying now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really can’t believe what they did with this game, half of the game I was hating have to play with the bodybuilder, hitting Ellie with him/her (I don’t know, I don’t care).
    The narrative is awful, the story is really incongruent and full of flaws, they just destroyed the game to forcing the stupid politics into it, well done, never again I’ll buy a game of this company    … Expand

    I was very disappointed with what Naughty Dog brought to the table. This is not a hat trick game. You brought two out of three elements to make a great game. Gameplay 8. Graphics top notch 9 or 10. But your story line is poop and your plot fell out all over the place. I have literally scene fighting games with a better plot story

    I can confirm that the gameplay rocks but not nearly as much as the writing sucks. Not in a "I wanted something different," kind of way, but in a "I wanted something remotely competent," kind of way. It's really, truly, staggeringly, heartbreakingly, bad writing.

I'm not a bigot and I recognize that a lot of bigots are hating on this game for the wrong reasons, but there are very good reasons for why this is the most disappointing AAA title I've ever played. If I had to point to the biggest narrative misstep in TLOU Part II, I'd note that pain/suffering is not the same as character development, and that the best game designers in the world can't design around a fundamentally poorly-considered and sloppily-executed story. I'll leave it at this: if you played and enjoyed the first game, I highly recommend stopping there. I know I won't be playing Part III.… Expand

    So, The graphics for the console are excellent, as well as the physics in the game, the gameplay has not improved much: they added the ability to crawl and jump, that’s all - that’s all the positive points end there.
    Joel’s story was ruined, Drukmann forgot how Joel taught Ellie not to trust anyone, then, I think, you know. As for me, the game should not have had a political agenda.    So, The graphics for the console are excellent, as well as the physics in the game, the gameplay has not improved much: they added the ability to crawl and jump, that’s all - that’s all the positive points end there.
    Joel’s story was ruined, Drukmann forgot how Joel taught Ellie not to trust anyone, then, I think, you know. As for me, the game should not have had a political agenda. Anita Sarkeesian, with her useless opinion and criticism, ruined everything. When you enter the game and hear “chauvinism”, you cannot help but think about stupid propaganda. Chauvinist food... Ugh, Half of the game is played for an uninteresting character, to which the player is not attached at all. The whole storyline is merged, reminiscent of star wars, where the character’s only goal is revenge, in this case also unsuccessful one. People play such games because of the plot, and not because of the excellent graphics or gameplay, the rating is appropriate.
    И так,
    Графика для консоли отличная, также как и физика в игре, геймплей не сильно улучшился: добавили возможность ползать и прыгать, на этом все -, но на этом все положительные моменты заканчиваются.
    Историю Джоэла слили, Дракман забыл, как Джоэл учил Элли не доверять никому, дальше, я думаю, вы сами знаете.
    Как по мне, в игре не должно быть политической повестки. Анита Саркисян, своим никому не нужным мнением и критикой, все испортила.
    Когда заходишь в игру и слышишь "шовинизм", ты не можешь не подумать, о тупой пропаганде. Шовинисткая еда.... Тьфу
    Половина игры проходится за неинтересного персонажа, к которому игрок никак не привязан. Вся сюжетная линия слита, напоминает звездных войн, где единственная цель персонажа - месть, в данном случае еще и неудачная.
    В такие игры люди играют из-за сюжета, а не из-за превосходной графики или геймплея, оценка соответсвующая.    … Expand

    Clearly, this game is nothing if not divisive. I am not usually one to come to this site and write reviews, though the controversy, and even vitriol, found within the user reviews of the game have driven me to do so.

I cannot promise that you will like this game. The user reviews have made it apparent that many more people dislike this game than I ever would have thought. Despite this, all I can leave you with is my experience: this may be the most perfect video game I have ever played. There isn't a single thing about this game that I don't think is brilliant, all of it seemingly necessary to deliver the one-of-kind experience this is. The Last of Us Part II is a bold, risk taking narrative, more than most of the narratives I have experienced in games, movies, or otherwise. I blame this facet of the game for the split opinions. I see many reviews claiming that if you loved the story of the original game than you will hate this one, and I can only understand that to an extent. I view the story of The Last of Us Part II as a cutting, poignant, heartbreaking, brilliant, complex, and moving continuation of the ideas introduced within the first game. I adore narrative, probably to obnoxious degree, and is something I prioritize heavily within the media and art that I consume. Factor in recency bias, of course, but as of now, this may be one of my favorite narratives that I have ever experienced. Again, I cannot promise that you will love this game like I did, or even like it, but if you are a fan of the original, or just narrative-driven games as a whole, I implore you to not let the user reviews dissuade from trying this game. For my money, this is perhaps an unparalleled masterpiece that is not only a deserved swan-song for the PS4, but Naughty Dog's magnum opus.… Expand

    If I wanted to move ladders and throw bricks, I'd get into construction. This is definitely another attempt to get players to cope with certain social aspects that are just not relevant to games, sony or the 21th century.

    Would definitely not play it again.

    When The Last of Us Part II was announced I was happy to see the continuation of Joel and Ellie's story but apparently Naughty Dog has a nasty surprise for all of you.

    I refused to believe everything in the leaks and decided to play for myself. However, I was left pissed off by the direction of the story, the agenda-pushing and SJW BS Neil Druckmann thought was the right thing to do. Everything felt just so unnecessary, ultra-violence portrayed felt unneeded and overdramatic. Major characters lack depth and development throughout and at best they often act out of character and at worst they are shallow and boring.

    The gameplay is pretty much the same as the first game with very minor tweaks and the only redeeming qualities have been ruined by Neil Druckman and the involvement of Anita Sarkeesian. TLOU2 do not deserve your money. Naughty Dog do not deserve your money.

    The story of Ellie and Joel already concluded in the first game so why don't you buy Ghost of Tsushima instead?    … 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.
