    Good move Naughty Dog, killing the iconic character of the first one to stage the lgbt community was a shot in the foot, I think there were much better ways for you to make pink money than killing a weightless character in the narrative, he just died and you put a cutscene already passing to Ellie in the cabin.

    They took a game that was universally loved and made it into a skin suit to push a political agenda. The story is truly awful, it makes sense to only those identitarians and its only appeal is to them. It alienated 95% of its core audiences to pander to the the 1% and the 4% that support them.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I gave this game a 3 as the gameplay and graphics are really good. I managed perhaps a little over halfway then stopped through the game I am not sure if I should bash on and compleat it but I feel like such a sociopath playing Abbi. The main issue I have is the story, It is just terrible and really detracts from any enjoyment did ND forget that games are for enjoyment and entertainment? Perhaps. I Get they went for the not fun approach and wanted to go down the grim dark route. The way old characters are portrayed or have their story lines end I think was a choice given to cheep shock factor or a copy cat of walking dead but carried out and executed very poorly. The new character Abbi has been made a bit of a Mary Sue the story tries Really hard to encourage you to relate too or like her but this is I fear imposable given her actions and arrogance. Other characters do not so much brake character as completely smash it and give no good reason as too why. The story is also confusing jumping between flashbacks Ellie and Abbi. There is also a horrid sex scene that makes you feel awkward and a little disturbed. Over all I would not recommend this game to anyone. Update: Now I have finished the game. The story just did not improve and the ending was extremely unsatisfying. Don't bother trying to stealth your way through and you are pretty much scripted to get into to much ****… Expand

    Try it for yourself and take the game as it is. A lot of the negative reviews I’ve seen of the game focus primarily around the story or “agendas” in which Naughty Dog is pushing. This game will challenge you to think as well as challenge some pre-conceived notions you didn’t even know you had about the world. I’d challenge you to play this game without becoming polarized.

    This game has woke SJW written all over it. I beg of you, stop letting people like Sarkeesian influence this industry. Graphics: amazing. Story: boring cringe-fest.
    it will NEVER be enough pandering for these people, and you should ask yourself: is this our audience, or just people wanting to be offended to have influence? This is everything wrong with today's media. Would not recommend the game.

    Amazing graphics, great facial expressions, gameplay slightly worse than the first game.
    But there's one thing that makes this game horrible: the story. The plot is cheap (I could have come up to with a better one, no jokes), our most beloved characters are unrecognizable.

Joel in the first game is an experienced, calculative, on the money guy. This time, he's dumb as a rock and falls for the most absurd traps. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world, but most of the plot revolves around Ellie's relationship with her girlfriend. It almost feels like I'm watching cutscenes from a teenage-girl soap opera. It's not really about killing zombies, surviving this uninhabitable world, but more about her bickerings with other girls.
    This is not a bad game. When you play a bad game, you feel like your time has been wasted. This is beyond that: it's a horrible game in that after you've played it, you regret ever putting your hands on it and wish you could forget your memories of it, because it also ruined The Last of Us for me.    … Expand

    The Last of Us II is a dumpster fire that is able to impressively utilize the current-gen technology, but that’s about all good it can get.

The positives of this game come where the gameplay is introduced, with stunning graphical improvements and new vertical moving mechanics introduced, which adds a more adventure “feel” to the game than its former predecessor. The motion capturing and voice acting is also to their advantage as well. The flashbacks to when Ellie was 12, are arguably some of the best parts of the game. It reminds you of what made the first game special with it’s character bonding and exploration features. There are many negatives to this game, which begins with Naughty Dog’s marketing team. Before the game released there were lines that were given to Joel‘s character, which got scrapped and given to a new character named Jessie post-release. This heavily mislead consumers into believing that Joel had a bigger role in the overall story, when he really died within the first 2 hours of playing. There were also scenes with what appeared to be 19 year old Ellie and an older character model for Joel, to only be changed back to the young Ellie and Joel from 2013 as flashbacks, which mislead consumers even more. Neil Druckmann, game director of TLOU2, told the fans that Ellie was the only playable character in the game, which is incorrect since for 6-7 hours of gameplay you are forced to play as the main antagonist; Abby.

    The issues continue when you go with the narrative experience of The Last of Us II. The first game took you on an adventure with Joel and Ellie, with immersive and beloved characters, with teaches you that you shouldn’t trust just anyone. In the sequel however, it ruins this theme by taking characters you loved in the first game, make irredeemable decisions and shows us a theme of revenge, which is very cliché in terms of storytelling at a regular basis, and ruins the character development some characters got in the first game. It doesn’t stop however, when they introduced the death of Joel, which could’ve worked if executed more properly. In the first game, it was elaborated that Joel was an untrusting character; even making false names and being wary of every situation. In The Last of Us II however, not even within 24 hours of knowing Abby and her crew, and also being aware that they’ve been hunted for the past 7 years...Joel gives them their names and the location of their hideout, which is completely out of character. Ellie also has some out of character issues aswell. Abby had killed Joel, Ellie’s only father figure, and spends the rest of the game trying to chase revenge after her. During the Final Battle, Ellie has these weird flashbacks that influence her decisions very conveniently, even going as far as to when Abby has bitten off two of her fingers and beaten her bloody, Ellie lets her go after seeing a flashback of Joel playing the guitar. 4/10.    … Expand

    Somewhat great graphics and decent gameplay. Too bad the whole game is a loop of actions being taken without the use of common sense. Every time they open their mouths will make you say "but why...?". There is so little cinematics compared to the gameplay. Which there is a lot of it after each cinematic. All the actions people take in the game seem wrong, forced, or very sudden. Making youSomewhat great graphics and decent gameplay.

Making you question how such a chaotic narrative exist. If I have to compare the narrative to something, then it goes somewhat like this "this boy knows the secret formula. He killed david, now we will kill him slowly" then comes another guy "oh well, lets just kill him" only for the first guy to take a 180 turn and say "what? no! we can't kill him! That is wrong!".

    The story or plot feels like it came straight out from the deepest and darkest sections of Fanfiction. Truly, a game that describes 2020 perfectly.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have NOT completed the game. I am several hours in and have only 2 issues thus far. First, the jump button is completely lame! No need for it, shoulda took a page from Metal Gear Solid V the Phantom Pain. I mean the jump is SUPER lame. Second, how INCREDIBLY LUCKY was Abbey to find Joel after saving her life and after spending Years hunting him and planning and ALL THAT to have him fall in her lap to sucker shoot his knee off? Ugh, PLEASE! Thats that lazy writing some critics have talked about. But other than that...Wow! How utterly amzing is the game? 9 out of 10! Thats how much! If you ever where a Joel and Ellie fan before then part 2 only compliments the part 1. Never played the first but interested in the 2nd? DONT BE! NOT until you play the first. Too many flashbacks will have you confused in the Last of Us timeline. As the the haters? You all can get infected. Oh and Dr. Uckmann, keep on blowing peoples minds, think there's still plenty in the tank!… Expand

    This is a game about selfish terrible people doing selfish terrible things. The poor attempts to generate sympathy for either of the two main characters ring hollow when every decision they make is either baffling or outright despicable. Not quite sure what they were going for, but whatever it was, they failed.

    The gratuitous violence and bleak atmosphere left me feeling numb and disengaged. The game bashes you over the head with the same shallow message, that violence is bad, over and over again until you can't help but roll your eyes, then forces you to play through another 15 hours.

    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]
