    It's not about politics, the inclusion of certain minorities or even the gameplay itself, it's about how much disrespect a company can has to it's own creation, how much they can change it's characters just for the sake of it, to make a disgusting mess of story and suck at giving a valid metaphor.
    1/10
    Hope it dies in a fire and we never talk about it again.

    This is not a spoiler, I didn`t play the game but I hate the payouts to great gaming pages to get high scores. However, the first part have a interesting story and this sequel its an insult to all the players and fans. 0/10 indeed

    Oh my word. The only reason I didn't rate this a 0 is because of the graphics and the look and feel of the game. That's stunning, but the game play isn't great and the atrocious story line forced me to score this a 1. If you played the first game, DON'T DON'T DON'T play this one. The politically correct forcefeeding is sickening. My wife could not watch the game. She loved the 1st one. Horrible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the 2020 of videogames, starts great and kicks your heart out of your ass within a few hours. It's easier to blame the strawman of incels and gamergaters than to acknowledge that the game is extremely divisive. Same playbook as the new star wars trilogy and i am not here for it. Im an LGBTQIA+ woman, so no, this is not based on me being any of the buzzwords you want to throw out. A pretty game with a story that seems written for a creative writing class in middle school. Also the bad optics of releasing a game where you watch the man that you (Ellie) loved like a father get beat to death ON FATHERS DAY WEEKEND, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Im heartbroken for the characters, the people who spent years working on this, and all the fans who DIDNT see the spoilers, DIDNT read the users reviews, and BELIEVE all the outlets saying everyone who is rating this negatively hates LGBT or didnt play the game.… Expand

    It is disgusting! We keep receiving products with inclusive Sh*t. We are done with this kind of progressive crap. The story is just horrible, and you cannot kill the main character just because it will give you more attention to the media.

    PD: We are OK with LGBT stuff, it's awesome, but it is clear that it was forced.

    This game is nothing like its predecessor. The story and character actions make little sense. Sure, there is a bit of fun to be had if you ignore the story. Very unsatisfying. Also no multiplayer?? Unbelievable.

    The disadvantages of the game include the gameplay, which has not changed for 7 years; Non-plot NPCs (especially noticeable at the beginning of the game) arrived right from the beginning of the PS3 era; The gameplay becomes boring and burdensome after 12 hours; and a small list of technical and visual miscalculations, but they are so little noticeable that I will not describe them completely.
    Now about the story. The story is cliched and consists of stamps. But there is nothing wrong with that. And in general, as long as the story adheres to the cliche, it is adequate. Boring but adequate. But as soon as the story throws an unexpected twist it looks very strained. An unexpected twist for the sake of an unexpected twist, and spit on everything. And yes, excessive violence does not equal genius. The screenwriter is not Lars von Trier, not George R. R. Martin. There are also times when the screenwriter doesn’t even reach the Uwe Boll level. Into the account of the excessive SJW agenda. I didn’t see her there at all. And it seems to me that Naughty Dog specifically created a scandal around this. For me, if the game came out in the days of PS2, it would be just an unremarkable product, but in the era of PS4, it's just a waste of money.
    But shady, because a society has already appeared around the game that totally praises the ingenious plot, it can be assumed that Naughty Dog will continue to create mediocre games with what they consider to be an ingenious plot. And professional critics will continue to bet 100/100, for the sake of receiving Playstation money.    … Expand

    Graphics are good as expected from a Naughty Dog game, game play is similar to the first one but my god the characters are bad and make stupid decisions.
    Also god awful story and destroys everything the first game built. Apparently it's a Must play game - what a joke it's a waste of money and precious time. I will definitely be returning this game and get my money's worth.

    The game is boring, the only thing they improved from the firs one is the graphics, everything else is the same or worse and dont even let me begin with the story, the lack of good characters made it feel empty and i just couldnt empathise with anyone. I feel sorry for the poor designers that did such a good job in the graphics but the story and the gameplay is awfull, not recomendable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:
    -Game looks wonderful
    -Atmosphere is nice
    -That's it

    The game takes the story that TLOU worked well to make and just **** on it, it lies to the fans about Joel, It lies about Ellie being the only playable character, makes you play as Abby but doesn't give you any excuse to like her, just inserts her in as Joel's killer, no of the other characters give you any reason to like them. Ellie completely changes from what she was in TLOU, some of her decisions don't even make any sense when compared to who she was in TLOU even if she's "grown up| and speaking of Grown up, there's almost ten to none character development, whatever character development there was, must have been hidden under its just terrible story. The ending is even more ass then the story itself. Its a story about revenge.

