    'Woke' up and smell the coffee Druckmann

    Good graphics and music = amazing atmosphere but I don't need the SJW narrative shoved down my throat. The whole story is a bunch of lefty cliches. Such a shame that it didn't follow on from the greatness of the first game and only 5 years on? Ellie looks a lot older than that. In summary, no where near as magical as the first game. I hope    'Woke' up and smell the coffee Druckmann

Seven years after the first episode, The Last of Us Part II is a true masterpiece, at every level : not only has Naughty Dog released a bigger, richer, longer and darker adventure, but its surprising story plays wickedly with the fans hopes, and question the very nature of roles, and what humanity should stand for. If only more AAA games could choose for such strong choices despite the consequences, the media would surely be more interesting. Released at the very end of the PlayStation 4 cycle, The Last of Us Part II feels like the definitive synthesis of this generation."… Expand

    Jesus, the story is just terrible and the new characters are even worse.
    Everything bad with this game (and even the company that created it) has been already said.
    A total shame of a game. Waste of money and time.

    This game was the brain-fart of the Niel Druckmann and Halley Gross. Westworld never mixed with LOU from the start.

    But what is most disturbing is Druckmann's and other's responses: reducing and mocking the fans, calling them haters, bigots and alike without a second thought instead of listening their true concern and issues with the game! They can be so ignorant and arrogant because of their previous successes, what exactly the players expected. But they were betrayed.

    But why is that a so successful studio receives only 3.4 user rating? It cannot be just because of some lesbian action, it is because they destroyed everything.

    Ask yourself the question: do you want to play this game because of Last Of Us or because you want to play the character Abby who destroyed everything you found dear in the Last Of Us?    … Expand

    This is a disgusting game, and not just because SJW is just out of hand and interferes with the narrative. It has huge problems with the plot, the game is just a dummy, the only thing that saved it is the gameplay, but playing for the characters was disgusting and unpleasant. All that the first part achieved was destroyed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The long swaited sequel to one of the best games of 2013. Druckman takes a golf club to the characters who you grew to love. They are completely wasted and spat on in Druckmans 1 man reign of terror on the male patriarchy, I mean sequel. I wont deny this game the credit it deserves for how visually oustanding it looks, especially in 4k, the world around you looks absolutley stunning. But unfortunately thats the only stunning feature that can be found in this game. A typical revenge plot line that is lost in itself with the 20000 characters that it introduces and tries desperatley to make relevant to an already established storyline. Closure was the one thing I was seeking out of this sequel. The first game ends with a cliff hanger that leaves it much to the players own interpretation. Joel lies to Ellie and we are shown that Ellie knows that there is something that Joel is not telling us. Cut forward 4 years we have Ellie who is much older and a lesbian. The only closure we receive is through vietnam guitar flashbacks of Joel and Ellie. The only thing I got from this game that has given me some sense of fullfilment is the 5 minute scene mid game where Ellie confronts Joel in a flashback where she forces Joel to tell her the truth about the fireflies and what really happened while she was unconcious in the surgery room. The remainder of present day interactions showcase a rocky and abrupt relationship between Joel and Ellie that is only explained during flashback sequences as you reluctantly force yourself to progress with the main story. The only slight glimmer of Joel and Ellie that we see is one other 5 minute sequence where Joel and talk after their fallout, where Joel tell hers that if he could go back, he would do it all again and ellie half forgiving him for what he did. Im not going to even touch on the ridiculous exposition and complete deviation with Dina and Ellies coming of age teen pregnancy lesbian relationship that was nothing but mundane and boring. 2 hours into the game Joel gets fkn Murked by Abby, a girl man who seeks revenge on Joel becuase Joel kills her dad... who was some random NPC in the first game and suddenly a sequels entire plot is spun around this fact ? This game is riddled with social justice micro agressions, but that isnt why this game is bad in my opinion. This game has very poor, contrived writing that is desperatley trying to prove a point to it's audience. Its forced and extremely unconvincing. This a very big step down from it's predecessor. What makes this all come full circle is that the message behind this revenge story is that "revenge is bad m'kay". A 25 hour stretched out story that could have been honestly 11-13 hours long witout losing its depth. The game makes an extreme U-Turn when we switch focus from Ellie to Abby. Abby is the Main Character of the sequel, the game has just forced this completely new and irrelevant character on us and is trying very desperatley to force its player to sympathise with her/him by subjecting you to almost 15 hours of cringe dialogue and character exposition through ill timed interactive set pieces. The big point behind this entire plot was "breaking the cycle of violence" now the problem that I have with this is, in your quest for vengance, Ellie single handidly murders a ton of people including pregnant women. You basically leave a mass grave of bodies in your wake but when you finally confront the antagonist, the entire 25 hours you have sunk into this garbage heap goes to absolute waste as the final showdown ends in a half assed fist fight and a moraly confilicting self existential crisis. You let Abby live and suddenly Ellie DeGeneres realises after months of taking names and torturing people that suddenly she can possess the moral highground by deciding after murking 999 people, that the 1000th person is when she wants to "break the cycle of violence". The one person this revenge story leads to, is the one and only person that is spared due to moral conflict.... Gameplay can never be the redeeming factor when the story is this bad. This game fkd up when it started implementing things that the community didnt want inorder to satisy those who don't play.

