    We waited 5+ years for a dumpster fire. A good looking dumpster with forgettable characters and horrible writing but a dumpster nonetheless. What an absolute travesty.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the worst sequels ever in narrative terms for one of the best games ever made, the creators of Last if Us 2 shows us that they have no idea of the gamers and what they fell in love with of the first game. The character of Joel enabled us to feel with him and be part of his journey and care for him and his choices but the sequel just took him out killed him and made it an unnecessary revenge story where as it should have progressed the journey of Joel and Ellie on the consequences of his actions on their living evolving relationship.… Expand

    No respect.
    No consideration.
    Only self-satisfaction.
    Only narcissism.
    Game is pop culture. Naughty Dog was not aware of it at all.

    From a technical standpoint, the game is a masterpiece. The story is great too. Although not as good as the first one, it doesn't take away from it, if anything it improves upon it.
    Seeing the story play from two different points of view is interesting.
    Definitely would recommend.

    This is a game with a craftsmanship and production effort worth its asking price. Review-bombing this game is just the latest gamer-driven social media fad, and anyone with a bone to pick is giving it a zero like a voice crying out in the wilderness. It's actually not that bad.

    Are we sure Neil Druckmann didn't have collaboration with D&D? The graphics and gameplay look amazing and fantastic. The story however, offsets any kind of achievement and praise I have for the game. This series will always be known for its storytelling. Just this time around it's a pretty bad one instead.

How did it all go so badly wrong for The Last Of Us 2? Visuals: one of the few redeeming features, the visuals are very good, coupled with sound effects, the animations make killing enemies and such hold more weight than before. Motion capture of faces and lip sync are no issue, all done well as is the voice acting. Sound effects: Again not where the game faulters, the music; often ambient or acoustic is typical of apocalyptic narratives nowadays, for instance The walking dead series. Voice acting is mostly believable, and weapons etc haven't been lazily done. Gameplay: this is where things start to get a tad shaky, the gameplay is reminiscent of the first game a decade or more ago, it's not fast paced action, there's different pacing mixed between some exploration and scantily clad puzzle solving that's weaker and more basic than the first game. Mostly linear sections where you're encouraged to use stealth or distraction to move past or take down enemies. The formula though ok is a bit dated even with all the nice visuals and animations. Storyline: And this is where it all falls to pieces for different reasons. Firstly, what was the first game? An endearing father/daughter like relationship through a dark and hopeless world, with moments of humour or light shone in from Ellie and the few loveable characters. No agenda, no desperation to gain brownie points from certain social activists or groups. Just a story anyone can get behind and enjoy. What has this game done? It's for the most part distanced itself from that winning formula, no attempt to build upon or improve it, one of the most beloved of two characters feels the ramifications of this. The new characters aren't loveable and interesting this time around. The storyline boils down to a cheap soap opera, and the awful direction it goes, the cringe that befalls it, the destruction of a lovely chemistry between two great characters that people simply wanted to see built upon. It's all gone to pave the way for a social justice agenda, for the gain of brownie points, for multiple gay but somehow also bi characters with a bonus diversity character. And it's a colossal disaster. Sarkeesian being involved along with the questionable new director (Druckmann) were a big red flag, all but confirmed by various leaks and studio employees apparently being removed for questioning the bizarre story direction. There's also a distasteful and appalling scene I won't allude to for spoilers sake that appears to involve Druckmann (the game's now director) himself, or a very bizarre likeness to them; as placed within the game as a character. This scene also highlights Sony's appalling hypocrisy on censorship of more innocent nude in other titles, not even sex scenes like this. Then before the review embargo, 10/10 from already questionable journalists, with the knowledge Sony strictly prohibited much of the game being reviewed; namely the parts that players were worried about. But it turns out most of this was all true, and the game does have pretty awful, agenda driven story, that tries to hide behind the guise of a cheap revenge flick porn. The original game managed to make Ellie's sexuality feel very natural, no LED neon arrows above it, and not a main feature of the story and game, just purely natural design choice. This game manages to make every LGBTQ/SJW topic feel as fake and forced for brownie points and pandering, as Katie Prices chest. And it really detracts from immersion, throw in the poor storyline, shallow characters and somewhat dated mechanics, and you have real heavy fall from grace. There isn't even and choice given at key moments, you're forced to watch it painfully unfurl. The best option is to keep the memory of the first game and leave it there, don't soil it (and soiled it will certainly be) by playing this disappointment of the this gen of gaming.

    Verdict: Don't let this £50 disappointment destroy the great memory of the last of us 1, keep it's agenda addled and paultry story telling away from you, and maybe Naughty Dog, developers and journalists will realize this same formula of forcing unnatural elements into games for agenda's sake, will simply destroy a company.    … Expand

    O Jogo simplesmente te faz sentir coisas indescritíveis por palavras. Esse jogo é o mais próximo da realidade, coisas acontecem por acaso, o peso de uma morte está em todos os lados.

    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]
