    A game that is mostly about story and charachters that somehow manages to screw those things up wprse than I have ever seen. It is not entertaining, it is not art, it is not interesting. All it is is a sad attempt to pander towards todays mainstream political agenda and it fails miserably at it

    The Last of Us was a story-driven game, part 2 is no exception. Unfortunately the story is the weakest part of the game. Characters act foolishly, and the game forces the player to act foolishly along with them.

    Un juego muy lento, demasiado narrativo, me parece que se trata mal a los personajes que conocimos al primer juego y que decepciona mucho, no lo recomiendo, es mas una pelicula que un videojuego.

    For such an anticipated title following the masterpiece that is the first game, Part 2 could not have been a more disappointing game to play. Imagine waiting 7 years to find out what happened to our beloved characters, only to be told a mess of a story. Characters we know and love don't act like themselves and makes poor decisions to push a narrative that hurt this franchise forever.For such an anticipated title following the masterpiece that is the first game, Part 2 could not have been a more disappointing game to play.

    This game at it's core, is a beautiful and stunning game that Naughty dog developers poured blood and sweat over, but the story and agenda this game pushes completely overshadows this experience. It is even hard to imagine a "Part 3" and Naughty Dog has really hurt their brand and Last of US franchise with this game.

    A good comparison is this game is like Star Wars: The Last Jedi, where the movie itself did extremely well in sales, but alienated the audience and that could be seen in the next movies in the franchise where Disney decided to cancel spin off titles due to poor sales. I can not, in my good conscience, recommend this game, and save yourself the 60$ and watch a let's play on Youtube.    … Expand

Compared to TLoU 1 it's total doghsit the revenge thing is writed so badly that like there is revenge with no revenge at all. I can't stand it. 7 Years for this? Are you kidding me?

    Fundamentally, 'The Last of Us 2' hates you. It doesn't matter if you're new to the game or a returning fan. It does not like you. It does not want to engage you. It insults your intelligence. It insults your sense of morality and decency.

    This story is one of the worst stories I've ever seen in video games. Characters in this game behave completely differently from the first game. Gameplay mechanics are really similar. The ending is just the worst and makes you question why you even bothered playing till the end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know what the critics are thinking, I too nayed the naysayers and went and bought the game and I now only wish that I had listened. I don't care for any of these new characters but we are being forced to. That isn't good storytelling. If you played the first game and read all the tapes you knew the fireflies are going to murder Joel because he knows too much, in the second game he gets murdered in such a stupid way. It is implied that in the second part that Joel murders all the doctors when in fact you only have to murder one as the game forces you but what choice did Joel have when the Surgeon comes at him with a knife. Talk about Retcon. The only good thing from this experience is I didn't spend a lot of money game on the game (Account Share) The only bad is I can't get a refund.… Expand

    Simply pointless. Violent for the sake of shock value. Characters and plot are disastrous to say the least. Gameplay is repetitive, boring and is filled with constant quick time events. The music score is boring. The graphics look nice but when there is no substance, what's the point? It works best as a tech demo rather than a game that is worth sinking many hours into.

A complete waste of time and I would only recommend renting it if you must play it (even then, there are other games worth your time). I would definitely not recommend buying it for full price. The narrative that the game tries to push is an example of how they were trying to do so much and could not even bother to work on the essentials which is the very core of the game.… Expand

    Borrowed my friend's game, since he can't get a refund on the game due to some silly rules exception. Played for few hours before returning it to my friend. The Graphic and the gameplay is perfect, but the story and the character development just make it unpalatable. I mean, the first one has great character and story, why is the sequel is this broken?

    It's like the creators of this interactive movie novel (that is being marketed as a game) tried to make it as bad as possible. Even the aspects where such a "cinematic experience" should be strong, i.e. storytelling are being abused to propagate the developers unrealistic world view and extremist political agenda.

    Also, clearly video game journalists get paid by the gaming industry.

    Next what is with the M rating for this? This is clearly not for a 17+
    In fact in many countries abhorrent material such as this would get banned for anyone to see.

    This website is great since it shows those issues in the industry for everyone to see.

    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]
