    I didn't enjoy the story, forcing fans to play a character that they hate and killing a fan favorite character that way eh seems like they don't really care about their fans. Games supposed to be fun with good purpose or a point at least. It felt like i wasted my time and was fighting for nothing. Everything seemed forced.

    This part is a disgrace to the first part which was a masterpiece in writing..

    When will they ever realize that shoving something down our throats will only give the OPPOSITE result .. shame

    I can't believe, that despite all the improvements compared to the first LoU, the story in this one (which is also taking way too long and multiplayer got sacrificed for it) can compromise the game so much, and not just what happens and triggers the plot, but how and when those things happen.

    Regarding the story of the characters, their relationships, behavior, motivations and values ​​- this is an absolute failure.
    Last of us has never been about tolerance, about attitudes towards minorities or about attitudes of minorities. Why in such a serious and adult story about survival and human values ​​demonstrate the agenda of tolerance - I don’t understand. I have nothing against minorities, they have a right to exist, but when buying Last of us 2 I expect a completely different experience because there is a foundation laid in the first Last of us. I am sincerely sorry that one of the best gaming stories has turned into a masculine and sick parody of herself.
    I am sorry for the money spent, and if the publishers acted honestly and showed me what kind of game really is, without embargoes and restrictions, I would not buy this game. Naughty dog ​​made a big mistake - they betrayed their players.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joel dies right at the beginning in the most disrespectful way possible. Avenging him would’ve been alright boring but alright but it tips you over the edge when you have to play as his killer and don’t even get to avenge him despite killing countless people and not killing his killer. The whole thing is so disappointing and definitely not a worthy sequel.… Expand

    This game is a different experience. If you just play games to have fun, this is not for you. It's a hard plot. You feel miserable most of the time. But for a game to make you feel that, proves how invested you are. And that's greatness!

    Игра провалила все мои ожидания. Купил её-прошёл.Сюжет неплох,графика тоже. Но, тем не менее... Политическая подоплёка уж очень была заметна. Тогда как в первой части ничего подобного не было. Вообщем-неуд.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t know where to begin, I literally feel hollow inside. I loved the first game so much and to ruin such a powerful game with part 2 is a tragedy. I don’t care that people say it’s their game they can make it how they want, NO. It’s for the fans and to kill off Joel with no meaning whatsoever is sickening. Yes he was a bad guy, but who cares we loved the first one for His and Ellie’s relationship. NO ONE CARES about a new character that you wanted to add. This game virtually has no replay value, I don’t ever want to believe this game and story is real. Like it make me want to quit gaming all together because I was looking forward to another impactful emotional story that involved Joel and Ellie. Nothing about this is fun. They think how unique and out of the box they were while making this game, but you destroyed a franchise. Regardless of how much money they make and how much critics rave about the game you failed the only thing that makes you a game developer and that’s the fans.… Expand

By the end of the game, Joel has been tortured to death, Tommy has become crippled and divorced, and Ellie loses 2 fingers and everyone she ever loved. Whatever hope and optimism you had from the first game was ruthlessly trampled. It's a cruel and nihilistic game and not worth your time as a fan.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game a few hours ago and taken some time to reflect on everything that happened throughout the story. I understand why most people have a problem with this but I think they are just upset with Joel’s death so early on. However the rest of the game plays like normal and is pretty incredible, I don’t think there were any really touching moments like from the first game but some scenes were very well played out. As for the character design and development it wasn’t the best but was not anywhere near as bad as people are making it out to be. As for the ending I heard from a lot of people it wasn’t very good however I thought the ending was as good as it could be with the story they chose to tell and there is a lot of things to look into in the ending which give the story some actual meaning.
    Is this Naughty Dog’s strongest game? No.
    But it’s no where near as bad as the fans are making it out to be and is definitely worth playing if you keep an open mind.    … Expand

    Gráficos bonitos mas falha o ritmo no jogo. Muitas vezes há que dar voltas pelo cenário até encontrar como avançar. Os combates contra os infectados são repetitivos e fáceis. Diálogos de adolescentes. É difícil que a história goste aos fãs do primeiro jogo. Tem situações muito forçadas. A nota dos médios está manipulada, Sony teve que pagar por esses 10/10.

    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]