    The gameplay; its nothing, it does little to improve upon the first game's gameplay and just seems like the most basics of a combat system, its nothing special but is functional and decent enough where you can at least kill enemies without any issue; too bad that game constantly tries to shame you for doing the most basic of actions that almost all games share; Killing enemies in order to progress and survive. It does so without impunity and generally just makes it unfun. The upgrade system isn't anything either, again, its just one of the most basic things implemented in that is just functional and decent enough that you can use it without issue, only real flavor to it is watching the gun/weapons be taken apart a little but even that is shallow compared to even some older games with a more advanced upgrade system that runs on less powerful consoles and systems. The stealth is pretty bare-bones as well and runs just like your traditional "hey there's stealth in this game too, so yeah" type of games, sure, I'll admit, the dogs do provide uniqueness to it with being able to sniff you out and lead their owners too you needing you to make a quick decision on killing the dog and their owner too, but again, that's rather bare-bones since that's a situation that pops up in games with any resemblance of a stealth system and still occurs in games with even arguably better stealth systems, hell, even in MGS and Splinter Cell you still run into those scenarios with the enemies just simply following their basic patrol routes. Speaking of enemies; the AI has improved, kind of, from previously TLOU, but is still rather stupid. The human enemies in my honest opinion are just zombies with guns capable of sounding human and thats it.

    ND has falsely advertised this game. They took what the first game created and burnt it, stabbed it, stomped it and beat it into the dirt then tried to stick it back up. Just because your first game does well, doesn't always mean you need to create a sequel, especially if you're going to trash it like what happened here. Also, who the **** makes a self-insert of themselves for a game they're making, puts it in, spits on one of the main characters they killed and then proceeded to **** irrelevant character we just put in that everyone hated within just two hours of the game?    … Expand

    and from the uncharted saga I feel very hurt for how the new release bash everything .naughty dog they have no respect to the fanbase, to the youtubers who gave their humble opinion.that they have all the right for the freedom of speech. which they demonized blocked and abused their DMCA power as a company.but above all to the characters that are not themselves are an empty shell of their previous.
    how to continue a sequel when you didn't need the last of us 2 .is a simple revange game that is graphically spectacular but its empty shell. The good

    photo realistic models of characters

    the diversity and density of the scenery The levels of detailed as we will remember in uncharted 4
    the light . the water . the sky boxes the bad

    the massive plot holes
    The extremely brutality violence Neil Druckmann's wet dream
    male to male / female face intercourse

    the nonsense ending that in the entire campaign you are waiting for at last to get revenge and you do not do it despite the fact that he slaughters joel with a golf club. shoots tommy in the head and leaves him crippled forever .he breaks both elies arms he or she beats the **** out of dinas without any remorse and almost cuts his throat off .bite elie's fingers off and the end ist no problem goodbye. lets him escape that's the end all for nothing

    Remember the talks with elie when we met the giraffes when we were hanging upside down and our little girl saved our lives on more than one occasion
    when she takes care of us he like joel loses a daughter but he finds and adopts elie the beautiful ending and the unexpected twist that's why the last of ous 1 was incredible a masterpiece not because elie was gay Because the incredibly realistic and well flesh out characters that seemed human an incredible story telling    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all the critic reviews above the score of 80 are all lying to you.
    Now then, to sum this game up, I would have to say that the game is glorified torture porn, with amateur levels of story writing. I would rate this lower if it wasn't for the very real possibility of my review being deleted.
    The game essentially starts out with the main character, Joel, from the first game being brutally murdered in front of you, the viewer's eyes, and his surrogate daughter. Then you're forced to continue playing as this psychotic monster that would murder an old man in front of her daughter, fast forward to the end, Abby, the psycho who murdered Ellie's surrogate father has been crucified for several days, and has been tracked down by Ellie. Now any reasonable person would assume that Ellie, the seasoned murderer set on revenge would finish the job and kill Abby, but instead she has a flashback about Joel, the also seasoned murdered who wouldn't hesitate a second to murder Abby if she did that to Ellie. Ellie decides to spare Abby for some reason, but then she has the same flashback about Joel and now decides she can't leave after all. This was a huge mistake because this psychopath who has been starved and crucified for days has the strength to obliterate Ellie, as she easily bites off her fingers as if they were baby carrots. The game ultimately ends with Abby sailing away scot free, Joel left unavenged, and Ellie's life completely ruined (Abby did a lot of other stuff to her like beating her girlfriend half to death. Ellie's girlsfriend getting pregnant and leaving her)    … Expand

    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...
