    I was completely disappointed in this game waiting for her and waiting for a masterpiece but got this something very boring and banal story dumber I think it was impossible to come up with. absolutely unnecessary lgbt line
    But there is this plus too - cool graphics and very beautiful locations and that's it!

    I really wanted to believe everyone was just overreacting when they said the story was bad, but oh boy I didn't know what i was getting myself into. I'm not sure why but it seems the narrative focuses more on getting "shock points" rather than being a good story. Characters you love will be brutalized, things that should make sense are done in the opposite way to break expectations andI really wanted to believe everyone was just overreacting when they said the story was bad, but oh boy I didn't know what i was getting myself into. I'm not sure why but it seems the narrative focuses more on getting "shock points" rather than being a good story. Characters you love will be brutalized, things that should make sense are done in the opposite way to break expectations and you are forced to go through them because the narrative says so. You often find characters doing horrible, out of place choices that force the plot to keep going, and in the end it does not pay off. Some call this game "misery porn", they wouldn't be wrong, the game does just intend to make you feel bad for the sake of it, even if it makes no sense.

    The gameplay is mediocre at best, third person shooter with very basic melee combat and low enemy variety.

    The graphics are the only saving point, but no matter how good they can look it does not save the game from its abysmal story and mediocre gameplay.    … Expand

It could have gone in a much better, and different direction if the deaths had more meaning, and a well drawn out conclusion to complete the series than all humans have good and bad within them. The graphics are amazing though 9/10. Gameplay is decent there have been some elements that have improved.

    Really bad. The first game was fun to explore. I loved finding all of the comic books and waiting around to listen to Ellie’s terrible jokes. It was a story about people trying to still be human in a post-apocalyptic world. I could connect with those characters.

Not only does the game make its main focus chasing after a newly introduced character after it kills the series's most beloved character, it makes you play half the game as her and force feed her story down your throat, it feels incredibly dry and frankly (on the writing end at least) like actual sabotage on the developers part. New players may find the experience boring if not slightly distasteful but i genuinely think a returning player who thinks its not blatantly obvious how the writers are toying with the players emotions and lazily throwing this plot together are deluded. In conclusion the cut scene at the end pretty much describes something that could have been thrown in at the end of the first game and maybe made sense but in the context of this game just describes how much better we would have felt if they had just left it alone.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers! Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled.

    Let me start off by saying they killed the main and one of the most beloved character in the game with the first two hours and you only play as Joel for 5 minutes!!!! Thanks Naughty Dog, you know how to make people happy! I also got the impression they we're trying to make Joel out as this bad guy, I didn't like that. Deep down we all know Joel was a great person. Then they make you play this person called Abby after she kills Joel! I didnt care for her character,I didn't care about her story. I cared about Joel and Ellie's story that's what I waited seven years for this is what happens when you give Neil druckman full control of the game! Plus to make us play as Abby and make us almost kill Ellie! Man that got my blood boiling. Why make your fans go through this I don't understand, are you a so sick deranged person man? The best part of the game were the flashbacks with Ellie and Joel and the graphics. The story was horrible and you're lucky I'm giving it to Stars instead of a zero but I understand a lot of people went through a lot of **** making this game. But, maybe just maybe if you would have Joel go out another way people maybe we would appreciate it game more. This is a spit in the face to me and to true fans of this game. Now the ending was horrible, we get no satisfaction and everything we go all through with are these emotions are for nothing and to have Ellie be all alone and have nothing left in the end is total BS! These are my opinions about the game and does not mean you will feel the same as me. But, you might enjoy it. But for me, I didn't and I encourage you all to play it and have your own experience and judgement.    … Expand

    Lo único salvable del juego es el gameplay innovador respecto a la primera entrega y algunos momentos de Ellie con Joel.
    Es triste ver que la ideología de lo políticamente correcto arruinó el legado del primer juego, nadie tenía problemas con que Ellie sea lesbiana pero no hacía falta hacer que la historia gire en base a eso.

    It has amazing graphics decent gameplay but hardly any innovation in the gameplay mechanics to set it apart from the first game but the story is awfully it just a boring tired tale that been told a lot of times already and it dosent even execute the story well.

    It's bad enough that as a mature male adult I have no playable characters to draw me into this game,
    and not allowing me to easily skip through the horrendously boring Teenage lesbian woke scenes is simply unforgivable.

    Unfortunately, this is not at the same level as TLOU, no real update in graphics or gameplay as you would expect from a 2020 sequel.

I've finished the game now and to be honest I did not enjoy myself even half as much as I expected based on the first title. It left me feeling...Disappointed, dirty, and sad and at times even a little upset. :(

    For clarity, I did know about the way Naughty Dog and Sony had been acting like a child having a tantrum. They went and tattled to teacher with Youtubers and Twitter users, getting accounts closed/struck (the worst being over a meme...pathetic) so maybe that coloured my perception.

    In conclusion, I think I will be extremely wary of Naughty dog in the future, I thank them for TLOU 1 which I loved but this left a sour taste and tbh I'm likely to look at the Xbox rather than Sony for my next gen in the hope they will act more like adults. :(    … 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]
