    It is not a video game, it is some sort of polical of social manifest, I guess. The main idea of this work is not to entertain me, but to agitate me. This is not permissible in art; it turns art into a dirty prostitute serving the interests of propagandists.

    Just like in the USSR, socialist realism with the following goals:
    The purpose of socialist realism was to limit popular culture to a specific, highly regulated faction of emotional expression that promoted Soviet ideals. The party was of the utmost importance and was always to be favorably featured. The key concepts that developed assured loyalty to the party, "partiinost'" (party-mindedness), "ideinost" (idea- or ideological-content), "klassovost" (class content), "pravdivost" (truthfulness).

They shove this SJW bull down your throats by making it what the non existent plot is all about, making the characters bland and bringing real life ' political correctness ' into the game. Then to top it all off, they try to get you to sympathise with the antagonist who killed off one of the best characters in modern gaming and ruin Ellie's character as well. Massive disappointment and is not worthy to be in the same series as the original game. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn’t think I was going to rate this game a 10/10 after I finished it but then I started thinking. If I could change something about this game what would I do different? Only 3 things came to my mind. 1. Less abby playtime
    2. A different ending
    3. More Joel

    I felt like playing as abby was becoming some sort of chore. “I have to do this in order to get to Ellie again” kinda thing. But this part also had a good side and for me that was Lev. I love to see representation and we got to know more about the seraphites which was something I was genuinely curious about.

    Then ending doesn’t sit right. If I was to choose I would rather it end at the barn with Dina and Ellie being happy together. The trip to california to get abby was kinda extra. Nothing was even accomplished just more deaths, Ellie losing 2 fingers and an upset Dina. Joel meant a lot to me. Especially as someone who considered him a father figure. The way he died didn’t so him justice.

    Now also mentions of things that could’ve made the game a lot lighter at times such as Ellie talking about riley at the arcade. But when I look at the overall picture thinking about the entire game I can’t help but love it. It might not actually be a 10/10 but it’s as close as something can get

    Incredible game. I don’t know why people are review bombing this game, I’ve read a bunch of these low score reviews and you people obviously haven’t played the game. The game is incredible.

The combat has also been greatly improved and the maps now add more verticality which helps the game feel more open and gives the player more ways to take down enemies than first game did. The visuals are just incredible, so many small details packed into this it’s truly an incredible experience. The voice acting is, of course, the best of best. Don’t judge this game off of a few cutscenes you’ve seen, there is way too much you miss to be able to watch them out of context and think you have an opinion. To the idiots trying to review bomb, don’t review a game you haven’t played. No watching out of context cutscenes is not the same as playing the game. Expand

    The only reason im giving this game 1 and not 0 is because the graphics are amazing but as a single player, story game there needs to be a good story. Im actually impressed they managed to ruin and completly destroy joel for a revenge story that no one will remmember.

    Es una completa basura , ojala no le den el GOTY solo por cumplir con na agenda política , ya que en gráficos no se le discute pero su historia manejo de personajes es lo peor que pudieron hacer con esta franquicia , una completa porquería

    The Last of Us is one of my favorite games and I thought it was a perfect self-contained story and didn't think that it required a follow-up. Nonetheless I was excited when the sequel was announced because it meant more of the characters I loved. But unfortunately this is not the case. The story is terrible and it spits on the legacy of an amazing game that is TLoU.

The plot is riddled with inconsistencies and illogical decisions which completely disregard anything the first game had built up. And all of it for no payoff at the end. Fans of the first game are better off passing on this one. Complete letdown.

    I have no idea how critics are raving about the great story and complex characters and handing out 10/10's because this game is complete ****

    Honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing. I prayed that the leaks weren't true, prayed harder than I thought possible. This disgusting excuse for a sequel not only spits on the masterpiece that the original was, but desecrates everything we loved about it to boot.

    Adding the reprehensible words and actions that Naughty Dog have pulled in the last few months only serves to make us

    This game is not just simply bad, datet, has a horrible story, bland characters that you cannot connect with in any level as their decisions will make you want to retire your ps early. It goes so far to commit the greatest of all sins a video game can ever do: it is simply BORING.

    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]
