    BY THE POPE you gotta love those triple A companies who don't care to satisfy the fans and offer them great experience but to apeal to political views. I feel sick of this garbage story. No matter how good gameplay/graphics are if your story is **** your game is unplayable.

    My approach for this review is getting straight to the point (quick fire bullet points)
    the assumption is made that readers are familiar with the series or rather predecessor of this current iteration.

    1- Gameplay - this game personifies the "if its not broke dont fix it"" approach. the controls and game play is almost identical. its about survival and you need to be smart about how you manage your weapons. There is no new interesting weapons. And its the same old style of hide and take your time before attacking enemies.

    Enemy variations are limited in fact most are similar to the initial game for most of this game. AI can be questionable
    at times. More so with the new inclusion for enemy dogs , Ill just say this if a dog catches your scent i doubt the moving 2 metres away will make the dog loose you. )

    i hated that i felt more vulnerable in this game. Even though this game is relatively easy.

    2-Graphics and environment - this is the largest merit of the game. this is definitely the best thing about this game Naughty dog just has a style about their Last of Us and Uncharted series that is so amazing to witness. this game does not miss a beat on that point. Environments look largely the same and painfully linear with little open world.

    3- Story - The main issue here is the character themselves. their Actions are rather different from the first game. Characters that survived the first game seem regressed they some how trust strangers now. which gets them brutally killed. this includes the protagonist of the previous game whole is clearly not himself. Joel does not have a clear motive and this obviously leads to his death. The motive of his death is also not stemming from a previous choice the player was made aware of or given consent, Autonomy was disregarded and what seem like a moment of courage to preserve a little girls life in the first game led to a mans death. Ally then seeks revenge kills thousands of people and in the end finds Joels killer and opts for an Honorable battle which makes no sense because the character design of this character shows that she is defiantly superior in strength! in a segment of the game you are forced to play as this very unlikable character.

    Theres a weird sexual encounter all i can say on that is wow!!!

    4- Lastly My love for video games - The politics of the game ruin this game. This is taking a perfectly good hearted story and trying to challenge you for no reason with a plethora of plot holes. how are you getting buff in a damn apocalypse. Its ridiculous !!!! but its okay. but ignore the forth point its just my opinion.

    and by the way the apocalypse is ignored its just about religion and sexuality now. its crazy

    this is a 2,5/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. EVERYTHING that was special about the first game, got crapped on in this game. Joel didn't deserve to die like that. Forcing us to play as the character that killed one of our favorite and most beloved characters....screw that. Congrats, the game is pretty but you screwed up everything else. The story lacks any real substance. The focus of the first game is endure and survive. The second was "it can't be for nothing" ... but it was. It was for nothing. When the creator makes a self insert that spits on Joel's dead body...that says what the creator thinks about those that loved and appreciated the first game. Waiting 7 years when the the first game was my favorite game of all time and Joel was my favorite character of all time, this was absolute trash.… Expand

Killing Joel was a bad move, then Ellie goes and kills a bunch of WLF, Jesse dies, then when you’re about to kill Abby, you let her go! What type of **** is that? The story is super sloppy and messy. I couldn’t even bring myself to continue playing the game. The only good part is the environment and the graphics. Story is utter dog ****… Expand

Joel, as a very experienced doomsday survivor, walked into the stranger's territory without any worried and laid down his weapons, and start introducing him- self.

    The game plays more like a interactive movie than a video game with half of the time "playing" your really just sitting with the controller on the ground and the rest your just **** walking, that second part could be overlooked if the story wasn't **** ass and a complete disgrace to the first game.

    Does not deliver on its promise. Awful story, non likable characters.
    Naughty dog fails to deliver the goods and pushes its SJW a little too hard.

    Los gráficos del juego son buenos pero la historia es pésima. El protagonista de la entrega anterior (Joel) no puede morir tan rápido y de una forma tan ridícula, te pasas horas y horas y horas matando gente inocente en busca de venganza para que al final perdones a la mujer que mató a la única figura paterna que tuviste. El peor juego de los últimos años

    R u kiding me!? Do NOT Do not plunge the gaming world into such political, homosexual things as personal freedom, but when you have a point of view do not force people to The world of games is not politicized. Players are intelligent, conscious people, and they do not accept that their ideas and ideas are manipulated.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, so basically, you take all that you had from the last game and you just kinda **** it in the ass. Joel dies in the prologue and Elie is left alone and it's really pathetic all the time. All of Ellie's companions are either written out of the story or are flat out killed by Mrs. Nanomachines.

    Ellie's character came off as really annoying this time, because of how sad and depressing everything was. It was like listening to a 14 year old talk about how dark the world is and how deep and emotional they are. I honestly started to hate myself for sitting down and playing the game.

    Abby is a ****ing mess and only exists to kill some companion of Ellie's or to serve as a tower of meat. She kills Joel, and then you play as her, and the game tries really ****ing hard to make you feel empathy towards her because "oooh she's just in a twisted world."    … 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]
