    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. character development Lacks .. the ending ugh.. the point is to break the cycle of revenge .. Eli broke it.. then Unbroke it.. then broke it again which made the second half pointless aside from a few missing fingers. This doesn’t include the fact that I never enjoyed playing as the person who murdered my favorite character.. Sloppy writing at best.. so yeah.. there’s that.

    I'm a big fan of the series, but oarte 2 disappointed me, the gameplay is inferior to 1 both in mechanics and in variety, and to make matters worse it is really very bad, the biggest disappointment of the year.

    The writing in this is terrible. Terrible story choices. Plot holes galore. No one is giving bad reviews because of LGBT+ elements of the story. Absolutely terrible story. The only reason it is getting a 4 is the gameplay itself isn’t shabby and the graphics are beautiful.

    The story is very bad and characters are not interesting, good gameplay and good graphics but these things do not intercede for the game at all, one minute I will ask you, development team Naughty Dog What do you want to put the LGBT inside the game story?

If you, like me, are a fan of the previous game, then please do yourself a favour and DO NOT play this one. It will tarnish your memory of even the previous game, which was a masterpiece. It isn’t even about the fact that it literally destroys your beloved characters from the previous game, but also because it is completely devoid of any charm that the storytelling of the previous one had. The plot here is so scatter-brained that I still haven’t found a way to summarise it. They just went with whatever had the most shock value in THAT specific moment. And that means characters will switch personalities and motives back and forth like a yo-yo. It doesn’t matter if it’s unnatural for a character to behave a certain way, if it provides a shock value, they’ll put it in. So don’t expect to form any kind of a meaningful relationship with any character (including a certain new one they keep forcing the players to play as, even though audience has no connection with said character, and the parts where you play as them seem extremely tedious) because even by the end of the game, you wouldn’t know exactly who they are as a person. Heck even Ellie, the main character of this game! The only form of connection you will feel with the character is because she was important to you in the first game, because in this one she is barely a shadow of her former self. And I won’t even get into all the injustices done to Joel’s character so lets just move on. The gameplay, well its the same old same old. Don’t expect to be blown out of the water in this category either. They did polish it up a bit, but at the end of the day, the combat and stealth aspects are just as they were in the previous game, which is to say, outdated. The graphics are really gorgeous no doubt, but its still not enough to carry the weight of this incredible failure of a game. After all, with the new generation consoles coming out, plus the already state-of-the-art graphics in most AAA titles these days, this isn’t something that’s gonna blow your mind either. So, all in all, bad game. Doesn’t even work as a stand-alone story, because its not memorable or even good, in any sense.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics are nice, everything is crap. Pacing is so slow and there isn't anywhere close to enough stuff to keep you entertained with such a slow pace. The best characters are killed off, the new characters are verrrrrry boring. It's very obvious that the new developers over at Naughty Dog cared more about their own agenda than giving the fans what they love. Also, that butt sex scene was cringe as **** and not passionate.… Expand

    The game looks amazing, gameplay is an absolute joy, and the story and characters are as engaging as you’d expect from the previous entry. It is as brutal and uncompromising as I’d hoped going in. Happily, I managed to stay spoiler free going in, despite The leaks and all the ruckus. Well worth it.

    ugh just ugh if someone offers you this game for free you are overpaying.

    The Great: Graphics are fantastic graphics alone are why it doesn't get a 0 The Good: Controls while not amazing are perfectly serviceable No innovation, but it feels just like I remember TLOUS 1 The Bad: Is it to much to say anything not mentioned above or below? no I kid, there is a lot bad about this    ugh just ugh if someone offers you this game for free you are overpaying.

    The Great:
    Graphics are fantastic graphics alone are why it doesn't get a 0

    The Good:
    Controls while not amazing are perfectly serviceable No innovation, but it feels just like I remember TLOUS 1

    The Bad:
    Is it to much to say anything not mentioned above or below? no I kid, there is a lot bad about this game most of it has already been said by other reviewers, but here I go.

    -Story: basically boils down to murder is bad and the whole thing is really just some trashy revenge fest
    -Characters: I feel are pretty static and one dimensional I just can't make myself care about anyone other than Ellie or Joel and that has nothing to do with this game they just benefit from their previous adventure. All might as well be stormtroopers for how much I care about any of them as individuals.
    -Relationships: If you can't make me care about your characters how can you make me care about them interacting, again the only character interaction that means anything is Ellie Joel. Ellie's new romantic partner . . . (who's name I legit forgot despite hearing it 20 minutes ago) I will call Token you can tell the team didn't spend any time writing her and she was just there to checkoff diversity quotas.
    -Music: This one is weird, as I actually like the score out of the context of the game, but I felt they using it in ways that was more distracting than amplifying in game, and I just don't think the musical director did a good job with choosing when to play what.

    The Ugly:
    If I wanted to watch sex I would watch porn, the scene feels out of place and I didn't feel it really did anything to tell me more about any of the participants.

    There are several more points I want to list in The Ulgy section, but they would be spoilers so I will omit them for now, my final verdict is if someone paid you a dollar to take this game from them . . . you overpaid    … Expand

From losing his wife and daughter in a tragic murder that scarred him for life, leaving him a hollow shell of a man, unable to love or feel. Then he took on the most important mission for humanity at the time, to protect that young innocent girl Ellie. He lost his only friend in the world to people who wanted to capture her, and he kept going because he thought he was doing what's right. Following Joel and his struggle, not only his struggle to survive or to help save humanity, but the struggle to regain his humanity. Tracing his journey he goes through highs, lows, fights with death and life itself, all to do what he thinks is right, and for us to follow that journey with him. He discovers a part of him that dies long ago thanks to her, thanks to the love he learned he could feel again. To the point where he allowed himself to feel, and loved her so much as his own child that he would rather doom all of humanity than have her die, have him be alone again. Joel had finally learned humility, and humanity.

    The last of us was a masterpiece of gaming, revolutionizing the way that style of game was played, and raising the standard for storytelling and connectivity to the player for other games.

    The Last of Us part 2 is a slap in the face for every loyal fan that bought The Last of us 1 and then later the remastered version. This was a beautiful story that was tainted by the developer's own twisted sexual fetishes. The creators could not help themselves from sexualizing a poor underage girl that went through so much trauma    … 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]
