    Just insulting to all the players of the first game. I don't even consider this a game, it's just a political statement, not to mention how they tricked us into thinking we'd be playing as joel and ellie with the trailers (yeah, those two, if they didn't notice that's what made the first game the last of us).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You know it's gonna be a flop when you show a big "SCREW YOU" to your old fans and try searching new ones in the face of LGBT minorities. It's a mashup of a Netflix version of High School Musical, Taken and Day Z, and it's pretty, pretty bad. It actually destroyed everything the first game consolidated. Naughty Dog, you just dug up your grave. We will forever remember TLOU 1 as the one and only.… Expand

    Oh boy, where to begin...

    Firstly I would like to say that I never completed the first game purely because I didn’t like the gameplay but I Ioved the story so much that I watched a full walkthrough on youtube. Normally with me if I don’t enjoy the gameplay on ANY game, I will stop playing and will forget about the game like I never played it, but not with The Last Of Us. The first game is    Oh boy, where to begin...

    Firstly I would like to say that I never completed the first game purely because I didn’t like the gameplay but I Ioved the story so much that I watched a full walkthrough on youtube. Normally with me if I don’t enjoy the gameplay on ANY game, I will stop playing and will forget about the game like I never played it, but not with The Last Of Us. The first game is DEFINITELY one of the best written games ever and the connection you had between yourself and the characters is so amazing that you didn’t even have to play the game to feel that way, and even though I didn’t enjoy the gameplay I personally feel that the story was AT LEAST 9/10. And now moving onto the second game...

    I want to say that when the games plot leaked originally I didn’t mind and I thought it would just get better by context, but oh man I was 100% wrong. I Then started to panic a bit when it was coming out that 70% of the studio left because they didn’t like the way the game was heading and the way they treated their staff leading up to the release of this game (AKA Johnathan Cooper). And then that leaves us up till now, when the game has released. I have seen pretty much a walkthrough of the whole game missing out some parts like the middle but overall I know what this game is. All I have to say is Neil Druckmann and Anita Sarkeesian should NEVER be allowed to go anywhere near the gaming industry EVER AGAIN. And before people start to call me a homophobe, this is not the reason I HATE this game it is because of...

    1. The absolute HORRENDOUS character development/writing. You could genuinely remove some of these people from the game and it would make a difference AT ALL.
    2. The CLEAR AGENDA THEY ARE SHOVING DOWN EVERYONES THROATS. Politics shouldn’t be in games unless it is significant and essential to the games story/plot.
    3. The DISRESPECT they have shown fans from the first game because this is EVERYTHING WE DIDN’T WANT. I could think of a hundred better directions this game could have gone in.
    4. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. I COULD GO ON FOREVER AND EVER.

    I honestly don’t want to go on because what they have done to this franchise is CRIMINAL and the disrespect they have shown characters that we fell in love with in the original is nothing short of disgusting. I could go over so much more but it genuinely makes me sad, don’t get me wrong this game is beautiful in terms of graphics and it’s gameplay looks much better than the first but the reason we fell in love with the last of us is because of the story. AND THEY COMPLETELY DESTROYED IT. I honestly can’t believe they thought this was a good idea and in my eyes, there is only ONE The Last Of Us.    … Expand

So they killed Joel in the most humiliating way possible, killed every other character the player would care about, left us with no reason to continue playing the game but to avenge Joel but then we let the murderer walk away in the end just like that? WoW I never thought you could ruin one of the best games ever and shove it into the dirt with one hand. Besides all these unnecessary gay porn scenes. I can't believe they did this to my favourite game definitely would not recommend buying this.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Made this account just to write this, here we go..

    I played ten minutes of the game at a friends house and considered buying it myself. Luckily i though to myself i should read some reviews just to be sure and i am happy i did. Played trough the game with my friend and we both agree with the reviews here.

    The game is beautiful and feels just like the original, but the story, oh the story. it doesn't feel like a story, it feels like an assignment that you get 3 hours at school to write.

    Its a bad revenge story that kills off my favorite video-game character and ruins the other. its something completely different than its predecessor.

    As someone that played trough the original seven times and has been hyped for this game since the first sign of trailers back in 2017. The letdown this game was made me cry. I could never imagine that i would be using this evening to write about how much i hate instead of telling my friends how good it was.

    Don't even consider buying this "game", save your money for Cyberpunk 2077 or anything else but this. Luckily for me it didn't cost me anything

    If you're into good graphics and game play, you should consider putting it last on your list because this just isn't worth it.

    This game has learnt me two things, read reviews and never pre-order.    … Expand

    It's just a bad bad story, I did a eye roll dozen of times playing this. The greatest strength of part one is the biggest weakness for the part two which is sad. The game play is almost same as in part one, nothing epochal, graphics are of course beautiful and sound is outstanding!

    In general the score for me its 4 but this is my punishment to the game studio cause I am so dissapointed.    It's just a bad bad story, I did a eye roll dozen of times playing this.

    Me siento ofendido con lo que le hicieron a esta franquicia. Es una saga disfrute mucho en su momento, y ahora parece haber sido dirigida por un motón de ineptos inclusivos.

    Just as poor mechanics as the first game. Unlike the first game though they replaced a decent story with disgusting degenerate sexual propaganda. If you thought the zombies would be the grossest part of this game then you are mistaken. At this rate they’re going to glorify pedophilia and bestiality in the Last of Us Part 3.

    The writing in this game was a massive letdown, even if you didn't play through the first game. If you were a fan of the original The Last of Us, this game was a massive slap in the face. The way the characters are written in the second game completely goes against the way they were developed in the first game in order to fulfill an extremely contrived narrative. The drop in writingThe writing in this game was a massive letdown, even if you didn't play through the first game. If you were a fan of the original The Last of Us, this game was a massive slap in the face. The way the characters are written in the second game completely goes against the way they were developed in the first game in order to fulfill an extremely contrived narrative. The drop in writing quality here is actually somehow worse than the drop in quality that we saw in Game of Thrones' final seasons.

    The storytelling is poor and that is just irredeemable in a game where they sacrifice fun gameplay for story development. Throughout the story you take control of a number of characters at different points in time, and so your inventory and equipment are constantly reset and you're never able to feel powerful or in-control. This would be fine as a narrative tool, except the writers utterly fail at convincing the player that the actions and motivations of certain main characters are reasonable or admirable.

    To put it simply, if you're looking for fun, engaging gameplay, this game does everything worse than the first game. If you're looking for an interesting, satisfying story that has a meaningful and coherent message and features convincing character development, this game is absolutely not it. The original The Last of Us was a masterpiece of introducing us to flawed characters and making us fall in love with them. This game is more concerned with finger-wagging and guilt-tripping than doing anything resembling good story-telling.

    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]
