    This game is beyond disgusting. My 10 year old who played this had to be subjected to homosexuality. The destruction of man to make women look better to push an ideology. The whole game is beyond disgusting , I hated everything about this game. Great graphics ; horrible everything else

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think we should just consider that this whole story happened in a parallel universe and has nothing to do with the main universe. Joel is alive and nothing has happened to him. I think the devs should make a part 3 about the main universe where Joel saves Ellie and continue the story from there.
    The graphics amazing and the gameplay was decent but storytelling was not appealing and i mean it.    … Expand

    I really loved Joel and Ellie. The Last of us part one was the best game i ever played. I cried playing that game. Last of us Part 2 is a major letdown. Utter garbage. Character assassination. Stupid identity politics. Naughty Dog is dead to me.

    However, it's not characters itself, but how this games story is done in the core. It's a poor forced representation of vengeance, human violence, unmotivated decisions, gimmicky plot twists, bad character building, and it totally ignores all points which were made in the first game. It's hard to relate yourself to the characters, which your have no information about at all. There's not enough buildup to make players understand what's going on. Some decent, deep and really meaningful character conversations completely ruined by it's placing. Making it seem unnecessary and even ridiculous. Like a different parts of unconnected narrative shuffled and randomly put together. It feels weird. And that twist for a twist middle game part.. Maybe it would be better to change it vice-versa and start your game with that "twist". Wrap it differently. It would've made more sense in that case.

    It does not matter what Neil Druckmann intended to say, it's what he did. And it seems like a spit in the face of all the fans of the fist game, and even the newer ones. Simply thinking that people won't get the more subtle and realistic approach to storytelling does not itself make it true. Don't treat your audience like idiots. Don't destroy your own characters in a stupid ways, just cause you don't like them or they don't fit your new "brilliant story".

    And that leads us to gameplay, which were "significantly improved since the first game". But it's exactly the same. Sometimes it feels like endless walking simulator with looting and repetitive fights. There's really nothing more to say about. Cope that with bad storytelling and forced character building, and it almost feels like fillers, just to get the important message to "ignorant crowd". But there's no message. Nothing to make conclusion of. Nothing to change your mind. Just some scenes that intended to be shocking one, but again, with all said above it just seems like a bunch of nonsense.

    The only things that shines in that game is scenery, animations and characters look. Beautiful landscapes, good visual design. Graphics seems good, though it's mostly art style. No really big technical leaps or something outstanding. It's still blurry and grainy, but has decent lights, overall look quality and maintains 30 fps almost everywhere, which is rare for most of the console games. Seems that the team knows how to work with provided resources.

    With all that said, i won't recommend this game for entertainment nor for developing your point of view. It's kinda sad that so many hard work of talented people could be ruined by one persons vision. At least it did for me.

    TL/DR:
    So, what do we have in the end? Poor storytelling, bad twists, lack of character motivation, and their bad development. Weird resentment to the first game and it's values. Claiming to have a message, but instead providing childish, hysterical, flat and oversimplified representation of modern world view. Beautiful scenery and design. Good sound. Ok graphics, good characters visuals, animations and nice console performance.    … Expand

    Don't even bother buying this game, if it were a 3$ game then yes, buy it and play it. But 60$? Hell no. Do yourselves a favor and don't look at the critic's review because naughty dog just threw money their way for 10/10 reviews.

    It's a shame how you turn this game into a tool of propaganda. Your game is good only for critics ,not players .There is weak,boring ,uninteresting and garbage storyline full of propaganda.
    Only graphics are good , but certainly not the best.
    This game is such a waste of time.
    Shame on you Naughty Dog!!

    Naughty Dog could have made the story more interesting since they had potential but they just ruined what made the first game amazing in the first place. And Ellie doesn't even kill Abby, like what?
    Abby's father, the surgeon was just one of the dozens of NPC's you killed in the first game, so unimportant they even got his skin tone wrong. Real bad writing Neil. The critic reviews are terrible btw.    … Expand

    Thoroughly disappointed with the story. The IGN Japan got it right "uninteresting new characters burden the story, making Ellie's journey feel conventional and not nearly as captivating as the original."

    Pienso que no deberían de tratar de ser tan inclusivos en temas sociales actuales, pues se siente como si si verdadero fin más allá de querer consientizarnos y demás, solo lo hacen para apuntar a esas minorías y poderle vender su producto con mayor facilidad, no olvidemos que esta industria es un NEGOCIO.

    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]
