    Did you love the first game? Then this game isn't for you.

    Graphics look great though, and we have the alphabet people in the game so :D WIN!

    Pretty boring nonsense that tries to be deep and edgy, gameplay is ok but nothing we have not seen before.

    Just to make my part, this the only way we can be heard. Disappointments from Brazil too, This game don't deserve 0 but is far from 10 I don't even bother to write a proper review. By GreyArlin in Jun 19, 2020 (
    This game is a mess, it wants to be unpredictable at the cost of stupid acts). Perfect definition.

The plot, which is truly the only point to play this game as the gameplay mechanics are insufficient on their own to keep people interesting, has some serious flaws. Like all thibga that have had politics inserted into them, the game suffers as it wages its war against its ideological enemies, forcing all of us to stand in the crossfires. There is a strain of unscientific radical feminism that consumes the game and tries to force you to accept its precipts. This use of the last of us franchise to push these ideological narritives distracts from the awesome gameplay and makes it a chore to endure. Many have been trying to return this game without success. Be careful buying this game: do not lose your money like i did.… Expand

    Extreme poor writing plagues this game with very uninteresting new characters and shallow character development (both new and old characters) which is all tied together by a generic gameplay
    The graphics are gorgeous, but that is the only good thing about it
    Don't waste your hard earned money on this dumpster fire

    I truly did not enjoy this game at all. I don't see how anyone can claim this game improves in gameplay f the original. It has several sections that are just painful and at best it feels mundane. A few times I started thinking about other games like "Hey this is like a Metro game without any of the good fun aspects". At times I could predict the dialogue replies because it was so trite andI truly did not enjoy this game at all. I don't see how anyone can claim this game improves in gameplay f the original.

    Most depressing game of all time. Nothing good happens, it is just violence and more violence. First game was also depressing but this is on whole other level. Also, all characters from first get Last Jedi treatment. Stay away from this, we play games to have fun not to feel like **** afterwards

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Is metacritic done trying to protect this game now? Wow. Bravo for allowing users to leave user reviews lol.

    Oof. What a mess. Loaded to the brim with agendas and what can only be described as "woke-ness" at the expense of the game and its story.

    90% of the enemies in the game are straight white males (the worst of them are crazy Christians, of course). Shocker. Dreary to the point of making BvS look like Sesame Street. Violent and brutal simply for the sole purpose of making the player uncomfortable. Some of the better things about The Oppression Olympics Part II are:

    Outstanding graphics - Absolute top tier visual presentation.
    Sound - Brilliant audio design

    That's about it. Gameplay is OKAY, its not bad, but like the first game the main draw here is the story and that's the problem: the story sucks.

    The characters do things that either don't make sense or are entirely out of character. Example: Joel lowering his guard and trusting a group of "I-hate-you" faced strangers and giving them his real name. Then they kill him. Yes Joel, the guy you went on an incredible, emotional adventure with dies like a b**ch early into the game. Unbelievable. Then you spend some time as Ellie, an 80lb girl that regularly overpowers 240lb, fully grown men. Lol. Then you get to play as Abby, the woman (???) who kills Joel, for a good part of the game. None of these characters are likeable. Not even Ellie. The soul of this series is dead.

    This is a game that revels in its ugliness and its misery. It delights in its portrayal of cruelty and brutality without acknowledging its repercussions. It prides itself in portraying the absolute worst in people, all the time, without end to the point of destroying any likeability that any of these characters could have had. It's bleak, poorly written, pointlessly violent and excessively woke.

    There's also a "love" scene between Neil Druckman's digital avatar and the "woman" Abby.

    I don't want to think about this game or about anything Naughty Dog might make in the future. Disgusting game, made by disgusting people. Horrible experience.    … Expand

    This game is **** vile. We went from extremely good pacing, amazingly well written characters- to suddenly punishing those characters for decisions they made in the first game, just absolutely **** unnecessary. TLOU was the greatest game in the last decade for me. This **** actually hurts

    I am exhausted after playing some of this game, so I'll keep this short.

    The game is simply not good. You spend most of your time looting or watching cutscenes. The looting is tiresome because you often can't go back to places after triggering a completely unnecessary door close, making it extremely frustrating for completionists.

    Considering most of the 'game' is cutscenes and not much action, you'd expect the story to be up to scratch, just like you would in a movie. Nope, the story is incredibly boring and uninspiring. Clearly written by a different team to the first game.

    The actual gameplay, and there isn't a great deal of it, is boring and sluggish. The controls just don't feel responsive. The combat isn't anything special and you're fighting mostly humans the whole game, and some undead too.

    The only good thing to come out of this game I'd say, is that it's now been made extremely obvious how bias the shill media are. They want their early review copies for clicks and views, they want their trips out, they want their freebies. If it wasn't obvious before, it is now.

    For me, The Last Of US's story ends after the first game. Don't waste your time and money on this one.    … Expand

    Oh my. what was this?
    First of all, how could you do that to the best part of the first game? Namely, Joel and Ellie. How could ND do that to them. Such utter disrespect.
    The main reasons I loved the first game, were simply treated like trash by ND.
    And the character that they introduced? What is this?
    The only thing I was thinking while playing was, is this some sort of joke?
    But no, it was real, and it was what they had intended.
    Immediate turn-off number one.

    Now, let me get to the story. Absolutely Horrid. What part one's story had as a story of hope, this utter mess had destroyed to become some sort of social justice public announcement. Again, I was instantly turned off by what the story had become.

    Now, the gameplay to me in the original was always secondary to the story.
    Slow paced, hide-and-seek, limited ammo gameplay. Nice, but not its saving grace.
    It is basically the same with few nice new features.

    Graphics are amazing as usually, but the disaster of a story and cringe cutscenes and agenda pushing messages won't save it this time.

    Highly disappointed. Highly Disgusted. Zero Points. I feel so cheated.    … Expand

What it looks like in this game is that it has brought unprecedented left activism in the history of games. Maria calls her husband an "ass". Enter marijuana freedom. They explore the case of Ellie, which could be something natural, in a forced and boring way. Disappointing to see that Sony may have entered the world of politics in its games. Doesn't she know that politics and games don't match, just as advertising doesn't match either.

    Avoid this game at all costs if you enjoyed Part 1. This is a bastardization of the characters you knew and loved. There are long and boring areas and several hours with nothing to do at all except search hoping to advance the story. But trust me on this, you don't want to advance the story. You want to request a refund immediately.

    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]
