    This game is pretty terrible. Not because of any "SJW pandering," but simply because the story is pretty garbage. The game is linear, and thus forces you to carry out certain actions in order to complete it. However, it also reprimands the player for committing actions that the player is *forced* to take.

Eles quiseram dar uma de game of thrones, e ter uma história fraca e só matar personagem pra causar impacto, desde o primeiro eu já não achava o jogo tão incrível quanto a mídia dizia, mas nesse eles literalmente são saíram matando personagem com uma desculpa porca, com mecânica fra a e história lastimável, quem diz que esse jogo é bom ou tá sendo pago ou é fãboy pq qualquer pessoa normal, vê que esse não agradou e que forçou a barra… Expand

    All aspects of this game were decent except for the complete and utter garbage writing displayed which is the only aspect of the game that really matters to fans of the original.

    I have never felt so disgusted after finish playing one game ever. A game could be boring or disappointing, but tlou2 is the way so different, it is disgusting, especially in the last 7 hours. The only reason I bought this game is because tlou1 is good, but now this game make tlou1 also a garbage. I can still feel uncomfortableness now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Save your money! Unlike the original, "The Last of Us 2" is horribly bad. To think this garbage story came from a AAA game company is laughable. Instead of a cohesive story and fun game play, we get non-stop pandering to certain agendas thrown in with awkward pacing and zero character development. They even decided to kill off fan favorite characters; characters who they featured in trailers and through deceptive marketing tactics made it seem like they were going to be a large part of the story. I've played games for decades. This is one of the worst stories I have had to experience to date. I am pissed I cannot get my money back from this abomination. I would have rather used my $60 to wipe my butt and then flush it down the toilet; I would have gotten more satisfaction from that. I'm an idiot for not looking at leaks before playing this game. Shame on me for trusty Naughty Dog. This will probably be the last Naughty Dog game I ever spend money on.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know what to say... I doubt whether this is the work we've been waiting for seven years.LOU used to be a big present for us. Among the games from the 13 year, there are a lot of stories, immersion, graphics, and details. And when the sequel was coming out in 20 years, I was very excited and wondered what happened to Joel and Ellie, who appeared in the previous works.

    But what came out was a great disappointment and hurt and a great deal of discomfort.

    In the beginning, Joel died a ridiculous death, and at the same time, the scene disgusted me and made me feel uncomfortable. Even if Joel had looted and killed so many people in that worldview, it would be a follow-up to the question of "Should I have died like this?" and to the people who played the previous movie, it would have been very hurtful and inconsiderate. Did you forget why we fell in love with Joel and Ellie in our previous work? Or is it just the director who hated Joel? Or is it the problem of the scriptwriter who made the story? It caused a lot of confusion. The character Abby, who can't even get involved, suddenly appears, continues to show us killing Joel, who we were so attached to in our previous work, forcing him to do more than half the game's worth, and even beating Ellie to death.

    Even though graphics and gaming were good, it's not... The reason why I'm doing LOU is because I felt like we were together in the story and I had a lot of affection for the character. But you've created this unpleasant and disgusting story, as you call it ridicule... How can you really show this to gamers and fans?

    What the hell did you want to say "Abby"? Is it fair that his father is experimenting with Ellie, a young child? It's natural for a few to sacrifice themselves for the majority? Is it fair to kill a life just to get a sample? To be exact, the story clearly didn't even make 100 percent of the vaccine at that time. Just to get a specimen, to convince a young child who doesn't know life is important to make sacrifices. Joel was angry about it. He saved Ellie.

    Many people would say, "Joel died of karma piled up and revenge."
    So where's the probability in the previous work? Yeah, Joel did a lot of bad things in his previous work, and someone would want revenge. But suddenly, you're going to show the director in a ridiculous situation, and then kill him with a scene that makes him feel bad?
    I think you could have made Joel, who was the main character in the previous film, more understandable and involved, and then sent him back. But as if you're suffering from an art disease in disgusting art, you say, "This is why Joel deserved to die."

