    The Last of Us Part 2 is a beautiful game with some decent game-play and lovely music and sound.

    On the other hand, we have the story and the characters, which have less personality than a golf club.

    This is not the sequel for LOUS We want, it’s not possible that they spend more than five years to develop such a shallow story.

    I thought The Last of us was an almost perfect game with a great ending. The Last of us part 2 makes Mass Effect 3’s ending seem amazing by comparison. This sequel never needed to be made it feels like nothing but a cash cow. Gameplay is extremely similar to the 1st with very little adjustments and the flash back graphics look worse then back on the ps3.

For example naughty dog implements a open world aspect of the game which works absolutely flawlessly. Exploration will lead you to finding various upgrades , weapons, collectibles, and cutscenes that give you some more background regarding the story. The gun mechanics also work really well as well. While the story could’ve been better, people should also make sure to recognize the hard work and several advancements that naughty dog made in regard to this game.… Expand

And the enemy is those dangerous toxic Christians. I don't know what Neil was thinking, but holy damn! I'm NEVER BUYING ANYTHING FROM NAUGHTY DOG AGAIN! This is worse than the last jedi, worse than game of thrones season 8!! This is just pure trash.… Expand

    I remember when i cried in the E3 reveal of this game, that happiness is all gone now. It's all about the writing.

Yeah, the gameplay is likable, the visual quality and details are gorgeous, but it really does not compensate the narrative in a game that have story and characters heavily as its appeal.

    Joel is emptied and used explicitly just as a plot device, the character and interactions are bad, with absence of a good development, there's plotholes, some scenes and dialogues feel too forced, the writing tries to make you sympathize with the main antagonist, which would not be a problem if did right, and guess it? It fails at it. The ending is the worst part of it, cause it just throws everything out the window, it's not coherent with the character, it's not coherent with anything, it's all forced for the sake of the message (and it could've been done in a lot of consistent ways.

    The game don't really have a "SJW agenda", but as a result of the previous talked bad character interactions, these things feel really forced and unnatural as well, take as example a moment when Ellie and Dina have sex. You can feel that scene is so unnaturally written and in a bad scenario. I don't think the diversity was forced, but it definitely wasn't handled well.

    The Last of Us Part II had a incredible amount of wasted potential, it's a spit on the face of TLOU fans and any people who knew the potential of this sequel. Neil Druckmann shows he's a terrible writer, and i would blame just him for this disappointment, but Naughty Dog is not innocent, manipulating reviews and false advertising the plot in the trailers. This game is not worth buying, unless you want to play it not caring about the story (which i doubt, it's TLOU).    … Expand

    The good: Outstanding graphics, some of the best PS4 can offer.

    The average: Gameplay, similar to the first one, it feels dated (very PS3 like) and while I can forgive ND going so conservative in Uncharted 4 because it was their first game on PS4, in this one it´s underwhelming to the point that some mechanics (like the "radar" where you can detect close enemies) just feels akward to use. The only innovation is a button to dodge enemies that paradoxily feels like a step backwards because it just makes the mele combat too easy reducing the challenge of some enemies.

    The (very) bad: The story. Clearly, the story it´s at the core of the game, and after watching the ending the only world to describe it is pretentious. I won´t do spoilers but most of the plot feels convoluted and lacks originality, reducing it to a basuc and uninteresting conventional revenge tale. The motivations of the characters are pure clichés and all of them lack real character archs (to the point that once you reach the ending of the game, most of their decisions simply make no sense. On top of that, the overall treatment of the narrative theme ("revenge is bad) is treated on a very oversimplified and even childish way, and to compensate for this lack of real deepness, the story constantly looks for a dark and edgy tone, including lots of violence and deaths of characters for shock value every time the script reaches a dead point (which sadly is quite often) but paradoxically, since all this characters are for the most part poorly written, uninteresting and pretty much copy-pasted from many other zombie films/games we all have seen before, it´s hard to feel anything for them besides indifference. You can see the game is trying to overcompensate for the underwhelming writting, overrealiance on chichés and poor character work by constantly telling the player what he/she has to feel and think instead of showing a story that naturally leads the player to feel that way. Also, they had a terrible narrative idea for the second part of the story that makes the whole thing feel like a chore. Clearly, the good reviews praising the great story of this game are either a product of people falling for the trick of confusing edginess with good storytelling or just people that wanted to like this game no matter what given how good TLOU 1 was, either way time will put this game where it belongs, and it will be remembered for being nothing but a pretentious sequel (if remembered at all).    … Expand

    The AI is so legendarily garbage you can pretty much just walk up to it at times. The story pacing is a mess. We are introduced to characters one after another with no time to develop any kind of feelings for them and they are killed off just as quickly. With such a rapid fire of companion deaths it really challenges the disbelief that OUR character just happens to be the chosen survivor of each encounter. Every attempt to make you 'feel' something or shock you/subvert your expectations is the dictionary definition of hamfisted. It's just all around a terrible experience that feels like it was authored by an 11 year old from fanfiction.net    … Expand

    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]
