    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start of with this game. The game looks good for me. The characters I think were not talked about much and for people that did not play the first game they will have no clue who these characters are. Now the story for me it toke around 2 to 3 hours to start really getting to play the game. A story should not take that long to get your attention. The way they made the story just ruined it spoilers if you have not played the but Joel gets killed and the hole game is based around kill the people that killed him you kill a few characters but you don’t kill the main character that killed Joel and to make it worse you let them get away with it. I am so tired of people trying to put strong women in games that are not dealt with like in this game. This is the perfect example of how to destroy your franchise. For the rest of the game I enjoyed it but the combat is a bit bad.… Expand

    I give this game a 1 star for the good gameplay overall. But everything else is terrible. I would recommend not buying as it is a waste of time on the game after waiting so long to get this garbage of a storyline.

    I said to myself "ok, don't feed into the negativity. Go out and play this game for yourself. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. So I boot it up and voilà, it's EVERYTHING (and then some) that people who TRIED to warn me away from it said it was.

Go out and play this game for yourself. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. So I boot it up and voilà, it's EVERYTHING (and then some) that people who TRIED to warn me away from it said it was. This... political statement PRETENDING to be a game will go down in history as the defining moment when the game industry (publishers, developers & game media) became a conglomerate ideology-tool for the progressive left.

    PROS:
    ....................................................................................................... Oh.. The graphics in general are... really good!

    CONS:
    [1] The game is more interested in PUSHING the progressive left's redefinition of the word 'diverse' than it is in actually telling a compelling story.
    [2] All men bad... All women good
    [3] ZERO emptional stakes put forth. Not ONE. The game is as unfeeling as the idiots who made it are
    [4] Try as it might it doesn't know how to deal with the MANY conundrums that coexist within the progressive left's ideology. See, in this... "game" all men bad, all women good. But... but... The... "game" also attempts to push the "more than 2 genders" narrative (ie: conundrum)
    [5] In most games (even in this SJW, #Woke, #MeToo, ist-ism-obia, #RHEEEEE world we live in) the ending of a game has some sort of payoff. The "bad guy" gets his/hers #ComeUpings, There is some sort of emotional closure to the journey, something that simply says "the end", a wrong is righted... etc. SOMETHING. But here comes The Last of Us II. Nope, Nada, No. No closure, no nothing. Just one big pile of "Think like us or you're an ist-ism-obia, a russian bot or toxic.

    Me getting my money back for the piece of hot garbage is out of the question so I did not even try. I'll just chalk it up to Goodbye Sony, Goodbye Naughty-Dog.

    FOR THE RECORD:
    [1] This is a real review, not a hater-bomb
    [2] I have zero problems with Ellie being gay. The shill media that is spreading that fake news also knows that is not the reason why so many disliked this PoS. That said, the irony of Ellie; All-of-a-sudden; being gay in the DLC that dropped the EXACT SAME day that Ellen Page (actress that Ellie's likeness was based on) came out to the world as gay is not lost on those with an once of common sense. No, the problem(s) I had with this... "game" was the man-shaming that occurs from beginning to end of this farce. The problem I had is making me play as some GENDER-CONFUSED Whaman who LOOKS like a man and THINKS she is a man right up until it's time for her to teach all of us how much better all women are. The problem I had is the game could not go a full 30 minutes without some sort of virtue signaling.

    MY SCORE: 1 - It gets at least a 1 from me for having the unmitigated gall to even release this nonsense and that I played all the way through.

    This... "game" was appalling and it was a waste of my money. the ONLY bright side to this fiasco is that I have quite a few people that rely on my opinion concerning games these days and so I've saved them from purchasing this crap. Now I gotta go get ready for President Trump's Rally. Ya'll be good.    … Expand

    Não vou dar spoiler aqui, mas vou citar minha indignação. Destruíram a história, os personagens, teve um Downgrade absurdo e só acertaram na gameplay quando tem alguma batalha...mas é raro isso acontecer porque boa parte do jogo é filme ou ficar andando!

    Devs did something artistic and surprising, but in same time they hurted the feels of the fanbase, but maybe this was exactly their objective.

    They introduced a new character, Abby, but even the player are forced to play her and saw the story from her side, its hard to feel something, she doesnt give any emotion, just hate or empty feels...something doesnt worked on this character....

    7 years ago i said that TLOU doesnt need an sequel, at least making an completely new characters and new storyline was a solution, but they wanted to "push" the story in different way...

    Cant ignore the fact that this videogame is very creative, but as a "sequel", its hard to recommend to the fanbase, its not a game that everyone can accept so easily, it divide the users and its understandable.

    Accept or not this story as "sequel" depend from the users, for me the first TLOU is unique and doesnt need an "sequel".    … Expand

    Awful characters. Awful story. You literally don't feel anything the whole game because the characters are the worst of all time. Gave 1 point for the decent graphics. Gameplay boring and ps3-era. Naughty Dog does not innovate in this title. Long, boring, awful characters, awful writing.

    Every video gaming industry should learn from this event and remember who their customers are. I get the frustration of every video gamer. This game is pushing an agenda that most people are awakening up to and don’t agree with. After a few hours of gameplay, my motivation to continue playing the game is dead. Time to send the game back to Naughty Dog!!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Why does this game even exist? It couldn't be more clear that Naughty Dog never intended a followup to the first game and had no plan whatsoever for continuing the plot.

    The thing that actually makes Ellie important (her immunity...ya know, the entire driving force behind the first games plot) has no role to play in the sequel at all. Other than one or two off-hand references, it seems like the writers completely forgot that was even a thing. As a result, the game has no real plot progression at all. The world is the exact same at the end of the game as the begining. It's pointless.

    This games plot is literally like watching one of those episodes of a TV show that have a throw away story to focus on the B tier characters.....except these are supposed to be our main characters.

    I would say "at least its pretty," but Naughty Dogs gameplay is so laughably outdated and stale that you can hardly focus on the graphics through the shear tedium of it all.

    Why would you drudge up a beloved IP, then have no clue where you are going with it? Is it really too much to ask for the writers to at least pretend they know what they are doing?

    I'd give this a "0," but I am willing concede that the game does indeed start up when I select the icon.    … Expand

We need more of those stories that cant be played as movies, they are an experience(like death stranding). Even though i found some minor pacing issues it did not make my experience any worse. As far as Graphics, Audio, Characters, Voice acting its all a 10/10 on those aspects i think undeniably. With a narration that PERSONALLY i found a 10/10 and a pacing of like an 8/10 my score comes down to an overall 10/10. I recommend that you all play it because its one of the only games that i think cant be watched on a playthrough or a stream, its just not the same. And remember, any game you play is a creation of someone and in order to experience it you need to be sometimes patient and other times open minded.

    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.
