    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A game with pretty great gameplay but a mediocre story. They killed off Joel so early in the series just so they can dangle flashback scenes just to make you feel sad is just is ridiculous. I would have at least wanted to see some note of those moments before killing Joel off. Forcing you play as Abby for the whole second half of the game was a stupid decision on their part. They don't make her a likeable so you'd actually want to play as her at all before forcing you to. She's an adulterer with no remorse for killing Joel right after he saved her. I know Joel's crimes were atrocious but so are abby's and the whole WLF's. Pulling the whole: "look how relatable and human these **** are... you know the ones who slaughtered people and whole towns. But look they've got dogs, families, kids, and schools. Ooo they didn't kill Ellie and Tommy because they weren't targeting them so they must be good people" even though they're warmongers who've gotten an entire town that looks so impossibly perfect and pristine that its warmonger influences nowhere to be seen in it was so unbelievable that it just left a bad taste in my mouth. I understand the overall message, the execution was just awful. Thought I don't believe I don't believe my score should be as low as it is, I think Naughty Dog needs to get the message across that due to their track record and long 4+ year gaps they need to be held at a higher standard to what we ended up with this dissapointing game.… Expand

    Bad on so many levels..

    They lied about so many things and the story had so many other options to end with and the direction they chose was probably the worst. Ellie should have killed abby or she should have never left home. But that just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the things that ruined the so long awaited release of this game..

    Dull game. Too long and boring, with stupid scenario and characters. Bad game design, no stealth (you use stealth for kills, no for invisible play style). The new mob, who was hidden like "spoiler" - is a fat boring piece of **** To kill it you have to shoot, shoot, and shoot, and shoot... so interesting! Bad game for ppl with no taste,

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a slap in the face to everyone that loved the first game. Do not buy this and save your money. The truth and context of this game is much worse than the leaks. Before I get into one of the worst stories ever. The gameplay is very average in today's modern gaming generation. There are minor improvements from the first game and enemy AI is dumb as ever. There are more cut scenes and walking than actual gameplay. SPOILER ALERT..... they destroyed all of your favorite characters. They dumb down Joel's character on purpose to make him weak and stupid. In the first game he was very smart and had a ton of experience. He didn't even trust a guy that was sick on the road. He chose to run him over. Later we find out that stranger on the road was not sick and it was all a set up. They do everything to make you dislike Joel and continue to spit on him. They have a trans female/male shoot him in the leg and torture him with a golf club right in the first 2 hours of the game. They spit on him literally. They made Ellie unlikable and a selfish human being. She kills everyone and continued to blame Joel for saving her life. She cared so much in saving humanity because she has the immunity but instead she became a lesbian and chose not to reproduce. Let that sink in. She even let's Abby the one that tortured and murdered Joel in front of her get away with it. Abby also bit off two of Ellie's fingers. Her letting Abby go is basically saying Joel deserved dying. A loveable character who is the main character of the game. There was no justice for Joel. This game robbed everything from you just for shock value. The current narrative of destroying the male character to make the female character rise is very weak story telling. It is disrespectful to both genders. Females even hate it. Worst of all the pacing of the story is horrible. You literally play as Abby the character we hate for half the game. They tried so hard to make us like her but none of it worked. This game is a waste of time and money and should have never been created as a sequel. The critics are liars and they don't care about what the fans want. They only care about their political narrative and force you to like something that you will never accept. Then they insult you by calling you names because you don't like the product they are praising. They are the worst kind of human being. Trust the gamers that actually love playing the kind of video games you like. Those are the ones who you should listen to. Vote with your wallet and avoid this dumpster fire. Why care for a game created by a studio that is run by Neil Druckmann who is a male feminist and does not care about the fans and the people he works with. That's why 75 percent of Naughty dog left the company due to how he treated them. This game is created by people that don't care about you and backed by people that hate you. The game wasn't made for the fans and gamers. Vote with your wallets and avoid this at all cost. Especially how they are trying to trick everyone with false advertisement into buying this. Look it up on YouTube. Don't trust the shill media. Watch the negative videos about this game and you will see the truth. Long live Joel and RIP to The Last of Us franchise.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is about the story of Joel and Ellie, and what they did with Joel couldn't be worse. From the point that they decided to kill him, I already lost interest in the story and when playing as Abby, her story left me completely indifferent. It's all about team Joel and Ellie for me.… Expand

    This game is dishonest and it appears that the head writer is psychotic if he thinks this is a good story. I seriously question the mental health of the writer who thinks this even passes as a morality play. It is akin to a sociopath that pretends to know human motivation.

