    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game does extremely well with it's visuals, audio, and setting. But falters on the characters and gameplay, not innovating on either. But absolutely drops the ball on a boring and dead narrative that's barely intriguing at the best of times. The whole intro sets the entire tone for the rest of the game... disappointing. The intro skips four years, and does nothing to tell us what happened during that time, nor why there's a group of fireflies who have somehow managed to track Joel down in the middle of nowhere? Not to mention as a man who full well knows that he is being hunted, drops the ball on keeping up an alias. I have no major issues with Abby, but the plot for Joel to die lacking major impact because it just dropped it on you out of nowhere with no real lead up.… Expand

    Not a fan, the story was stale considering the release date was pushed back. Writing was awful, and the ending was ridiculous.

    good game excellent gameplay but in relation to the possibility and the carelessness with the story it was strong they ended up trying to please a lot of people and got the hatred of many others for me the game is very good but the story regarding the expectation generated in the first plummeted right at the beginning of history so it is

    Su historia es horrible. Matan sin sentido ni respeto al personaje protagonista del juego anterior para dar paso a un personaje sácado del culo y obligandonos a jugar con el para "apreciar" a la comunidad LGBT. En vez de ganarse el respeto. LO PIERDEN

    if you get assaulted in the street, the assaulter is not a GENIUS to make you fell bad for being assaulted

    if you disrespect a history that people love with passion, you are not a GENIUS for ruining that history

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dear Naughty Dog,

    I just finished playing The Last of Us: Part II and I could not be more disappointed. Matching or even topping your original The Last of Us was a far stretch, and I don’t think that a lot of people were actually expecting you to do so. However, the critics are raving about TLOU2 ‘It’s a masterpiece’. The players have spoken too, and they think it’s a slap in the face. I agree with the other players.

    I really wanted to play with Ellie (and also Joel), but you have brutalized those beloved characters like they meant nothing. Joel gets killed by a nobody within the first hour of the game, and then Ellie is kind of going on a revenge mission but the game is not at all about that revenge. The game is about Naughty Dog’s double LGTBSETGGSWRGF (whatever letters are in it these days) community being shoved down players throats.

    No, I don’t care that I (Joel) killed Abby’s father in The Last of Us
    No, I don’t want to run around the woods for hours and hours with a few Asian people who have nothing to do with the main story.
    No, I don’t care about Abby
    No, I don’t want to play with Abby for 60% of the game
    No, I don’t want Abby to run around that hospital hallway for the 5th time in a nightmare playthrough
    No, I don’t want to run all over America to get some first aid kit for an Asian NPC I don’t care for. Amputate the arm and be done with it. It’s the apocalypse. I’ve killed hundreds of people in this game. I don’t give 2 cents about the people who helped me from getting hanged in the woods.
    No, walking simulator for hours and hours with Abby through camps, stadiums, hospitals and skyscrapers does not work for me to get any sympathy for Abby. She killed Joel, I don’t like her.
    Why does Abby need to show off her ‘superior' Hulk strength every 15 minutes?
    Why does Joel say his name within seconds of meeting complete strangers (and get’s killed for it)
    What did your team at Naughty Dog think when they laid out the plan for this game? Let’s start off with Ellie, let the player roam around with her for a few hours, and then in the end give Ellie back to the player for one lousy mission?
    Why do you, as a game company, lied in your TLOU2 trailers about Joel? ‘You didn’t think i’d let you do this on your own?’ This is false advertising.
    Why would I care about Owen, his dog or the Aquarium after pointless hours of roaming around there? I already KILLED them as Ellie. I love dogs, but telling a story this way does not give me any remorse whatsoever.
    Did you think players were going to enjoy hitting Ellie in the theatre and chasing her down? She’s Ellie for crying out loud.
    Tommy. He’s a character. Just for your information. He might be useful for the story?

    As you can see, there are some minor questions and issues I have with this game. The political and social agenda that has been shoved down my throat for hours was not entertaining or fun at all. I never thought there would be moments I would have liked to uninstall the game and just watch the ending cinematic online. I pushed through however, hoping that my pointless flashback with Abby would be short lived. Instead, I had to play for hours, and hours, and hours with a character who ruined the game for me. At one point during the sky elevator chapter, I just forgot who she was (on purpose) and said to myself that this was just another generic Tomb Raider or Uncharted video game. This is not The Last of Us. I will never play this game ever again, and I feel that Naughty Dog has lied to the gaming community. Maybe you should have just made a revenge game and let us kill all those monsters who killed Joel. Your writing is bad, and I don’t give 2 cents about your double agenda. You make entertainment products that are not entertaining. I was so glad the game was over. TLOU has some wonderful environments that are spoiled because I just ran past them at some point. Just to be done with it. I didn’t care anymore. Abby just ran into hordes of monsters and I enjoyed being killed by them. The credits should have rolled there and then. But hey, in the end we got to put some sheep in a barn with Ellie, that’s gotta count for something. I’m just sorry that we as a gaming community are the sheep and Naughty Dog is laughing in our faces. Maybe, in 2027 when The Last of Us Part III comes out, we can have a backstory about the armed soldier who killed Joel’s daughter in The Last of Us Part 1. Maybe we can get some sympathy for him as well. Good job Naughty Dog, by ruining a fantastic franchise. I hate The Last of Us Part 2.    … Expand

    I never knew games could be this bad. I wasted my time and money on this pos. Don't do the same. There is literally nothing good about this game except maybe the graphics. So maybe the should have just mad a movie instead. Except that movies need good writing.

    Disappointed in the poor story writing of this game. I absolutely loved the first installment of The Last of Us, but found this game to be poorly thought out. The gameplay is the only silver lining of this otherwise terrible game.

    I've never EVER cared if a game is about pandering lgbti. It has never bothered me, but if something does, is that if something is story driven, IT HAS TO HAVE A GOOD STORY and this is quite the opposite.

Killing the character we all know too well, and nothing at the same time, was the biggest mistake of the developers. Not even killing it, but killing it in the way it was, was really humilliating, and I felt the humilliated person was ME as the player. Making you play as the killer in the second half of the game made me not sympathize with it, quite the contrary, made me hate it. This game was an utter insult to everyone who played the first one. The leaker(s) saved me a lot of money, because I was about to buy the collector's edition, and I'll be forever grateful for that kind act.… 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.

    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]
