    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was so hyped for this game, but it is just terrible story writing. It kills player favorite character right away, which is a powerful moment, but without any real pay-off later on. At first I was just dissapointed by really bad pacing of this game, but still waiting for awesome story to reveal in second part of this game. The awesome story never came and Joel really died for nothing. Main villain Abby just gives me no other emotion than "dumb" and "hypocritical". There is so much potential for awesome villain but nope we get Abby who is just annoying from the start. By visual and by her acts. And they fckin made me play as her character for hours in second part. I was bored the whole time. You spend hours searching for revenge and then pretty likable character Jesse dies because what? Jesse, Tommy and Ellie forgot the map with big huge mark for their enemies to find? Again dumb. I also didnt deeply care for relationship between Ellie and Dina. Naughty dog really missed the chemistry between these two. Ellie choices are joke in second part of the game and doesnt really match up with her character. There are not many huge dissapointments in gaming sequel history, so TLOU 2 is clearly a winner in this unflatering category. To be fair, some gameplay is ok and character mimics are amazin.… Expand

    Lazy subversive storytelling with more regard for agenda pushing than character development. Any improved polish from the performance side is being unfortunately overshadowed by the needless teardown of beloved characters. Naughty Dog has themselves to blame. A single player, narrative driven game deserves far better than this.

    They said the first game is about love and I loved it and they said the second game was about hate and I absolutely hate it

    The visuals are about the only thing this game offers. Waited 7 years for this colossal disappointment. This was a political statement, not a video game.

    Such an amazing experience to play this game, buying it was probably the best decision i've made in years, i could even say that playing this solved a lot of my problems irl, including my insomnia of course, just after 5 minutes of playing it i had the best 11 hours of sleep of my life.

    Naughty Dog destroyed this franchise. The first game is my favorite video game to date but this garbage they call a game was a spit to the face of every single gamer that wanted this game. The story is horrendous and they took everything we wanted and hoped for and told us to go to hell. But hey, the graphics are good right? DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY!

Great gameplay and graphics like I said, but that is not what should be important in a story like The Last of Us. It’s sad really. I hope the developers who haven’t already quit Naughty Dog can learn from this... or rather Neil Druckmann himself. Maybe it’s time he found another job because he has truly killed this franchise.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I want to be crystal clear whit one specific detail because we all think similarly so i'll go straight to the thing that's killing me. If anyone ever golfs Ellie, Joel would've killed every last one of them in the whole country. He would've become The Last Of Us. The fact that the story is so depressing to the point that leaves Ellie completely alone is beyond disturbing. Its almost a torture to play the game. I mean, there is nothing wrong making a game with a darker thematic, i say darker because it's actually quite gnarly and sick. I just feel sad for her and. I really don't care about the so call Agenda related issues. I can take it, but the general tone after "that death" is just sadness.… Expand

    I had a really in depth review written (almost 5000 words) but apparently there was an error.
    Basically. If you have Depression or anxiety, don’t play this.
    The main spoilers you may have heard aren’t the worst of it This is depressing and I dissociated very close to the beginning of the game due to the violence.

    This is depressing and I dissociated very close to the beginning of the game due to the violence. This actually made me feel like I have the capacity to kill someone and not care which I think is the opposite of what the developers we’re going for, and frankly kind of scary.
    I have never hated a character before and I despise Abby.
    Also for people looking for LGBT representation... this failed at that too. All there is is suffering and the main message I got from this game around that is that being gay causes it.
    The graphics were great but if I’m honest, that just made everything so much worse.
    I am so glad I had the beginning spoiled for me because I had originally pre-ordered the Ellie edition, I have no idea what that would have done to me mentally, owning 300 dollars worth of stuff from such a terrible game. I would have lost it. As it was I played for free thanks to a friend that gave me their game after they quit at 2 hours in, I still feel like I deserve a refund.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is not the last of us simply, Tlou 1 showed us hope and survival while this game was about murder and revenge. I get they have the right to take the game to another moral code but they cant expect the people to be okay with that and just accept it. There was no charactar development for the original characters beside a little dark side of ellie while the rest such as tommy just had no development while they had so much more focus one new characters like Owen and Lev for some unknown reason. Once we are in the climax where ellie meets abby again theye take you into another game where you play as abby and the tension breaks you basically have to play as abby and do things that doesnt really have anything to do with the main story that was presented in the first half of the game. Then you have Abby saying SHE IS OKAY WITH DYING FOR HUMANITY like sure ofc you can say that when you are not on death bed. Joel was not the bad guy in the first game he did nothing wrong they took away Ellie's choice and he wanted her to have one and couldnt just accept that she was gonna die without even saying good bye so he bursted out mad and killed everyone in his way, so ofc he couldnt tell ellie the truth in the car. BUT it wasnt his fault they didnt give him a chance to even talk to her before the surgery so the whole principle of the fact that joel did anything wrong doesnt really work. Then you have tommy as i mentioned before he got so little screen time while other chracters like Lev got more when tommy was a main piece in the puzzle because he is the one that makes ellie go after abby again and he was the one trying to stop her in the first place and then you think how would tommy change in personality so fast i understand he lost an eye but his character was always the calm one and he just turns upside down that was really frustrating to see. Lastlly why and again why did we spend half the game playing as another character if the story revolves around ellie and why did you make it so many skill trees with so much to do if you were gonna make us switch character like that it was not good for the gameplay expierience nore the story. Please dont attack me for hating the game but make me a good explaination for why its good beside of ¨the story is dark in a darktime omg the first dark story in history and they were brave to make it¨ that is the dumbest **** i ever heard.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all. Last of Us revolts in the story of Joel and Ellie and their progression. I have played the game and I had to say, it is absolutely the worse sequel in the last of us franchise. It's like having a dog you always adore for years and suddenly you lost interest and gave it away to some random folk. That's almost the same feeling as watching Joel die by the hands of an unknown stranger thats not even related to the first story at all.

    I support LGBT and other gay rights but this is just a cringefest game. The way the emphasize how one of the characters is extremely forced and unncessary. The game is no longer a story but a fan-fiction made by a delusional 14 year old emo girl.    … Expand

    Terrible story arc compared to the first game. Another clear example how identity politics and bad writing are destroying all current series, movies and games. The story is unfulfilling at best, bitter ending and lacks any emotional attachment other than Joel dying for nothing.

    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]
