    I'm just sick of that obsolete gameplay. Lou1, uncharted 1,2,3,4 - how many third person clones are we going to get? And the social/political message of this game is absolutely destructive. Avoid this pile of garbage.

    Garbage.

    Mediocre story with limited character's development and pigeonholed growth. Too busy pushing its own agenda to realize that games do not need to preach anything to be good.

    Wait for a deep sale or skip this garbage.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the last time I buy a Naughty Dog game.

    Disgusting treatment of beloved characters - Imagine if the next Zelda game has Gannindorf kills Link in the worst way possible, spits on his corpse, and then forces you to control Gannondorf to hunt and kill Zelda.

    If this childish effort at writing is the direction that Sony is heading for PS5, then I will be seriously considering dropping out of consoles altogether. For context I'm a 43 year old man with a decent income that spends a lot of money on games and really do not like seeing what is happening with gaming at the moment. Get rid of these childish writers that do things for likes on Twitter and start entertaining gamers again.    … Expand

    Good music, great visual style. The average gameplay. But the plot is terrible, especially Abby's line.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God awful story, a disrespectful and poor sequel. Throughout the game it felt like a message of man hating as oppose to simply creating a good story with a strong female lead. Both Ellie and Joel’s characters were dishonoured and completely ruined. There’s a million and one reasons why this game is utterly terrible.… Expand

    The one thing Last of US was good at is the history and how it was directed. They throw everything away in this game. Graphics are nice, but that's it. Gameplay is dull just like the first game. Also, there is a obvious progressive agenda behind the game, which I don't think any game should have. Just imagine a game that support Trumps views, a lot of people won't like it.

    I have just finished the game and from my point of view it has been a very disappointing experience and I really don't care about a next game.

Also the relation between Diana and Ellie, which is central to the game, seems artificial, it is just there, with no explanation why do they like each other then they just do, there is no development, the 2 characters have no chemistry at all. As a story driven game it fails and it is sad. I won't even talk about Joel, it is ok to do what you want with a character but it could have been done in a better and more respectful way, it was just cheap shock and lazy writting (best example to compare with is SWTLJ) Unfortunatelly this game has entered the club of soulless entertainment media like the new Star Wars Trilogy, Marvel Movies, Season 8 of GOT, HBO Watchmen etc. What can I say it is just a game, even if we are disappointed there is no reason to linger, we should enjoy life more and be more careful when listening when someone tells us what to like or to buy.

    If you loved the original characters you will be seriously disappointed with this sequel.

If you really cared about those characters (like I did) then give this a hard pass. The level of narcissism shown by Druckmann is unfathomable. I cannot imagine how he was allowed to derail what could have become a billion dollar franchise. This game will be bought by many loyal fans and like me they will feel betrayed by the false advertising and the blatant lies that tricked them into parting with their money. Sure the game has pretty graphics and smooth game play but beyond that it is soulless. It desperately attempts to be clever by forcing you to commit acts of atrocity and then preaches to you about how awful this is... it’s moronic, patronising and simply fails on every level. The female writer that delivered the brilliant original had no hand in this utter garbage and it shows. I will never buy anything remotely connected to Neil Druckmann ever again. I sincerely hope that his career is over. Don’t waste your time or money, Ghost of Tsushima is coming out soon and then CyberPunk is following later on this year. My advice is to save your money for what are much more likely to be quality entertaining titles. Or if you really need an apocalypse fix and haven’t yet played Days Gone, it’s definitely worth a look, it’s the entertaining sequel that this game should of been.… Expand

    This game is immensely bleak, with the bright hopeful spots of the first entry being altogether absent. With that being said, just about 12 hours of the game are wasted on fruitless plots, and the entire story (potentially of both games) is rendered meaningless by the weak plot and dumbfounded ending. The way the developer changed the main characters for woke talking points has not helped.This game is immensely bleak, with the bright hopeful spots of the first entry being altogether absent.

The way the developer changed the main characters for woke talking points has not helped. The way they ended Joel and made his character stupid. The way that Ellie is portrayed to be the more violent one (kills animals) and then Abby is "all sweet" (loves the animals) is a complete joke. If you buy this game, try to return it asap. It's not worth the money you paid for it. If you really want to have it wait a few years for the price to go down to $5...and even then think hard about it.… Expand

    Story line - 3 out of 10. Seems like the story and characters were written by a completely rotten person
    The gameplay, mechanics, enemy types are great - 10 out of 10.
    It's pity how the work of many great professional employees Were disgraced by bad directing

    False advertising replacing a character from a trailer with another, forcing players to play as unrealistic unlikable character for a long period of the game. A revenge story that isn't a revenge story. With shock value for the sake of shock value. Telling stories that don't fit the world and very few new enemies. Too political, forced sex scenes.

    Absolutely cringe worthy the negative circle jerk that is happening around this game.

    I think this game absolutely closes this gen with perfection. I was left wondering how they managed to pull tgistoff on the ps4. It completely blows most of the latest releases on all platforms out of the water. The story.. The graphics.. The animation.. The gameplay.. This game is a must play.

    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]
