    Stop politicizing games! Your obsession with pleasing 2% of the population. If your afraid of leaks ruining your game because it will turn off your fan base make a better game! I’m sick of having left wing, liberal ideologies forced down my throat! I will boycott every future release you publish!

    After the wonderful game that was "the last of us" i was hopeful for the second one only to be massively disappointed. I find the story horrid and insulting, I could understand the concept a circle of violence story if they had kept with the quality of the first story. But instead, they decided to pander and make the game a prime of example of selling out to be inclusive.

But instead, they decided to pander and make the game a prime of example of selling out to be inclusive. I am about 5 hours in as of now and struggling to even continue to play. Below is my score break down

    Graphics - 10 Wonderful looking but that's to be expected
    Gameplay - 7 feels a bit dated but still good
    Story - 2 love the concept of a circle of violence, but am quite disappointed so far
    That averages out to a 6 but due to the feeling of sheer disrespect of the first game i am knocking of 2 more points, I will finish the game but i highly doubt my feelings will change    … Expand

    I'm not a big fan of how little actual play there seems to be, plus it's a revenge story with no revenge. I doubt I will finish this game.

    It's like it was made for kids and I mean that in a bad way

    There's no downplaying what Naughty Dog has achieved on a technical level. The graphics and gameplay are absolutely stunning and incredible. The customization on the way you want to play your playthrough is far ahead of anything Naughty Dog has put out before. If you're simply looking to play this game for the gameplay then you will thoroughly enjoy the experience.

    Unfortunately that's not what most people are looking for in this game. Unlike the gameplay and visuals I can not give the storytelling the same level of praise.

    The Last of Us Part II makes incredibly strange choices in storytelling that constantly made me want to quit and put my controller down. The majority of new additional characters are incredibly unlikeable and/or flat out boring yet the game wants to try and force them down your throats when you'd rather they just get killed off. That added on by the fact that they feel like replacements for characters you'd already grown to love from the first game.

    This is coming from somebody who thoroughly loved the first game, if you've come to experience another incredibly emotional journey and the continuation of Ellie and Joel's story then I'm sorry to say that you'll be incredibly disappointed.    … Expand

    liberal pandering ensured Last of Us would never become a trilogy. So disappointed in both Sony & Naughty Dog

You did not invent things that no one else wants but you must consider this. Just as you want to prove your opinion, there are others whose opinions must be respected. Please take care of the story and your work as game developers. Why not focus on the basics or know what the players want?… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS!!!
    The plot seems as if it was writen by a 14 year old teen with mental disorders, killing here and there without sense, trying to colocate the player in a harsh post apocaliptic time but breaking the immersion every time with the poor cohesion.
    Killing Joel to make Ellie grow up at full is one of the most mediocre resources this game brings up.
    Abby is a flat, dull and pathetical character.
    Her reasons to act lack of deepness.

    Violence bears revenge, is the game's mantra.
    Yet still it splashes you that violence in a way that you get fed up.    … Expand

    I don’t really know what the developers were going for when they released this game but I sure hope it wasn’t to just utterly disgust the fans.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I do feel awful for the people that designed the games environment and graphics because its one of the best I've seen in a game and now all of the studio is going to get this much backlash for the most questionable decisions in story telling ever.

    But before that I do believe the gameplay has barely improved. I expected something more than a jump button, dogs and the ability to crawl. Then if the gameplay isn't much improved then surely the main focus of the game is the story. Which is the worst part of the game. None of the charm and connection from the first game is here. Joel the character I loved most from the last game is killed very early in the game and honestly I wanted to stop playing there. But I forced myself onwards. When they announced the game we all sort of knew Joel was going to die in some way. But the way they did it here is extremely disrespectful to the character that was one of the best parts of the original. They could of done it in such a beautiful way like Lee Everett from the telltale walking dead series. Or Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2. Hitting so emotionally and satisfyingly. But when Joel gets clubbed to death instead and you only feel so much anger towards abby. But i thought okay this is the villain and Joel's death is a driving force. I'm still annoyed but if I get an adult furious and faithful to character Ellie on a hunt for abby with a great ending and emotion in the story i can still give the game a 7. But no. You play as the villain that killed your favourite character. One of the most iconic characters in gaming. And you play as their murderer of the icon of the first game for half of the game. When i started playing as abby I put my controller down in rebellion of this decision because I couldn't accept the stupidity of this. Throughout all of the time with abby the game wanted me to sympethesis with her but I just felt rage towards her. But I also hated playing as Ellie. The side characters are just... eh... just average at best. Returning characters feel off and new characters are boring. But Ellie is the worst at this. In the original she was the little light in the depressing world but here she's stoic and cold and not very likable. But i haven't touched on the ending. We go through armies as Ellie with over 100+ peoples blood on our hands just to reach abby and then let her go. She lets go the murderer of her father figure. No one would do this. I mean at least if we killed her id be a bit happier. All in all the game is maybe okay with gameplay and idiotic when it comes to story. The only thing I can compare it to is if in God of War 2 kratos gets killed by Freya and then we play as her running away from atreus. And then at the end atreus let's her go because of... reasons.

    Stupid story. Don't ever repeat the mistakes.    … Expand

    The only good thing in this game are the graphics, story side were VERY bad, it makes last of us 1 doesnt even matter. Original character were OFF, its a downgraded character development from the previous one. That's what happen when you put too much politics in games over fan base.

    The game is wonderful! Do not look at the rating! The gameplay is amazing the best visual ever see on PS4 deserves 10/10! Just the story a little worse than the first part was! I personally recommend this game.

    There's no way any of these douche bags who gave it a 6 or lower has finished the game. I'm rating it 10 just to counteract the biased **** ratings. I love the gameplay and art direction to bits. Story it lacking a bit but I think people are upset with leaks. Simple.

    Think of this score as a "4" out of "5" as you know the Factions mode is delayed. It will surely be a "9" with it in it.

    If you played the first game, you can just watch the cut scenes online and wait for the MP mode to come out.    … 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]
