    This game is shameful to think the studio name Naughty Dog once meant something. The animators and individuals who built the textures and models should take pride in their work. But the writers and people that allowed this muddled piece of garbage to surface should be kept up at night. You had fans waiting years for this game. Ready to explore the consequences of Joel not being honestThis game is shameful to think the studio name Naughty Dog once meant something. The animators and individuals who built the textures and models should take pride in their work. But the writers and people that allowed this muddled piece of garbage to surface should be kept up at night. You had fans waiting years for this game. Ready to explore the consequences of Joel not being honest about his selfish choice to save Ellie in the first game. No instead we get a random ******* cult a character who is suppose to somehow include the LGBTQ+ community but instead turns them into a raging psychopath and the cherry on top is you have to play this piece of ****. How did this become a game, who signed off on this and allowed it in the end. Speaking of the word end there isn't one it's pathetic it's the equivalent of the developer spitting in your face after already beating you into the ground. I really wish I could give this more than a 0 for the model/texture designers, animation devs, and people who helped sculpt the underlying fundamentals. But the writers poor job takes away the score I was going to give them. It is so bad that I am actually taking time to review a **** game instead of playing another one.

    This piece was shameful, There isn't enough bleach in the world to wash my eyes out and clear my head of this pathetic pathetic excuse of a "story" My 3 year old niece writes better stories and all she has to do is scribble a picture together and it's coherent. What is wrong with you Naughty Dog, you should have kept Amy Hennig you CRETINS!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game epitomizes the problem of politicizing the entertainment industry. They sacrifice good storytelling and coherent plot lines to get across a political message. I’m all for the social inclusion and diversity, but killing the most beloved character in the worst way possible and having the entire game be about revenge, just to leave such a disappointment of an ending. Game was just such a let down.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I cannot believe Naughty Dog managed to completely trash a top-tier, triple A masterpiece of a game because they couldn't be bothered to develop an interesting story.
    It all feels like a repetitive task, with empty emotionless characters. It's almost like a PR stunt - they killed off the protagonist just so they could give Ellie a girlfriend - which nobody likes by the way. Not because of her "love" preferences, but because of how she is introduced: she is the one to kill Joel! Naughty Dog thought that a few-minutes-long introduction would've made up for that, and that we'd all start loving her. Well, they were terribly wrong.

    False adverting with the plot, Naughty dog completely disregarded what people liked about the first game and instead shoveled out this trash, On top of that the crunch time game dev's at Naughty dog had to experience is inhumane just to finish the game. Loved the first game tough ...

    Perhaps the most overrated game of all time? The story is made for shock value only. Number 1 was a masterpiece, yet this is anything but.

    That storyline is a garbage fire, the gameplay get tedious quickly and it's just a very big disappointment over the last of us 1.
    The only thing saving the game are the graphics, and even then characters have a huge uncanny feeling.

    It's really sad fans of the first game gets this worthless garbage. I loved the first game, but the story in part 2 is so poorly acted and written, it's like a 3rd party company made this sequel. Please don't buy this if you're a fan of the first one, it's nothing more than a depressing cash grab with some of the worst writing in video game history, it's not even worth downloading freeIt's really sad fans of the first game gets this worthless garbage.

    Main game idea:
    1. show good and bad character.
    2. Let you play for good and feel hatred to bad 3. Let you play for bad character and make you change ur opinion about her. Feel sorry, sympathize her, 4. Again play for good character and feel contradiction in interaction with bad character. It is a nice idea, but there is one problem: 3rd point is ABSOLUTE, COMPLETE FAILURE, and    Main game idea:

    3rd point is ABSOLUTE, COMPLETE FAILURE, and instead of this you just feel contradiction, dissonance, that developers and critics deceived you. And considering bothering gameplay, with the minimum character development and poor story this is definitely ZERO out of 1000.
    The only reason developers made their money is because of respect and hopes from the 1st part. What a pity    … 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]
