    It's understandable why so many critics were dismissed as homophobes or transphobic. So many in the gaming industry are embarrassingly desperate to prove how progressive they are.

So many in the gaming industry are embarrassingly desperate to prove how progressive they are. And beyond the contrived nature of the LBGT characters in the story, there are many genuine criticisms of this game.
    The characters are boring and Ellie is nothing like she was in the first game. The constant flashbacks become tiring to the point where you start looking for ways to skip them. And the ending is just so.... nonsensical and unsatisfying.
    However, it's stupid to gloss over some of the great parts of this game. The sound, visuals and enemy AI. The combat is good but hasn't changed much since the last game.
    I think the reason why so many people hate TLOU2 is because of how invested they were in the original characters. Waiting 6 years to see them killed off and replaced with bland NPCs has got to sting. But I've got to say that I was expecting it.
    I had fun playing it. But if you're a big fan of the first, I would probably recommend that you keep clear. You'll finish feeling empty and disappointed.    … Expand

    Every game has different aspects like game play, graphics, story and so on. This game is 10 out of 10 in every thing. Story of the game is dark so may be some people won't like It but giving 0 out of 10 is nonsense.

    Dont pay any money to get punched in the gut. That is some free advice. If you liked the first, the second is made to hurt you. Just rent torture p*rn, it won't be as twisted as what's in the game.

The story is told in a enjoyable way even though it isn't as deep as it would like you to believe. But what - for me - keeps it from being a masterpiece besides the obvious story turns is the pacing.

    It takes way to long and stretches everything far too much. After a while it lead to me disassociating with the character of the first half completely and just keep marching on to end it. Different to many people I enjoyed the second part a lot more than the first. There was no story ballast left from before. The second characters story - though as transparent as the first ones - had a lot of growth that was coming to her for a long time and was catalysed by the companion characters.

    The ending isn't great either. The final fight destroys a lot of what was narratively built up and then changes the gear back almost immediately as to make the whole struggle between the characters even more annoying and futile. There is nothing in the fight that should trigger the reaction it does, that shouldn't have been triggered before. Even both characters just silently parting ways would have been more impactful.

    tl;dr: With less obvious writing and a tighter pacing this game could have been exceptional. Now it's still pretty good though.    … Expand

    Truly a human experience. This game is a utter emotional ride. Dark, bleak, depressing, yet very human. Loved the ending as well. No spoilers but if you want a game that can really bring you in emotionally then you need to play it. Naughty dog were able to make a artificial world feel real and believable.

The game makes you angry at characters thinking they’re just terrible persons before showing you that they’re not that different from you and in their eyes you’re just as bad. The emotions you go through while playing are amazing. I just think people expected a whole other Joel and Ellie adventure while Ellie discovers the events of the 1rst game which in my opinion would have been a huge mistake because the same thing with a few tweaks always end up worse than the original. Best example is Terminator 2 and 3. The 3 is the same with a few tweaks which makes you think: meh not bad but it’s basically the same thing
    This game just speaks differently for everyone. I loved it because I was hooked and implied in the plot. Others were pissed immediately and kept going, refusing to change their mind so they missed the whole point of the game    … Expand

    Un juego muy precedible y forzado con la inclusión, aunque lo peor es la historia, la cual no es orgánica creando una pérdida de las ganas de seguir jugando por cada hora de juego que pasa.

    I finished the game and finally I could see the negative reviews. Reading the arguments of the people who gave an extremely low grade to TLOU 2 ... it's shameful. "Bad and meaningless story"? "Bad character development"? "Graphics only ok"? "Ending was a garbage"? "First game destroyed"?

    My god, the haters didn't play the whole game, or they're just prejudiced idiots who didn't understand anything about the game. Judging by the amount of negative reviews, made by users who created an account just to hate the game, I think they are just idiots ... By the way, why do some subjects covered in the game bother people so much?

    I won't go into too much about the history of the game, which by the way is sensational, I just say that it's not just about revenge or just killing, the game is much more complex than what people are talking about, because it's about people. Despite being heavy, it is extremely "fun" and good to play, and deals with important matters, whether you like it or not.

    Finally, it is not just a game, it is an experience where you understand and live together the feelings of the characters, much because of the incredible narrative and graphics. I finished the game but I'm still processing it.

    Do yourself a favour and don’t fall for the review-bombing bandwagon hate this game has received. Have the emotional intelligence to try to criticise the “protagonist’s” choices and emphasise with the “antagonist’s” struggles. Characters live and die in this game and the ending is heart-wrenching.

    It would’ve been easy to make a carbon copy of the first game where Joel and Ellie go off on some linear adventure and live happily ever after. What part II does is brave and daring with the plot and the characters, and it’s an unique experience I hope you do not miss.    … Expand

It requires a little open-mindness and to kind of forget the first game for a sec, I’ll admit i struggled to do this and about halfway through it was very hard to play. But I stuck at it and I’m glad I did. You are forced to see things differently and who or what you thought was the evil in the game really isn’t. A true masterpiece. Well done NaughtyDog!    … 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]
