    How unfortunate. This is an example of game utterly miscalculating its audience. Nobody wants to be educated on how to think, least of all at the expense of some beloved characters.

    The Last of Us was destroyed by SJW. Poor narrative and horrible ending. Keep your political views out of The Last of Us.

    The first Last of Us was a great story telling game, I could even say if some sort of apocalypse like that has happened that would how real life will probably be. The second Last of Us take that "realistic" and experience that a guy would learn after many years of fighting the unknown off. Also the plot twist that's not making any sense at all.

    This sequel does not worth your dollars. Stay off.

    The story is not good. Game graphics have no meaning. It wasn't a popular game because of the good graphics.

    I'm not sure what Naughty Dog were thinking here. Even with the amazing (yet very similar to TLoU1 graphics), they completely let players down. I don't mind the politically correct basis for the characters and their backgrounds, but the writing just destroyed what was left of the story and characters. Unfortunately I think this is the end of this franchise.

Don’t bother with this game it is very disrespectful to the first one it’s as if everything they went through didn’t matter Joel has a brain of a 3 year old all of a sudden Ellie is spiteful and completely different than the first game almost unlike able and don’t get me started e with Abby. Please people for change we need to make a stance do not buy this game save your money for something else I beg of you it’s a waste of time I will be going to turn this in tonight. Shame.… Expand

    This is a prime example on how not to tell a story here. Joel’s death should have felt way more impactful on how they were trying to do it as well as so many other characters that fall with him but once you get to the end his death is meaningless. This would been an OKAY story if Abby died but it wasn’t. All this was... is throwing your characters into the “ “fire” for what a part 3?!?!

They could have talked about side stories which further explain the tlou world such as Ellie's mun's past, Joel's and Tommy's and the two females' (i.e., Firefly's) past. But they decided to make a cliche revenge story which is not related to the tolu world except the characters.

    They could have given Joel and Tommy common senses that they got from years of dangerous life. But they decided to take away their awareness to dangers. They could have given Joel or Tommy a meaningful death. But they decided to give Joel a pathetic death and make Tommy into a useless naggy middle-aged man. The could have kept the cliche story generic but functional. But they decided to give it deep meaning, meanwhile, failed in writing such a script.

    I'm speechless.    … Expand

    Lousy story writing did not make up for the scenes.
    Virtually non existent character development. Joel, a veteran survivor, decides to go to a mansion with a TOTAL stranger AND introduces himself to them using his real name too? Seems rather contrary to what he would have done.
    In essence, this game is all about revenge. Boring revenge. The LGBT part was meh, but did nothing to add to    Lousy story writing did not make up for the scenes.

    I want to be very clear about why I'm giving a game with some of the best production i've ever seen a zero. You have to ask yourself why you would do that to a game that has probably the best graphics ever, best cut scenes, amazing art, etc? I've never played anything that feels as contemptful towards it's audience as this. Art is subjective, so everyone will have their opinions, but ifI want to be very clear about why I'm giving a game with some of the best production i've ever seen a zero.

Art is subjective, so everyone will have their opinions, but if you think that the first game is one of the GOATs, as I do, then if feels like this game just spits in our face with it's treatment of its characters. If the goal of the studio was to piss off its audience and make them feel a sense of nihilism, then they've succeeded in that regard, so maybe by their standards this game is doing what it set out to do, but after playing all night, i don't even know when I'll go back to finish it.

    The worst story ever, in any medium. The Room has a better plot than this. A betrayal to fans and the art of storytelling. It sadly casts a shadow on the game's technical marvels and makes you unable to enjoy them on their own.

However, TLOU2 could had have a great story if a certain character wasn't killed of disrespectfully and really way unnecessary too much plot relating to SJW stuff. Also the ending could have been satisfying if the score was settle just like a certain character who did settle the score to keep someone they love safe.

    Next disappointment is the game mechanics, the only improvement for the player is only the movement capability. TLOU2 still have the same combat mechanics and same stealth gameplay.    … Expand

Las temáticas son tediosas, y para gente de amplio criterio, todo en este juego es desgracia, una historia aterradora pero no en el sentido emocionante, en el sentido nefasto y falto de conciencia. Los que hicieron este juego son unos enfermos y no me refiero a el equipo de desarrollo en si, sino al capt'n crunch y a la mujer que escribió la historia, lamentable que juegos como este lleguen con una calificación qué no sea Adults Only.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Сколько же я ждал эту игру...
    И о боже, меня заставил переживать уже 3 трейлер, посмотрев который я начал сомневаться в главных героях (и новых в том числе) и в теме нового сюжета (которая совершенно не соответствует 1 части). Потом 4 трейлер... Я заволновался сильнее. И потом бац, утечка спойлеров, которые я к сожалению увидел. В них не было ничего хорошего. Потом обзоры от отечественных критиков, которые как один обсуждали одну из самых больных тем игровой индустрии, которая возникла в этой игре. И под конец я понял, что тут действително все довольно плохо. Теперь к самой игре: тут все просто ужасно. Один из самых амбициозных эксклюзивов имеет посредственный сюжет, устаревшие игровые механики и нудный, приедающийся геймплей. Даже расхваленная графика местами дает серьезные сбои. Уровни сложности сами себя не оправдывают, ведь если играть не на самом последнем, то вы считай в какую-то другую игру играете. Сюжет с самого начала мне не нравился, но я ждал, может что-то изменится, но нет, ведь в середине игры разработчики ее просто решили уничтожить, заодно похоронив то, что дала нам первая часть. Абсурдность второго персонажа переходит все границы, она ужасна от слова совсем. Ее присутствие в игре никак не вяжется с тем, что для 2 части действительно важно. Я не буду вдаваться в подробности, но плох почти каждый аспект нового сюжета. В конце отдельно хочу упомянуть аномальное количество сильных женщин - ну это абсурд, как их сила и навыки, так и само количество женщин. Так же решили уделить внимание различным меньшинствам, даже не знаю как к этому отнестись, скорее нейтрально, но будто вместо стараний над сюжетом разработчики старались раскрыть тему меньшинств. В общем я полностью разочарован в этой игре, ожидание которой полностью ее не стоило.    … Expand

    The gameplay? More of the same, and it's not necessarily bad. Graphics are good. The game takes a nosedive by having lost initial focus, and its laces with political agenda. I am sorry, the first game was a story about retaining humanity in trying times, even the DLC was excellent, but this just seems shoehorned and uncompelling and hell.

    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]