    0/out of **** 10, simp simulator. If you love sucking on Druckman's **** this is the game for you.    … Expand

    Avoid.

    I’ve never left a review for a game before, but I was so disappointed with this game that I felt compelled to sign up and leave a review. I’m a big fan of TLOU Pt1, so I had high expectations for the follow up, which probably made my disappointment all the harder. The first game was all about learning to trust and gaining hope in a world that seemingly forgot what hope is. In    Avoid.

    I’ve never left a review for a game before, but I was so disappointed with this game that I felt compelled to sign up and leave a review.

    I’m a big fan of TLOU Pt1, so I had high expectations for the follow up, which probably made my disappointment all the harder. The first game was all about learning to trust and gaining hope in a world that seemingly forgot what hope is. In the first game all the main characters, despite being opposite, were both likeable and relatable. From the hurt and weary Joel, to the full of hope Ellie.

    However, the makers of this game have decided that their mission is to “subvert expectations”. This wasn’t done subtly or intelligently, instead they seem to have gone to great pains to throw out everything good from the first game, and replaced it with some of the vilest characters ever, even if they wore the same name and faces. Honestly, Ellie would have made one of the biggest villains in any other game.

    And that’s not the worst part. The worst part is the game is boring. It appears somebody at the game studio decided graphic violence would add shock value and be “edgy”. Unfortunately the makers decided that if a little shocking violence was good, then repeating it every couple minutes must be better? To the point that it fast became totally meaningless, and then extremely boring. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind violence in video games, I’m also a big fan of the Doom series, but it is completely out of place here. In fact, thinking about it, Doom has a far better story than this dross.

    I’ve heard the game studio was trying to make people think about the morality of hate and violence, but it failed on two counts. Firstly the player has very little agency in this game, you have to do the violent / cruel things, or the game won’t let you progress, which separates the player from the consequence of the action. Secondly the game is so boring you could have hit me over the head with the message wrapped in a 2x4, but after the first hour I was so disengaged with the game I wouldn’t have noticed.

    I forced myself to make it to the end of the game (and I mean forced), in the hopes that it would get better. It never did.    … Expand

Improved graphics but that can’t save this. Plenty of other games with better graphics and story will beat this game with a golf club in the game of the year award to come. Id rate it a 1 over a zero because TLOU 1 was so good That I was still holding this with sentiment. Thanks for wasting years of excitement during this crappy year ND. Trash game… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Neil Druckmann should resign and never direct a AAA video game ever again!!

    What a pathetic excuse for a story... killing the main character that we all loved from the first game in less than 2 hours in the most ridiculous and morbid way, just to force an agenda down our throats! Who in their right mind does that?
    What's the point of painstakingly building up a character in the previous game that generated so much love and acclaim across gamers only to write him so badly out of character to the point that he's totally unrecognisable; then introduce a character that we're meant to care about after he/she brutally kills the former loved and understood character, despite the fact that he literally had just saved his/her life?! As if that isn't enough, we're now forced to play as this terrible character for what seems like half of the game. Total bullocks!
    This is the worst story telling and characterisation I've experienced in any video game... an utter disgrace of a release; especially in view of most of the shamelessly hyped up and obviously paid (with money, favours...) critic reviews.
    Why on earth does an apocalypse game about infected zombies prefer to lay more emphasis on lgbtq relationships and sex? Even if it was straight sex that should not be the focus of such a game, especially being a sequel to such an awesome first game that also had lgbt characters - albeit it wasn't the focus of the story and characters.
    Even the fan favourite Uncharted series with only straight characters does not have that forced narrative on the players either, it's solely about the story, characters and gameplay - not forcing us to be the disgusting villain and perpetuate all her/his unwarranted evil acts with absolutely no pay off!I've been a huge fan of Sony and playstation for almost 2 decades and this shambolic failure is almost unforgivable. #NoBotsHere    … Expand
