    It was as if in star wars, Han Solo's millennium falcon just wouldn't start and luke accidentally lost his lightsaber.

    It was extremely depressing, and had no resolution to that depression.

    There were pointless sex scenes which added nothing, NOTHING, to the story, and there was such minimal character development.

    The two words I can use to describe this game are unsatisfactory, and boring.

    The game is full of bugs and feels like a leaked beta copy almost.

    The developers should really be disgraced right now, releasing this aweful sequel to one of the greatest games of the genaration.

Como se les ocurrió desechar a uno de los personajes mas queridos en los juegos de esa forma por un mal personaje y peor que después tienes que jugar con ese personaje haciendo cortar la inmersión con Ellie y tomando decisiones absurdas, el mensaje de este juego podría ser transferido perfectamente a nosotros con otros personajes, pero es un mensaje sin objetivo, ya que la forma en que cierra la historia es absurda mente insatisfactorio, la jugabilidad es buena pero realmente te puede poner en duda si seguir jugando o no debido a la mal estructurada historia.… Expand

    While the game is indeed graphically impressive, sadly that isn’t everything that makes a game “good.” (Sorry to burst your bubble game journalists) the game is a sludge to get through and is basically a walking simulator for the first portion.

The game is also the dictionary definition of pandering. Many of the “progressive” elements in the game are only there to cater to Tumblr and Twitter users so the game would get a good reception on those websites. I wouldn’t be surprised if they also weaponized those elements to do what the Battlefield team did and say “anyone who doesn’t like the game are just racists and homophobes.” If you were a fan of the first Last of Us this game can and will let you down. Honestly this “game” would have been a million times better if it was a movie. If you can find a way to pirate this game or legally obtain it without giving Naughty Dog a penny I would highly recommend you do so. The way they treat their employees should not be condoned or supported in today’s gaming industry. It’s honestly a shame they went from games like Crash Bandicoot and TLOU1 to this atrocity. I would wait until this game is marked down to $39.99 to buy it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay, visuals and soundtrack are all fantastic. If this review was based purely on those it would be a 10/10.

    However, the story of this game is complete and utter trash. It would have been mediocre if it was simply about getting revenge and actually finishing it. It's so incredibly dumb that they force you to play as Abby for about half the game. When I had finally finished playing through Seattle as Ellie, I was relieved because it felt like a chore the entire time. I was expecting it to end in the theater, and for there to be some half assed ending.
    When I instead realized that I had to play through Seattle from Abby's perspective, I nearly quit playing. I took a break for a few hours and decided that I was just going to play it through since I had already bought and downloaded the game, and there was no way for me to refund it.

    Oh my god. Was that supposed to be entertainment? If playing through Seattle as Ellie felt like a chore, this was like being in a concentration camp. Did they really think we would begin to like Abby? The new character who murdered the best part about The Last of Us part one? They really gave us 10 minutes of backstory and expected us to somehow start sympathizing with her? Holy **** I can't even begin to fathom how this **** played itself out in the writer's room. What Neil Druckmann did here is without a doubt a worse murder of a franchise than what D&D did to Game of Thrones.
    And Yara and Lev? These characters are just worthless. I felt no connection to them whatsoever.

    I've waited for this game for 7 whole years, and I can't even describe how disappointed I am. I feel so god damn bad for the developers who did an outstanding job on this game in every aspect, only to have it be ruined by TERRIBLE writing. Also, the fact that Neil wrote himself into the game only to spit on the body of Joel is a beautiful metaphor of how out of touch Neil is. Everything he touches turns to **** The change in direction he forced on Uncharted 4 made the people who made the last 3 leave. He went so far up his own ass to sniff his own farts that he's currently inside out. It's insane. The absolute gall of that man, to come onto the development of TLOU2, kill everything that was good about it, and then spit on it's corpse. It's beyond belief.

    Everything in this game felt like a forced lecture. No, I don't want to play a video game during a global crisis to learn about how bad revenge is, and how it gets us nowhere. I want to avenge Joel and be done with the **** game.

    My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. Good job Neil, you ruined one of my favorite games of all time with your abhorrent writing. I don't even **** care about the LGBTQ+ characters, whatever. If you think it's a good idea to add more of those to broaden the acceptance of that, that's fine by me. I do, however, think you did that community a disservice with your abhorrent, terrible, utter horse**** writing of these characters.

    **** this story. **** everything about it. From start to finish.
    I'm hoping I'll wake up tomorrow and that this has all just been a bad dream.

    That's all.    … Expand

    Let's forget about the pandering SJW agenda, you want to have a diverse cast of characters? That's fine, however forcing it over and over and over instead of character development defeats the purpose when no one cares about the characters.

Certain characters just do NOT behaveLet's forget about the pandering SJW agenda, you want to have a diverse cast of characters? That's fine, however forcing it over and over and over instead of character development defeats the purpose when no one cares about the characters. What is inherently wrong with this story driven game is poor writing, character inconsistencies, and plot holes. Certain characters just do NOT behave like their previous selves from part 1. They do an awful job of introducing new characters, especially Abby. Could've had the audience get to know her more in order empathize with her instead of just forcing her on the audience with immediate hatred. It went from quite masterful writing in TLOU to downright amateur writing (think what happened to The Walking Dead in whatever season they're up to now but slightly worse than that even).

    Gameplay: not much changed besides some new equipment, ability enhancements, prone/crawling. With all this time to develop this game the new enemies and enemy variation is severely lacking, combined with poor enemy A.I. and oftentimes laughably broken friendly A.I. (for better or worse) results in repetitive scenarios and the best part is you can often sprint passed an entire wave of enemies, get to a quicktime event door and somehow are impervious to death and just get pushed into the next checkpoint. Puzzles have been oddly all but wiped out from the previous game and the developers added nothing new to replace the lack of puzzles besides more walking simulator. The camera often gets stuck and obstructed near walls/corners and the animations quickly get repetitive.

    Last but not least all these years to develop a game and no multiplayer included? The first game had a fun multiplayer I personally put many hours into and had my fun with. Makes it even more sad since they butchered the story so much their is no saving grace for this game.

    This game is pure regression is every facet of the word. AVOID and save your money!    … Expand

    I work at gamestop and we gave this game away for free because we over ordered but alot of our customer will not take it even thought its free. Now we have to recoup our lost by increasing the price of our other items. I hope the boss wont repeat the same mistake when ps5 come out.

    Graphics are beautiful, gameplay is basically the exact same as the first game, wich is a shame considering they had 7 years to improve on it, the story is definitely the worst part of this game, if this wasn't a sequel to the first TLOU i'd give it a solid 7/10, but because the story is a huge downgrade and the gameplay is basically the same i give it a 2/10.

    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]