    The fact that they got rid of the competent female writer to have some egocentric lunatic write this ham-fisted, heavy-handed tripe shows that this so called woke take is cynical and was handled by a true toxic male. This is the toxic masculinity that they often trot out we should avoid. If you want to have fun when you play a game, avoid this. Outlast handled torture and strife better. Dying light has better monsters. They ignored the story of trying to actually deal with the plague for this claptrap. I give it a 2 because it looks impressive enough. The mechanics are bland and you have absolutely zero agency with the two players. Think about it, this male 'feminist' takes away the agency of the wronged woman protagonist. What was this game made for, other than some grotesque circle jerk with the writer and a mirror?
    Avoid the game and play something better.

A mi no me compran con graficos para meterme una idea politica en la cabeza. Espero sus ventas sean catastroficas y este "juego" (paquete de pancartas politicas y mensajes repulsivos seria mas apropiado) sea un tremendo fracaso. Porque como producto en si, no merece triunfar. Por la forma terrible en que fue desarrollado (explotando a los trabajadores de la desarrolladora a pleno. Y estoy seguro de que debe haber habido persecucion ideologica y mil cosas que la prensa asquerosa no permite que nos enteremos) Y por la persecucion masiva (strikes por copyright. ¿en serio? como les encanta la censura) y los insultos a quienes lo criticamos (y lo seguiremos haciendo) se merece lo peor.… Expand

    It seems as though the creators of this game tried so hard to make it different and unique, when in reality, they went against everything their audience wanted for the sequel. The character development was terrible, plot was tacky, loopholes everywhere. If they spent as much time building the story as they did make the game beautiful, we would have ended up with a much better game.

    The difference between the critic ratings and the player ratings is, by far, the most interesting story related to this game. More interesting than any of the in-game sermons from the LTBGQ writers. Save your money.

I don’t care for all the reviews on here that are aggravated at the notion that naughty dog altered some of the characters sexuality or whatever, I don’t see how that explains why the story is so poor. What made me so angry throughout my playthrough is how they not only robbed me of playing as the character I loved, but made me sympathize with Abby, and try to vilify Ellie. I **** hated playing this game, they turned one of the most lovable and relatable characters into someone who would throw everything away for revenge like some dumb, unlikeable antagonist. Honestly just so ****g pissed that they ruined Ellie, i wanted to punch through my monitor throughout all the ending cutscenes.

    Why are producers doing these terrors against their fans? This is a game with a feeling of inferiority to the movie. Naughty Dog's cinematic game should have ended in Uncharted 2.
    Other producers shouldn't imitate and critics who gave high scores do not give convincing explanations.

    Hi, friends. I am a Korean game user.

    I am not good at English, so please understand. I want to compare this game as below. I ordered steak at a steakhouse, but only the salad came out. So when I complained, the owner said he wanted to let me know the bad thing about meat. Even the salad was very tasteless.

When I complained about this, Oner replied, "It's because you're ignorant, and I purposely tried to alarm you by making it tasteless."

    I just wanted to eat delicious steak. There is no right to force vegetarianism because its owner suddenly became a vegetarian. Also, I didn't want to force myself to eat and know that the food was not delicious.

    It was the place where I used to make the best steak in the world.....

    Orner is probably very proud to express his will and belief. Not knowing it's his own self-assertion to ignore common sense.

    This game has lost essence of game.
    It reminds me of the line from the WOW Silvanas Windrunner.
    "This game is nothing."

    This game is not worth a damn.

    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]
