Another game that anita sarkeesian destroyed it with wokeness..... just stop this for god sake ....it doesn't matter if the women empowered or a guy is gay or eli is lesbian (has mentall disorder in my view)....it doesn't make the game great if you change the protagonist gender or do any **** stuff like this!!! just stop.....… Expand

    First of all I want to say the game looks beautiful and the level design is impressive that is the only reason I'm giving the game any marks at all where the game falls short is the story the whole story contradicts itself it's full of plot holes I mean how can you kill hundreds of people in your way who were not directly involved in Killing the person your seeking revenge for but then notFirst of all I want to say the game looks beautiful and the level design is impressive that is the only reason I'm giving the game any marks at all where the game falls short is the story the whole story contradicts itself it's full of plot holes I mean how can you kill hundreds of people in your way who were not directly involved in Killing the person your seeking revenge for but then not kill the person who is responsible for killing said person The game doesn't really offer anything new sure you get a jump button but it's practically useless you get a Dodge button which is a welcome addition

    The weapons don't feel powerful I mean at one point I shot an enemy point Blank with a bolt action rifle in the head and she just stumbled back not very realistic at all ,The controls felt so clumsy and aged When playing as abby I felt more powerful as her melee attacks offers some nice hand to hand combat where ellie with her Switchblade basically feels like a nail file and does little damage you can pick up better melee weapons for ellie but they usually break within 2 to 3 attacks it's like naughty dog wanted you to prefer playing as Abbey

    Even tho abbey felt better to play with While playing as her it felt wrong I felt like I had betrayed joel who Id come to love so much in the first game, is this what they wanted I dont know I cannot help but feel like this game would have been as good as the first if Neil druckmann wouldnt have destroyed the story I feel like he has lost touch with the fan base and gone too political Naughty dog was great when Amy Hennig was leading the way it's so sad to see a great game franchise fall this way    … Expand

    This game is just a big letdown and a disgrace! If you loved the first one, do yourself a favour and forget about this piece of trash. I'm still shocked how Naughty Dog managed it to kill off such a big franchise in just two hours, unbelievable!

    The fact that they could do my boy Joel like that already makes like a 4/10, and combine that with the horrible story and characters to get a nice 0/10

    The game is boring. The first part was much better, such a game Ubisoft for 2-3 years can do, TLOU2 was developed for 7 years, for 7 years it was possible to make the Witcher 4.

    Sony, you've been doing this for 7 years!

    The game is a masterpiece. Don’t listen to the people crying that Joel’s death wasn’t all sun shine and rainbows in a **** POST APOCALYPSE, don’t listen to the insecure and pathetic neck beards who are angry that gay people exist. The game doesn’t shove the SJW stuff in your face unless to you that means showing you anything that isn’t heterosexual. I am 12 hours in and the there was about three lines of dialogue where Ellie calls someone a bigot because they called her a dyke. Literally nothing else. If you are emotionally threatened by that, it’s your problem. The graphics: fantastic The locations: fantastic The combat: tense and thrilling especially at the hardest difficulty The characters: interesting and complex Anyone with a brain knows that no matter what this game doesn’t deserve a **** 3    … Expand

    Technically very good, but the story is an out and out abomination.
    It destroys everything that was wonderful and enjoyable about the first game and replaces it with a cast of unlikeable characters and gender rubbish.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are very good, however, just like any other game, graphics will not uphold a game if the gameplay and story are not good. The gameplay is similar to the first Last of Us game, and due to certain elements, the gameplay clashes with the storytelling, and thus the player loses immersion. And at times the motivation to keep playing

    What completely ruins the game is the nonsensical story and what they did to the characters.
    Joel, the protagonist of the first Last of Us is killed off within a few hours and is left as nothing more than a flashback character to refer to when needed to push the narrative. Everything he managed to achieve from his decisions are now thrown away in this game.

    Ellie as a playable character has many times clashed against the story's narrative. At times murdering enemies left and right through whatever tactics during the game, and yet becomes almost traumatized from one particular murder. At the end of the game, she has the opportunity to kill Abby in a final fight and yet somehow lets her go. The murderer of her foster father. And she loses everything in the end and becomes alone like she feared in the first Last of Us game.

