    Did not live to the hype that the audience were given and the story isn't what we expect from a game made by Naughty Dog.

When you shove Ellie's sexuality in everyone's face it's obviously for an agenda, and killing a well established and loved character in such a disrespectful way is just insulting to us consumers. Saying that these reviews are irrelevant because we are "close minded" is a shallow attempt to silence the truth. But hey, at least the graphics are good, it's diverse, and it's got good IGN reviews, I guess that's what really matters.… Expand

    I'm surprised that writers keep doing stuff like this even after they saw how D&D killed their careers with s8 of GoT. The only expectations they subverted are Sony's pockets, cause nobody will want to buy this game after seeing users reviews on it.

    My adivice to future videogame makers is, it doesn't matter if all pieces of your game are amazing, if your writing it's worth 0 then the whole game It's worth a 0.    … Expand

    This pains for me to say but this game's story did not live up to its hype at all. I should've allowed myself to get spoiled but I didn't and I regret not doing it. I'm not going to spoil any parts of the game but all I'm going to say is that they removed a character in a rather disappointing and poorly written way. The game's story revolves around Ellie's revenge which is able to work. However, throughout Ellie's journey of killing hundreds of walkers and infected, it ends in one of the most anticlimactic endings I've ever seen in a video game. The amount of pain, loss, and suffering all for nothing because Ellie has a simple flashback. If you want to know what I'm talking about, go search up the ending for yourself. There is also a very unnecessary sex between Abby and a male but for some reason, there is a scene where Ellie and her girlfriend Dina are about to have sex but it fades to black instead.

    If you enjoyed the game, that is totally fine but I think we can all agree that the story could've been written much better. This game completely misses the charm that made the original Last of Us so special. Whats even more painful is that there is flashbacks of Ellie and Joel bonding that I enjoyed playing much more than the main story line. I feel there was much better writing planned out but Neil Druckman and Anita Sarkeesian messed up a lot of the story.

    This is why you don't pre-order no matter how long you've been waiting for a game even by what I used to call the greatest video game developers on the planet. You messed up on this Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics, a soundtrack and gameplay are wonderful. But the story ... Difficult to swallow. It ended the essence of the characters. Joel was a paranoid guy who didn't trust anyone and had a post-pandemic life. Ellie was super charismatic in the first game, and in this second with a face or ass all the time, before Joel's death. Neil Druckmann uses as many viewers of the story as he likes Abby to justify his actions. However, it failed miserably. The last of us to me is like Dragon ball GT: Excellent soundtrack, excellent visuals of the characters, but a completely despicable story.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very disappointed with the direction they took with this game. The Last of Us Part 1's story was arguably a masterpiece, but this game is filled with a clear agenda to pander to the LGBT community. We get it... Elle's a lesbian, but we don't have to be reminded of it every other minute. Serious plot holes in this game. The gameplay is good but the story is boring. For the most part, you're just walking around finding supplies waiting for the next cut scene. And the way they killed off Joel early on in the game is ridiculous and to make us play as the character that killed him off was absolutely disrespectful.

    A great story is what makes or breaks a game...and I put more weight on the story verses graphics because good quality graphics should be the standard...I'm giving this game rating a 1 because of the graphics and gameplay. However, this is a classic case of how to ruin a game franchise 101.    … Expand

The combat and gameplay are identical to the original, so they couldn't even be bothered to improve that. Its a convoluted mess that's hard to follow, and just inferior to the original game in every conceivable way. This feels less like a sequel and more like a college kid's fan game. It's also incredibly short, I've already beaten it. Not worth 60$ as it sits.… Expand

    This game is just a disaster, I had to make an account just to vent out my frustrations.

    I finished the game, the only reason I played this is because of the hype. I also finished the first game and if I would rate it, I would give it a 6 or 7. Now onto the game. CONS: - Gameplay feels like it's stuck in the PS2 era. Stealth feels similar to AC/Splinter Cell.

    I finished the game, the only reason I played this is because of the hype. I also finished the first game and if I would rate it, I would give it a 6 or 7.

    Now onto the game.

    CONS:
    - Gameplay feels like it's stuck in the PS2 era. Stealth feels similar to AC/Splinter Cell. Over the shoulder view is just a copy of RE4, no improvement whatsoever. Gameplay is exactly the same with the first game, it just added dogs as enemies.

    - Terrible game design. Environmental 'puzzles' suck. Pacing sucks, it should have been a 12ish hour game and you would still be able to get whatever is offered over the 20+hour game. I was expecting that the reason behind the 20+ hour of gameplay was to focus on Abby and her backstory so that you get to 'feel' for her, but the writers never really established that. You never 'feel' for her

    - POOR REPRESENTATION OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY. I know it's a start, but a poor representation is a poor representation and I cannot stress this enough!

    - Story is just terrible. I never liked playing a game for its story, but the only thing that hooked me in the first game was the gripping and gritty story. The story here is gritty for the sake of gritty. The characters are very cliched. Stupid ending that people are trying to disguise as 'open ended ending'. Guys, if I wanted a poorly written story, I would have gone to Netflix and their hundreds of B movies.

    PROS:

    - This game's graphics is absolutely gorgeous. I know Tsushima looks good in previews but this game will probably give Tsushima a run for its money

    - If you are a first time player, this is not a bad game, probably a 4 or 5 at best.

    All in all, I suggest you take your money elsewhere and wait for this game to reach $15-$20. There are A LOT of amazing games on sale in PSN right now and I suggest you put your money on those games instead.    … 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.
