    The *** are they did with The Last Of Us Part 2?

    The narrative is poor, conversations between characters are really boring, and the plot / idea looks like was taken from Metal Gear Solid 2... But worst.

    Graphics are strange, in some areas of the game are good, in other areas looks creepy, is a disaster.

    The videogames press are STRONGLY bribed putting incredibles scores to this mediocre game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Why would they kill of Joel like that? He was a beloved character from the first game, if you want to kill him off, fine, but give him a real end. Have him die like a hero sacrificing himself to protect Ellie at the very end of the game or something, not like an idiot at the start of the game. It ruins the entire story the first game built, and TLOU is a game whose strong point was the story. Why, just why, ND?… Expand

    This game is an absolute slap in the face to the previous title. Everyone at naughtydog should be ashamed. The story is completely divorced from reality, pandering to flavour of the month "woke" politics instead of progressing from the original. This game will be forgotten, unless you need an example of the fall of a once great game. I got a refund thank goodness, sorry to anyone who couldn't.

    The First TLOU had a great story and characters which felt real and relatable even. Even though the game play and combat was not great, it did not matter because we loved the characters and their development and relationships. This games abandoned all that for nothing really. A real disappointment and a shame really.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredibly terrible story, literally writes the original characters into being morons and villains to push a narrative. That narrative being "revenge cycle is bad".
    They take this to an extremely stupid place, with Joel dying and Ellie murdering all of Abby's(child of an NPC in first game that golf clubs Joel) crew, only to suddenly realized revenge isnt worth it after Tommy is shot, she loses everything to include 2 fingers and already killed people far more innocent then Abby to just let her live. It then ends on a weird note that Joel is evil and it's better to let someone who murdered essentially you father live because revenge is bad even though you already killed like a 100 people for that revenge.    … Expand

    Propaganda and false agenda! Gross manipulation and brainwashing, very poor plot and screenplay. Weak and obscure motivation of characters, glamour and surreal post-apocalypse.

Joel is my favorite video game character of all time. My dogs were named after Joel and Ellie.... and after what I just watched happen... I don't even want to finish the game. 3/10 so far.

    Update: I've played a bit more, and the game is solid. Not much story wise, other than Dina taking jabs at killing "bad guys." There was a touching guitar moment, but nothing solid story wise. Gameplay and setting are top notch though. Up to 4/10.

    Update: Joel moments are well done, but also highlight what could've been. Up to 5/10.

    Update: Playing as Aaby is fun...is. 6/10

    Update: Just finished the game. My final score is an 8/10. I hated the story, the combat drags a bit, but the story ending wasn't bad. It was just depressing and not what I wanted. .That being said, I will never pick the game up again, and it was so manipulative that I won't buy another PS4 title and I'm trading in my PS4. I'll be buying a Nintendo Switch and play actual games with the intent to have fun. Incredibly depressing experience that killed my love for the medium. So they did a good job I guess, if I feel that strongly.

    The Disney Star Wars failure of video games. No one who was an actual fan the original likes this one and the only people who defend it are the worse political types who never actually cared for the game itself.

I felt like I was forcing myself to play this because I had bought it, but gave up 6 hours in and returned it.

    Programmers 5/10

    The games media critic scores are simply championing the political stance the game takes. The fact that this game is rated higher than classics like God of War, Doom Eternal, or Bloodborne frankly only serves to undermine games journalism down to simply a meme.

There are several weird decisions, a lot of characters that don't act as they would have acted on the first game, some lies in the trailers (in 2018 Neil Druckmann stated only Ellie was a playable character, this is not true, one trailer shows Joel telling Ellie that ge wasn't going to let her go throught that alone, it's not in here), also they changed a character from being africanamerican in the first game to white in the second one (this feels weird considering all the efforts made searching for inclusion and diversity)...

    After the 12-15 hour mark I just wanted the game to finish, which is quite bad since that's like half way through...

    At several moments the game comes off as trying to be disruptive just for the sake of doing it

    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]
