    Neil Druckmann disrespects all the fans of the original game like no one did before. The game is just disgusting. All the leaks are legit. The game is the equivalent of the Last Jedi that’s how bad it is. The game has nice graphics and that’s about it. The gameplay is the same no new improvements at all. And the story is an example of how to destroy a beloved game. Neil Druckmann and mostNeil Druckmann disrespects all the fans of the original game like no one did before. The game is just disgusting.

Neil Druckmann and most of the critics are still deceiving the fans that the game is a masterpiece when the reality is a whole different story. Avoid this game as the pest if you’re a fan of the original game. As for me the game ended with the first part and this abomination doesn’t exist for me. I originally gave this game a 2/10 for having nice graphics but because of artificial boosting of the score by metacritic I’ve decided to give it the lowest score possible just to balance things out a lil’ bit.

    The in-game physics and graphics make it a good game without doubt. But the terrible narratives and plots in this sequel totally ruined . The more deep you love TLoU, the more disgust and abomination you will experience playing-through TLoU2.

    You can read any of the hundreds of other negative reviews for a collected spread of what the issues are but I'll simply say that the story is poorly written, the "meaning" is contrived, and the structure of the storyboard is a dumpster fire.

    This is nothing new. It's not a good story. It's not a new story. You can find this message in any other form of media from movies to music to books and it's all done better. If you loved the first one there's a very good chance you'll exit playing this game feeling unsatisfied and betrayed. If that's what you're after more power to you, otherwise skip this abomination.

    Terrible game. It destroys everything that made the first game good. The Last of Us 1's ending gave them everything they needed to make a great sequel. A game about Ellie AND Joel, about Ellie coming to terms with what Joel did. Instead they made this a friggin flashback, barely even diving into it and gave us a random ass revenge story.

    People think this game is being brigaded because it's getting a tonne of 0 out of 10 scores, but a 0 out of 10 is legitimately the appropriate ranking for this game. I mean what did they think Last of Us is? What do you think made the first one amazing? The graphics? The zombie theme? The gameplay? They certainly helped but no, it wasn't any of that. It was Ellie and Joel's relationship that made that game good, and this game just left that very thing in the dust in the first two hours of the game.

    So I'm sorry, it doesn't matter how good the animation is, how good the graphics are, how cleaned up the gameplay is. The story itself destroys this game. It doesn't just fail to add anything to the game, it completely detracts from it, erasing any good points the technical aspects granted this game. It deserves every 0/10 it gets.

    Sadly, this sequel is a poorly written revenge story, which tries force its message down you throat, too which it becomes cringe worthy. They try to introduce new characters, but fails miserably in giving them any depth.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is the worst, Joel being a father figure to me and seeing him die in the worst way possible is horrible. Literally didn't even give him a fighting chance. Gameplay is fun but thats not why I bought the game. I got it for the story and this game lacks. I speak confident that I am not the only one who thinks this. The fact that they are trying to censor reviews is down right pathetic. Oh how the best video game company fell right under Bethesda Expand

    While visually stunning, after the infamous scene happened, the game honestly just felt like such a drag to play. If it had to happen, I wish it would have at least been written and executed in a better way. In a way that wouldn't put such a damper on the spirit of anyone who played it. You can't just open the game on such a note and expect the player to still be having a good time.

You can't just open the game on such a note and expect the player to still be having a good time. And for the latter half of the game, I understand that they want us to sympathize with 'the bad guy', but at that point, even if you give me the saddest, sobbest backstory, I really wouldn't care. I don't want to know it, and I don't want to hear it. I don't WANT to sympathize with this character, period. After such a disgusting way to treat a beloved character, trying to have me sympathize with the bad guy for almost half the game just felt like a slap to the face. I understand that this is a rough world that they live in and dying comes unexpectedly and brutally, but before anything, this is a VIDEO GAME. video games are meant to be enjoyable and immerse the player to keep wanting to play more, but this game did just the opposite. Critics say this ga,e is being 'review-bombed' by 'homophobic' or 'transphobic' gamers, but I cannot stress enough how much that is not even close to the case. You look at other games that feature an lgbt relationship, and they still get a high rating provided the story is good enough. End of the day, this is just a lazily-written game and an utter disappointment. This wasn't the sequel we wanted, and even after waiting 7 years for it, I wish it never happened. Expand

    Even though the game seems to have improved in many aspects, it's story ruins it, the story is bland, it contains lots of fillers and the ending makes you feel empty, because it conveys very little to no emotion, making the protagonist's journey pointless

Joel dies by she hulk who plays golf, then we get to witness she hulk have sex later on with another dude. Not to mention you never get revenge on she hulk for killing joel, killing your friend Jesse and for shooting Tommy's eye out. And I'm not pissed because Joel died. I'm pissed at HOW he died Expand

    The game look absolutely beautiful; environment designs, lighting, textures - but the story is a complete disappointment in every way. It seems like an attempt to take all that is sacred in the human experience, and force you to feel nothing but negativity. It is as though the decision making in the game development was given to a resentful child wanting to annoy the world.

    Dont even bother. The SJW BS feels so forced and out of place in this game. And the game forces you to play a character you hate for like half the game, why?

    Ill give it a 2 because the game worked and looked mostly visually pleasing. But that isnt even saying much since its a console game and is stuck with 30 fps anyways.

    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]
