    Not worth our time & money. Neil Druckmann should be known as Drunk man after this disappointing game. Nothing is good about it. The ending sucks. This game just wanna push the illuminati transgender & lesbian agenda. That's all that it cares about. This gme is not fun. Don't ever let the Drunk man make games ever again

I have played 8 hours now and it has been simply amazing in terms of graphics, story telling, game play, details. The story has been absolutely captivating (although shocking) and the game itself super fun to play (although very tense). It is really sad to see so many pathetic insecure people hate on the game because of Ellie's sexual orientation or that there is a trans character (don't even think that character is trans but whatever). But in a way, these pathetic people made me want to play the game even more, so thanks in a way. Well done Naughty dog on creating another masterpiece, and I'm looking forward to completing the rest of the game.

    I'll also take an opportunity to address some of the ridiculous criticism:
    1) "The game is too violent" - what the hell were you expecting? The first game was also about killing humans and zombies
    2) "The game does the same thing and is boring" - the first game was also walking around, exploring and killing humans / zombies - why is it boring now?
    3) "The story is terrible" - if Ellie wasn't a lesbian and there wasn't a trans character - there would be zero story criticisms    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visually stunning. I did enjoy the gameplay but to call it groundbreaking is a vast overstatement. Its polished on the work from the first installment several years ago for sure, but it's to be expected given the resources behind such a well established studio. The biggest let down for me is the story. I'd draw comparisons with the GoT series. TLOU1 is much like the first few seasons setting the story rich with lore and a mix of anticipation and wonder in a strange new world.

    TLOU2 is akin to the last seasons where the story itself plays second (maybe thrid) fiddle to the proverbial mic drops/shock factor to justify itself. In much the same way as GoT, the ending makes you wonder why you even bothered in the first place.

    I'd even say if you had a choice in the the final decision it would have made up a few more points personally. But instead it's more of a childrens bedtime story trying to shove its own conflicting brand of morality down your throat at the expense of any replayability or sense of accomplishment. Now I get the whole revenge can backfire thing.... But this isn't a new concept... It has already been done... Just ask anyone who's watched the various endings of the Count of Monte Cristo.

    I can't help but think I've played a different game to that played for the critic reviews.

    For me the story should be foremost for any game, backed up by well polished and novel gameplay concepts and UI.
    I feel this concept was lost somewhere along development and as such feels like a step backwards from the achievements from its predecessor.    … Expand

    Embarrassingly enough, I spent $100 on this game, and regret it fully. Graphically beautiful, mechanics are alright, gameplay itself is meh, and plot had been butchered. Sad to see another series go down like this :(

    Неутешительный сюжет и игровой опыт. NaughtyDog действительно знает, как добавить PR-теги в игру, но в конце концов, по-прежнему важно качество игры и сюжетная линия.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before anyone can whine and say I didn't "roll credits" on this game, let me assure you I did, and I stand by my opinion that The Last of Us Part II is the worst game ever made, from a story standpoint. Gameplay wise, the game is fantastic. The look and feel of everything is almost as great as it was in the first. But you can have the prettiest game, movie, or TV show in the world, and people will still despise it if the story is flawed. And, my God, this has to be one of the most terrible, unredeemable plots in video game history.
    ***SPOILERS FOLLOW***
    Roughly one hour into the game, if that, Joel dies. Okay, many of us were expecting Joel to die in this game, myself included. But it isn't his death, but rather the way it happens.
    In the first game, Joel is untrusting of anyone. He knows that there are more people out there in the world who mean him harm than good, and it's better to not engage with them. Yet we open into Joel's impending death with nothing short of a "Howdy, ya'll! My name's Joel!" He's murdered by a newcomer character named Abby, for whom you have no feeling but hatred after what she does. His death is far too brutal, to the point it crosses the bridge into torture porn. I couldn't watch it, and this is coming from someone who enjoys SAW and Hellraiser. And the reasoning behind it? Abby is the daughter of the surgeon Joel killed in the end of the first game.
    Ellie witnesses this and vows revenge. Oh, wow, where have I heard that plotline before? Maybe in literally every other revenge tale ever told. How original.
    So we have two characters, both on the hunt for revenge after their father/father-figure is murdered. Not starting off good.
    After this wretched, sickening scene of Joel's murder, you'll be happy to know you get to play as the ***** who murdered him, as some sort of twisted way to make you empathize with a character who has no redemption aspect. Then it tasks you with NOT getting her killed, as if I have any reason to not run headlong into the nearest Clicker.
    In addition to this, there's also another scene of a person witnessing their own mother being murdered.
    But the real winner was when the main protagonist, Ellie, kills a pregnant woman. Her revelation that the woman was pregnant is supposed to be traumatic and horrifying, but for what reason other than to make the player want to quit playing is beyond me. Ellie is damaged by not only seeing Joel get his face caved in with a golfclub, but also for inadvertently murdering a pregnant woman. Disturbing is the only word for this kind of story. There are NO redeeming qualities capable of undoing that kind of action.
    The entire game tries to be a statement about violence being bad and revenge being badder, as if the players who bought this game are moronic and unaware. We bought a violent video game and they in turn punished us for doing so by killing a character everyone loved. There's far too much effort to make you think, but with an opening like the death of Joel, you deafened the ears of anyone who may have listened to your shlock.
    And let's not forget that you, Naughty Dog, did this horrendous act to Joel on Father's Day weekend. A large number of people struggle with this holiday, myself included. I wanted to play this game as a distraction from the memories Father's Day brings up. I had a horrible father. Joel is the dad I always wished I would have had. And you murdered him.
    As someone who suffers from crippling depression, this game made me want to die. If I didn't have my new job and hope for the future, this game would have driven me to suicide. It is that bad. I've never had a game make me hate myself for playing it as much as this one did. And right now, in a time when people say they are the most unhappy they've been in decades, you gave everyone a reason to be even sadder. I pray no one is driven to end their own life by your senseless violence, infliction of trauma, and disturbing enjoyment of spitting in the face of fans of the first game, all in the name of "making a statement".
    **** you, Naughty Dog, LLC. You ruined not only this game, but its predecessor. You're all a bunch of torturous monsters and I hope your employees sue you for your slave labor tactics to the point you go under like Telltale Games did before you.    … Expand

    I don’t know why people are bombing this game - but I absolutely love it. It’s emotional, it’s tense, it’s violent. It could be too violent but honestly I think it makes it better, it’s what makes me nervous and have this sense of dread playing. Give it a chance.

    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]