    Oh! Right, is this what you wanted to show us? Did you have to express it in such a bad and disgusting way because you wanted to show art?

    We play games because it's fun. It's possible because there's fun, emotion, understanding, and immersion in the character in art. However, the moment you feel unpleasant inside the game, it becomes not a game. What did you guys show off your displeasure throughout the game for fun? A touching story? Beautiful background? Graphic? Game?

    What's the point of having good graphics and good game quality? If you've been able to get a big response from these unpleasant stories and directing in a story-oriented game, you're just a bunch of sick bastards.

    And the most unpleasant thing about it was that I kept showing Joel when he died, adding a scene of reminiscence, and selling him to the end, and I lost my heart to you. That's how I got it. You just wanted to make your fans feel bad and angry.    … Expand

    I play single player games for the story, unfortunately, the story in part 2 is a tenth of the first game. This is a depressing vat of sadness. it is a frustrating experience for 95% of the game and just not enjoyable past the 2nd hour. It looks cool, however looking cool doesn't cut it in 2020.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A game that throws and deny everything from part 1. Was killing Joel's daughter Sara in part1 acceptable? Yes It can be since we know little about Sara and the probability of the story is very reasonable. But doing the same thing in part2 killing Joel is reasonable? Not at all. Since we know how Joel's Character is and the plot getting to it is very nonsense. Everything we know about Joel and Ellie in part1 was just a daydream in part2 making Joel from Discreet to Indiscreet person.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't wait 7 years for this **** I can't believe this is the sequel to the Last Of Us, which in my opinion is the greatest game ever made in the history of video games.

    I enjoyed playing this game for the first few hours. Graphics were amazing, and the story line seemed promising. That was until Neil Druckmann killed Joel. Neil Druckmann makes users feel hatred anger against the new character, Abby, by excluding Joel from the very beginning of the game. Then, he shows the backstory of Abby, which no one wanted to know, to justify her actions. I already felt disgusted and irritated by this time. But that wasn't all. The game forces THE USER TO CONTROL ABBY AND ATTACK ELLIE. FOR FXXK SAKE. I didn't want to play anymore. That was when i burnt the CD in my backyard out of disgust and disappointment.

    DO NOT BUY OR PLAY THIS FXXKING GAME. SOLID 0 OUT OF 10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains spoilers. The Last of Us 2 is a true testament to how not to make a sequel for a game. While gameplay received better animations and such, it mostly remained the exact same and becomes monotonous and predictable over the 25+ hour story. While it’s not bad, you'd hope for a much bigger upgrade or overhaul of crafting and other gameplay mechanics, but many remained completely untouched. But the gameplay isn’t what causes this game to be a failure in my opinion, because that’s not what people really play TLOU for anyways. People play for the characters and story, which is nothing short of disappointing and misguided in this game. The utter lack of respect toward previous or even new characters prevents the player from getting invested in them, and the game fails to utilize the one relationship the player was already invested in going into the game. Instead they demolish that relationship, and never really show it getting back to anything of what it used to be. Most other characters in this game are stagnant and replaceable, and while they have good performances, fail to make me care about them in a meaningful way. That is, until they get brutally murdered on a quest for revenge. By the end of the game I was so numb to violence nothing shocked me anymore, and I’m not sure what the game was even trying to say through all this violence and misery. What I do know is that I feel devastated for Ellie and deep hatred for another character. I truly hope Naughty Dog lets this franchise die in the pit they dug for it. I absolutely loved the first game, but this train wreck wants me to feel depressed for nothing. Some of the lessons it tries to teach seem so stupidly simple I asked myself if I was even hearing it right. All I can hear now is the ringing in my ears after listening to one of my favorite games get pillaged and massacred in the name of “Subverted Expectations”. Do not recommend. Collapse… Expand

    The story is not very good. Accordingly, I can come up with other reasons to make the game just like that, except for the desire of developers to send their personal messages. Too few components of the game in this game and too much trash. And also the disgusting policy of the studio to promote the game.

    Oh shi~ here we go again.

    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]
