    This game user reviews vs critics reviews shows how much corrupt the journalism business is and this medium isn't away from that.

    Clear example of how to quickly destroy all the good things created in a previous title by forcing a fashion theme and pleasing minorities.

    The story is terrible, the characters are soulless and although the gameplay is good, this does not make the game better. A score of 95 is excessive. A lot of money must have been given by the people of Sony to the critics, because this game    Clear example of how to quickly destroy all the good things created in a previous title by forcing a fashion theme and pleasing minorities.

    Vou explicar para vocês Portugueses(Brasil e Portugal), sem spoiler.
    O jogo tenta te fazer gostar de uma ''torturadora e assassina'', porque pode justificar o errado se você entender o lado da psicopata. Olha a ideia absurda do criador do jogo!!!

    this game has been DCMA , censorred, scores manipulated, blocked by "paid for critic", the fans have been treated miserably....and has been given all the games awards in the planet

    this has been a huge 2 fingers from the press, developers, company, sony, to the fans, to impose their fake "morality and social justice".....

    70k reviews 10-10 are fake

    Classic example of a game based on movie and character design and great graphics over gameplay. Its designed more as movie than a game.

    Nearly everyone commenting is more bothered by story and plot. A casual audience that wants to play interactive movies. You dig your own grave naughty dog. If you Make movie games and pamper to a causal audience, your going to go down the walking simulator telltale route. Start making proper games again or go to the film industry. If real gamers wanted a movie, they would switch netflix on. Interactive movies are not the future of gaming, they are the future of film !    … Expand

    Артхаус от Дракманна мне не понравился. В этой игре настолько слабое наполнение и настолько великолепное оформление, что аж не верится, куда люди потратили столько ресурсов, да почему зря.

    It could be a great game if it comes out straight in a couple of years after first or after 20+ years. So why we got what we got it's very simple and hard. It's the cause of social media because it's very new features of the way how we share information, etc. But who is using almost everyone in daily basics and from all users how many are very smart and intelligent or incredibly dumb.

    As everyone should know, this game has a horrible history, where the writers treat in the most disgusting way their own principal characters. And the end is just simply bad dude.

    I expected the continuation of the previous game, but what I found was a totally different game, full of political ideals and indoctrination, lots of bugs and little action.

    If you wonder if the game really is that bad to be deserving a 0/10 (if you can even call it that, really tries to be more of a movie / walking simulator / interactive storytelling experience) - yeah, it is. The story is abysmal and illogical holy schmokes. Gameplay has been simplified compared to part 1, and there is less action of that simplified gameplay, too.

    No tengo queja en el apartado técnico y jugable. Pero respecto a su historia, tiene muchas incoherencias narrativas y no me gusta que me digan cómo pensar, por lo que no estoy nada satisfecho con su agenda política forzada.

Some critic reviews talked about how this is not supposed to be fun, well it’s a game it should at least be interesting, which it is not. It is neither fun or interesting. It is the first game re-skinned and thoroughly deserves a score of ZERO. This game is not a lesson about violence, it’s a lesson to never trust developers/studios ever again. This game is just a really long bad movie that doesn’t seem to end. You keep watching because you paid and made it this far, hoping something great happens, but it never does. Reminds me of Seinfeld, the game about nothing. Only difference is, I liked Seinfeld. One could imagine Naughty Dog has been trolling us all along, to build up their brand and our confidence, just to trick us in the end. It wouldn’t surprise me if this were their last game ever because there’s no way they bombed on accident, this was planned, like Jack in Fun with Dick and Jane. I swore never to pre-order gain but this is was supposed to be a safe title. Instead, they did me like Call of Duty before I swore off that franchise. The term that comes to mind is poor, this is just a very poor game. Instructions, sneak, murder, scavenge sneak, murder scavenge. It felt a bit like a home walkthrough, something may catch your attention here and there but uneventful for the most part. Getting away from the story is one thing but this story took zero effort. They could’ve made this game about revenge and still had it be good if they gave two sh!ts about the story writing. It’s as if they were secretly purchased by EA or Activision to capitalize on their last hurrah. It’s as if Ferrari decided to totally destroy their brand by putting out garbage of epic proportions, mind-blowing. It took 7 years for this?!?! I would’ve wiped my a$$ with the booklet if I had purchased the physical game and sold it immediately to mitigate my losses. Never again, fuc* u Naughty Dog.… Expand

    The game is a train wreck and a a disgrace to modern story telling. How can anyone except hardcore Sony fanboys defend this mess? I usually avoid review bombing anything but years of review bombing by ps fanboys to much better games has made me immune to 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]
