    Trash. Absolutely trash. Worst sequel ever. It disgusts me how they could make such a great a game and ruin it.

    Clunky. Slow. Jump mechanics are appalling. Story mediocre at best. Why? Remove Neil from the studio.

    Sadly, this sequel is a poorly written revenge story, which tries force its message down you throat, too which it becomes cringe worthy.

Furthermore, the well developed characters from the previous game, acts totally out of character in this sequel, in order to fit a narrative. Unfortunately, this sequel destroys the remarkable achievements of the first game. Its some what decent game-play mechanics (maybe a little outdated) and breath-taking graphics, is overshadowed by how terrible the story is. Ultimately, they have destroyed their own franchise - a franchise once beloved and admired.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game did not give respect to the prequel. 2 hours into the game and we see our most loved character killed ruthlessly with a golf club. There are infinitely many better ways of killing off Joel but this game just chose to be bad. Joel also lost sense of guard which is not his usual attitude and this clearly highlights the weak depth of story-writing. The prequel attracts lots of people mainly with the story and the sequel should also do the same but the game just threw away hope for the fans. Also, the ending is just speechless. You got to play as someone who murdered Joel who was a father-figure like to Ellie brutally in front of her and when she eventually met her, she just forgave everything and just let her go? Are you serious Naughty Dog? I am really disappointed.… Expand

And when you actually go on a trip, first it starts raining, then the girl/boy you have a crush on tells you you're ugly and in the end you pee your pants in front of everyone.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It feels like an addon instead of a game. Without needing to spoil anything, it's an add-on where they decide to piss everyone off by killing some folks we care about. Remember The Force Awakens where Kylo kills Han? It's pretty much exactly like that. It feels like we're playing a fan made effort and the kids have decided to break all the toys simply because they can.

    The game is gorgeous, it really is. The problem is that it's so obsessed with discussing social topics that it feels like they forgot where the beauty was in the first one. The first one had more said by doing in silence than two characters ever really interacting. The giraffes come to mind - there is a sense of wonder and peace for a moment when the giraffes are found, and then the player can optionally interact with them which will cause some dialogue. Or you just ignore the giraffes. Or maybe you make the choice to observe them at a distance. The choice is ultimately the players about if they should talk or not, but the beauty is there and presented in silence.

    Somehow, this misses the point entirely. It feels rushed, which is strange considering how much time this spent in development. There was more in the scenes which was left unsaid than was said. And that problem carries forward to all the other aspects of this game. The social aspects are pretty much rammed down our throat. There no option not to simply "look at the giraffes" and instead we're forced to look. Instead of having a tender, caring moment in the presence of something we hold as majestic, we're forced to watch as two characters bang the crap out of each other instead of make love or enjoy each others presence. Frankly, the boat scene doesn't even make much sense, while we're calling this out. We go from a fistfight to... pretty much (forced?) anal sex. What happened? Is this rape? I was confused.

    The pacing problems hold fast through the rest of the game too. The formula holds almost entirely true of walk-shoot-talk and each encounter ends up blending into the next one. This isn't great - it means the locations are too generic and I stopped caring about the characters somewhere along the way. There's a lot of "pile of stuff" shootouts which occur along the way but aside of minor theme changes, they just aren't that interesting. But we have to do them anyway because the freedom like we had in the later part of the first game doesn't exist. Don't expect to sneak out of a tense firefight, you're going to kill everyone for dubious reward.

    Finally - who are these people? I definitely feel like characters are either foils and party favors or they're "developed", but that development is oftentimes contrived or feels forced or delusional. I don't really see how the moral choices for some of these folks have gotten them from A to B. Sometimes there's leaps of logic or faith which make me suspect I've missed some random clue somewhere I was supposed to find for a big reveal, or perhaps skipped some bit of talking by accident. While I don't really hate anyone for mindlessly killing someone I'm dear to from the first game, I don't love anyone either. It just feels like those Star Wars movies everyone tries to ignore. All the stageplay is there, but the writing is just bad.    … Expand

    TLOU1 was my favourite game ever. This "game" is an insult to the memory of the first game and is extremely poorly written. Decent enough gameplay but completely butchered by a shocking, nonsensical story riddled with plot holes. To say I was disappointed is a massive understatement.

    This game is an embarrassment to the fans and the gaming community at large, Neil Druckmann has completely destroyed it with his forced woke culture and self insert sex-scene.

    I can only imagine how mentally damaged Naughty Dog studios is now, having endured that abortion of a so called "Game".

    And not to mention him forcing his much unneeded "Holocaust" fable into the game. The entire ordeal comes off as a sickly forced waking nightmare that you cannot escape, something more fitting for a book of H.P Lovecraft's insane settings, it's just missing the eldritch monsters or maybe Neil Druckmans sex scene with the Transexual Abby is very much the Eldritch abomination just in modern day artform.

    Thank you Naughty Dog and Neil for hopefully ending your careers.

    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.