    Abby by far as a playable character is the most hated due to many reasons. Her character design is the symbol of how SJW agenda wishes for female characters to look and act. A somewhat masculine female face on a masculine male-like body where no female sexuality can be seen. She does not even look like a girl and more like a male character. Her character is immediately hated due to the fact that she herself is the murderer of Joel. The story as the game progresses tries to shed some light on her character but it barely makes her less hated. Her sex scene is cringe-inducing and her character model makes it look like 2 guys are doing the deed with each other. Due to the her first act in the first few hours, players do not wish to emphasize with Abby, they will hate her, and they will not listen to why she did things. Her existence in the game isn't justified besides the weak premise of her own revenge, and it was achieved at the first few hours of the game.

    There are other questionable decisions done like one character having her character model look less sexualized by reducing her breast size compared to her real-life counterpart. And other such things that make the trailers from before nothing but lies.

    This game is a bait and switch, where the trailers lead us to believe that we would get another story about Joel and Ellie and their relationship as they deal with the theme of revenge. Instead, what we get is very poor storytelling similar to The Last Jedi and Terminator: Dark Fate where they kill off a beloved character for the sake of pushing the new "protagonist." All for the sake of SUBVERTING EXPECTATIONS.

    Inclusion is not bad, but it becomes bad when forced like how it was in this game. There were certain points in the game where this doesn't make sense to add. One such character proclaims being a different gender would have been fine in any other setting than a world that has already faced an apocalypse and even using it as a point for a story bit.

    Due to the ego of Neil Druckmann and interference from the "feminist activist" Anita Sarkeesian, the Last of Us 2 is a sequel that does not deserve to exist or considered even remotely canon to the Last of Us series.

    The leaks that came out months prior to the game's release were all true.

    To all who have yet to get the Last of Us 2. Save your money. If you were a fan of the first Last of Us, you will not like this game whatsoever. The game's storytelling is filled with plotholes, the characters are inconsistent and breaks immersion. It is a slap to the face to fans, it is a spit in the face of fans, it is a disservice to the characters we grew to love very much from the first Last of Us. All for the sake of meaningless subversion of expectations and SJW agenda pushing.

    Naughty Dog as it is, currently does not deserve any money for this game. Vote with your wallets and do not buy this game.    … Expand

    On the technical side, the only annoyance I've had to struggle with is some strange rubber-banding on the companions AI, where they block you from hiding or moving over certain areas unless, you walk far enough away some they are pulled to move then you can try and interact with them. The handicap options are top notch and more games should take notice on how to implement these options in their games

    The constant jumping in timelines and wonky rubber-banding companion AI makes a mess of a story that was great until 2/3 in. I don't care for the antagonists motives and nothing in my 11 hours and 38 minutes changes that other than making it a grind to push thru to see the rest of Ellie's story.

    I waited years for this game to come out. I myself was someone who defended this game at launch. I didn't allow myself to get spoiled when the leaks happened. I pre-orded this game the second I could.

    This pains for me to say but this game's story did not live up to its hype at all. I should've allowed myself to get spoiled but I didn't and I regret not doing it. I'm not going to spoil any parts of the game but all I'm going to say is that they removed a character in a rather disappointing and poorly written way. The game's story revolves around Ellie's revenge which is able to work. However, throughout Ellie's journey of killing hundreds of walkers and infected, it ends in one of the most anticlimactic endings I've ever seen in a video game. The amount of pain, loss, and suffering all for nothing because Ellie has a simple flashback. If you want to know what I'm talking about, go search up the ending for yourself. There is also a very unnecessary sex between Abby and a male but for some reason, there is a scene where Ellie and her girlfriend Dina are about to have sex but it fades to black instead.

    If you enjoyed the game, that is totally fine but I think we can all agree that the story could've been written much better. This game completely misses the charm that made the original Last of Us so special. Whats even more painful is that there is flashbacks of Ellie and Joel bonding that I enjoyed playing much more than the main story line. I feel there was much better writing planned out but Neil Druckman and Anita Sarkeesian messed up a lot of the story.

    This is why you don't pre-order no matter how long you've been waiting for a game even by what I used to call the greatest video game developers on the planet. You messed up on this Naughty Dog.    … 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.
