I feel scammed and anybody saying they had fun playing this game is in denial and desperately justifying the waste of sixty dollars that this game is. Don't bother with this sequel.… Expand

    This was not art, this was just plain trash and the developers should be assumed of themselves for how they treated everyone with their agenda.

    This is probably the best game ever made.

    I feel sorry for Naughty Dog. Wish this game could be that good like the first The Last Of Us The Story is so bad that i've felt kinda exhausted after finishing it..

The scenes of kissing, f*cking, lesbian etc. were not needed to complete the story .. I have kids and I play around them all the time and I don’t want them to see that kind of stories at this age… Expand

    Gameplay wise the game is a huge step up from the first game, it's more intense and far more visceral, especially melee combat which feels meaty. Small additions like being able to go prone open up lots of possibly for stealth, being able to crawl under cars, lay in grass to avoid patrols really opened up your options. The game also feels far more responsive than other games going for this hyper realistic style, gameplay was not sidelined for realism. As with all Naughty Dog games there were also many amazing set pieces with intense action sequences that got the adrenaline pumping.

    Visually it's a masterpiece, the cut scenes especially were fantastic. The animations were just on another level, which made the game feel so much more realistic, the tiniest details were paid attention to and it made a big difference overall. The lighting, textures, shadows, character models and particle effects were all so well done, the developers didn't leave any of the PS4s power on the table, and they did it all without too many performance drops.

    The audio was top-notch, with industry leading voice work and some of the best atmospheric sounds I've ever heard, which helped the gameplay feel beyond intense at times, certain areas were legitimately terrifying. One small touch which I loved was the fact enemies called out names when you killed their friends, it made them seem more real, instead of just random NPCs.

    The story was excellent, with some truly heartbreaking moments and lots of little stories interwoven throughout. You got to see the other side of the story in a way that's rarely the case, which made you reflect on your decisions and made you ask yourself "am I the bad guy?".

    Overall The Last of Us II is a masterpiece, and a game you definitely should play, unless you have a problem with a gay lead, like the people review bombing one of the best games ever made ;)    … Expand

Last of Us 1 was a bleaker survival game, but after every period of hopelessness there were wonderful and touching moments.
    This game has NOTHING for stretches of 5-10 hours. This game feels like it was made by a movie studio trying to win an Oscar, but in the end NOBODY loves the game, not even the intended audience. People deem it playable compared to releases of unfinished games which plague the industry. The game is a slog to go through.
    Zero fun, 1/10 would not play again, and I don't think anybody will replay it for their own enjoyment.    … Expand

The first game will forever be one of my favourite games of all time, but this sequel is an absolute disservice to loyal fans. This was a story not worth telling and it was a terrible story. Such a waste of time and money. Just when I thought 2020 had given us enough bad things, this game had to come along.    … Expand

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has a good story telling path. Some complain about the linear gameplay but it is easier then the first game.

    Spoilers:
    Some people complain about it being SJW agenda; but there isn't very much. There is a lesbian couple that is tye main character, then you have a transgender side-character near tye end of the game. People assume from pre-release "leaks" that the protagonist is also transgender but the game does not confirm nor deny that. Based on my opinion, it would be impossible for the main protagonist to be transgender in the world they live in with no medical labs or medicine to take for transition.
    I don't like how the game ended. Im left questioning the reason for the "third part" and what lessons were to gain from it. I plan on playing a second time thoroughly as my initial run I had sprinted through all the enemy AI.    … Expand

    I bought this game without hearing any of the rumors that were floating around apparently. Started playing and just got tired of being beat over the head with the wokeness. After hours of being wokedified it tries to have a story only to destroy key aspects of past characters. 3 hours in I just quit. Anyone wanna buy it real cheap. No, for real. Like Anthem cheap.

    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]
